Essie Your Hut or Mine

Essie Your Hut or Mine

2 coats

from the 2011 Fair Game Resort Collection

Your Hut or Mine is really pretty- it's a dusty dark pink that has a really pretty shimmer in the sun. You can see it a lot better if you enlarge the pic above. Application was great- I got opaque even coverage in two coats.

This is one of those shades that I totally put off using, thinking I just wouldn't care for it, and would you look at that? It actually looks pretty great on!

I did need 3 coats to get opaque coverage, but it applied nicely and dried well too when topped with NYC Grand Central Station. I feel kind silly for not wearing it for so long!

The first time I tried this shade I wasn't a big fan, but maybe the sun wasn't out then? Because LOOK! There's a really pretty hidden shimmer that comes alive in the sun. So gorgeous!

If I wasn't trying to make it thru un-trieds.... I might not even show you this one. I do not like this color on me at all. It's so very TSFW (Totally Suitable For Work), which was nice since I had a business meeting to attend today, but it does something strange up next to my skin. Do not like.

Essie Your Hut or Mine

Yesterday was Mr. Sasha's birthday, and we made plans to go to dinner at The Melting Pot. Oh how we love The Melting Pot! It's expensive, so we save it for special occasions. And since it was his birthday, I'd thought I would do a Mr. Sasha-approved color for my NOTD. He's not a fan of trendy colors and finishes, and prefers what he calls "normal" colors. Read: boring. But I went with it and pulled out a nice rosy pink that was in my un-trieds. Of course he liked it!

Side note to OPI: See how Essie manages to get a label on their mini bottles? PLEASE figure out how to do this on your minis!
