NOTD: Essie Mademoiselle

Last week I saw pictures of on Instagram the nail polish that was used on the runway for NYFW and I saw that Essie Mademoiselle was used in the Dion Lee fashion show (here). Since I had this shade in my collection I decided to try it and I really loved it. Essie describes this shade as "the most classic grown-up pink." I never thought that I would like wearing sheer nail polish but this one is just my nails but better. It just enhances your nails and makes it look like you're wearing a french manicure. I did two coats just to make sure my nails were fully covered but I think one coat was used in the photo from the fashion show. I would say that this polish lasted 3 days on my nails because on the fourth day I found that the colour was fading. This is a great polish if you're looking for a sheer pink. This is a shade of nail polish that would look great for any occasion whether it's formal, professional or casual because it's a noticeable colour. It's just makes your nails look flawless. I will definitely keep wearing it.

The Me-Time Tag

What do you watch or read during me-time?

I usually watch my favorite show of the moment or I catch up on Youtube videos. I’ve been watching Parks and Rec for the past month, and I started watching Parenthood yesterday. Before that I re-watched the entire series of Gilmore Girls. I usually read any book that sparks my interest. The last book I read and loved was Yes Please by Amy Poehler. Sometimes I watch a movie. My Sunday night me-time currently consists of watching Call the Midwife while straightening my hair. 

What do you wear during me-time? 

The comfiest clothes I own which is usually yoga pants and a comfy sweater or my pajamas. 

What are your me-time beauty products?

NUXE Rêve de Miel lip balm and Lush Dream Cream. 

Current favourite nail polish? 

Essie Merino Cool is the polish I’ve reached for the most in the past few months. 

What do you eat/drink during me-time? 

Tea because it relaxes me. Sometimes I’ll have some chocolate or a cookie or anything else that I’ve baked. 

Current favourite candle?

Autumn from Bath & Body Works was my favourite but I used it all up and now I’m mourning the loss of it till next Fall. I also love to burn candles that have a wooden wick because they crackle while they burn and it has the illusion of sitting by the fire. 

Do you ever have outdoor me-time?

No. It’s super cold right now. Sometimes in spring or early summer when there’s a cool breeze in the evenings I like going for walks and seeing the flowers in bloom. 

Would you ever go see a movie alone? 

Yes. I’ve never done it but I would like to. 

Favourite online shop? 

I like browsing Etsy, Feel Unique, Sephora and Forever 21. 

Anything to add? What else do you do during me-time? 

I like to bake. It takes away all my stress and makes the whole house smell good. I also like listening to music to de-stress as well.
