NOTD - Essie Smokin Hot

Today I am wearing Essie "Smokin' Hot" that was sent to me in a swap. I believe this is from Essie's Winter 2010 collection. I absolutely love this colour it is hard to describe but it's a kind of purple/mauve greige type of colour! Perfect for Winter!!! I applied two coats and application was easy as expected with Essie and a lovely opaque creme finish very glossy! I think the colour is just so beautiful.

As you will see from the photos I have kept the accent mani finger with Barry M "silver foil" as base, two coats of Milani "Silver FX" and a layer on top of OPI "Servin up Sparkle".

What do you think?

Nail Mail - Essie's, OPI, China Glaze & Milani

Today I received some fab nail mail from a lovely MUA'er! I sent her some brand new Barry M polishes in exchange for a some brand new polishes from my wishlist and a few polish surprises from the US! I am over the moon with the selections that she sent and felt like it was my birthday when unwrapping each one this morning!

I received the following:- L to R

Essie "Very Structured"
Milani "Garnet Gems"
China Glaze "Brownstone"
OPI "Servin up Sparkle"
Essie "Smokin Hot"

I cannot wait to try them all out! I was so intrigued by Essie Smokin' Hot and so I have painted my nails with that first (pics to follow tomorrow!). Sorry the photos aren't up to much as they do not do the bottles justice but it was dark when photo was taken and from my iphone! Swatches and manicures will follow of these soon!
