A couple of weeks ago Toms shoes had a sweepstakes to win a free bottle of Essie polish to push their "One Day Without Shoes" event. It's a special color made especially for the collaboration, One Day Without Blues. I guess I was one of the 5,000 winners! I received my bottle today.
It looks like Coat Azure to me (perhaps a bit less green-toned), but I don't have it to compare. It's a dusty cornflower blue cream with subtle silvery shimmer, a bit brighter than in the picture. Formula was great, very easy to work with, on par with high-end brands. I am wearing two coats, but you might be able to get away with one. Very pretty color, but not particularly unique. Still, I'll never complain about free polish!
did you find out beforehand that you are one of the winners? i got an email saying "enjoy your new Essie polish" and i was wondering if that meant i won as well :P
ReplyDeletebtw, lovely color! (:
Thanks! That's the same email I got, you must be a winner as well!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on winning! That's a gorgeous shade!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
ReplyDeleteI just got mine also!! Out of curiosity I checked eBay and it was selling for about $15. I wonder if they only made 5,000 bottles. Has anyone seen it in stores? I haven't.
ReplyDeleteI think it is just the 5,000 bottles. It looks a lot like Coat Azure to me, though; some day I'm going to wear it and then check stores to compare.
