day two hundred and twenty three, essie wicked

eep. two essies in two days!? what is this world coming to!? i usually try to space 'em out but i feel i've been neglecting essie so i put two different ones on back to back. this is another 'essie to end all essie' polishes, called wicked. i could not tell you about the history of vamps but suffice to say...every brand has their signature vamp and essie's is called wicked. it's actually one of the vamps i like better, it just seems more dark burgundy and deep and hugs the border of almost black but never quite crosses it. so finally, a vamp that isn't black! making it a-okay in my book. it's very shiny...i wonder why most vamps are jelly? i guess because they just look better than cremes? who can say! i will say my one thing that bugs me when i put on vamps (and i'm sure it's just my bad skills) is that the base of my nails seems to hold the lighter colour and not darken as much. but i only notice it if i stare at my fingers (and i was staring at these pictures to make sure they would look nice!)
