Essie's Allure and Bourjois Rose Lounge AKA Kate Middleton's Wedding Day Manicure

After the royal wedding in April details slowly started to trickle out about what kind of makeup, perfume and nail polish Kate was wearing on the big day. Naturally I ran out and bought the two colours she was wearing. (Don't act surprised) I first did one layer of Essie's Allure which is a very sheer white. With one coat it really only adds shine. Then I added 2 coats of Bourjois's Rose Lounge. (Lucky for me they sell it in Canada!) If you are a regular reader you know that I usually wear bright, fun and vibrant colours but I think this is a nice alternative to a french manicure.


What do you think?

    This is cute and very simple. I'm a bright mani girl but occasionally I'll do something light just because they last so much longer!

    Very pretty. I always pick colors like that for my own nails because it's harder to tell when I've chipped one, which I inevitably do within an hour of painting them...lol :)

    I have been casting spells for many years and I have helped many people, I might be able to help you too. I am honest, and I genuinely care for all the clients who choose me to cast a spell for them.
    If you have any questions about Love, Money, curse, protection, bad luck, divorce, court cases, or about me please call or email me. I really want you to feel comfortable before moving forward with any spells, or other services. I will take the time to explain things to you and provide you with honest advice, to what is best for your situation. I will not pressure you into having a spell cast, I will leave that decision up to you, and when or if you decide to move forward, I might be able to help you.
    I will respect your Privacy. I will not seek to obtain any of your personal information beyond what you might voluntarily offer and all information you might give me including emails, phone numbers and photos will remain private and confidential.
    I perform my Rituals only at night between the hours of 0.00 - 0.59 (South African time) lasting 1 hour but of course, this depends on the nature of the ritual, some rituals might take hours and can also become necessary to be performed at specials places like; flowing streams, cemeteries and other places dictated by the gods.
    I do not want anyone to be under any illusions about my spells and its numerous rituals. Real and effective Voodoo is no child's play, it is expensive because, after the rituals, I will have to destroy all the materials involved by fire and the ashes scattered over a flowing stream or river.
    You will get what you seek.But please understand this might take a lot of time and that individual results may vary. contact +27663492930, greatogudugu@gmail.com
