First up is Essie Fifth Avenue. This polish is old news by now, but it's new to me, and I must say that I am in LOVE with it. Here is 2 easy coats with Essie Good to Go tc. You could TOTALLY get away with 1 coat if you're in a rush or just feeling lazy and don't mind a tidbit of VNL, but I had the tiiiiiniest little bald spot on my thumb and wanted full opacity.
It's simply the perfect bright orange-red with nary a cool undertone in sight. I have been looking for a cheery tomato red like this for quite a while, but I could never quite nail it (pun intended). Every red I picked up ended up either leaning too berry-ish or too cool-toned, and none of them were as bright as I wanted. But then I stumbled across this beauty on Head2Toe, took my chances, and it ended up being exactly what I was looking for!
I reeeally love how this looks with my skintone. Cool-toned reds always seem to accentuate my cool undertones and make my skin look much more red than it actually is. This one, though, perfectly compliments it.
The photo seriously does not do it justice. I am in loooove with this color. It looks almost orange in some lights, but under the OttLight (which also doubles as my desk light), is just the most perfect eye-searing tomato hue, and I can't stop looking at it. I'm not a believer in matching your nail polish to the season - I wear whatever I want whenever - but this is a super summery color and totally appropriate for the warmer days ahead.
Do you think I drove home how much I adore this polish? Lol. I can see myself reaching for this quite a lot. I might have to get a backup at some point! Anyways... until next time... PEACE! xoxo
