101st Post! Essie Smooth Sailing

I told you I would have Smooth Sailing from the Summer 2011 collection for you next time i posted and here it is. It's a somewhat dusty grey based blue with a looot of glitter. The micro glitter is silver, pink, and blue but man was it hard to get a good picture of. Two coats was all it took for opacity though the formula felt a little weird and not like the normal super smooth/watery usual Essie formula. This was still super easy to work with though and you might want to use two coats of topcoat because it sort of eats the first one.

And my stamper came in the mail today! Soo I did a quick white flower with my striping polish and a quick blue butterfly with Wet n Wild's Saved by the Blue.

Essie: Absolutely Shore

Yay! I finally got my hands on this pretty pale green from Essie's Summer 2011 Collection... I'm not sure if my local Walgreens just got their dates mixed up for what but I'm glad to have this! Absolutely shore is a very very pale green a little on the dusty side and leaning more yellow than blue. I love it.... So so so so much! In the typical Essie fashion, this took three coats for perfect opacity but the formula was easy to work with and evened itself out. I was applying this while watching the King's Speech so it took me a while to get all my fingers right because I kept smudging them on something or a cat hair would get stuck in my top coat! I prevailed though to bring you these pretty pretty pictures!

Three coats Essie Absolutely Shore, one coat Seche QD.

I wonder how this compares to the green from OPI's Pirates of the Carribbean collection's green? I don't know but I loooove this, definitely my new favorite pastel creme.

Essie Summer at Walgreens!!

I found the Brazilliant Essie Collection in my local Walgreens today!!! I only picked up one color because I don't see myself wearing neon orange tooo often and the pretty berry color looked a lot like OPI's Do You Think I'm Texy so I just passed. The blue looks a lot like Coat Azure only with a tooon of pretty purple and light blue glitter in it. I picked up Absolutely Shore because I looove greens <3

Excuse the crappy phone pictures!
