'Tis the season

Wanna be all festive without all the typical red and green?  Grab a bottle of "School of Hard Rocks" from Essies 2011 "cocktail" winter collection.

It's no secret.  I just really love Essie.  They have a million shades and yet they manage to create amazing colors unlike anything I've ever seen before.  This gorgeous shade is no exception: Super creamy color that glides on smooth and opaque in two coats and is a beautiful mixture of slate blue, dusty green, and gray.  It does tend to lean more on the "green side".  The gray-tone really makes it more subtle than less loud than a lot of other green shades.  Dries very smooth and shiny.

It does tend to shade-shift depending on lighting, but it is just gorgeous, wintery and festive without being at all gaudy.

Tres chic. <3

  1. It looks like a winter shade for me but we get limited shades of Essie in India
