iNOTD: Essie Merino Cool... except not (because I misremembered)

Edited (6:07pm): thanks to the sharp eyed readers who pointed out my error!! :)

In Napa, at a wine tasting; realized I didn't schedule a post to go up today while away from home!

So here is an iNOTD to tide you all over... Me grasping a wine glass. ;)

Essie Merino CoolSmokin' Hot





I love this polish even if it's more of a fall color. Dusty dark purple (or purple-leaning dark grey). This mani has been great for me so far: 2 coats for perfect coverage. And this is Day 3. There's a bit of tipwear and minor scuffing but otherwise looking great. I'm thinking of putting on ChG Crushed Candy crackle over it when I get home. And, you know, post a real update.

    I think it looks like Smoking Hot, not Merino Cool. Was there a mix-up of some kind? I have both of them and think they're great!

    Love the photo! You'll have to tell us your favorite wine from the tasting! Annnnd, I'm dying to start voting for Inque nails (mostly because I want to buy some)!

    I have to agree with Elena, I have merino cool and mine is more of a lighter purple..this color looks amazing though, love dark muted colors like that!

    Hope you're having fun in Napa. It's probably the best weather we'll see for a few days, though it's clouding up over here.

    I know this may be kind of random but I really like the shape of your nails. ^_^ The colour looks great on you btw.

    You are hilarious! Was it the vino that made you misremember?

    I love both Merino Cool and Smokin Hot. I think Smokin Hot is a little bit lighter in comparison with Merino Cool? Either way, both are beautiful and chic colors.
