Old NOTD Essie Pretty Edgy

The picture pretty much says it all. It's a really fun color, but I didn't love it on me. It probably had more to do with the weather than the polish. It just seemed ... wrong. I dunno. Anyway, can I just say how much I love Essie? I have NEVER been disappointed with this brand. It goes on super smooth regardless of the skinny brush, and dries super smooth and thin. Essie always wears like iron on me too. I wish I had more Essies!!

I got lots of cheap polish today, WOOT! And LAUNDRY ...

I did so much damn laundry today ... ugh. Prob 8 loads or more. I have 8 more to do from the looks of the pile in there. Booo.


So, I did exactly what I said I'd do after dropping everyone off at work and school this morning. I spent 2.5 glorious hours bee-bopping around town stopping at different drugstores looking for clearance polish. I ended up with 8 bottles. 2 Borghese, 1 Cover Girl, 1 Rimmel, 1 Sinful and 3 Milani.

Here is Borghese Cannoli Cream:


Yeah, it's pretty boring, a nude/bisque cream, but I LIKE it! It's so posh looking. The formula and application were awesome too. This is the first Borghese polish I have tried, and I'm already hooked. The brush is enormous and fat compared to other polish brushes. I like this because I have big hands, thus larger nails. It did make for a little extra sloppiness around the edges, but I'm sure I'll adapt quickly. Pictured is 3 coats over Orly Bonder and Essie Fill the Gap with 1 coat Seche Vite on top. If you like sheers, this was pretty even on the first coat. It was totally even after the 2nd coat, but I did a 3rd because I don't care for visible nail line. With 3 coats, there is barely any. The best part about this polish was the price tag! I got it for 2.19 at Walgreens on clearance.
