ESSIE WEDDING COLLECTION 2010 SWATCHES AND REVIEW

Good Morning Girls..

The swatches for today will be for one of Essie’s soft shade collection; The Wedding collection 2010.

Due to budget constraint, I could only purchase the mini collection. So instead of 6 colours, I only have 4. Nevertheless, its good enough to do this review. This is what Essie had to say for these 4 colours:

Classically chic with a touch of modern sheen, the palette of shades was created to compliment the beauty of wedding day nuptials



This collection includes:

petal pink - a sweet and subtle creamy pink


walk down the aisle - a fresh and creamy white


show me the ring - an iridescent pearl


main squeeze - a shimmering lilac crea

Sounds yummy isn’t it? Well look at the colours now:

Petal Pink.

Petal pink is like all the hundreds of nude sheer pink that you can easily find out there. I didn’t do any comparison for this because its obvious that its has an evil twin out there. The application was smooth but very sheer. These were 4 coats. Will look really great with French manicure.

Walk Down The Aisle

Walk Down The Aisle is easily one of my favorite polish in this collection. Why? Simply because its sheer white and it looks so much like my all time favorite OPI colour- Timeless is More. Its sheer despite being said its creamy, and like petal pink I had to apply 4 layers. Forgive me for the awful picture. I had a hard time applying this one. Not sure because of the tiny brush from the mini bottle or it is like that. Colour wise its pearly white, and it looks absolutely beautiful on its own, or will look cooler with French Manicure.

Show Me The Ring

This is a goldish sheer coloured polish that I absolutely dislike. One because the application was crappy (again probably the mini brush), two because it looks so yucky! again because of the application). Oh man just look at it! I hate to even post this up;-/

Main Squeeze

Despite being said its lilac-crea, I think it looks more bluish than purple in real life. It’s quite a nice colour, however, the bigger bottle would probably do more justice to the picture.

Overall it’s a decent collection. Nothing new. Just something for someone who needs a ‘toned-down’ look. Will look great on brides to be of course, and for the work look. Be sure to purchase the bigger bottles if you want to get these because again I’m reminding you; the mini brushes are so tedious! And its really hard to apply!. These are retailing for Rm 70 in My Nail Solution.

Take care girls and have a great Monday morning ahead. Hope you girls can cope it better than me. Sayonara..
