Essie Bikini So Teeny

For anyone that knows me, knows I love Essie nail polishes. Granted, some are indeed better than others, but for what they are worth, I will happily pay the mere £1.99 my purse strings will allow me to stretch to!

I recently picked up this little beauty, in the shade Bikini So Teeny. A very summer appropriate name! I would describe this shade as a powder/baby, purple/blue? This is most certainly something that I don't own anything similar to. I think this is a colour that will be a hit and miss with the person in question, but as an absolute nail polish lover, even if I didn't particularly like the shade, I couldn't bear to turn down a £7+ polish, for a fraction of the price.

As for the formulation, I really like this one. Some of Essie's shades are very thin in formulation, but if you have the patience to apply 2-3 thin coats, or apply a similar opque colour as a base, then it's usually worth it. I have never owned any like of Essie's current collections, but from the 8 or so I currently own (let me know if you would like a review on them all!), this is one of my favourites. I applied two coats, but one heavy application with sufficient drying time would do just fine. The brush on this is also a firm favourite of mine, rounded edges, perfectly hugging the edge of your cuticles for a precise application.
