Essie -Tribal Text-Styles

Sooooo....this shade is from Essie's Summer 2016 collection. I don't like to judge what is appropriate polish shade based on time of year, but I'm getting a fall vibe. Good transitional shade. Great formula, two coats. Topped with Julep Freedom Polymer quick dry top coat.

Essie -Mark OnMiami

Ok....so I caved. I used a white base and definitely achieved a neon-like effect. Such a beautiful, bright orange that I  didn't want this to go wrong. So I have on one coat of Zoya Purity and two coats of Essie's Mark on Miami. Dries matte. Topped with Julep Freedom Polymer quick dry top coat.

Essie -The Fuchsia of Art

....oh no...not another one from the Neons 2016 collection by Essie. They do recommend white base but....no....not doing that. Neon should be neon without the support of a white base. Do you agree?

Essie - Stencil Me In

Essie does recommend using white as a base coat for their Neons 2016.....but I'm a rebel....not doing it! Sadly this polish really needs it. This is three coats and not that vibrant.... (sigh). Topped with quick dry top coat HK Girl from Glisten and Glow. Next......
