I bought two polishes from the new Autumn/Fall Essie collection. Sew Psyched and Merino Cool. Merino Cool was a bit of a no-brainer for my dusty mauve/grey loving fingers… but Sew Psyched took a little leap of faith.
I was hoping that the grey tones in this would soften the green to something special.
And they do!
A two coater with a sprinkling of silver shimmer. The shimmer is barely noticeable… but does lift the colour a little in direct sunlight. I personally don’t think it benefits much from it’s inclusion and quite like my dusty colours to look flat anyway.
No problems with application and normal wear time make this a hit for me.
In UK mainstream outlets, Essie Sew Psyched is priced at around £8.50 and available online from BeautyBay
Absolutely beautiful! I love greens like this. Unfortunately as Essie is an animal testing line I’m going to have to hunt down a dupe because it is lovely. Thanks for the post!

Didn’t know Essie tested on animals. Well that’s the end of my love affair with the line. Sad. Lovely Charlotte – would you do a post at some point featuring all the brands (or major ones) that do test on animals, and those that don’t? I know there’s been some confusion over L’Oreal – I think they test ingredients on animals but not the finished products? – but I have no idea where to go to get this kind of information, and would love to know.
Sew Psyched is a great colour though – looks like Khaki Vert a bit x

L’Oreal owns Essie. It’s sort of difficult to find which brands test and don’t, honestly I’ve spent a ton of time e-mailing companies and researching, thats the only reason I know. It’s very confusing. Here though are a couple websites that I use if you’re interested:
http://www.mymakeupmirror.com
http://www.astrostar.com/DO-NOT-Test.htm
or my blog only features non-animal testing brands

(though my pictures are no where as beautiful as this blogs! I truly love lipglossiping!)

Yukky greens are an obsession of mine. So why don’t I have any? Conundrum. This is fab.

That is a very lovely colour, sort of slreeen or grilver? I like it very much, the arty side of my would say eau de nil maybe. Thanks for the pics Jan

Sorry folks but I just don’t get all the sludgey colours that are around at the moment. It’s an awful colour.
Before you denounce me for trolling let me add that I enjoy reading this site and love the Beehive lipstick that I bought because of an earlier post.

Oh, PRETTY! I love nail polish, but somehow greens aren’t usually my thing. This one looks very beautiful, though – too bad I can’t spend any more money on polish this month or I’ll starve. Which would be bad. Right? Right.
PS: Your blog is wonderful!

How do you get your nails to stay so long and strong? They look amazing!

I’m really lucky to have such naturally strong nails, I don’t do anything to maintain them other than rub a bit of LUSH Cuticle Cream or Lanolips into the cuticles a couple of times a week. I think it’s genetic! x
