\"shot<\/p>\n

Today I have again an oldie for you, Essie- Smokin’ hot. This Essie was released for Winter 2010, way before I even was into nail polish. I found this one in the discount section of a local drugtstore. I believe however that this one is still in Essie’s permanent collection, so it should still be easy to find (Check it out here<\/a> on Amazon for example, affiliate link).<\/p>\n

Essie Smokin’ hot is what I would call a greyed out purple. I really love the color! It kind of looks like a normal neutral grey polish, but because of the purple it has something special. I love dark colors so I was immediately in love. Although being dark, the color never looks black. I found this shade edgy but very wearable at the same time. Still when I look at these pictures I want to directly apply it again.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The formula however was not that great. I’ve heard that “old” Essie shades have a very thin formula, and this one definitely has! It definitely needed three coats to get the color of the bottle, which I found very strange for such a dark color. The formula was also really runny and it got into my sidewalls despite me being super careful. I guess this will solve itself when the polish becomes thicker.<\/p>\n

Despite of the formula, I really love the color. I’ve looked through my stash and I couldn’t find any dupes for Smokin’ hot. One polish that I immediately thought of was Essie Kimono over (check it out here<\/a> on Amazon, affiliate link), however this one is definitely not as grey as Smokin’ hot.<\/p>\n

EDIT May 2020: There is also a “remixed” version of this shade available now in a special limited edition called below zero, for swatches see the instagram post below, and to read more about this collection click here<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n
