[intro] hello lovelies

Moseyed over here from random acts of r/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon!

I've been exploring mattes (OPI, China Glaze and Man Glaze) this year, and right now I'm giving my nails a break before they go right back to black matte. I grew my nails out a bit this summer, cut 'em off and started again. But I might cut those poor suckers off for school. I tried my first essie polish last month and was quite pleased with it. Are their formulas typically all that thick?

Here's a question for you: What's a shade of nail polish you were skeptical about but worked out?

Anyhow, I can't wait to browse all your wishlists for some new colors to eye and send at will! :)

Welcome to our cozy little subreddit! Wonderful to have you!

I've found Essie generally is kind of thick, at least when I use it. Right between smooth and goopy.

It would have to be yellow. Yellow is one of my favorite colors, but only a good mustardy yellow looks decent on my skin. But I've never seen a mustard yellow nail polish in my life! So I end up with the neon-y ones. All the same, I love them. They probably look like shit on me but....

Don't forget to check our contests! See you around!

Hiya! Essie is one brand that I haven't really bought before. I think I only have one polish by them. I personally have trouble finding a good red that is not too orangy. I just can't find that perfect pin-up red!
