Essie Sew Psyched nail polish photos & swatches

This color is so hot for fall. I didn't know if I'd like it or not, since it's kinda 'blah' but it's definitely growing on me.
Oddly, in the bottle it looks almost shimmery, but when applied it's somewhere between a cream and a suede. I used seche vite on top, so it added a bit of glossiness.
In outdoor light it looks very grey with a hint of khaki. And indoor, it looks more like an army green color. Tres cool! Oh I almost forgot to mention, I haven't seen a color like this, ever. I mean I'm sure there are similar ones out there, but a dupe? I don't think so. Good luck frankening!

I know my cuticles look really raggedy, that's what happens when you have OCD and you need to wash your hands all day. No cuticle oil can save the dryness : (

Ok so I admit I am slightly obsessed with grey nail polish... I am always on the hunt for a good one that doesn't look purple or blue tinted on me, but really corpsey grey. well this is it!
Only 2 coats and it's nice and opaque. This is my first Essie polish believe it or not, I just find most of their colors boring.
It's from 'the resort' LE collection spring 2010

Update: this looked so horrible on me I had to take it off. My hands looked dead. I need to find a nice grey that won't look so off with my pale skin.
