Essie Fall/Winter part 2

Okay so as promised here is the second part of my Essie review.  As with the other three I found the formula to be a little thin and the brushes to still be small.  However, they are highly pigmented and went on well with a short drying time.  Midnight Cami only took two coats where Pink Parka and Bright Tights took three to be good enough to make me happy.  These colors may not vibe with the rest of the collection as they are "younger" colors, but paired with the more muted tones they make perfect sense.  I got Chinchilly and Pink Parka on the same day and couldn't help doing a crazy french mani that I will show you as well.  So, without further ado, lets look at some polish.

The first one up will be Midnight Cami since it is probably the most normal and easiest as far as application went. I tell you now that this was almost a one coater since it was so unbelievably pigmented. I fell in love at first sight, this is a deep navy with dark blue sparkles that even pick up in normal lighting. I don't think the pictures did it justice honestly.



Next we will go for Bright Tights, after three coats it was perfect and worked double as a SOS signal from miles away. The pictures are weird as my camera hated this color.  I don't know why my nails are blurry and nothing else is?  Strange right?

 
And finally my favorite of all has to be Pink Parka.  I loved this color so much that I actually paid full price to have it immediately as opposed to waiting for it to ship.
This was two coats and again could serve as an SOS signal.  I did put a top coat on over this one since it is a neon and dries matte, however,  I didn't put a top coat on Bright Tights.
And here is Chinchilly with Parka Pink tips.  Pretty nifty.
