It took you long enough to get here!
I’ve been drooling for a long time over all the Essence swatches I see on the Euro blogs. And finally, the this elusive brand showed up at Ulta for a mere $.99 each. Now, these are small, weighing in at .1oz. However, comparatively, they’re still cheaper than a good majority of polishes out there. And unlike most economical polishes, the brush and the consistancy is fairly good.
All the swatches here are shown at 2 coats and a top coat. The only one that I had some issues with was Check Me Out. It was fairly streaky – at two coats, you can still see some of the streaks. However, this is not a unique problem with neons. Both the blues are fab and Glamourous is sexy as hell.

These are all beautiful! I love pool party
Pool party looks beautiful on you. I wish these would come to Canada.
Oh god, I love love love Pool Party and Glamorous!! I might have to bug a US friend to snag me some.
I love those and can’t believe they’ve made it to the States. I hope this is a good sign of more to come. I must have Underwater!
Your swatches are always fantastic! I didn’t get these because the bottles were uncomfortably small
But pretty colors!
I try not to try new brands anymore to keep my stash under control and magically multiplying!
i love your swatches
what I find puzzling is the price difference between the us&europe: they are 1.19€ each here and only .99cents in the us? and all made in europe? how could that be? o.O
OMG! Pool Party!! <3
Aw you guys! I’m so glad you like the swatches!
Belle, I rather like the mysterious polish procreation! hehehehehe
AmusedPolish, It must be the long voyage across the pond. A tuckered out polish must not have as much value! =D
My closest Ulta only had the yellow Essence in stock. I’m this close to ordering from them online, especially after seeing your swatches.
Pool Party and Gold Rush would be so nice this summer. Glamorous is unexpectedly hot, too – can’t always judge a polish by its bottle shot!
I love Pool Party, it was my pedi a few weeks ago and I couldn’t stop looking at it. It’s the perfect summer color.
Ooo, I like Just In Case, but I usually never like golds actually on me =[. Plus, the nearest Ulta is 30 minutes away, so I’ll have to pass. *sighs*
