Essie Resort 2011 Collection Review, Swatches and Photos

I just had to put up this post, I’m looking forward to a very short holiday I have planned in a couple more weeks and this collections makes me dream of it 🙂

This lovely little collection inspired by African Safari, is a good balance between crème and crème with micro shimmers. The formula varies between each polish, some were thicker and others thinner, but I wouldn’t say any of them were difficult to use, just that some were easier than others. 2 coats used with no top coat, not sure if it’s worth mentioning, but I always use base coat now to avoid staining my nails.

Da Bush

A light khaki crème that probably swatched the poorest of the lot, it is still a great polish, I just found the formula to be a bit thin for my own liking.

Fair Game

An almost metallic slate blue, I’m really loving this shade, it swatched well and is probably my favourite from this collection.

Lion Around

A very muted dusty rose crème, it’s a lovely wearable shade that probably is the thickest formula out of the four. It has a darker opacity to Revitanail’s Blushing Beauty, but otherwise is quite similar.

Your Hut or Mine

A tropical pink coral with micro shimmer, another favourite from this collection, very girly with a slight twist with the shimmer.

Another great collection by Essie, no real issues with application and I think there is enough variety to cater towards people’s different tastes 🙂
