Carry On was part of the Essie Fall 2011 Collection and was the namesake of the collection. The collection was inspired by bags. I might just own all the colours except for one of them. This was when I was first getting into collecting polishes, or if not collecting on purpose, I started to buy a variety of colours. Before I would stick to a few. Even though I bought it in 2011, I never wore this colour before. I only started to wear vampy colours this year. I feel like I've been missing out, but I'm glad I have this in my stash.
Thoughts
The polish is a creme and it was very easy to apply. It was not streaky on the first coat, which can happen with Essie polishes. Also, I noticed that it dried with a nice shiny finish. The colour is between a rich burgundy or a deep raisin. I kept thinking it was a wine colour. In dim lighting it looks black. My favourite thing about this polish is that it dried evenly. My other experiences with the darker reds, I ended up with some batches, and this wasn't the case here.

I bought Carry On two years ago. I must have bought it at Shoppers Drug Mart and probably for $9.99. Carry On is still available at nailpolishcanada.com.
