Essie Merino Cool

Wow, I'm coming to an end of all my old swatches! I happened along this one, forgetting I had even done it. Oopsy! Oh well, here it is for ya!

It seems appropriate for today - it's dark and rainy today. No complaints here though. I love the rain. It makes me wanna snuggle with a big fluffy comforter and read a book...

Essie Merino Cool is a dusty gray/purple creme. Two coats is all that is needed, formula was great! It wore for two days before giving me trouble - and it played nice with Seche Vite - no pulling at the tips! It's a nice flattering color that is neutral enough for work, which is a win in my book.

I really like this polish and I'm digging Essie more and more in general.

You may recognize this polish from my Corset Mani from the 52 Week Challenge ...


I can definitely see myself reaching for this one again and again as a nice fall back color that isn't a brown. What do ya'll think?

  2. For being a brown polish Merino Cool is really nice. I don't generally like brown shades.
