Essie: Too Too Hot

Summer's well and truly gone (5 weeks gone) but I needed another hit of bright colour before the warm days become too much of a distant memory.  I know I'll be gravitating towards darker, and more subdued colours soon enough so when I chose a red polish to wear this week I chose Essie's Too Too Hot.
 
Too Too Hot was released in Essie's 2011 Brazilliant Summer collection and Essie's website describes it as a "sizzling rich red coral".  Against my skin it leans more red than coral but it is the most vibrant summery red which is exactly what I was looking for.  This polish performed better than my previous Essie experience and applied smoothly with no dragging in two coats.

Until next time!

    1. Isn't it funny how polishes can be deceiving like that or sometimes change completely once they dry down on the nails! Regardless I loved wearing this!

  4. Juicy, juicy red! I've moved back into creams (finally!) and I wore Butter London Come to Bed Red last week...think I will put on another juicy shade this week.

  5. Such a classic beauty, I love this shade on you! I'm well into a nude nail phase right now and haven't worn a bright like this in a little while. Need to get a nice red gel polish for my at-home system I think!

    1. Nudes and neutrals are so classy too! I have one from Essie I need to break out soon - I think it's a shade I spotted amongst your recent Essie neutral acquisitions!
