Essie Resort collection 2011

The upcoming Resort collection from Essie is inspired by Essie's travels to South Africa. I love the color palette, it's truly lovely. Plus I enjoy African design anyway :) This review is being done on my sister Claire's beautiful nails, so give her a nice comment on here for guest modeling for me if you will please :)

I got two colors from the collection to review, the first and my favorite of the two is called Da Bush. When I first read the polish name on the bottom of the bottle I was like, uh that can't be right, maybe this is a misprint! But sure enough that is the name. I didn't know that premise of the collection or anything though haha. This is a soft dusty sage green crème. It looked great in two coats, no problems.
Fair Game is an interesting color for sure. It's hard to describe what color it actually is, best I can manage is a frosty steel blue grey color. This is three coats on Claire's fingers. It was a bit brush-stokey but I anticipated it as it's texture is metallic/frosty.
What do you think? I'm looking forward to seeing the other two colors in this collection Lion Around and Your Hut or Mine.

These were sent for review.

Upcoming Essie Polish

Hey girls! I haven't heard a lot about Essie's upcoming collections this year, well certainly much less than I have heard from most other brands lately *cough* China Glaze *cough*. But Teen Vouge editor Eva Chen has given us a few sneak peeks via her Tumblr blog. She's posted pictures of the Resort collection that comes out around May and the Summer collection that is due out around June.
Clockwise from top: Your Hut or Mine, Lion Around, Fair Game, Da Bush
left to right: Brazilliant, Too Too Hot, Super Bossa Nova, Absolutely Shore, Meet me at Sunset, Smooth Sailing
I have just received (today!) two of the Resort collection colors, Da Bush and Fair Game to review so you'll be seeing those soon. (Although, my Fair Game looks significantly different than the one pictured above...) I have always liked Essie polish and I am no more or less a fan since they have been acquired by L'oreal. I just like 'em!
