I haven’t worn blue nail polish on my fingernails since my teenage years (which, OK, wasn’t that long ago), but when I saw Essie’s cobalt-blue “Mesmerize” in the lineup at Beauty Brands, I knew I had to have a little vintage varnish on my fingertips.
“Mesmerize” debuted in spring 2009 and has since become a staple, along with “Marshmallow” and “Ballet Slippers” in Essie’s nail polish collection. I added “Mesmerize” to my own growing-collection of nail lacquers over the weekend and have since gotten some oohs, ahhs and eyebrows at my choice of such a bold blue usually reserved for toenails (sorry, I have turquoise on those boys right now!).
What do you think of shiny, splashy, cobalt-blue for fingernails? Do you work in a more traditional or creative environment? Would this color be OK for your day-to-day? Let me know in the comments section!
