01.06.11 Essie at WalMart


Check it out! I bought these Essie nailpolish colors at WalMart. And for a little cheaper than other stores. Can I just say that I never really cared for the brand Essie before because I once got a duo in some white color and the other in Ballet Slippers as a gift and I did not like the application that Ballet Slippers gave me. It felt too slippery when I applied it. No pun intended. However.. it might have just also been the color, I keep telling myself, because it's really opaque and for some reason, the tip of my nails always seem like they get more product than they should. Hopefully these will paint on fine. I also hope they'll only take one application. If not, I'm glad to have these colors nonetheless. Ooh, I was also going to get a Chinchilly. But I realized that I think I already have enough taupe colors. And so instead I got Sew Psyched. I hear it's a good copy of Chanel's Khaki Vert. Since the weather's been quite winter-y, I'm excited to use this one first.

The second one I got is Mamba. And when I first saw it, I was immediately drawn to it. Just like I was drawn to the Sinful Colors nailpolish in Vacation Time. For some reason, these colors just call out Resort to me. (Ooh! And don't get me started on the new No 7 cosmetics line! I'm so excited to get my hands on them, btw). I like to think of this as an obsession to what I imagine summertime to be. Resorts, relaxation, boats, ceiling fans, the Amazon, tanned skin, skinny arms, short shorts. After thinking this just now, I feel like I just had an epiphany. It's resort-anything that I feel utmost fashion and beauty inspired. No wonder I have this thing for all things nautical.
