Essie Fair Game - kinda brush stroke-y, but I didn't wait for it to dry completely (presumably they mellow out a bit). DBF insisted I get it, because he has become a backseat driver for my collection O_O. 2 coats.
Essie Your Hut or Mine – I really love this shade! I'm very yellow-toned so it's hard for me to find a good pink! It has a lovely shimmer that is kind of hard to capture... 2 coats
Comparison: Essie Your Hut or Mine and Revlon Sublime Strawberry. Most of my pinks lean to the blue side, so I decided to compare it against one of my favourite Revlons… because of how yummy it smells XD
Essie Da Bush – Even after hearing this was dupe-ish to OPI Stranger Tides, I still had to buy it. I love these shades, LOVE! 2 coats
Comparison: Essie Da Bush and OPI Stranger Tides. While they are really similar, I do not think they are total dupes (at least against my skintone). I think Da Bush is a tiny bit darker and bluer than the OPI. I needed 3 coats of the OPI compared to 2 with the Essie. I can't fathom choosing one of the two right now, so they will both live in my Alex to see another day :)
The formula on these were great. Although not like last year's Resort collection (with the yummy, almost jelly-like finish), I still really like it! But then again, I have a hard time not wanting to buy every Essie collection released…
I really want Da Bush But now I might have to get your hut or mine after seeing your swatches!
ReplyDeleteI love this collection!! Till you swatched it I didn't like it, but now, I am definitely thinking of buying some of these
ReplyDeleteFair Game is so so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI didn't get the Essie hype until I cracked open my first this week....now I get it. Multicolored shimmer, insanely good wear.....yep, I'll be getting more.
ReplyDeleteoh, i want Essie Your Hut or Mine. i looks really pretty on youEssie Your Hut or Mine. i looks really pretty on you
ReplyDeleteI really need Da Bush. I haven't been to an Ulta in forever. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteThese are really lovely. I think I need Da Bush (hate that name!) and Your Hut or Mine?.
ReplyDeleteI like the scent of Revlon Sublime Strawberry, too. I know that some gals don't go for scented products but I love them. :)
When I read about your boyfriend being a backseat driver for your polish collection, I laughed out loud. My husband is the same way. He likes to choose a polish for me, now and again. And I must give him credit, he has picked some real winners. :D
I must get Da Bush since it is more blue toned. Stranger Tides makes my hands look dirty... Great comp! Thanks!
