Hi, I normally only wear RBL polish, except for my go-to summer shade, Essie’s One of a Kind. I just placed a new RBL order, including your Orbis non Suficit! I really wanted to add coral to my order, but was afraid it was too pink compared to One of a Kind. What is your opinion?

[...] On the Edge is a very stunning dark royal blue. It’s much darker than Essie Mesmerize, and very similar to OPI Dating a Royal but slightly deeper, darker, and more opaque. My picture is [...]

Rebecca – I put a lot of thought into this before I wrote this reply. If there were another word that would easily describe the same group of colors as the word nude I would just change the word but the fact is that there isn’t. And that realization lead me to the following conclusion: I think your projecting a meaning to the word nude that just isn’t there. Like the word blue or green it doesn’t just refer to one color – there is a huge range of colors that people might refer to as being the color blue. Nude doesn’t make me think of naked white people. The color that I think of when I think of a standard example of nude is like a pinkish brownish wheat color – nobody’s skin looks like that (the way no one’s skin actually looks black, yellow, red, or white despite the fact that we use those words however inappropriately to describe skin color.) I’m not white. Race is an issue in my everyday life. I’m definitely sensitive to race or gender biased behavior and language. But I just don’t see a presumption of whiteness here.

TAG – I can’t believe you’re on the fence about it!! *dies*

Kyosuke – : ) Thanks.

Lina-Elvira – Hmm… I know there must be a few of them but I can’t think of any of the top of my head.

Astasia – LOL. Wear what you love. : )

Alison – No news for summer yet but I agree that last year’s spring collection was amazing.

Dara – I think it’s a personal choice. On myself I like to have shorter nails for brighter colors but lately I’ve had to keep my nails longer for a project I’m working on so I’ve just been wearing whatever.

Linds – : ( Yup.

Jamie – Totally agreed and me too, I have a huuuuuge Essie collection. I’m a big fan of their older stuff.

Amanda – : ) haha, thanks.

Dana – LOL *joins in on the clapping* I LOVE the RBL Glitters, I can’t believe she put out of a collection of glitters. Perfect example of stepping outside the box. Let me know what you think of Sexsea when you get it.

Susie – They’re not close. DAR has more purple in it. I want to say that Mesmerize is more of a middle toned blue.

Livia – Para te falar a verdade, não sei.
Eu acho que foi no passado ano. Os novos esmaltes que são B3F tem letras azuis debaixo da botelha. : )

Linds – XD

Jacky – Woot, I love success stories. : )

Laura – Thank you! And def, it’s a great blue crème.

Amanda – I’m a murad fan too!!! But they’re pricey so I only buy their face stuff. : )

Lucy – Thanks. : )

Jason – Exactly! Lol.

Auburngal – Awww : ( sorry lol. It’s not exact anyway. Trust sometimes it’s better to just buy the expensive lemming because it’s easy to waste as much as you would have spent searching for a good dupe. (p.s. My roomie went to Auburn too!)

Kyosuke – : P!

Sanna – <3

You are right S! Mesmerize is sooooooo eye-catching gorgeous, you almost get, uh, mesmerized by it!! And I also think it looks like the predomiant blue in Superman’s cape, so no, you’re not crazy! ;)

*Slow Clap*
I have been wearing Mesmerize for 2 days now and people keep asking me what color I’m wearing (I work retail so I see lots of people in a day). This is the most amazing Essie color. I have very fair skin and it looks really nice. If you can pull off cooler tone colors than this will look nice on you.
Thanks for keeping us updated on the collections, I would have passed by Essie and not picked up this little gem if it weren’t for you.

Eu AMO Essie! Todos os esmaltes ficaram lindos em você. Eu tenho uma dúvida e talvez você possa me ajudar. Você saberia em que coleção exatamente a Essie se tornou Big 3 free?
Você havia me perguntado em quanto ficava para enviar esmaltes para o Brasil…
Eu tenho comprado na Head2toe e uma quantidade de uns 6 esmaltes, tem ficado em 15 dólares o frete…
Beijinhos!
