Essie Turquoise and Caicos Nail Lacquer


This the one Essie polish I somehow have managed to own two bottle off along the way, odd seeing as I never ever reach for it and as a result sold one bottle within my blogsale. However sending one away to a new home made me realise just how pretty this light almost mint green turquoise is and I immediately painted it on my nails.

It was only then that I reaslised why I don't reach for this particular polish despite the beautiful hue - the formula, my god is the formula rubbish! A fine, streaky polish that requires at least three coats before it becomes opaque in parts and four for a perfect finish. Patience is not my strong point and needless to say that despite today's outing this polish will be neatly stored in the polish vaults once again!

Essie polishes seem to be more miss than hit these days if you ask me!
