Essie - Sable Collar (Shearling Darling Collection, winter 2013)

It's Essie again ;-)
Today I have Essie's Sable Collar for you. It is quite a complex colour: the base is dark brown but there is a hint of black there as well as a touch of pearl, this combo makes it greyed out. Yet that is not all: in the depths you can find this smoldering wine shimmer/glow that gives the polish it's warmth.
I wore this for days without getting tired of it, it's very neutral but not boring at all!

The first coat was a bit streaky with application, the second coat gave me this wonderful opaque result without any trouble.
I love it <3

Essie - Warm And Toasty Turtleneck (Shearling Darling Collection, winter 2013)

Ahhh, there we go again: Essie!
It's a bit weird lately; at first glance, I find a lot of the present collection a bit bland and boring and then after a while....I like them very much and I all of a sudden "need"' at least some of the polishes. It was the same with the Shearling Darling Collection, first up I thought it was all a bit blah and seen-that-done-that kind of feel but then the shift happened and I started liking Warm And Toasty Turtleneck closely followed by Sable Collar. Things like that just happen!

Warm And Toasty Turtleneck is this greyed out lilac that is a soft colour but not a pastel and very neutral but not boring. The formula is perfect and creamy, it took two easy coats to achieve the following result:

I love it very much.....do you see a warm and fluffly sweater when you look at this colour? I do: just look through your eyelashes.....you see....very cosy and snuggly indeed >huh?!<
