essie treat love & color metallic shades
The essie treat love & color metallic shades are coming out this month and I’ve got swatches for ya!
The treat love & color line is a new-ish line for essie. They have nail strengthening and treating ingredients and you don’t have to wear a base coat or top coat with them. There are now 40 shades in all in this line.
You probably know metallic nail shades can be prone to showing brush strokes. I didn’t have a huge issue with that but a few of the shades still look slightly brush stroke-y. But remember, these are super up-close photos so in real life they don’t look bad. Each one covered with two coats.

And there you have it. I like a lot of these shades but especially got it golding on, pep in your rep and finish line fuel.
As far as the “breathable formula” I honestly cannot speak to that as I only swatched them, I didn’t wear them for any length of time. Even if I did I would still probably use a quick-dry top coat for more shine and smoothness (not that these aren’t smooth.)
essie treat love & color metallic shades are available starting this month on their site and in stores and they are $10.00.
Are you a fan of metallic shades like these?

Very pretty shades!!!
My favorite ones from these..
Pep in your rep, Steel the lead and Laced up lilac..
I guess they are more unique to my collection.. however, I think I have said this before.. you can’t buy Essie in México 🙁
I will keep them in mind and maybe I’ll order them from Amazon or such..
Kelly.. have you seen the “valentines” essie around? will you make a review of them? I have seen them around IG a lot and I’m looking for a review. .they’re so cute!
I’ve only seen them online on Ulta’s site.
If you’re in Canada most Shoppers seem to have them right now.
I generally am not the biggest fan of metallics, but these are all so nice! I absolutely love Finish Line Fuel and I think I’ll be picking that one up! Great swatches, as always.
I agree, metallics aren’t my favorite finish either but a few of these are so beautiful!
Thanks for these. Finish Line Fuel is gorgeous! I might get some if they ever make an appearance in Oz 🙂
I LOVE metallic-finish polishes, but it can be so hard to find really good ones. These Essie metallics are too sheer-looking for me, I’m afraid. The best silver metallic I’ve found is Zoya’s “Trixie,” but I still don’t have a go-to metallic gold….
I like some of these colors. I have a few of the TLC colors and they’re great for days when I don’t have much time to wait on regular polish to dry. The last two are right up my alley
