33. Marlo said, on January 15th, 2009:

Mesmerize, status symbol, and eternal optimism have definitely caught my eye. I love the Essie formula too, not too thick and horrible when I make painting mistakes, which is often.
34. Faye said, on January 15th, 2009:

Oh my goodness! I am sooo excited about this giveaway. I gave myself a firm talking-to and started a no-buy, but then I read about this collection on another blog and was tempted. I’ve been trying to stay firm and stick to my guns and if I won I could do that without cheating!

But no pressure .
35. jessica said, on January 15th, 2009:

I HAVE to get status symbol, and maybe flawless. how many coats did you apply of flawless? I thought it might be too sheer, but it looks great on!
38. cady said, on January 15th, 2009:

44. Stephie said, on January 15th, 2009:

Ha. Mesmerize does seem like a random touch to this collection. I’ve been curious about Essie for a while. Being a nail polish novice, I hear their long application brush makes it much easier. I really like Status Symbol, it’s one of those pinks that make you feel like your have happy fingers. I will have to hunt it down to add to my very small collection.
45. ParisB said, on January 15th, 2009:

oh my! smurfy blue!

65. lesley said, on January 15th, 2009:

I think Flawless is just the perfect shade of bubblegum pink. So cute for Spring. And I totally agree with you about that blue feeling patriotic – put that on the tootsies, some white sandals and Laquered Up on your nails and it would be a fab 4th!

I was just painting my toenails but didn’t have any colors so just went with boring black. Thanks for holding this giveaway!

I love status symbol, flawless and eternal optimist. I’ll check these out at Ulta! Thanks for all the blogs! I’m always updated with the current beauty trends in the market!
193. Michelle said, on January 17th, 2009:

i have to be honest i just found your blog three days ago and i couldn’t be happier!! I recently (meaning the past two months) got into makeup and polish and have discovered so many websites about it for beginners and addicts, and this by far has to be one of the best…. i love this collection. Being a huge fan of blues lately, Mesmerize definitely caught my eye. And Eternal Optimist, to me, looks like a must have neutral.
194. LIsa said, on January 17th, 2009:

I love all the new Essie Colors, but my favorite is definately Status Symbol! Can’t wait to try it. It has me yearning for spring already!
Your blog is great. Thanks for taking the time to share all the beauty info. It helps me get my “make-up and beauty” fix for the day! lol
195. Christina said, on January 18th, 2009:

I totally fail at nail polishing but…these are so pretty!
196. Rachel H. said, on January 18th, 2009:

Mesmerizing is so… mesmerizing. i love creme blues and the other shades look gorgeous as wel!
197. Steph K said, on January 19th, 2009:

I LOVE nailpolish and those colors look amazing@
198. Farah said, on March 26th, 2009:

Eternal Optimist is my new favorite! I use it all the time when I get manicures. I haven’t used Flawless yet, but once the weather gets a bit warmer I will definitely be trying it out. I wish I could try Status Symbol but it’s a bit too bright for my corporate job =(
