Essie First Timer

I have been loving Essie lately. They have come out with some pretty nice collections and I think I bought about 10 of them in the last 2 months alone. This next polish I have debated about getting for a long time. It seemed so different on different people, some I liked and some I didn't like so much.

Eventually, I bit the bullet and ordered Essie First Timer and I'm really glad I did! This is a stunning green cream polish and the formula is really nice. Opaque in 2 coats and, although a little patchy, it does even out nicely on the nail. The dry time was ok, a little on the long side, but my trusty SV makes this a non-issue for me.


First Timer is part of the 2013 Resort Collection, I already showed you In the Cab-Ana from this collection. I absolutely love how this looks with my skintone. It almost becomes a dusty grass green and it looks really pretty. Just look at these swatches!

This polish is the salon version and every time I use one of those I decide never to buy the drugstore kind with the wide brush again! (for more information about the different kinds of Essie polishes, click here)

What's your favorite Essie polish?

  2. Such a vibrant green. I'm with ya on the brushes...I think the smaller brush gives you more control.

    1. I just didn't want to let go of summer, but I'm afraid I don't have any other choice...
      That's exactly why I like them better. I really hate the brushes that paint your nail and cuticle at ones.
