Yay!! So happy to see another mainstream brand. Can't wait to get this collection. Chillato and Pret-a-Surfer are my favorites. Not sure why they make such close dupes from collection to collection though (coral colors).
Getting Private Weekend and Chillato as soon as this collection is available in Mexico, I appreciate the effort you put into these videos to have them the fastest you can for all the polishaholics 😙 hugs from Mexico!
Thank you for comparing Peach side babe to Stones n roses! I have Stones n roses and I thought they were similar but when I googled no one seemed to compare the two.
I just picked up a bottle of saltwater happy and I was very pleasantly surprised to find out it's a one-coat polish for me. The formula is absolutely fantastic, especially for a lighter shade.
The summer is almost over, but I was offered the Chillato and Peach Side Babe for free recently. If nothing else, I can use them for french tip colors on darker colors. Thanks always for the helpful videos. I hope I get offered the blue ones too.
I totally agree with other comment below, you're the only one that giving a very clear instruction and information about the polishes! I would love to see more swatch and review of set collection! Best of luck ❤❤
I totally missed this review when you uploaded it! I just bought some from the collection at Target. Back I go to get Salt Water Happy. No worries about intros- and outros- if you don't have time. I just appreciate the reviews!!!!
Love the blues in this collection! Smooth Sailing and Lapiz of Luxury are lighter Essie blues that have decent formulas (LOL requires more patience, but the dry time is really fast). They came out years ago, so I don't know how easy they are to find - but if you can I highly recommend them! Before there was a Bikini So Teeny, these 2 blues were a lot of peoples favorites.
been watching your swatch videos .. one after an other and it might sound silly but i love how that white spot on your pinky is steadily moving "up" :D
Loved it! You always do the best review/swatches! Just wondering, do you ever do them for drugstore polishes? I would love to see WetnWild or Sally Hansen polishes reviewed and swatched by you :)
AmateurBeautyAddict Thanks! I don't have too much time to take on other brands at this point. I can never seem to find collections on time, and when I do find them, I can never find the whole thing!
My favorite here was also, "salt water happy" very pretty! Do you have Sally Hanson xtreme wear "golden-I" such a pretty gold metallic/foil and for me it wears so well!
elizabeth virginia Nope, I always mentioned when there is staining. I don't keep them on too long for these videos, so Pret-a-Surfer may stain if worn for a full manicure, but I didn't notice any.
Really cute colors, I like them all except the white. It really disappoints me when the shimmer doesn't show up on the nails, and I don't really need another plain white polish.
These are pretty, though I think I'm good for now. :P Jess, thank you so much for doing these live swatches so we don't end up regretting any polishes! :D
Too bad that some of the colors have that streakiness to them. Really like the Private weekend so too bad about the formula. Peach side babe is my fave from this collection :) Just did a video on the collection on my channel :)
Great swatches as usual. That is so annoying though, if you're going to do a dupe of your own colour - at least make them from a different year! Grr Essie!
Private weekend looks so awkward to apply. I have such a hard time trying Essie because it's so hit or miss. Any recommendations for best ones to start with?
mkristin96 There have been some great Essie's in recent collections. The Dressed To Kilt collection from Fall 2014 had fantastic formulas across the board!
I feel bad but I hate Live Love Polish. Everything there is SO much more expensive than it is when you buy a polish on Ebay or an indie polish on their own site. I don't ever shop there anymore because I discovered other places to buy most of them that were way cheaper. Do they ever have any sales or anything on their site?
Terran B You don't have to feel bad for not liking a website! I can't recall any specific sales but I feel like I've heard "clearance" before. There is definitely a markup, but I think part of it is the security of buying from a site that's an "official retailer" rather than Ebay :)
Peach side babe is not a nice color. Too bright and depending on the light it looks very very orange. I personally dont like it. I tried applying a matte top coat to see if the intesity of the color would fade away but it didnt fully help. It's a little better though....
For pret-a-surfer I found "grecian sun" and "rain rubber" both from sinful colors. And for chillato, it was a bit harder, but I came up with "sunshine sparkle" by Revlon and "yellow kitty" by Sally Hansen. Your very correct that those two were the most unique, even the shades I found were not exact matches, just very close. I tend to steer away from Essie because of the formulas, and especially if I already have a similar shade in my collection.
And yet another disappointing Essie collection, I just can't get into them. Meh, I really don't understood how some people love Essie so much? I just don't get it, the colors aren't unique and they're formulas are so hit and miss. Definitely skipping this one.
I see how you don't like their formulas and colors, I think they are unique, but some people have other choices. I'm pretty sure there colors are meant to be like for formal wear, which is why their colors aren't bright, not many colorful glitters. I could go on and on, but I do love Essie nail polish, I prefer their brand for some strange reason, there light and pastel colors make me adore it. I have one color from their collection which is, Chillato, I love, love, love that color! Even though the formula is streaky and thin, it's not hard to work with for me, if I love the color so much I would do anything for it. Chillato also goes great with white, so goes the other colors since some of them are pastel. Well I don't know, some people have other opinions, but I do love Essie nail polish.
This collection is disappointing. Nothing stands out to where I have to run to the store right now to get it. It's all just meh... :( Great video though.
My favorites are peach side babe and sunset sneaks they are just so gorgeous. I think that sunset sneaks looks amazing on your skin tone
You seriously have like the best review and swatch videos!! Thank you so much for this review, very educational! xoxo
Hannah Eve Nails It Thank you Hannah!
Yay!! So happy to see another mainstream brand. Can't wait to get this collection. Chillato and Pret-a-Surfer are my favorites. Not sure why they make such close dupes from collection to collection though (coral colors).
T Davis Essie seems to do that all the time! Thanks for watching :)
It's crazy how widely the formula varies!
Loopy Land That's classic Essie!
Getting Private Weekend and Chillato as soon as this collection is available in Mexico, I appreciate the effort you put into these videos to have them the fastest you can for all the polishaholics 😙 hugs from Mexico!
Iris Vicente Gómez Thank you!!
Thank you for comparing Peach side babe to Stones n roses! I have Stones n roses and I thought they were similar but when I googled no one seemed to compare the two.
sylvsify Nearly identical! Thanks for watching!
I really don't even bother watching anyone else's review videos lol yours are the best!
ilovefobx0 Thank you!!

Salt Water Happy is pretty, I might considering getting it!
Sarah Margaret I hope you like it!
I'm wearing pret-a-surfer and mine isn't as thick as you made it seem and I am loving this formula. It smells funny
Ashley Bivins There are usually slight variations from batch to batch in formulas :)
How in the world do u paint your nails and take the perfect picture?! Photoshop? Your nails are always spot on!
She did a video not too long ago on how she does everything
kaitlyn Shirley I don't photoshop them, I just take care of them. I made a video a while back on how I take my pictures.
This collection looks beautiful, honestly. I adore essie, so picking this up won't be hard :P
TheNinjaGallade Thanks for watching!
***** I'll always watch you, Jess. :D
TheNinjaGallade lol that sounds so creepy

I absolutely need this collection!! The colors are perfect! was there any staining?
elizabeth virginia Nope, I always mentioned when there is staining. I don't keep them on too long for these videos, so Pret-a-Surfer may stain if worn for a full manicure, but I didn't notice any.
thank you! I just ordered this whole collection. so excited!
That white, private weekend, looked so think for 2 coats.
the light blue is my favorite! when is the collection coming out to the stores?
meee1993ful It should be out already, since their neon collection is coming out in the beginning of June :)
"Peach Side Baby" IM IN LOVE,
Also "Pre-a Surfer" reminds me of the original Pacific Blue by Sally Hansen!
ParawhoreReckless | HU Soldier 〈3 Thanks for watching!
Got these today, will try them tomorrow. Formulas look a bit difficult 😁
To runny?
Yeah, probably to runny
that's a pretty collection. I agree I like the light blue a lot :) thanks jess
Stacy Perrin thanks for watching!
Always my pleasure :-)
I love salt water happy!
Really cute colors, I like them all except the white. It really disappoints me when the shimmer doesn't show up on the nails, and I don't really need another plain white polish.

StyleThose Nails Yes it is!
Great swatches as usual. That is so annoying though, if you're going to do a dupe of your own colour - at least make them from a different year! Grr Essie!
Laura Moore Right?! Essie seems to do that all the time!
Which was another pink with sunset sneak?

mkristin96 There have been some great Essie's in recent collections. The Dressed To Kilt collection from Fall 2014 had fantastic formulas across the board!
Cool. Thanks that's good to know. :)
And love saltwater happy I think a dupe could be secret periwinkle by China glaze
kaitlyn Shirley It's a quite a bit lighter, thanks for watching :)
I just bought 2 from this collection at Target today and they're great (:
iluvbubbles32 I'm glad you like them!
Lol that bird at 0:39
How do you dry your nails without smudging it or bubbles coming about ??
Yulianna Garcia You wait until your first coat is completely dry before adding the next :)
nice nail i want the nail
peach side babe and tart deco are really similar. I think i should just skip that one! lol
***** I agree!
Sour cream nails? Wuuuutttt? Essie, you cray.
Amanda Alexander haha, right?!

nabilaaaaaaaaaa I'm glad you figured out a way to make it work for you :)
Just went and found Dupes in my collection for ALL of them. Most of the dupes were from previous Essie collections, disappointing.
BailsNails What was your dupe for chillato and pre-a surfer? Those are the two that caught my eye.
For pret-a-surfer I found "grecian sun" and "rain rubber" both from sinful colors. And for chillato, it was a bit harder, but I came up with "sunshine sparkle" by Revlon and "yellow kitty" by Sally Hansen.

What was your dupe for "salt water happy" ?????thats my fave from this collection
BailsNails Essie seems to do that a lot!
Second
Okay but Pret-A-Surfer is lovely....
That's how my bikini so Tiny
?...
And yet another disappointing Essie collection, I just can't get into them. Meh, I really don't understood how some people love Essie so much? I just don't get it, the colors aren't unique and they're formulas are so hit and miss. Definitely skipping this one.

I don't know about everyone else. but Essie is not a all that polish.... I used to be all for it... but the formula on most, sucks!
Greeni Grin Formulas are very hit or miss, that's for sure!
FIRST
This collection is disappointing. Nothing stands out to where I have to run to the store right now to get it. It's all just meh... :(
Great video though.
Robin L Thanks for watching!
