Nail of the Day 10/03/11: Essie Angora Cardi

This is the first time I have actually worn Angora Cardi outside of a test swatch. I purchased it at Ulta back in spring and decided to save the little guy (or girl, I guess?) until fall.

Angora Cardi is a rich, deep mauve color from Essie’s Fall 2009 collection. It’s not quite mauve, but it’s not quite a wine color either, making it unique in a very subtle way. In terms of application, this is one of the best polishes I have ever used. Sometimes painting my nails can be a bit of a chore when a laquer is runny or streaky, but Angora Cardi glides on like a dream. I probably could’ve gotten away with one coat, but I have this weird habit of ALWAYS applying two - just ‘cause.
