Today I have a lovely polish from Essie. This is part of their Winter 2011 collection. A beautiful, dirty slightly purple toned grey creme polish. This baby is edgy yet so ladylike. It is a shifter and a beguiler. Depending on what light I viewed this polish it was grey or dusty purple. Cocktail Bling looks grey in my photographs, even tones a little blue. I really enjoyed wearing this beauty. And I enjoyed it even more topped with Orly Twilight, a beautiful topper comprised of a barely purple toned clear jelly swimming with silvery microflakies that, in the sun flash and shift blue and pink and silver.

Essie Cocktail Bling and Orly Twilight
And both in the sunshine. Yummmm... Shimmah! Shimmah!
Do you own either of these polishes? Think that you might? They are both loverly and, if you like grey and dusty purple and microflakies and shimmer, you might really enjoy these.
Thank you for coming by. Have a great day and may your polish never bubble.
Essie Cocktail Bling was purchased with a gift card provided by Apothica/Skincare Rx in exchange for hosting their link and logo.
lovely combination!
ReplyDeleteThe layering is gorgeous! I only own Orly Twilight, but not the essie color. I wonder if I have anything close to the essie color now...
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! I like the sparkles over grey, very different
ReplyDeleteI have seen that Essie color and passed it up, but now I think I need to go find it! And that combo is gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteThis looks amazing! I love the combo of these two together.
ReplyDeleteI have Cocktail Bling and have been meaning to wear it :) though after a solid 6 days wearing Zoya Caitlin I've been seeking brights! Twilight looks lovely, I have had that on my wishlist but never picked it up.
ReplyDeleteI must have the orly twilight!
ReplyDeleteI agree. :D
ReplyDeleteCocktail Bling is a beauty. I am also wanting brighter, lighter polish. I am so ready for Spring.
ReplyDeleteThank you. :)
ReplyDeleteWhy thank you. :) I think that you should go get it. You'll love it.
ReplyDeleteThank you. :)
ReplyDeleteI think that any light grey or soft greyed purple would give a very similar look. :D
ReplyDeleteThank you! :)
ReplyDeleteooooo baby oooo baby! i have Twilight, i'm feeling the need to run find Cocktail Bling! i'm going to check my stash for a similar color... i think shimmers make just about every mani so much better!
ReplyDeleteI like this a lot, so subtle and pretty! ^.^
ReplyDeleteBeautiful layering! And that last bottle shot of Twilight looks almost magical! *_* I might just need it even if I just admire it in the bottle occasionally! lol!
