Howdy everyone!
Today I’ve got the essie rocky rose summer 2019 collection. This is one of three new summer collections from the brand. I have already swatched the gelcouture sunrush metals collection and hopefully will be swatching all the shades from the gorgeous geodes collection soon (I have been sent only 2 of the 6 shades so far.)
The formula was really great with all of these colors. They covered perfectly with just two coats over my standard ridge-filling base coat. And I must reiterate how much I LOVE the wider, rounded-edge brushes. They fit my nails so much better!
come out to clay
come out to clay is a sandy pink.
around the bend
around the bend is a yellow-toned pink.
set in sandstone
set in sandstone is a muted coral.
into the a-bliss
into the a-bliss is a dusty mauve.
no shade here
no shade here is a vivid fuchsia.
cliff hanger
cliff hanger is light warm brown.
rocky rose
rocky rose is a warm-toned clay.
yes i canyon
yes i canyon is a burnt orange.
bed rock & roll
bed rock & roll is a dark redwood brown.
When I first saw the collection I kind of thought it looked super boring. However, after swatching them all, I really did like quite a few of these on me. My personal favorites are set in sandstone, into the a-bliss, no shade here and yes i canyon. And as I mentioned before, the formula was great and the brushes are perfection!
You can find the essie rocky rose summer 2019 collection on their site and in stores now.
Do you see any shades here you want to hunt down?

Sandstone caught my eye immediately!
I am also surprised by how much I love some of these. They are all so pretty.
I have to admit, the only one I’m not bored by is no shade here.
I like these a lot, particularly cliff hanger and bed rock n roll. I don’t get as much wear time from Essie for some reason. (TLC excluded) only reason I won’t buy those two. I will likely dig out Zoya Odette to pacify myself.
I think the collection feels appropriate for late summer. It has a duskier vibe than the early summer collections.
