I went to Walgreen's on my lunch break yesterday and was greeted by a display full of the Essie Summer 2011 collection. There are some beauties, for sure, but I only got one as I'm trying to be a little less spendy when it comes to polishes. I've never been one for really bright polishes, but Too Too Hot practically did a swan dive off of the shelf into my hand.
Gleaming and shiny in the sun!

I love this polish so much! It's a bright, cheery coral that demands attention. It was pretty opaque after just one coat, but I did two here. Very slight VNL.
I immediately googled for swatch pictures when I got home, but could only find promo pics of the bottles. Then I noticed that it has a release date of June 2011. Is it common for polishes to come out 2 months early, or did my Walgreen's stocker mess up and place it early? Either way, lucky me! :)
Hi there! I found your blog by googling for swatches from this collection too! LOL! I found these at Walgreen's too, but I wasn't as restrained as you - I came home with all 6!
ReplyDeleteI'm a knitter too, so I wanted to say hi!

I found these in-store already too. I read on a few blogs that they pushed the release date up to May 1.
ReplyDelete@Gail - I spent some time poking around your blog. I love the cardigan you posted! I feel like I need to step up my knitting time a bit, but it's hard being elbow deep in wool in the warmer weather! :) I'm prodgersrn on Ravelry.
ReplyDelete@Kellie - Did you bring any home with you? If it weren't for the Zoya exchange, I think I'd have gotten a few more!
Friended you on rav ;-)
