Essie Cashmere Mattes-- Spun In Luxe

  I've not been overly excited about nail polish lately, and have found myself settling happily and comfortably into a rotation of neutrals, reds, berries, and greys.  One of the reasons Essie's Cashmere Matte collection caught my eye is because they are classic, sophisticated colors in a fun and edgy finish.  I'll admit that I initially had four of the set of six pegged as must-haves but when it came down to it, I chose the colors I knew I'd actually wear.  This one is Spun In Luxe.

  Spun In Luxe is a black matte packed with midnight blue shimmer, highly visible in the bottle and subtle on the nail.  It's just kind of cool and despite its unforgiving nature (nail flaws are amplified with matte/satin finishes) and finicky formula (two coats, applied swiftly and carefully, will make this polish opaque and best give a level appearance), it's one that I've been reaching for lately.  I'll be honest-- the Zoya Matte Velvets are superior in just about every way, but deep blue and black together is just so geniusly rule breaking that I dare any of my fellow black polish lovers to resist Spun In Luxe.  Best worn over a ridge filling basecoat.  I use OPI Ridge Filler.

  The Cashmere Mattes seem to be slowly trickling their way into brick and mortar stores.  I found mine at my local Ulta.  Check essie.com for prices and online availability.
