Essie Play Date swatch

So as you can tell from the background I'm on a mini-vacation by the sea for the weekend, and this color is actually on my toes right now but I hate feet swatches so I put it on my hands (before putting on Bikini So Teeny which is the real color I'm wearing at the moment!) to show you.  I have Bikini So Teeny on my hands and Play Date on my toes which is a great combination.  Play Date is from Essie's Go Overboard Collection (a mini one with only 3 colors) which came out in January, and it is a purple, 3 coats shown here.  It's the only real purple Essie has (she has a ton of other lilacs/lavenders) and it is a vivid color which looks great on feet.  I will do some more swatches of Essie colors later this week before I leave for my real vacation!






Essie Bikini So Teeny swatch


So I'm going to start August off with a bang and do two posts today! Essie Bikini So Teeny is from Essie's 2012 Summer Collection and is a sky blue that sometimes looks bright and other times looks pale.  It is very similar to Essie Lapis of Luxury (see a previous post of mine) but is a shade lighter.  I like it and it is very summery.  This is 3 coats.
