Swatched - 'Mystery' Polish #2

Hey again everyone!

Another mystery Essie today - this one is a frosted forest green. I really love this one - nicely pigmented, applied nicely like most Essies tend to - it only needed 1 coat but I did apply two to see if it would make a difference. It didn't. I love it - beautiful Xmassy colour and you can expect to see it again soon!

What do you think?

Swatched - 'Mystery' Essie #1

Just a quick swatch today - this is of a mystery Essie that I picked up from TK Maxx in a set of 5. It has a strangely smaller lid than other Essie's in the set and has no identifying information other than 23 stamped into the glass bottle. This information has yielded nothing as to what colour or shade this polish might be.

I would describe it as a frosted caramel colour. In the bottle it looks much darker and richer brown with streaks of silver pigment. When you apply it to the nail, it comes out like an antique gold. It covered well in the first coat, but I added a second for good measure. With its frosted appearance, it does show brush strokes so you have to be careful when you apply it to reduce how obvious they are.

What do you think? I'm not sure...
