There's a lot of Sticks & Stones in Caicos

HAAAAPPY FRIDAAAYYYY!!

When you read this I'll probably be at my university trying to get the courses I need to graduate in December. That's right! Not only was I accepted back into school in my same program, I just need 4 classes and I'm out! Only to decide what I want to do for my masters degree, but that's later. Let's enjoy this while we can.

Continuing with Month(s) of Untrieds, I have for you today Essie Turquoise and Caicos and Sticks 'N Stones. I'm sure I have around 28 different turquoises but I had always wanted Essie's T&C, something about having one of the originals, y'know? I also wanted the slight squishyness of T&C and I love Essie's brush. Fun fact about this polish: it seemed to always be sold out at my Walgreens and just once did I spot a lone bottle. I grabbed it, then set it down next to me while I examined a new polish display. When I looked back, it was gone! So rude.




I'm actually wearing this as I type and I tweeted/instagrammed how happy it makes me when I look down. I had wanted Sticks 'N Stones for so long, finally in the last restock I bit the bullet and got it (along with a-England St. George which you already saw). I'm sure everyone and their mother has already seen it, along with the 945 indie versions but, again, something about having the original. Of course, this isn't the real 'original', but I won't be buying that version any time soon.

Sticks 'N Stones is actually still available at Ninja Polish as I type, so you still have a chance if you want it! Essie Turquoise and Caicos is part of the core collection but (at least for me) it was harder to find in stores.

Have a great weekend and keep your fingers crossed I can get all my classes!

OH, also, if anyone's interested, a bunch of bloggers are doing the famous 31 Day Challenge, starting Monday Aug. 20. We'll be posting every 3 days instead of daily so it won't be too difficult to keep up. For full deets and signing up, you can check Kimber's Lacquer Korner.

  1. LOLS I just used turquoise & caicos in my current mani and I was asking my gf how to pronounce caicos !

    I think when I got my bottle, it was also the only one left, I got mine at Kmart.

    1. Great minds must really think alike! I got mine at Kmart too, maybe they have some kind of contract? :P

    1. And it's really good to work with too, no having to dab glitter on and it's not too thick. Worth the money for me.

  4. Love the pairing! I've done a similar one before, but I used Essie's Mint Candy Apple! I really like T&C! I think I might have to pick that one up!

    1. I've always wanted Mint Candy Apple too! I can never find it though, the only time I've had it in my hands was at a Ricky's in NYC and it was like $11 for some reason, so I left it :(
