Dec / Jan is around the time of year people are in holiday mode. So I thought why not share the Essie Resort 2010 collection. I wasn’t as lucky as others to get time off work to go holidaying, but hey having beautiful bottles of polish that remind me of resort life isn’t really a bad thing either! At least I’ll have fun colours to wear one day when I’m able to visit a resort :D?
All swatches are 3 coats, with no top coat. And sorry if my hands look particularly dry in these photos O_o They certainly don’t -feel- dry!
Turquoise & Caicos
“A flirty and pretty tropical aqua”
This colour reminds me of a darker version of Apply Mint Candy, kinda. I found this particular bottle hard to apply, I have no idea why because the other 3 colours worked well for me. Could this be another “It’s me, not you” sort of thing? Me and my fabulous nail application skillz 😛
Lapis of Luxury
“A dreamy ocean blue”
Love this dusty blue colour, totally reminds me of my time in Hamilton Island (no the name has nothing to do with that). I found the formula for this one a bit on the thin end, but still has great opacity 🙂
Splash of Grenadine
“A playful magenta pink”
Not sure I’d consider this exactly pink, feels like a mix between pink and purple. The pigmentation on this colour is great, it really only need 2 coats to achieve this.
Playa del Platinum
“An elegant and sheer sandy gray”
This would be perfect for anyone looking for a conservative yet fun office colour to wear.
Overall
I don’t think there is a colour in this collection I didn’t like! I really loved this collection, great cremes 🙂
Pretty! I especially love Lapis of Luxury 🙂
Same! I wish I were on a resort just to wear these colours~
Woahh! I love all of these colours <3
They're really pastal (?) uh – like hahah. And I don't know. I love these type of colours! Favourite would be the Turquoise one !
I love pastel colours too! 🙂 They just seem so put together / grown up? But also they are a great way to throw in some colour at work 😉 (my office is very conservative so glitters and shimmers are no go!)
Lapis of Luxury and Splash of Grenadine are gorgeous! I’m really into shades like this at the moment.
Yay! I’m loving the blue too myself, but blue is my favourite colour so maybe I’m biased XD;
