Essie Resort 2011 Pt. 1

I love Summer collections. Not only are they always full of fun, bright shades, but there is also no school, which means there is more time to enjoy them! I was especially looking forward to Essie's Resort collection, since last year's was such a surprise love for me. Splash of Grenadine and Lapis of Luxury are both in my top 20.





Anyway, onto the swatches!







2 coats


Lion Around is an interesting shade. It's a dusty pink with a touch of warmth. I'm a fan. The shimmer gives it an interesting finish, too. It sort of reminds of the shimmer that is in the Zoya Touch polishes, but less obvious. I didn't have a problem with the formula either - perfectly opaque in two coats.







2 coats


Your Hut or Mine is a rosy pink with pink and gold shimmer. Love it! I'm a sucker with any color with gold shimmer, honestly. I think this could have used a third coat, but only because I applied such thin coats of this one. Not sure why. Anyway, it's stunning.








Swatches of the other half of this collection, Da Bush and Fair Game, coming soon.

    I am a big fan of YHOM :) I'm so glad I got it :D Lion Around looks much better on you than anyone else I've seen, though!
