So there are 10 polishes in this post, I decided you didn't need more than a couple pictures of each. You're welcome.
I decided to start with the super sheer, super shiny Mademoiselle. I'm pretty sure every nail loving person has this in their stash (now or at one point in time). It's a total classic! Mademoiselle is a clean, soft pink that is a perfect "my nails but better" look. I used 3 coats but you could use 1 or 2 depending on the look you want. No topcoat needed.
Mamba is a shimmery nude that is a perfect shade a palette cleanser. I like that this one leans a bit camel, a but peach so it's definitely not a boring shade. I used 3 coats to even out any streakiness and finished with topcoat.
Mint Candy Apple is probably one of the most popular classic Essie shades. It's a minty blue creme that gives a nice, refreshing feel! I found this one a bit chalky albeit, opaque. I used 2 coats plus topcoat. It's still a bit streaky in some areas but since I reached full coverage I didn't want to use a 3rd coat.
Play Date is a pretty lilac purple creme. This one was kind of sheer but it evened out perfectly in 3 coats. I really like this color for Spring and early Summer! I finished up with topcoat.
Peach Daiquiri is one of my favorites! It's a gorgeous coral crelly with a fantastic formula! It applied evenly and opaque in 3 thin coats. It was super glossy and shiny. But just to help it last I used topcoat.
Bachelorette Bash is a beautiful fuchsia creme. Another great formula and dreamy application. Opaque coverage in 2 coats. Topcoat for that glossy finish!
Winning Streak is another favorite. This is a greyed out purple creme that is soooooo amazing! You want 1 perfect color for Autumn? Get this! Fab formula and application. Perfect coverage in 2 coats plus topcoat.
Plumberry is a sexy reddish, magenta-ish creme. It's a classy color and not as in your face as a true red. So I think it'll be an easier shade to wear. The formula is more of a crelly finish and it's really lovely. Easy application, great coverage in 2 coats. Finished up with topcoat.
All Access Pass is a grape soda purple crelly. Love the vibrant color and the shiny finish! We've got a creamy formula that applied for full coverage in 3 coats. Added topcoat for more shine.
Off Tropic is my 3rd favorite because HELLO! Gorgeous shade of green! Perfect name because it's totally a jungle green. Fabulous creme formula, awesome application. I used 2 coats for full coverage. Finished up with topcoat.
Also wanted to share the topcoat I used for all the polish in this post. Speed Setter is a quick dry topcoat with lots of shine! I found the formula to be pretty great and feel the dry time was quick! I had dry nails within about 5 minutes.
