Essie Spring 2014 Review

Hey guys! I know that I'm super behind on this, but I decided to post it anyway for a couple of reason. One, being that I want to document the way I felt about it, which ones I liked and didn't like, and what they looked like. I have all of these pictures and notes about the polishes, I figured I can put them to use! The other reason being that as I was looking back at my pictures and editing them for this, I realized that I have come a long way just since spring! These pictures were all taken sometime in April and May. It's crazy to see, and I want all of my progress documented here!

The first shade is Hide & Go Chic. This is a dark blue shade. For this polish, I used two coats, I loved this color. It was dark color, which wouldn't be a typical spring polish, but it worked so well as a spring shade. I appreciated that Essie found a way to incorporate a dark color in a spring line! It's a good way to mix it up if you aren't a huge fan of pastel shades.

Truth or Flare was a gray toned light blue shade. This color for some reason reminded me of jeans. I used three coats of it. It wasn't the best color, but it definitely fit the spring category. It had a good formula, though.

Fashion Playground is a gorgeous mint green shade. It has a slight shimmer in it, but you can't really see it in the picture. The formula was good, but I did need four coats of it. It was almost a three coater, but I just wanted to be sure. Also, I typically need 3 coats for almost every nail polish, because of the way that I apply it. This color was perfect for spring.

Style Hunter was a reddish pink color. There were definitely some hints of pink in it, which is good for me. I typically am not a fan of red nail polish, but there was enough of a pink tone to this one that I didn't hate it. I only needed two coats of this polish. It had a great formula.

Romper Room was a very light pink color. I used two coats, but one was very thick, while the other was pretty thin. I probably should have done a third coat. I was expecting it to be more pinky on the nails than it was. I almost would consider this a nude polish depending on your skin color and skin tone. While I don't have specific dupes, I feel like I've seen this polish before, or something very similar.

Finally, we have  Spin the Bottle. This polish required three coats. It was an interesting color. I would definitely call it a nude shade. It was sort of a brownish, pinky nude. I liked it, but I'm just not the biggest fan of nude nails. It is a great option if you are in need of a nude for a time when you need professional or clean nails. After adding glitter to it, I loved it, though. The first picture is the swatch, and the second picture is is with OPI's Gaining Mole-mentum from the Muppets collection.

Overall, I liked this collection. I think the shades are useful for nail art and just as core pieces of someone's nail polish collection. If you are interested in purchasing any of these shades, you can buy them here. Just scroll down to the right collection and you can purchase the whole collection, or you can buy them individually. I have also still seen this in the Essie section at my local Walgreens'. I am not sponsored in any way, I just want to provide the correct information for you to be able to purchase this collection!

Thanks for reading <3
