PR Sample

Hello there! Are you enjoying the cold weather so far?

Yes? No??

To make your day a little bit colorful, today I am going to review and swatch ESSIE 2016 Winter collection. Essie has released 6 shades for this year’s Winter. The shades are:

Oh Behave!

Satin Sister

Get ready to see more of these shades:

AVAILABILITY:

Retails for $9 each and can be found on: Essie and also here, here, here

OH BEHAVE!:

Coral with peachy gold and pink fine shimmers. I am saving this color for Summer time though.

READY TO BOA:

It’s a burgundy-brown with burgundy red and gold duochrome effect.

PARTY ON A PLATFORM:

Blue based classic medium red cream polish. Everyone needs to have this color in collection!

GO WITH THE FLOWY:

This is a dove grey cream polish with very fine & subtle silver & light blue shimmers. Generally these kind of colors are hard to pull off but the hint of shimmers make it interesting. You will need 2-3 coats to make the coverage even. And also, this was the hardest color to photograph properly, but I did my best to portrait the real thing.

GETTING GROOVY:

This is a sparkling nail color with gold & silver fine glitters. This is a perfect color for holidays!

SATIN SISTER:

It’s rich teal cream nail color. With just 1 coat you get excellent coverage.

MY THOUGHTS:

The cream colors have excellent coverage. The shimmer ones are also good, but you will need 2-3 coats to get even coverage.
The formula dries down pretty quick.
As I didn’t apply any base or top coat, the colors stayed unchipped 2-3 days on my nails. With base and top coats it stayed longer.
The shades are versatile and properly chosen for Winter.

PROS:

♦ Quick dry time.

♦ Affordable.

♦ Nice color range

CONS:

♦ Shimmery ones needed 2-3 coats of application.

♦ You will need to apply a top coat to prolong the wear of the nail colors.

IN A NUTSHELL:

A short story before sharing my final thought of this collection.

I wanted to wear Essie nail colors on my wedding, but ordering online from Bangladesh meant paying 4-5 times the actual cost. So I had to skip buying those colors I picked so hopefully! Now that I have had the opportunity to work with Essie and actually try out their products, I am truly honored and beaming happily like a teenager.

So in a nutshell; Essie 2016 Winter collection is a great addition to any nail color addicts’ collection. I am loving these!
