HePicksMyPolish July Challenge - Dots

Essie Lollipop

Hello readers! I'm doing much better, my shoulder is still sore but my back doesn't hurt as much and the burn is now a reddish, bumpy area on my neck. This week it's HePicksMyPolish week! It's a great challenge where you have a "he" in your life pick out some colors and you have to make a design with whatever they choose. This is my 1st time actively participating even though I attempted something last month. The colors my husband picked were so awful that I just kept getting frustrated and angry. The colors themselves were ok, but they all had such different formulas and I had very limited nail art supplies that all my ideas were massive fails. Alas, now I have more supplies and I told him to try to stick to one section of the stash (cause I have them sorted by brand) so it would be easier on me. Maybe when I'm better at nail art I'll let him pick from wherever.

Essie Swatch - BBF Best Boyfriend

Essie's BBF Best Boyfriend is my go-to sheer polish. They describe it as a creamy mauve, although it looks more light pink to me. It's more natural looking than a regular sheer pink on my medium-olive skin tone and it's the color I always use when I need a little something on my nails but don't have time to get creative or it needs to be neutral. Just 2 coats would be ok, but I always do 3 thin ones so it's a bit more opaque. When my nails are longer, I want to try out a simple French with this color.
