Next on the docket from Essie’s summer collection is the namesake from the bunch, Naughty Nautical, a shimmery turquoise.

This gorgeous shade was one of the stand outs for me because I have been obsessed with  turquoises and blues for quite some time now.  At first it reminded me greatly of Butter London’s Slapper, but once I put them side by side Naughty Nautical is more green, whereas Slapper has bluer undertones (plus the Essie version has shimmer, hello!)

As always I used two coats over OPI’s Nail Envy as my base, then Poshe top coat over top to complete the mani.  So far, the colour has held up quite well and if you look closely you can see the shimmer in the colour (although maybe not as much as Sunday Funday).

I don’t have any other colours in my collection that come close to this one (aside from Slapper, but they are quite different).  I would definitely snatch this one up!

Naughty Nautical launches in June.

Are you excited to try Essie’s Naughty Nautical?
