Essie Resort Collection Swatches & Review

Essie Resort Essie Resort Collection Swatches & Review

Essie Resort is a new 4 piece collection created so that you could “discover your inner Hollywood starlet.”

Essie Weingarten wanted to inspire women to bring out their inner glamour and get you to come out and play with these fun shades. This collection was inspired by Audrey Hepburn, Elizabeth Taylor and Grace Kelly.

The formula, as with the vast majority of Essie polishes, was spot on. Not too thick or thin. Not too sheer, and all perfect in 2-3 coats.

Three Green Essie Shades You Need in Your Life

Essie Green Polishes Three Green Essie Shades You Need in Your Life

It’s been awhile since I bought any new Essie polishes, and BOY did I miss out on some great colors!

These might not all be super new shades, but they are all great greens that I am really pleased to add into my collection. I think green fanatics will want them all, if you don’t already own them.

Essie Summer Collection for 2010 Swatches & Review

Um yeah, I am way late to the party on this collection, but am showing it anyway. icon smile Essie Summer Collection for 2010 Swatches & Review

Essie’s new summer collection is made up of 6 new colors, and something you don’t really ever see from them…a GREEN polish! Now I know this is kind of mind blowing because we are so used to the fairly tame pinks, red and oranges with an occasional blue or dark vampy color tossed in. But I can’t remember a green from them ever, at least not in my nail polish collecting lifetime.

The formula on these was really quite good. Most were just two coats and I had no issues to speak of.

Essie Miss Matched Essie Summer Collection for 2010 Swatches & Review
Miss Matched

Miss Matched is a very pale ballerina pink. This is on the sheer side, but did even out pretty decently after three coats. It’s super shiny! I went into applying this thinking “boring”, but I totally changed my mind after the three coats. I really like it on me! I mean I don’t know when I would ever wear it, but if ever I am in a very conservative mood or want something nude & shiny I would totally wear this.
