Week 11: Shopping my Stash for Untried Polish- Essie Demure Vixen

One of my nails tore off about three-quarters up my nail bed, so I'm stuck with a gross, short, bloody nail on my swatching hand.  Nooooo, not the swatching hand!  Ugh, I'm going to have to wait until it grows out a bit to take pictures because it bothers me too much.  Luckily I wear nail polish faster than I can post about them so I have a few pictures already taken.  So my nail lengths in pictures are going to varying wildly over the next few weeks.

I bought this polish when it first came out, which was awhile ago, but I barely wore it a month ago.  I just figured it would be too boring for my tastes.  Sometimes when I'm feeling particularly unispired I pick several polishes at random and tell my boyfriend to pick one.  Because he loves me, he feigns interest and plays along.  Almost every time he will pick either a green polish or the most sparkly one there is, but this time he picked Essie's Demure Vixen.  I asked him why and he said because it looks "dirty".  Haha, I guess that's a good reason.  Oh, click here to see my what untrieds I wore in previous weeks.

If I remember correctly this was at least 3 coats. I find that Essie polishes usually apply a bit sheerly.  And I really should have put another layer of topcoat on before taking pictures as the finish looks sort of dull.  But, I took these pictures after four days of wearing the polish and it still looks pretty damn good.
