Addicted to Blue

This is one of those polishes that I'm not sure I would've picked up if people in the blogosphere weren't swooning over it. Apparently it is a dupe for a Deborah Lippman: Across the Universe. It was a jerk to apply, but maybe I just haven't gotten the hang of applying glitters evenly yet.

This is the much talked about Blue Addicted from Essence. After all the buzz surrounding it, I picked it as one of the polishes my BF bought me for Christmas. I only just used it for the first time last week!

This polish was incredibly hard to photograph. Indoors it just looked like a dark navy polish without anything fancy going on. Clearly, that is not the case.

Yes, this is a lovely color, but it was not enough for me, so it only stayed on for 1.5 days. I practiced some stamping over it, but the designs all came out horribly, so you won't be seeing pictures of those. lol.

Do you have Blue Addicted of Across the Universe? Am I just missing something here?
