I've been a fan of Essie nail polishes since they were first released and exclusively sold in Myer stores in Australia... Even though they retailed for $18.95 per bottle which contain 15ml of product, I still couldn't say no to buying a few. Since Myer is discontinuing their stock of Essie polishes I've been finding them in discount cosmetic stores. And at what price? $6 a polish! Winning!! They didn't have all of the shades (I don't think many colours were introduced in Australia, apart from the seasonal ones) but they had some of the more popular colours featured by my favourite bloggers and Youtubers.. I had to have them! (yes it was a compulsive want)
The colours featured are Sand Tropez (there was actually only three bottles left of this colour and I had to pick up all three... After all, Sand Tropez is one of my favourite nudes and is similar a current cult favourite Chanel's Frenzy. Sand Tropez came out in spring 2011 (I believe) and is a beautiful dove grey nude and is definitely one of my favourite colours to wear. It is a great all year round colour and applies beautifully opaque in one to two applications. The polish itself lasts 4-7 days without chipping which is the best I've seen so far from Essie. If you ever see this colour, I highly recommend you try it. I've purchased it for my best friend before and it is her absolute favourite above any other polish.
Another cult favourite for spring/summer has been Mint Candy Apple. It really is the most perfect mint coloured polish. It applies beautifully with one to two coats. Definitely a great mint colour for all skin complexions (you know how you can sometimes get off coloured mint polish that will only suit paler skin tones.. This is definitely not the case!) if I can ever pull myself away from wearing Sand Tropez I'll definitely be sporting this colour!
The other colours featured here I haven't tested yet but they are still cult favourites. Bikini so Teeny (a new cult favourite since Mint Candy Apple), French Affair (the most perfect vibrant baby pink), Miss Matched (a light nude.. Your nails but better shade) and To Buy Or Not To Buy, a light lilac with purple and blue iridescent shimmer in it... It is absolutely gorgeous in the bottle!
Have you tried any of these Essie polishes? What is your favourite polish from Essie?
