Essie Fall 2013 Collection Review and Swatches

Essie Fall 2013 Collection
Hello ladies. Today I will show 3 lovely nail polishes from the Essie's Fall 2013 collection. In total the collection has 6 colors and I have the shades The Lace is on,For the twill of it and After School Boy Blazer to show you. So let's see the swatches:

Essie The Lace is on
The Lace is on: The color is a pinkish purple and I did really like it from the first time I saw it. Actually this and the next shade immediately caught my eye when I saw the collection.The formula is good and it's fully opaque with 2 coats. While the finish is quite shinny on it's own and you wouldn't need top coat for extra shine I would still use top coat simply because it can peel quite easily, specially if your hands are consistently in water.

Essie For the twill of it
For the twill of it: It was so hard to picture this duochrome nail polish so the second picture shows, in the best way possible, all the color changes. It's a pretty purple,grey and blue duochrome... I don't  about you but I'm a sucker for such nail polishes, they add that something extra to your manicure without the need of some kind of nail art...The formula is great and so is it's longevity.

After School Boy Blazer: If you want to rock dark nails in fall but don't like black this is the one you should get. It's a really dark blue and you'll see a bit of blue only in direct sunlight. The formula is really good and it's very opaque, you can even get away with just one coat...Personally I prefer wearing such dark colors on short nails not long,what's your opinion?

Overall, I like all 3 shades and I think they are great colors for Autumn/Winter. Also surprisingly all of them have great formula and I mention this because I've heard Essie nail polishes sometimes can be hit or miss. You can find them at many places and BeautyBay.com in one of them. What do you think of those colors? Did you buy any from this collection?

  4. Very strange that you say they have a great formula, because they don't look like they do. Not the two frist ones aleast. They look streaky and thin.

    These are not on my shoppinglist.

    1. All have good formula and maybe the second look slightly streaky. I honestly can't understand how you say that they are thin just from the photo, and the formula suppose to be thin but opaque at the same time to be considered good, and those are good.
