Essie Stroke of Brilliance

I pull my blue jeans on....I pull my old blue jeans on.  Random, but this polish put THIS Keith Urban song in my head. 

This is 3 coats(with top coat) of Stroke of Brilliance over a glue base.  SoB(/giggle) is a clear base with denim blue hex and small glitters.  Of course this would look great over any color but is amazing even on its own.

I got this as a Klout Perk!  I was actually hoping I'd get something else, but really like this now that I've had it on.  I passed it up when I purchased Shine of The Times.

Essie Bikini So Teeny

I was so excited to get this polish.  I got it as a Klout perk.  This is the namesake of the Essie summer 2012 collection.

I would describe this as a soft cornflower blue cream with maybe a slight shimmer.  Essie describes it as a provocative lustrous sky blue.  Above is 2 coats without top coat, but I did have some bubbling issues which could've just been a result of the heat/humidity.  And now that I'm looking I see some bald spots that a 3rd coat might have helped.  I had to swatch it twice.  The first time had really horrible bubbles.

I think I need to pick up a few other colors from this collection.
