Sometimes you see a collection and you know that you just have to have it. This happens to me a lot especially with Spring and Summer Collections. I am such a super for bright and light coloured polishes. Anyway, Essie's Spring Collection is one of those collections that were calling for me to get it. I saw so many pictures and swatches of this collection (I'm sure they were stalking me!) and I couldn't skip over it. Fast forward to now and I have swatched/worn the entire collection and can share all my thoughts with you.

All The Wave is described as a sapphired indigo. I love the look of this one in the bottle, but found it was a little dark on my nails (I think that was more my expectation of it more than anything else). I think it's a really nice colour (although I wish it was a little lighter or brighter to make it more spring like). The formula is also really good. With a careful application, you could get away with one coat. I used two coats for my swatch.

Backseat Besties is described as a delicate pink plumeria. I love this one. I am actually wearing it as a full mani now. I have also grabbed for it a few times now. Such a gorgeous colour and it has a good formula. My swatch shows two coats.
 |
B'aha Moment is described as a pink pomegranate. Again, this one is a really pretty colour with a good formula. I used two coats for my swatch.

Designated DJ is described as a plum sangria creme. I think this is a nice vampy colour but for me it does not belong in a spring collection. This is a shade that I would expect (and would wear) in Autumn/Winter. The formula is great and is opaque in two coats.

Excuse Me, Sur is described as a sun-kissed coral mango. I was a little on the fence about this colour when I first put it on. I wasn't sure if I like it on my nails. But I wear it as a full mani and feel in love with it. The formula is easy to use. I used two coats but questioned whether I should do a third coat.
 |
On The Roadie is described as a vibrant kelly green. Personally I am not a fan of this one as a full nail colour, however I think that it is perfect for nail art. The formula is great and is opaque in two coats.

Overall I like this collection, but wished that some of the colours weren't as dark as what they are. The formulas across the polishes are good and so easy to use. I know sometimes Essie's can be a little tricky to apply especially with the thin brushes (Essie polishes in Australia have a wide brush which are amazing!) but I didn't have any issues with the thin brush in these polishes. My personal favourite from this collection (if you couldn't guess) is Backseat Besties.
