NOTD: Essence - Choose Me!

Hi girlies! :)
Hope you had a great weekend! I had a pretty nice one! Sorry I've been slacking on posting this past two weeks! I have a ton of things to post, I've been a bit busy though and my computer and Photoshop have also been giving me problems. So I've had posts all ready to go, but it's just the photos that have been giving me trouble!

The polish I'm showing you today is Essence's Choose Me! And how could I NOT choose it?! ;) It's beautiful! I don't know how I feel about it on my skin tone but it's too pretty for me to care!

Essence's Choose Me is a dupe for about a million other polishes. Okay, only two that I know of. OPI's Catch Me In Your Net and Zoya's Charla. And it's a fraction of the price. You could buy like 10 bottles of this polish and it would be equivalent to only one bottle of OPI! Plus, I believe the OPI one was limited edition and is harder to find. Choose Me is a permanent colour in the Essence Colour and Go line so it's fairly easy to find! :)

This polish totally reminds me of a mermaid or something. It's sort of a blue jelly base with green and gold shimmers (or perhaps it's glass fleck? I'm not too good at determining the difference between shimmer and glass fleck... Help me out if you know)! It almost seems duochrome-y!

I'd recommend using a good base coat with this one. The first time I wore it, it stained on me a bit, but the second time it didn't! Weird, but yeah! Maybe double up on the base coat just to be safe. :) Anyway, it's so pretty I wouldn't have minded if it stained!

Sorry that my watermarks are inconsistent in the above photos. I'm still trying to figure out how I want the watermark to look!

Do you own this polish, or one of the many dupes? :)
