Essie Coat Azure


I have been waiting forever to get this nail polish and I finally got around to buying it! Not to mention that it was on sale at Target for like $5 which is almost $3 cheaper than the normal price of it here. Like all Essie nail polishes, of course, I am very satisfied with it. It is a beautiful sky blue. Easy to apply and opaque too. It applied evenly in two coats. I recommend getting this nail polish too!
The only thing that kind of turns me away from it than it normally would is that I noticed that it looks a lot like Essie's Smooth Sailing. Of course, this color came out before Smooth Sailing came out, but I think if you're looking for Smooth Sailing and the store is out of it, this would be a pretty close alternative. Or visa versa. Smooth Sailing is slightly darker and has more shimmer to it though compared to Coat Azure. I have both though so I kind of almost have two of the same nail polish. Oh well. More to add to my collection I guess :)
Overall: I loved this polish but I feel like it needs to stand out more against Smooth Sailing. Other than that it's a beautiful color.

Essie Smooth Sailing



Essie’s Smooth Sailing nail polish. Hmmm…what to say, what to say. I loved it! It’s a part of their new Braziliant collection. It is described on their website as a breezy lavender with blue shimmer to it. Which I think it more looks more blue than it does lavender. But not doubt about it, it is shimmery. I loved it! I’ve always wanted this color but for the life of me could not find it anywhere till a Target I went to was selling it. 
There was one slight problem. It tended to get thicker as time went on while I was painting my nails. Each time I had to dip the brush back into the bottle it seemed like the polish was getting thicker and thicker with passing time. It was definitely not anything that would make me regret buying this polish though. The thickness was definitely not anything really upsetting. 
I highly recommend buying this polish! Such a pretty color!
