School of Hard Rocks was part of their Cocktail Bling collection for Winter 2011. I have seen it spotted at Walgreens but I think you should be able to find them wherever Essie is sold. It was the only color that I really felt that I needed to get. I'm debating if I should get Cocktail Bling.
Anyways, Essie describe this as a midnight malachite. If I have not seen the picture and someone just told me that, I would have been like WTH is that, lol. I stick to simple descriptions so to me this is a muted teal color with a cream finish. And that is what makes it interesting. I have not seen a color like this out there but if you know of any dupe for it, feel free to share.
Essie describes Over The Knee as a shimmery cocoa brown. For some reason, when someone say cocoa, I think of a much darker color. It's a beautiful earthtone color. I say this is a medium brown, slightly mauvy, with very fine pink and gold shimmers. The shimmers are so fine that they are barely noticeable when they are on the nail. I believe this is just part of their regular line so you should be able to get it any time you want.
The application and formula for both of these were a breeze. Two coats and you are good to go.
Which is your favorite Essie polish?
Love them!
