Essie Strawberry Acai from the Jello/Redbook Contest
Above & Below: Essie's LE polish in Strawberry Acai. This plant started blooming Sunday and I was wondering which polish to pose with it, so this arrived just in time.
Below: Indoors with no flash. The gloss is so intense on this one that all of the flash pictures I took didn't turn out, so this is a bit dark. Such a cute little certificate that came with it!
Today's mail brought me an unfamiliar package from Hearst Publications. I didn't recall ordering anything, but when I felt a nail polish bottle inside the padded envelope, I remembered about the contest that I shared with you several months back, sponsored by Jello and Redbook. I am happy to have won one of these not only because they are limited edition (they only made 1,000 in this color and 1,000 in the other shade that is also only available through this contest, called Raspberry Goji), but because I've been trying to add to my Essie collection, having only about 12-15 in this line. It's a beautiful shade of deep cherry red, a creme, and it applied nicely after 3 thin coats. I am awed by the high gloss of this polish with no top coat. I think I'm going to go make some Jello now!
beautiful and shiny red! congrats on winning it!

ReplyDeleteThe word "acai" drives me mad now, I must get about 50 spam emails a day in my work account raving about the wonders of acai berries. Grr!

ReplyDeleteCongrats! So interesting it was a contest from Jello and the polish has a shiny jelly finish. Essie got that one perfect! I think you have a garden full of flowers that are dupes to polishes. :)
