Nail vanish is a must for me, I need to see my nails coloured, otherwise I'd feel naked. I know, a bit dramatic.
Essie's nail vanishes are by far my favourites, but since it's really hard to find them here, I had to find an alternative to them. L'Oréal recently launched these Color Riche Les Vernis à L'Huile  (= oil nail polish): there are 22 shades and the main feature about them is that they are infused with oils. What kinds? "Rose, Lotus bloom, camellia seed, argan".
The brush is pretty wide and covers the nail easily. I usually apply two thin coats and sometimes three. I had no problem with the application and the polish glides on like a dream.
Here are the shades that I got:

This one looks opaque after three thin coats and it reminds me of Essie Fiji!

#FOTD 004

Sunday 22 January 2017
I do apologize for these close-ups of my pale face (paler than it actually is). The main character of this make-up look, as you can probably tell, is the lipstick, which is the NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Transylvania. Since I got it I probably wore it twice, because it's quite hard to apply: it goes really stripy on the lips and once it has dried out it accentuates the lines on your lips. But I decided to give it a go (again) because it's a gorgeous colour. 

Here's what I'm wearing: 
Too Faced HangoverX Primer // 
Mac Studio Sculpt Foundation // NW15
Rimmel Match PerfectionConcealer // Ivory
Kiko Sculpting Touch Creamy Stick Contour // 201 chocolate
Nars Sculpting Multiple Duo Stick // Hot Sand highlight
e.l.f HD powder 
Narsissist Cheek Palette // Laguna bronzer, I blush
Catrice High Glow Mineral Highlighting Powder // 010 light infusion
ABH Dipbrow Pomade // dark brown
Naked Ultimate Basics Palette // Pre-game all over the lid, Faith & Lockout in the crease, Extra Bitter all over the lid
L'Oréal Super Liner Ultra Precision 
Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara
NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream // Transylvania
