Fried Pickles and a POP of Color (Essie Review)
I experienced one of the great wonders of the world last night: (this is probably going to show my lack of worldliness…haha!) FRIED PICKLES! I had never heard of these before or tried them but Hubby said they would be good.
Of course they came from a generic restaurant, Texas Road House…but still delicious! Perfect bit of fried goodness and saltiness. If you get a chance, try them!
Okay, on to my nail polish review. I was reading Malisa’s blog the other day, Alex and Malisa and was inspired to go bold with my nail polish! I had been meaning to try something new and stumbled upon the brand Essie at the drugstore. I had seen it before but hadn’t thought much about it since I had thought it was a cheap drug store brand…I WAS WRONG! After coughing up $8 bucks a bottle (which now I have no regrets about) I went home and got my nails ready to paint. Take a look:

This color is called Turquoise and Caicos. How fun! Plus it’s gender neutral and I’m wearing it to the ultrasound tomorrow, apparently I’m an ubber dork too! I would say the color has a stronger hint of green to it…kind of like island water. Now overall, the nail polish is great! It dries with a really shiny coat so I didn’t even need a top coat. Also, it has staying power! I actually put the nail polish on my nails on Friday and it’s Sunday with no chips or cracks! It did take 3 coats but it was super easy to put on, and to me looks pretty darn professional and normally my nails don’t look that good when I’m done painting them. Maybe I was super patient while painting them that day? Haha!
I love Essie and will continue to buy it now. They have lots of great colors and I can’t wait to try them! Go buy some!
I love Essie colors! Chinchilly is a great fall/wnter color! Check it out!
I'll have to look for it next time I'm at CVS. Thanks for the suggestion. 😉 I'm just so impressed with Essie…it's even better than the more expensive polishes at Sephora/Ulta!
I've never tried Essie. That's a very pretty color though! Ps, those fried pickles look amazing. I looove pickles but my husband doesn't. I'll have to try next time we're at Texas Roadhouse. =)
OMG I have been hard core craving deep fried pickles! LOL!! Not even sure why because I have never had them, but this post is making me want to drive in my car right now to get some! Yup I'm turning into that crazy pregnant lady! LOL! 🙂
I looove that color on you! So cute!
@Kimmy – Haha! They are sooo not healthy but they are soooo good! Even better dipped in ranch dressing! 😉
