Seven


Essie- Rockstar Skinny


Let me start out by saying that I am intrigued by vampy colors. I never got into them but a couple months ago I found Orly's thorned rose in the clearance bin of my local ulta and bang- the love is kindled.

So when I participated in a nail polish exchange and found this wicked vampy brown-red I could not resist. I dont have that many essies but I have always been impressed with their wear.

The bottle and brush are pretty standard- neither perfect or impratical. They gets the job done. The color in this particular bottle is a little off- there is a visible silver shimmer which is hard to find on the nail. This took 2 easy coats which dried pretty fast

When you look at this picture of swatches you can see there is a shimmer but the main color is a brown-red. Its muddy. Its intresting. Its a great red for fall. I did not need to use a top coat for this particular polish. (YAY) I did apply my ulta base coat before putting it on though.





What colors do you want me to blog about?

  1. Last week I found this color at Ulta in the clearance section. It was 50% off! I'm glad I got it, thanks for the swatch. Now I don't actually have to swatch it on myself! LOL
