Essie - Flowerista collection

Garden variety

Garden variety this
polish is more green
Garden variety is a deep teal polish that leans more green than blue. The formulation for this polish is ok, the first coat applied slightly patchy and the consistency was on the thinner side but it's not so thin that it runs off the brush it was a was fine to work with. The second coat really helped this polish it made the polish look brighter and was fully opaque, unfortunately my swatch picture made this polish look a lot more blue than it really is so I apologise for that, the polish has a more green than the picture shows.


Flowerista

Flowerista 
Flowerista is a deep purple polish with a slight hint of pink. The formulation of this polish was ok it was nothing special slightly on the thinner side, I would suggest you don't load the brush with polish when painting with this polish it helped me for the application. The first coat of this polish was fine not patchy but it does benefit from a second coat, I'm not blown away by this colour its certainly not unique, if you look at some of the other spring/summer collections from this year you will find a similar colour of polish to this one, all in all the polish was just ok nothing special.


Blossom dandy

Blossom dandy
Blossom dandy is a light green blue polish almost a sea foam colour. The consistency of this polish is good its not to thick or thin it was easy to apply, the first coat did apply slightly patchy but the second coat really did make the polish pop. Not really a lot to complain about with this polish the colour is nice but nothing really unique and formulation was good.


Petal pusher

Petal pusher
Petal pusher is a medium grey with a hint of purple, blue tones running though it. This polish could defiantly be a one coater but just be careful when applying because the consistency is on the thinner side. I am a fan of grey polishes and I do like this one, I'm just not sure if it has a place in this collection, this colour doesn't really scream spring to me I would put it down as more of a autumn/winter colour but that is just my opinion. Again this polish is nice nothing over exciting just nice.


Perennial chic

Perennial chic
Perennial chic is a lovely light pastel peachy orange polish, I really like the colour of this polish its like a neutral with a difference but the consistency of the polish is crap. The was so watery it was running of the brush and flooding my cuticles, it's really a shame that the consistency of this polish is rubbish because it didn't apply streaky or patchy which with this kind of lighter colour sometimes they apply patchy and it only needed two coats, The colour is lovely but the consistency of this polish is so hard to work with that its almost not worth the effort its a real shame.


Picked perfect

Picked perfect
Picked perfect is a caramel milk chocolate colour, the consistency of this polish was on the thinner side but its not as watery as perennial chic. This polish is fully opaque in one coat it wasn't streaky or patchy which is a plus. There's nothing really over exciting about this polish the colour is nice but I'm sure I could find a dupe for it in my collection with a better formula.
