Nail of the Day: Essie's First Timer

I feel like every year there's one nail polish that's talked about like crazy that I can't. find. anywhere (last year it was Essie's Bikini So Teeny) and this year it's Essie's First Timer. I looked at multiple drugstores, only to find this product sold out. I finally found it at Ulta, hidden in a different display! It was like it was meant to be.

Nail of the Day: Essie's Marathin

So I have kind of a love-hate relationship with Essie polishes. I love their colors and the adorable names, but the formula for them is very hit and miss. Some of them are too watery and require four coats, making the polish very difficult to paint with. However, I absolutely LOVE this particular polish. It's extremely easy to pain with and the first time I used it, I only painted one coat. Pictured above is with two coats and a top coat (Sally Hansen's Insta-Dri). This polish is super easy to paint with and I had very few mistakes, which is a first for me. 

The color is beautiful yet classy, definitely appropriate for work or an interview. Plus, this color isn't really geared for a specific season, you can wear it year round! This color is from the Yogaga collection and was released in August 2012. Essie polishes are available at Target, Walgreens, CVS or Rite Aid.

Nail of the Day: Revlon Colorstay in Spanish Moss!

So in the past year or so, along with makeup, I have developed a slight nail polish addiction. I never used to paint my own nails, that is, until I went away to school and lived with three other girls who all changed their nail polish at least once a week. Then I started painting my own nails because, well, everyone else was doing it.
