My First Ever Essie Nail Polish!

Hi everyone! Hope you all are having a great day! The nail polish that I'll be sharing with you guys today is Essie Absolutely Shore. This polish is a sentimental piece to me (kinda?) because it is one of the first 2 Essie nail polishes that I bought! The other nail polish is Borrowed and Blue, which will be in an upcoming post! :)

I bought this polish a long time ago I can't even remember. This is from their Summer 2011 collection so I probably bought it around that time too..... which is almost 5 years ago hahaha. I guess it's also around that period where I was seriously into collecting proper good quality nail polishes.

Anyway, I bought this nail polish partly because the mint green trend was HUGE back then and I personally love mint green too which justified my purchase hahaha.

4 coats w/o top coat

As much as this is a beautiful pale mint green, the formula though... is h o r r e n d o u s. This swatch took me 4 coats to get it opaque and even so, you can tell from the photo that the surface is quite uneven because it is thick in some areas. 

Ugh... Don't you just hate it when this happens? -_-

And yup, before I could even take more photos, this happened. 

Hope you've enjoyed viewing this post! xx
