NOTD: Essie Mojito Madness

script type="text/javascript">

Feeling wild?  Essie’s Mojito Madness is satisfying my cravings for a hot nail polish colour this summer.

Mojito Madness is a creamy kelly green colour that is very bright and bold.  I’m not sure if Essie has ever done a colour similar to this one as they are mostly known for their pastels.  When I first got the Bikini So Teeny summer 2012 collection this was the colour that I was so excited to try.  I don’t really have any greens in my collection, I have a ton of pinks and blues but greens are a colour that I’m lacking (I have China Glaze’s In The Lime Light which is a neon green colour but dries matte and starts chipping in less than a day).

The shade is basically what you see is what you get, it’s a solid colour with no glitter or shimmer.  After two coats of the polish the colour was opaque and actually quite glossy.  I finished off the manicure with a coat of OPI’s Top Coat on top.  It is a fun summer colour and when I look at it it reminds me a lot of limes.  The name is fun too and I could definitely see myself sipping some mojitos in the summer sun with this shade on.

If you are into greens I would pick this one up.  I haven’t seen a colour like this in a long time, I find that usually greens are either more pastel or bright neon, it’s not everyday where a colour like this one comes along, especially from Essie.

A different take on swimsuit shopping: Essie summer 2012 collection

Essie is really stepping up their game this season, first with their neon Poppy-razzi collection and now their summer 2012 line.  When I think of Essie I think of softer pastel colours, not bright, neon shades.  That all changed when I saw this line.

Essie’s summer 2012 collection consists of six bright, fun colours perfect for summer.  Inspired after finding the perfect swimsuit, I don’t think anyone will be shy about picking their favourite from this collection.  The line consists of two pinks, a copper/rose gold, a bright green, a vibrant orange, and a periwinkle blue with shimmer.

I absolutely love every shade in this collection and honestly had trouble deciding which colour to try first (if only I had six pairs of hands!).  I will be posting separate posts for all of these shades including swatches and thoughts so keep a look out for those!
