Essie Just Stitched

This is one of the shades I was most looking forward to from Essie's Cashmere Matte Collection. Just Stitched is a baby pink satin with iridescent blue shimmer. Comfy In Cashmere looked kinda blah with my skintone, but this? This I like! It's so clean and pretty. I feel like a ballerina when I wear it. :)




I expected the formula on this to be a bit problematic--you know how temperamental pastel pinks can be--but it was surprisingly nice. It was noticeably smoother than Comfy In Cashmere and much easier to apply. I used three coats here. Weartime was respectable too, especially when you take into account that I didn't apply topcoat. I wore this for three days until I got a big ol' chip on my right index finger, but prior to that, I didn't even have any real tipwear!

Just Stitched has got to be one of my favorite Essie polishes in a while. Yep, file this one under "instant classic" cuz it is all kinds of gorgeous! I love the color and the satin finish together; really puts a contemporary spin on pastel pink polish. It looks like pink porcelain--so smooth with a soft glow to it. The lighter base color also allows the shimmer to come through, even without topcoat. I honestly didn't have the heart to try this one with topcoat. I think the satin finish is a big part of what makes Just Stitched so interesting!
