notd: great expectations
hi!
today i’m sporting an essie nail polish: “great expectations.” it was released along with 5 other colors in the spring collection of ’07. i happen to love this collection because the colors are so delicate and pretty.
the only downside is that the shades are a bit on the sheer side. “great exectations” was 4 or maybe 5 coats– i lost count and just kept adding more coats until it was somewhat opaque. but, once you get past that, the color is really pretty: a soft dove gray. there is also a subtle silver shimmer that’s barely noticeable, so it’s not quite a crème finish.
“great expectations” with a bow ^.^ hmm, the polish is looking a little purple-y here which it tends to do sometimes if the lighting and the angles are right. strange.
as always, thanks for looking!
