Twinsie Tuesday: Essie Spun In Luxe

Spring is finally here and this week, we're having a little fun with the seasons and showcasing a "seasonal opposite" manicure. To me, spring is all about bright, bouncy colors and cute pastels. So for my opposite look, I put on Essie Spun In Luxe, a black satin. There's a really gorgeous teal shimmer in the bottle, but unfortunately it's lost almost completely on the nail unless you add top coat. Without it, it's just plain black--which is nice, but kind of a letdown compared to what you see in the bottle and how the shimmer comes across in the other Cashmere Matte polishes.



The first coat was kind of streaky, but everything evened out nicely by the second coat. The overall formula wasn't the best of the Cashmere Mattes, but it wasn't the worst either--and that kinda mirrors how I felt about Spun In Luxe in general. I didn't dislike it, but it wasn't a huge favorite. I just wish the shimmer was stronger. Still, it's a pretty enough polish if you take it for what it is and I think it fit this week's theme really well!
