Secret Shimmer

January 26th, 2012 by Karen 8 Comments


At first glance Essie’s To Buy or Not To Buy looks like a cream ($8, one of six shades in the new spring 2012 Navigate Her collection), but if you look closely you can see tiny bits of glitter. Love that secret shimmer!

    I love this color, I have it on my nails right now! I almost didn’t order it but I noticed the secret shimmer and I’m glad I brought it home. The color is very pretty on, though the shimmer is a little less evident when the polish is on. Your photo makes me love it more!

    Oooo cute! I wonder how it translates onto nails. Definitely has a lot of potential!

    I’m not much of a shimmer girl, but if it’s as subtle as you (and Sarah) say, it might be worth a try.

    Hmmm…I’m not quite sold. I think I’d need to see it on. 😛

    Pretty! I call them hidden shimmer, but secret shimmer sounds way cuter!
