Essie Wedding Collection 2011

by - 04 April

Here are some swatches and comparisons of the shades from the collection. Since I own so many pale pinks, I skipped Better Together.




2 coats


Borrowed & Blue is a pale blue that isn't like any of the other pale blues released this season. I love how clean it looks. It was really easy to apply - no streaks or running. I thought it may be similar to Hard Candy Sky, so I did a quick bottle comp:




Look at how clean B&B looks next to Sky. So pretty. I didn't do a nail swatch comp, but I can do one if you'd like. I think they're different enough to own both.




3 coats


First Dance is a true red jelly. I love how shiny the finish is, and it was a dream to apply. I pulled two reds that I thought of when I first swatched First Dance, and this is what I came up with:


Top to bottom: Zoya Kristi, First Dance, China Glaze Salsa


First Dance and Kristi are jellys while Salsa is a creme. I don't see much difference between the shades, except Kristi is just a touch cooler and Salsa is richer in pigment.




3 coats


Made to Honor is a pinky nude jelly. It actually built up really nicely, which I didn't expect. I love this shade and don't own anything quite like it. Really, I couldn't even find something to compare it to. Of course, I might be forgetting something. Feel free to suggest a comp for this.


Is anyone else loving this collection as much as I am?
