... and for my very first post, I have a very special polish that, to my knowledge, is technically not even out yet... but I happened upon it at an end cap shelf at Target in the spot where Essie "Stylenomics" apparently went... It's Essie "Mind Your Mittens"!!!
There was some conjecture about this polish on blogs where people receive pre-release press samples. Apparently this dark greenish teal (I'd say it's a lighter version of "Stylenomics," but it's also slightly blue, reminding me a little of "Bobbing for Baubles" in the bottle) had some confusion with the name. Press samples labeled this color "Parka Perfect" while a light minty shade with shimmer was labeled "Mind Your Mittens."
But, from this bottle, it is clear that the name "Mind Your Mittens" has gone to this dark teal-blue. When I saw it at Target, I had that feeling of surprise and excitement since I've been scouting stores for the new Essie winter polishes that I heard were to be released this month.
However, I am actually disappointed that the name didn't go to the light minty shade, as I personally prefer lighter shades. I will probably pick up what will likely be "Parka Perfect" when all the shades officially hit stores.
Until then, this was a nice surprise, both to randomly find at Target, and to put on my nails. Like I said, I don't really like these blackish-looking polishes, but this was a really great formula to work with, just 1 coat offers opaque coverage, though 2 would probably be recommended for a truly perfect look. It looks more dark blue on the nail to me, but the teal is still recognizable as well.
So, I hope you enjoyed my first post, and that if you pick this one up for winter, that you enjoy it, too.
