Essie - Resort Fling (Resort Fling, Resort Collection 2014)

In order to stay with the holiday pleasures for a bit longer, I opted for the name sake of Essie's Resort Collection this year: Resort Fling.
It is a jummy crelly and the colour I would describe as a peachy salmon or coral cantaloupe...if that makes any sense? For fun I added a thin layer of OPI I don't Speak Meak (which seems to be an overstock re-release of Nicole's Here Kim's The Sun. Karen Falcon of Imabeautygeek.com wrote a big blogpost about that fenomena here)
Just look at this juicy and fruity beauty of Resort Fling (don't mind the chip on my pinky nail.....it was there after I did some very hard sleeping and drinking coffee, no polish can take that, right?!....):

This was three very easy applied coats of syrupy goodness, it levels out perfectly (no streaks, no bald spots: just perfection). The wear was a tiny issue, BUT it could be that because I wore NO NAIL POLISH AT ALL for almost four weeks >ieks, I know<
Perhaps I should soak my nails in acetone for a while ;-)

Essie - Fair Game (Fair Game, Resort Collection 2011)

Polish on holiday number 4:

Ahhh, game watching in a resort in Africa >hmmmmm< sounds wonderful!

In the mini bottle I like Essie's Fair Game, it is a steel blue/grey with a hint of green, very edgy I thought ("I might even need it in a big bottle" I was contemplating..).
But then on the nail: *not so hot* I'm afraid.
It is way too frosty to my taste and the green is completely gone. It looks like a frosty steel grey with a hint of blue.

In the pics it looks better then in real life, I must admit. The formula was OK, a bit liquid but workable...this was two layers >I think< it could be three.
But the conclusion is: I don't need a big bottle of this one, YAH saving money here!!!

Essie - In The Cab-ana (In the Cab-ana Resort Collection 2013)

Day 4: (going strong here..) keeping it blue today with Essie's (again) In The Cab-ana from the Resort Collection '13. It is a light turquoise or aqua colour (Essie says "self-assured aqua azure") that reminds me of a beautiful caribbean sea, very resort appropriate >sigh<

I think this was two easy creamy coats.....but it was a while ago that I wore this....so I/m not 100% sure about this.
