Je ne sais quoi

Some polishes just have IT, you know that little bit of something special.

Here is one I adore:

Great googly moogly!

Isn't she a bute!

Essie - Urban Express

*sigh*








I'd like to thank a Long Island dusty for this one.  Yes, they have more to offer than interesting accents and duck feet nail tips.




I have another Essie that is also very pretty like this ... well not quite.

Essie - Moda Scoota

HOT.  Espeially in the evening under dark lighting.






This is during the day time.








I'd like to thank my Grandma for "leaving" this one at my house. ;)














A comparison of the two.

Even more comparisons!

Roxy seems to have a bit of copper shimmer herself, very pretty!








The comparisons don't end there ...

There is another Essie that I want to compare Urban Express to ... Wrapped in Rubies.

hhmmm

Anyone own Essie - Wrapped in Rubies?  How do you think it would compare?

    That copper shimmer almost makes Urban Express a duochrome! Either way...all of those colors are so pretty.

    Urban Express is a stunner (can I say that about a polish?)! BTW the polishes are so shiny, did you use top coat?

    Gorgeous hands & nails! Those shades are HAWT. Clearly, you've inherited your Grandma's excellent taste.... I can thank you enough for your nail fix series. I found your blog thru tPF a week ago & devoured your archives. My hands and nails already look so much better & I'm gaining a lot more confidence. those ingredient lists aren't so scary anymore!!

    You and your vampy wine/reds! They certainly look stunning on you! Now that I've seen these, I think I need to find me a bottle of CG Roxy, I love me some gold/copper shimmer!!

    I can't decide which is prettier to me Urban Express or Roxy, one has beautiful base color and other amazing shimmer

    Wrapped in Rubies has that same gold shimmer, but I think its just a bit darker. I love those shades.
