My 15 Week Challenge.....Part One, Week Two

 I finished Week one's challenges! Yay! This is part one of week two, Orange. I don't have many oranges...I don't like the color. When Essie was doing that giveaway for their Summer 2011 collection, which included: Brazilliant, Too Too Hot, Super Bossa Nova, Absolutely Shore, Meet me at Sunset, Smooth Sailing - on Facebook, I entered and won a bottle, they said it was Brazilliant. I was kinda bummed, but hey its a free bottle of nail polish, AND my First Essie polish! When it arrived, it turned out not to be Brazilliant, but instead it was Meet Me at Sunset. I swatched it really quick on one nail and wasn't really impressed and stuck it in the back of my drawer, kind of forgetting about it.

Well I decided I decided I would use it for this challenge! This is my first Essie polish and I don't know how it compares to other Essie's but it went on very smoothly, a little on the thin side, but it was an easy application. I used three thin coats, and it my nail line is still slightly visible...to me its almost a jelly polish....I found a blog once that explained all the many types of polishes, like jelly, creme, shimmer, ect.....if any one knows what I am talking about please link it in the comments- I would love to read about that again! 

I didn't expect to like it this much, I was originally planning on doing this as a base and using a crackle over it, to hide most of it....but I actually really really like it. It is so glossy looking. Its a reddish burnt orange color. Top coat of Seche Vite. What do you all think of this? If you click on the pictures they are better quality, I'm not sure how to get that to come through on the blog? any tips on how you upload your pictures?

I take a picture, I use corel paint shop(this was on my computer when I bought it) to crop it, and add my watermark-when I don't forget, and then upload using the blogger upload tool, and then usually make them X-large in the blog post, but this time I am only using the large setting.
