Nail Polish Challenge Week 8: Metallic

The holiday weekend was a crazy one for me.

            Sorry I didn't get this up yesterday, but I am a day late because after work yesterday I spent all night going through Cyber Monday deals and then ordering a bunch of Christmas gifts for my loved ones in an attempt to get a jump on the holiday shopping season. Every year I always say I'm going to have all my shopping done before the last week of Christmas so I'm not rushing to try and find something and so far something always comes up so that, that never happens. Last year I was sick for two whole weeks before Christmas and had to go out and shop not feeling well. But I'm determined to not let that happen again this year. Now to get onto what this post is supposed to be about. It's week 8 in our 31 weeks of nail polish challenge and the theme for this week is Metallic.

Essie's Over The Edge #712

        This week I have on Essie's Over The Edge. As you can see it is just a very pretty metallic steel grey. I have on three coats here topped off with my trusty NYC Long Wearing Extra Shiny Topcoat. This happens to be the very first Essie polish that I bought and I love the color, but the formula is very sheer, which is why I have to use three coats. The manicure is simple with nothing special really, but I think the color really matches the drab weather as it slowly starts to shift from fall to winter. All the colorful leaves have pretty much fallen of the trees leaving them barren, the wind is colder, and the skies are greyer without any beautiful white snow to make it pretty. I have my Winter Fortune Cookie Soap Haul & Review coming up as soon as I get off work. So please stick around today to see that! Until next time guys! Bye!
