Continuing The Aquatic Theme

Essie Dive Bar.

If you don't own it, and you love inky blue/green/black shimmery colors, then you are missing out.  Go to your local wherever and get yourself a bottle.  Ever since I bought this polish, I have loved it.  I want to fall into it's super shiny depths and find things to layer it over, and let it layer over, because it is that gorgeous.  Again, never knew I was a vamp until I delved into the polish obsession.

Essie Dive Bar with sponged Zoya Mimi
Mimi looks way more hot pink here, but it's purple.  I promise.

You can see the progression of dark blue/black to emerald

AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH IT'S AMAZING I LOVE IT SO MUCH

Dive Bar is almost kind of heinous to apply, as much as I love it.  It's crazy dark, though it doesn't stain, and the first coat is almost like Layla Holo polishes, it's so streaky and draggy.  The second coat takes care of most of the mistake of the first, but be careful because this thing is attracted to your cuticles.  It's got a lot of depth because of the color facets and shimmer, and is perfection on it's own.  I've just worn it enough that I wanted to see something on top.  (giggity)

Mimi is flawless purple perfection.  I'm still working on my sponging technique, because I would have preferred one of those soft upward trails of glittery goodness, and instead got a half nail of purple that's kind of see-through.  But that's okay!  I still love it.
