Old School! Essie Night Cap & A Mini Giveaway!
I'm back to purging some of my polishes and trying to slowly get them added to my "shoppe" page, and I realized that I have two bottles of Essie Night Cap--rather than sell one, I'm giving it away! This type of formula may not be everyone's favorite, but they are unique and versatile in their own way. These remind me of the Maybelline Water polishes, and any discontinued Essie without the "e" on the cap, is something that makes me very happy.The formula is thin and definitely takes many coats to build up. I used 3 coats in these photos and if I recall correctly, it takes about 5 to achieve an opaque look. I use this type of polish generally as a topcoat over glitter shades. It softens the looks somewhat and seems to slightly meld the glitter together. The Essie tinted polishes also have a super high-gloss finish.




If you're a fan of old school Essie and particularly the older tinted water-type polishes, I'm going to offer my extra bottle of Night Cap to one follower by using random.org. Just leave your eMail below in the comments. I'll leave the entry period open until midnight Sunday, March 27. The winner will be announced on Monday in my Come Monday weekly newsletter.
This color is cool and looks great with the crackle! primandpolished@gmail.com

ReplyDeleteI absolutely adore sentences like: "I also have a red one in my collection, although the name escapes me and I don't even remember buying it!".
ReplyDeleteThey always make me giggle, I'm turning into someone who will say that to myself and my pretty nail polish bottles! :D
