Essie's French Affair (Swatch & Comparisons)

The other polish  that I got from the Essie French Affair Collection (my post on Topless and Barefoot) is the polish it's named after, French Affair. This is your standard pink that I'm sure you've seen with OPI, Essie, and other companies as well. I love this shade but don't think it's a must have! It's not the most unique shade on the market haha

This polish applied pretty evenly, in two coats. For some reason the bottle and three nails showed up more purple but the pinky nail reflects how the color really is, sorry!

My Happy Nail Color: OPI Mod About You

New York City has been hit with a blizzard and I am enjoying being trapped at home!

I recently finished my semester and am recovering from finals, papers, and everything else related to an end of a college semester. I needed some kind of happiness, especially if I was going to be looking at my hands most of the time. In came one of my favorite nail polish colors: OPI's Mod About You.

Mod About You is a light pink with lilac undertones. It needs two coats. It's a gorgeous color, however the formula is thick and chips horribly (within 2 days horribly). However, I love the color that much that I deal with the formula. However, I have recently found a color very close to Mod About You that has a much better application!

Meet American Apparel's Coney Island. American Apparel polishes in general have a great formula, Coney Island is no exception. Coney Island is very similar to Mod About You but while Mod About You is a light pink, Coney Island is more of a barbie pink.

American Apparel's Coney Island is a gorgeous color with a great formula. It needed two coats and applies very smoothly.

If you love OPI Mod About You but hate the formula, I highly recommend American Apparel's Coney Island.

Will you be picking up Coney Island? What's your happy nail color?
