Since college I have been a huge fan of the pedicure. I'm about as good at painting my own nails as my five year old daughter is...the skin around my nails gets almost as much polish on it as the nail does. Before children when time and money were both easier to come by I would get a pedicure pretty regularly, at least every two weeks if not more often. The frequency of these polish changes meant I really never had to buy my own polish but as time went on, the kids came, finances got more tight and the first thing to go was this little luxury.
It is now January and I can't remember the last time I had my piggies painted by someone who actually knew what they were doing. A couple of weeks ago my girls and I were strolling the aisles of Target when we came across the make-up section. There was a display of 'Hello Kitty' items that my 3 year old was drooling over right next to a row of Essie nail polishes. I thought I would treat myself to a new color since it has been years since I bought a bottle of nail polish. My husband loves red so I narrowed it down pretty quickly and thought the name 'Fishnet Stockings' was cute and fun so, $8 later, we were on our way home.
I have worn Essie nail polish a number of times in the past but have stuck to their pale pinks and whites since they stay on so well and are beautifully opaque. This polish, however, did not disappoint. It went on smoothly as does all Essie polish but the color was such a rich, red, red...I love it! If you are looking for a true red polish then look no further. I may even have to take this little find along with me the next time I do get a pedicure!
