In case you didn’t know yet, pale colors are totally in demand for this season. Be it pale colored dresses, shoes or nail polish! Today I get the chance to make a nice comparison between 2 of the most lovable brands in nail industry, Essie and Pop Beauty. I notice that they recently added these colors as part of their Spring campaign. We are already familiar with Pop Beauty Nail Glam and this time they come in pretty pale shades to celebrate the romantic Spring while Essie made these pales as part of their special Wedding Collection. At a glance they might look quite the same but if you take a closer look, you’ll find the distinctive difference. So, which one are you? The Pop diva or the Essie girl? ; )

POP and Essie Nail Color

1. POP Beauty Nail Glam Pink, Green, Lavender, Baby Blue. US$10 each.
2. Essie Instant Hot, Who is the Boss, Like to be bad, Love & Acceptance. US$8 each.

Sweet Thing of the Week: Betsey Johnson Scented Nail Polish

Betsey Johnson Scented Nail Polish

When it comes to manicure and pedicure, I’m a complete addict. I love having neat and clean nails. I believe that you can know what a person is like by looking at their nails. If they’re at least clean and neat (doesn’t necessarily have to be well groomed), then you know that they take good care of themselves. Speaking of nails, I also love experimenting with different colors, although for regular days I’d stick to classic French but there are days when I feel like having shocking pink, orange or green. However, there’s one thing I dislike about nail colors; their strong and distinctive smell. Some of them are so strong you’d need to put your mask on.

However, there’s always a solution for every problem, in this case, a scented nail color. Betsey Johnson recently introduced her signature Too Too scented nail polish! If you love the perfume, then you’re gonna love the nail color. They complement your girly afternoon and a fun girl’s night out. With her signature neon pink color, you’ll feel nothing but fun, flirty love. It’s definitely a must-have product of the week! US$9.50.
