Essie: Borrowed & Blue

So I'm a complete air head sometimes, I forgot to take a picture of the bottle so this is the picture that I ended up using. Eventually I'll get the whole blogging thing down. So I'm a bit new to Essie, I just started buying it in January. I love the color selection and they are very wearable.

The polish took about 2 coats and is a gorgeous creme baby blue shade. Many may remember OPIs What's with the Cattitude? from the Shrek collection, and this color seems to be comparable to it. I've seen reviews that say this is a bit lighter, sadly I don't own the OPI color because I'm to cheap to pay $10.50 (without shipping) when I only paid $4.97 (with shipping).

I chose to do an accent nail on my ring finger and on my right hand an accent nail on my pointer finger. I do have a top coat on my nails, but I feel this color would also be lovely with a matte top coat.

Let me know what you think? Is this a must have shade in your collection like it was in mine or is it a color you'll be skipping?

AHHH!!! Ok so I'll admit I'm excited this is my first actual post on this blog...the other thing was an intro of sorts so I'm not counting it.

So my local store (Trade Secrets) that sales OPI was having a sale. Buy one get one free! Ok polish junkies we know this is kick butt especially for OPI & Essie, which according to my local store they will no longer be carrying Essie. I've seen swatches of the OPI DS shades and saw that they had 2 DS polishes for sale, so I picked up Classic because the other looked similar to a polish I picked up from the Burlesque collection.

As many, if not everyone, knows OPI has the amazing wide brush which is really good unless you have tiny nails. With all the glitter in the polish I was worried that it was going to be a bit goopey, but it wasn't it applied smoothly. As for removal I swatched the polish on my toe nail and removed it, surprisingly I did not have a hard time getting the polish off of my nail, a problem that can get common among glitter polishes.

OK so quick thing. This is my first post, if you have suggestions then I'm open to them and they will be highly appreciated, but do NOT be mean I'm new at this and just getting the hang of it. If there are things you want to see of polishes you would like to suggest then please leave a comment because I love to look at new colors and have a huge wish list that is always growing.
