Twinsie Tuesday: Sally Hansen Frutti Petutie

It's time for another installment of Twinsie Tuesday! This week's theme is your go-to polish. I debated between Sally Hansen Frutti Petutie and Essie Splash of Grenadine but ultimately went with my Sally Hansen. As much as I love greens, blues, glitters, duochromes and all those other crazy fun finishes and colors, I always reach for pinks and corals when I can't decide on a polish or need something that will be appropriate no matter where I'm going.

Frutti Petutie is a bright, red-leaning coral. I adore this polish. It's feminine and fun--not quite neon but in the same neighborhood. I originally bought this several years ago because I was trying to squash a major lemming for OPI Cajun Shrimp, which oddly enough (considering that it's core), I couldn't find anywhere. It's not a dupe for Cajun Shrimp but is kinda similar.

If you can believe it, I once wore Frutti Petutie--literally the only polish I wore during this time--for two months. I was on study abroad in Russia and brought a couple bottles of polish with me, as well as some remover. Well unfortunately my remover leaked all over my suitcase during my flight and rather than bother hunting down a new container (it was one of the ones with the sponge inside so I wouldn't have to waste luggage space on cotton balls as well), I simply wore the polish I already had on, Frutti Petutie, for the entire trip. I'd simply paint over the existing coats when I got bad chipping or regrowth. As dorky as it sounds, I associate this polish with a lot of really awesome memories so I'm kind of sentimental about this particular color.

You'd think wearing it non-stop would make me never want to touch this polish ever again but I still reach for it quite regularly. I can say with confidence too that the wear on this polish is supreme. I could wear it for many days without chips--usually I'd just put a fresh coat of polish on because of regrowth rather than there being something wrong with the polish itself. It applies smoothly and is opaque in two coats, which is what I used for this mani.

What's your go-to polish? Is there a particular shade that always brings back specific memories for you? I can't wait to see what all of the other Twinsie Tuesday girls chose today!
