Essie Stroke of Brilliance is a periwinkle blue glitter in a clear base. Nice addition to the collection. I love that it's not completely blue or purple, but somewhere in between. It's dense so one coat (below) covers beautifully.
I layered this over Sally Hansen White On!, an opaque white creme; and Wet N Wild Megalast Break The Ice, which is a gorgeous sheer white polish with shimmer. Essie Stroke of Brilliance is gorgeous against a light polish, don't you think?
Have any of you picked this up yet?
P.S. Moving sucks. With all this rain the move is now pushed back to next week. So now I'm no longer on track with my posts, now I'm behind since I have to do next week's challenge posts. Sigh. AND I'm living surrounded by boxes. Bah! At least my polishes will keep me company.
wow this is so pretty!!! I may have to pick it up since Essie is my favorite!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's so pretty, it's worth it!
DeleteOMG I seriously just had a heart attack when I saw your post in my FB feed! I have been stalking my Wags/CVS for weeks lol. Love the swatches!!! xo E
ReplyDeleteHaha. Thanks! And maybe the polishes are there, just not well marked. They are put in the same five polish displays, but one row will have these. It's so weird.
DeleteI love Essie. I'll have to try this one out.
ReplyDeleteDef recommend. It's so out of the ordinary.
DeleteI can't decide if I want it or not.
ReplyDeleteLet me help you ... YES YOU DO. =)
DeleteOoo, so pretty! Perhaps I'll need to check it out... I'm lacking blue-ish glitter.
ReplyDeleteI thought the same thing when I saw it, which is why I grabbed it. So pretty.
DeleteLooks beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you
DeleteIt's really pretty! You're right, it looks great over the white shimmer base!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty ... Can't wait to try it over a dark gray base. I bet it would be awesome.
DeleteI need to look for this one!
ReplyDeleteI agree! It's so pretty.
Deletethat's really pretty, but it reminds me of one of the milani jewel fx polishes :x i hope all your polishes made it safely through the move!! <33
ReplyDeleteI must have missed that one. I hope so too! I keep unpacking them so I can use them, so I am going to have to pack them all over again!
DeleteI just got this yesterday! I have it on my nails right now over Essie's Blue Rhapsody, and it's going to be tomorrow's blog post :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE it! I actually just grabbed a second at another Walgreens- at my Walgreens, Stroke of Brilliance was in a LuxEffects display towards the front with all the other displays (and had big 'NEW!' stickers over the SoB spot). At the second Walgreens there was no display, so I just asked the girl working there- who directed me to the normal Essie area. They had it in the normal LuxEffects spot, but nothing to say 'new!'. So everyone should keep their eyes open in both spots!
Oh I bet that combo is gorgeous!! That's so weird about the displays! Maybe Walgreen's should know better! haha I don't know but it's a FAIL on someone's part because people who aren't as crazy, er, up to date as us wouldn't even notice it on the display racks!
DeleteWow I love it! So pretty!
ReplyDeleteThanks
DeleteThis is so cute! I just found Essie stroke of brilliance at my local store it was the only one and I picked it up it is such a pretty glitter.
ReplyDeleteGood call! It's a great glitter. I hope you like it!!
DeleteWaw! That's so beautiful! Ilove colors! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks!
ReplyDeleteSometimes there's a color combo that I love & this has got to be one of the best ones! For some reason the purple just looks amazing against that white!
