I'm pleasantly surprised - with Essie, that is

Yes, I really love Winter-08 collection so far. You've seen Sexy Divide already, and today I have pictures of another purple-ish polish - Damsel in a Dress. I have to say, application was great, it's completely opaque in two coats; I've been wearing it for three days now, typing a lot, and have just a minimal tip wear. I cannot believe I'm about to write this, yet - Way to go, Essie! Keep up the good job! /chocking on words, coughing/

True color is more raisin-brownish, with a hint of gray/silver:


And this is how Damsel in a Dress looks most of the time in a natural light:
