Essie

My all-time favorite nail treatment to use as a basecoat is Essie's Millionails. Trufax. I actually scored a bottle of it at TJ Maxx for $2! But I'm not talking about basecoats or nail treatments here, I'm talking about polishes.

I only own two Essie polishes. Frankly, they do not usually appeal to me, as I am not into sheers and baby pinks.

I did buy a bottle of Blushing Bride and, uh, it's a sheer pinky-nude. You really cannot tell I'm wearing an actual color on my nails. So, check it out, my nails are kinda stained! See it underneath the Blushing Bride!


But this color? I LOVE IT. I know, it's that trendy minty-pastel-green-blue color. This is Mint Candy Apple. I was lusting after this polish after reading about it online, but finally broke down and bought it at Ulta when I visited my folks for Christmas. You see that label? I scored a deal! Essie for the price of Wet n Wild, you cannot beat that! AND I love the color! Double score! This applies easily and is opaque in two coats. It also looks awesome with a matte topcoat... :)
