Essie Absolutely Shore - Review & Swatch

Hi Everyone!

This week's nails of the week is another polish from Essie and this time it is Absolutely Shore from the new Braziliant Collection for Summer 2011. Absolutely Shore is one of the 6 new colours in the collection. Essie describe this polish as 'a soft sea foam green'.

Other colours available in the collection are:

Meet me at Sunset: A vibrant deep orange

Superbossa Nova: An upbeat bright fuchsia

Braziliant: A hot orange with a touch of shimmer

Smooth Sailing: A breezy lavender blue with a reflection of pearl

Too Too Hot: A sizzling rich red coral

All of the colours look amazing but, to be honest, nothing that I haven't seen before! I choose to get Absolutely Shore as I don't own another colour like this. I really like opaque white-ish colours with a hint of another colour, if that makes sense! This polish is a gorgeous soft, peppermint green shade. I applied 2 coats of OPI Nail Envy as my base and then 2 coats of Absolutely Shore. I felt that the application was a little streaky but it dried more or less even and was opaque after 2 coats. I then applied 1 coat of Seche Vite Fast Drying Top Coat.

I purchased my polish from John and Ginger for £9.95 and you can also buy it from Amazon here: essie 2011 Braziliant Summer collection, Absolutely Shore 758
