Sinful Colors: Lavender
Nicole by OPI: Count on Me
A few weeks ago, I was in Target and spotted the Essie Cashmere line. Specifically, Coat Couture. But I knew the whole point of that line was that the finish on the polish was a satin/suede finish. I’m just…not into it. Almost as much as I’m not in to spending $8.50 on an Essie polish that will chip in about an hour. I love Essie’s color selection, but their formula is still the top of my “not the best” list. Throw in the fact that the polish was a demi-matte, and I knew I’d be cursing chips no less than an hour into wear.
But y’all. That color haunted my dreams. Yes, I’m that dramatic. Nail polish colors stay. with. me. Nothing haunts me more than the bottles I don’t purchase. Especially when they are limited edition and I don’t just snatch them up when I see them (looking at you, Cashmere Bathrobe circa Essie Winter Collection 2013). I couldn’t find Coat Couture anywhere. And I wasn’t completely convinced that if I did find it that I’d actually purchase it. But the blue sparkle of that suede polish just spoke to me.
The sunlight was playing a funny little game with the base color (sinful colors: lavender). It’s actually a much deeper taupe-y purple (much like the base color in Coat Couture). I snatched that baby up Target just because I really liked the color. I needed to run over to Marshall’s for some Batiste, and while I was there I found a duo set of Nicole by OPI including Count On Me. It’s a sheer lavender tinted top coat with blue and pink micro-glitters. When I spotted it I thought…OMG! Put that over top the polish I just bought at Target and BOOM!
And so that’s what I did.
I’m totally loving the combo. And I have a serious obsession with cream polishes, so I’m excited to bust out the Nicole polish over top some other colors for some fun new combos!

Wait wait wait. Batiste? Is that dry shampoo? I just posted about it today. NEED MORE INFO. stat 😉
see i love the sinful collections! i have a ton of those and i have found they don't chip as easily!! not to mention they're like $1.99 compared to the overpriced essie.
You are SO speaking my language with the nothing haunts you like the polishes you don't buy!! Which is probably why I own waaaay too many nail polishes – haha! Love that you were able to find a color hack, though – the color combo is gorgeous!
Haha! You make me laugh–nail polish that haunts your dreams. 😉
How funny that people like different formulas with nail polish. Essie is my FAVORITE formula of all time. If I put a base coat and top coat on, I can wear it for over a week with no chips. Isn't that funny?
LOVE the colors you got!
I love Batiste!!! I am the same way you on Essie. I freaking love all of their colors but they are the worst as far as staying power goes!!! I think people buy in to the brand of it. I can guarantee if you painted their hands blindfolded they would like some of the less expensive ones better over time without knowing what they were.
Haha! I, too, have been haunted by the polish I didn't buy. Or polish that I loved, but then got discontinued before I could buy a hundred bottles and hoard them. But the most important thing I have to say is WAY TO HACK YOUR OWN COLOUR! I've read about your Essie woes, so mad props to you for finding a combo that gives you the same look! And at a fraction of the price. You rocked this one, girl!
I got a gorgeous Essie polish from one of their winter collections not realizing it was a weird finish– I prefer cream too– and I ended up returning it because I knew it probably wouldn't be as nice on the nails as it looked in the bottle. Count on Me sounds like such a nice top coat that will go with so many shades!
Still waiting on the Joey nail line 😉 I love that color combo!
If a man can bridge the gap between life and death, if he can live on after he's dead, then maybe he was a great man. See the link below for more info.

Oh I love putting two shades of polishes on too. Sometimes it makes the best color combos ever, and sometimes, well, not. Hahahaha. Love that the colors haunted you. Too funny. Ok, maybe not. 🙂
Oh I love that shade of blue! So pretty! Have you tried the Sally Hansen gel topcoat? I used it for the first time last week and my nails still look fantastic!
