Custom Painted Nissan 350Z x Essence Where Is the Party?

Alright, so this post is gonna be a mash up of two of my favorite things... cars and nail polish!!!!!

Check out the sick paint job on this 350Z...

This car was one of the rides at Autocon. It had the coolest paintjob out of all the cars there! I instantly wanted a nail polish this color, but then I remembered having a similar one--Essence Where Is the Party!
Where Is the Party has been sitting in my pile of untrieds since forever, but after seeing this Nissan, I felt the need to finally try it out!


This is one coat of Essence Where Is the Party layered over two coats of Zoya Midori.

Where Is the Party is a dupe of OPI Not Like the Movies, in addition to Wet n Wild Grey's Anatomy. It's a greyish purple and green duochrome, although the purple is mostly dominant. I wanted the green to be more apparent on my nails, which is why I layered this polish over a bright green color. The green shows up a lot better in the shade, because the purple completely takes over in sunlight (and at most angles!).

Where Is the Party is really opaque--I was actually worried that the green wouldn't make a difference. Since this is my first time trying out the polish, I'm not sure how it's supposed to look like without the green underneath. But judging from the pictures, I'd say that the layering did have some effect.

Even though it went on a bit streaky, Where Is the Party evened itself out after I applied a top coat. It's an excellent polish for only $0.99!

Oh, and on a side note, I think there's some crazy ESP going on between me and Jenni Lee of I Relish Nail Polish! Right after I took pictures of my current polish, I saw her post on pretty much the same color! If you haven't done so already, be sure to check out her swatch of Wet n Wild Grey's Anatomy (:

HILARIOUS! ESP! Love the car! I love your nails!!! I ring finger nail broke yesterday, so my nails look bad now. :( I really like essence nail polishes too, they are really hard to find. Sometimes they are at Ulta, but the display always is ransacked! Thanks for the link! You're awesome!

I would never have considered layering like this. It's GORGEOUS! And that car's paint job kills it! So much prettifulness...

Also, this look reminds me a bit of Nubar Indigo Illusion. It's a teal-to-purple duochrome that also looks green and pink in certain lights...
