#Free #GiveAway @ESSIE Nail Polish & More!


          Finally a giveaway!!  As I try them out & work on my next post, I'll send you a gift bag if you're willing to participate ;)

      Came up on a bunch of Essie polish.  Tried on Aruba Blue last night & loved it instantly. It's bright enough to shine in the dark, but reflects light magnificently in the sun. It's bold enough to stand on it's own or contrast other vivid colors. For example, I'm wearing pink pants today (lol). Still, the blue is dark enough to mute itself if worn with darks/blacks. I like that it's a dark blue because it soothes the brightness a bit.I think it's the same thing pastels do --Check out Hani's post on Pastel Blues --  I get a little weary about bright polishes in the work place. I want to look "fun" but still professional. This is a fabulous workplace color yet surprising enough to catch someone's eye on a night out.

So... here's how to get the goods:
  

Calvin Klein "Vivian" Heel ($77-$140)



I wrote about these in my last post, "#WhatIWore - Holiday Party + Music Showcase 12.14.12"  but... have to copy/paste: The open-toed, stappy heel has an amazing shape & makes any foot look good. It's also a small platform with an amazing cushion so it's super comfortable.  Isn't that all I have to say? 

Oh... the damage: I got this at a trunk show so, super cheap for me... but this shoe will run you anywhere from $77 - $139 depending on the style and website. Unfortunately, these aren't on Calvin's site. The Vivian comes in a mess of different colors, patterns and textures. Browse below :)
