It's another nail polish day and I am so happy to see the weekend... while having a wee-un means that my weekends are busy busy busy, it is nice to be able to relax with a cup of coffee in the morning and watch my favourite nail polish gals talk all about one of my fav things!!
This week, our number was 82 (if you don't have 82 polishes, you can use 8 + 2 = 10... not going to go lower than that because, as I have said before... you don't have double digits in untrieds, you NEED to go shopping!)
Number 82 on my list actually changed this week... I was so excited to finally wear a Sephora by OPI polish from the Cinderella collection but by the time I was ready to do the polish, the number had changed and I ended up with Essie's Bikini So Teeny! (I may or may not have added over 40 polishes to my collection since we started this challenge... it used to be 199 untrieds and now it's closer to 238)
Bikini So Teeny is one of those cult classic polishes that was a staple in any nail polish collectors summer waredrobe last year. I was finally able to get my hands on it over the winter and because of the nature of the polish, I opted to save it for the warmer weather. While it is a gorgeous summery shade, I am very sad that I didn't opt to wear this over the Christmas holidays because I really think that with a flakie top coat, it would have been an awesome wintery manicure!The blue of this polish is a universally flattering shade and while the formula is a little streaky (as most pastels are) I was able to get a nice opaque polish with two coats (some nails required three) and I really did love the look.
Have you tried Essie's Bikini So Teeny? What are your favourite pastel colours?

Until next week, happy painting!!
Bikini so teeny - sometimes it makes me think that only by the name we are bound to like the nail polish. It looks great on your nails and in these photos it looks just as much a winter color as a summer color. As you said, it would have been cute for Christmas too!
ReplyDeleteI like it, Linds! It's really clean and I think is both an elegant, yet modern look, too. Great colour! I think it's the only "teeny bikini" I'll be wearing! LOL
