Happy Tuesday and welcome to the essie summer 2019 collection!

This limited edition collection features six new cremes for summer. Now some people have said these are neons, but I beg to differ. I think only one can be classified as a neon, though they do dry with a matte finish, as most neons do. Bright? Yes! But neon? Nope.

These didn’t have the most perfect application, I must say. Most of these are three thin coats even over a ridge-filling base coat. Three coats isn’t a deal-breaker for me, I normally use three as I like my nail polish as saturated as possible. I swatched all of these with a top coat so you can see the pretty shine.
