A Nice Basic Taupe: Ulta Smoke and Mirrors

Vivs and I went to Ulta over break (of course), and I picked up a few new polishes (of course). Among them was Ulta Professional Smoke and Mirrors, a cool-toned taupe creme. I'm not quite sure what's different about their "Professional" line versus the regular line with the cylindrical bottles, but it was equally on sale for 2 for $4. Smoke and Mirrors was smooth and problem-free and went on opaque in two coats. The coolness doesn't clash with my yellow skin tone, surprisingly. In fact, in some lights the polish looks like a washed out light purple. Me gusta. Read more after the jump.
