Hello again, surprised I'm back so soon? Well, I just couldn't stay away because I've been eager to try out a different camera for my nail photos and I am loving how great the photos are with the switch! Let me know what you guys think of the photo quality :)
Last time I was at CVS, I came across Essie's summer collection- full of shimmers and brights with nautical names. I couldn't resist and picked up 3. There's either 4 or 5 in the collection, but I passed on a couple of the shades.
Lots of photos in this post! All swatches are without topcoat.

First up is Rock the Boat, a light cornflower blue with silver shimmer. The shimmer is only noticeable in the sunlight, but I love the shade nonetheless! Its formula was decent; at first it was uneven and streaky, but 3 coats seemed to do the trick to create full, smooth opacity.

Sunday Funday is a bright coral/pink with the same silver shimmer that the whole collection has. The application was better on this one; it only required 2 coats for opacity. This color was really hard to capture on camera! In person, it's a little more pink-leaning.

Naughty Nautical is a sea green/muted teal with the same silver shimmer. This may be my favorite from the collection because it's so unique! The application was similar to Sunday Funday and only required 2 coats. I must say the name drew me to it as well; I can't resist polishes with cute names!
What do you think of Essie's new summer collection?

Photo quality look great! :) There all pretty fun colors for the summer. I really like them all :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! I liked the whole collection, all the shimmers were gorgeous :)
DeleteI bought the same three :) I've already worn Naughty Nautical as a pedi and Sunday Funday as a mani. Very fun and summery - your pics capture them beautifully.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I think Sunday Funday would be a great pedi color too!
DeletePlease. I use my cell phone to take photos ... your photos look fine! :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen these in person yet, but I KNOW I need Naughty Nautical in my life.
Thank you! You definitely do :)
DeleteGreat photos! I really like this collection. I picked up Sunday Funday and Naughty Nautical. I wore them recently together as a mani.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm sure they'd look really great together
DeleteI haven't decided yet, but I might go for Rock the Boat - thanks for sharing these swatches!
ReplyDeleteThank you! It's a really pretty shade, you'll love it :)
