Essie Gel Couture Nail Polish in Labels Only ($11.50), my current nail crush
Happy Friday! I need to paint my nails ASAP with this beautiful periwinkle blue from Essie.
This periwinkle makes me think of this one time when Jen and I were college students, and we were killing some time at a bookstore because we were both singers in her dad’s Saturday rock band.
You know, one of those bands that only played once a week at random functions. I think it was somebody’s sixteenth birthday party.
We were sitting there looking through a magazine… We must have been in our early 20s at the time, and I can’t remember why, but the magazine we were looking through was a wedding magazine.
I remember saying to her, “One day we’re gonna be doing this for real,” and she was like, “Oh, my gawd!” Previous to that, we’d never talked about planing our weddings before. It just never came up.
About my distant future wedding, I distinctly remember saying in that conversation, “I’m gonna have you in a periwinkle dress!”
But things didn’t go down that way. Both she and my BFF Cindy ended up wearing very tasteful dark brown J. Crew dresses to go with our other color, which was Tiffany Blue.
So…periwinkle wasn’t involved in any form or fashion, but I did have periwinkle wedding dreams once upon a time (so random!).
Maybe that’s why I like Essie Labels Only from their Gel Couture line.
Essie Labels Only
The Gel Coutures are GREAAAT. They dry quickly and last a long time, and even among the Gel Couture line, Labels Only lasts longer than some of the other shades do for me. I get a full week’s worth of wear using two layers and the Essie Gel Couture Top Coat (you don’t have to use a base coat with these).
It isn’t just a straight-up periwinkle, either. It has secret pink shimmer, which you can kind of see in the top pic.
You can’t go wrong with secret shimmer, ya know? 🙂
It’s available now for $11.50 at Ulta.
What are you wearing on your nails today?
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
P.S. TGIF!
