If you read my last post you would know that I am undertaking the challenge of Swatchfest 2013 (a.k.a. swatch every polish in my current collection). So here is my first entry of many... this is gonna be interesting!
Essie: To Buy Or Not To Buy.
This polish is an absolutely gorgeous lavender creme with a subtle blue and purple shimmer which compliments and brightens the polish although it doesn't show up much on the nails. This polish requires at least 3 coats to get it appearing smooth and opaque as the formula is very sheer and slightly streaky on the first couple of layers (like the majority of Essie pastel and lighter polishes). Overall I'm impressed with this polish and am going to continue using it.
Essie: Absolutely Shore.
This polish is a gorgeous light pastel green. I found the formula a bit disappointing, it was hard to get an even consistency causing bad streaking. You will also need at least three coats in order to get it opaque. I love the way it looks with my (very) light skin, normally greens make me look jaundiced but this one it kinda cute. Despite the problems with the formula I kind of like it, it won't be one of my frequently reoccurring polishes but I will use this one again, maybe for an accent nail or undies for a design.
Essie: Mint Candy Apple.
I have to admit, this polish was a lemming of mine for a LONG time. I instantly fell in love with the gorgeous fresh colour and it looks AMAZING against my (very light) skin. The formula of this polish is absolutely amazing, it is has a really easy application, no streaks at all and is opaque in two thin coats. I absolutely love this polish and will for a very long time, this colour is one of my top 10 polishes and I will wear it over and over.
Keep your eyes peeled for another Swatchfest 2013 post.
