I am absolutely in love with this Essie nail polish and I actually understand what the bloggers were talking about. I applied the Rimmel Blue Vogue which is a dark blue almost black blue. I just applied one coat and then after it dried up, I applied one coat of Essie Shine of the times. The picture doesn’t do justice to this nail polish but you could see lot of swatches in the blogs. I love the shine and I kept looking at my nails . I got lot of compliments for this nail polish as well .

I found this Essie mini Summer collection 2011 in TJ Maxx and I just couldn’t resist them . Seriously 4 nail polish for $ 10, who can resist it. The colors seen here are Meet Me at Sunset, Smooth Sailing, Braziliant and Super Bossa Nova. I have see one more collection but it was like a natural looking nail polish which I am not fond of. Hopefully these look good on my nails .

Nail #40 : Essie Your Hut or Mine

I found this in Ulta in the clearance section for about $ 5.99 and the retail price is $8.99. This is my first Essie nail polish. This is a peachy/coral color nail polish and on the first glance it was not that attractive but when you look close you see those minute gold and pink shimmer which looks almost like a sheen.

The packaging is cute and the formulation is super smooth but you need at least 2-3 coats since one coat is too sheer. For my first Essie, I actually liked the formulation and the brush. No wonder it’s an favourite for so many nail-o-holics .

Ok, the truth is this color doesn’t suit my skin tone at all . Its looks so bland in my nails that I wasn’t impressed at all. But I heard other bloggers saying that they liked it and I think this will suit more fair skin tones and not medium skin tone. I kept looking at my nails and thinking that I need to change my nail polish . But I will buy more of this brand in the future, maybe other colors which suit my skin tone and it definitely has to be on sale .

I have hauled lot of nail polishes lately and I have to show you stuffs which I got in the past 2 weeks since I thought it was some of the best bargains . I have to talk about the OPI Serena collection. I found this pair in TJ Maxx and I love that shop . I got this pair for $ 8 where as I still saw this collection in Ulta for $ 15 . Then I went to Ulta to see if I can find the Essie Shine of the times nail polish since it is a limited edition and one of the best dupes for Sally Hansen’s Hidden treasure which you can’t find it anymore . Anyway, I couldn’t find it , the shelf was bare and I was so disappointed so I checked out their clearance area and I found 2 nail polishes which I liked. I found Essie Your hut or mine and Essence Holographic nail polish in Blue Ray.

So I thought that I am never going to get that nail polish, but hubby took me to Walgreens on sunday and What do I see? Essie Shine of the time and you can see me diving to the shelf to get one and I seriously shouted “YES” . I am so thrilled to get this nail polish. I am hoping to do more nail series in the future.
