ESSIE- Russian Roulette

I should probably ‘fess up now. I’m a huge hockey fan. A CAPS hockey fan. And we ROCK THE RED here in Washington, DC. And I don’t know if you know this, but two of our biggest stars are Russians. So when I went on an ESSIE shopping spree a few weeks ago and saw a color called Russian Roulette, well, I don’t know if there is a better example of fate.

I used:
1 coat Seche Vite Base Coat
2 coats ESSIE- Russian Roulette
1 coat Seche Vite Quick Dry Top Coat

I find that ESSIE formula is kind of hit or miss. Well folks, this is a HIT!!! It went on really smooth, covered evenly, and is thick enough that you can go over fresh polish without risking streaks. I find that i am a habitual 3 coater, so that’s what I did with this. If you have very “white” tips, you’ll need 3 coats, but if you have less contrast between nail and tips, 2 coats will be fine. It’s also a true fire engine red. This particular color is definitely worth the $7.79 I paid at Walmart. And with 82 games in a season, plus playoffs, I don’t think this bottle is going to last me very long! *adds to christmas list* And apologies for the “colored outside the lines” look of this mani. I’m quite busy over the next few days, and wanted to be able to prepare the pics so I could put them on my phone and blog on the go! Besides, we can’t be perfect nail artists all the time, now can we?
