Please excuse the ocean photo - what can I say? I have a beach hangover. For my whirlwind trip to Palm Beach, I chose a polish shade that I felt had one foot in winter and one in spring. Ester Lauder's Wicked Green is a true green, similar to the color of an evergreen or the stem of a rose.

Ester Lauder's Pure Color polishes are pretty special. They utilize a true color technology that allows the color reflected in the bottle to be the color that is applied. Plus, Wicked Green has a special place in my heart, as it was developed by Tom Pecheux, Estee Lauder's Creative Makeup Artist (and a super talented artist, too). The color is a pure cream that starts a little sheer, but builds up to the full opacity in the photo within 2 coats.
