During a recent Target trip I stumbled across Essie's Resort 2012 collection. I picked up No More Film and She's Picture Perfect because they were the only two that I wanted to try. I wasn't that into the other colors. I was excited about No More Film but decided to try She's Picture Perfect first since I wanted something more office appropriate.
And I LOVE it! Oh man. This is the lavender polish that I've been searching for so long! A bunch of Essie's past lavender polishes just didn't suit my skin coloring (e.g., Nice is Nice and Bangle Jangle). This is different. It's like a lavender equivalent of Chinchilly, one of my Essie faves. She's Picture Perfect is a lavender/periwinkle shade with the teensiest bit of shimmer (more evident in the bottle, than on the nails).
I normally don't really like pastels but I've been loving Essie's pastels this year. They're like neon pastels, if that's even a thing. Much brighter and pigmented. None of that old school dusty pale pastel here! This almost pushes it into a little too much for work because it's so purple and bright, but I love it. This is a pastel I can get behind!
Dang my cuticles are still ragged. I have been neglecting my hands recently while I was on my mini polish break.
Seriously, this is the best lavender polish I've ever tried! Now the consistency is pretty watery and can be tricky to deal with sometimes. I had to redo two nails, but the others I was careful enough to do two thin layers to achieve opaqueness. This is with two layers, a base coat, and a top coat. Now I must attend to my oh so needy pug. Whatchya looking at there lil pug? Oh my nails? Yes this polish is fabulous, don't you agree?!
