Today, I feel like I need to take back everything I said yesterday about nice weather. I guess it was just a tease by mother nature … give me 1 day of 80 degree weather and then plummet the temperature the next day to 45 degrees and massive rainstorms. Even though I complain about the weather, I’ve been glued to the weather channel and there are a lot of other people that have it much worse than me. For all of you in Oklahoma, Kansas and Texas, I hope that you’re staying safe! And for everyone buried under snow in the Dakotas, stay safe and warm!
Since the weather took a major plunge today, I figured I would show you guys another darker polish. I love wearing darks when its cold, wet and dreary, and this one is a new one to me (thank you Anca) and its absolutely incredible!
Essence “Date in the Moonlight” is a dark dusty blue with sporadic blue shimmer. Although from far away it just looks like a navy, from up close this color is so unique. Its a dark dusty blue base with cobalt blue microglitters/shimmers in there, and I don’t have anything like this in my collection. I have so many navy’s that have a purple shimmer, or a blue shimmer, but nothing that is a dusty navy.
The best part of of this polish is the formula. This is just 1 coat! I will say that this is a thicker coat, but it is just 1 coat. So if you’re a person who likes to do thin coats, you may have to do 2, but I get lazy sometimes. The formula wasn’t too thick either and the dry time was pretty good. Overall, I really like this color and really impressed with this polish!
What do you guys think? What are your favorite navy blues? What are your favorite Essence polishes?
Holly , That’s a beautiful polish , and its name is cool too. Looks good on you lady ! Don’t let the OHIO weather get you , summers right around the corner .
awww thank you! and yeah that ohio weather is absolutely awful! where in ohio are you from?
That shade looks familiar! 😉 Also, I was going to say are you in Texas too? Haha, Toby and I were watching the news and they announced a 30 degree temperature drop and we just gave each other shocked expressions. From how they were explaining it, we thought it was going to be way worse over our area, I was expecting hail to leave some dents in my car but it just showered a little. Back to polishes, have you tried Essie’s Dive Bar?
oh i’m glad you guys are ok! and i wish i was down in texas sometimes, my boyfriend really wants to move to austin. so who knows, maybe i’ll be down there in the future. but unfortunately i haven’t tried essie’s dive bar. i own very very few essies, which i really need to rectify
Ahh! Austin was so fun when I went. One of my good friends lives there. It’s the city that feels closest like CA. Anyways, I heard the weather is supposed to get kind of crazy again, be safe!
I love this color! I have it in my stash ‘still untried’ . I am glad you picked this one.
its definitely a good one! its so easy to apply and wear and i bet it will look great on you!
I love this polish in the winter when I’m in a rush. I can get away with 1 coat and I’m out the door 😀

Hey even when i think i should get a few more spring inspired polishes, this girl makes me wanna shop for autumn & winter colors…:P
