Good morning everyone! Third day of Blue Week? Yes please! Today I have Essence Blue Addicted, another polish I received in a swap with my darling friend Kati! She really spoiled me with this package she sent! I need to repay the favor when we swap again :)
Essence Blue Addicted is regarded as a dupe of Deborah Lippmann's Across the Universe. The base is a blue jelly, and the glitters include smaller blue square glitter and larger blue and green hex glitter. Now, I don't have the DL polish, but I do have
another dupe. Let me just say that Blue Addicted was TONS better to work with than Force of Love! I used a base of
Dr.'s Remedy Noble Navy for the base of this mani. One coat of Blue Addicted on top.

Again, I have to say how much I loved this surprise polish from Kati! This polish is just beautiful. I can't wait to wear it again! :)
**DISCLAIMER** I was not paid for this review by anyone. I either purchased these polishes myself or were given gifts as friends because I could not find the particular shade I wanted myself. I am not a professional nail tech, nor do I want to be. I'm just someone who enjoys polishing my own nails :)
