Anyhoo, I've always been a person that coos over the perfectly manicured nails of others, especially of they didn't go to a salon. My hands suddenly become super shaky whenever I want to apply nail polish, sigh... The other day, I watched a Youtube video by Jenn Im, or clothesencounters, who I have been following for several years and have loved for just as long, showcasing her favourite polishes. One of them was For The Twill Of It by Essie, which totally blew my socks off. It's one of those iridescent ones that change depending on the angle you're looking at it from. There are purple, metallic silver and green hues. Basically, super awesome. It was also super problematic because I couldn't get it in Singapore! BURDENNNNNNN. So on my recent trip to Hawaii, I looked for and found it! YAY ME! -applause-

| told you I sucked at painting my nails... |
Since my nail painting and photo taking skills leave much to be desired, here are some photos from Google images to supplement the grainy mental image you now have of this polish.

Can you see the awesome mermaid-ness of this colour?? Though to be honest, I don't think the singular form is appropriate here... It applied pretty well and the lasting power was pretty average. I'm a kinda "rough" person, and seriously careless, but these lasted a pretty well over a week. When it started chipping it actually peeled off in medium sized pieces, though. I wore it for my cousin's wedding, because my dresses were all black and white. #monochrome, eh? I wanted something with a bit of edge, but more uplifting (?) than a plain black, so TADAAA~

For those who want to get it, there are online sources you can get it from, I believe. Essie polishes are generally quite reasonably priced, and for this colour?? JUST TAKE AND RUN.
Signing off with sunshine, sparkles and sakura petals on my nails,
Andrea (#OvO#)
