Essie’s Poppy Razzi collection is not to be mistaken for Essie’s upcoming (or perhaps already out) Summer 2012 collection! This collection plays off the entire paparazzi concept, which its pretty obvious by the name and collection name. I found it strange that most of the polishes from this collection have semi-matte finishes, rather than being shiny as is the case with most polishes. I guess it’s a nice change for some, and besides most people use a shiny top coat anyways.
All swatches are 2 coats with no top coat so you can see its natural finish.
Action
A vibrant light orange neon with a semi matte finish. I found Zoya’s Arizona is very similar in terms of colour but with a naturally shiny finish.
Bazooka
This was a little hard to pin point, in some light it looks with a very orange watermelon shade, and in others it’s a tangerine shade. So take your guess. Either way I found Chanel’s Holiday is be rather similar.
Blanc
A snowy white polish, which like OPI’s Alpine Snow is the perfect tip for French manicures. I think everyone needs one in their collection.
Camera
A bright coral pink neon, very watermelon like shade with a semi-matte finish. ORLY’s Ore is a less pigmented version.
Light
An electric pink neon, very bright! Essie’s Tour de Finance is very similar, only with a very slight micro-shimmery finish.
Oooh what a pretty collection! I def wants Light

Like all of these but the white one! Man all these polishes you show us, Celina! My nails are mad at me for being so boring with them.
