Happy Friday Peeps!
Sorry today’s post is up late. I thought I had already written and scheduled it, but apparently that was all in my dreams.
Anyway, today I have one of Essie’s new offerings for Spring: Go Overboard. It’s a collection of 3 new colors (though I’ve seen an extended display in some stores that include 3 re-promotes as well): Go Overboard, Play Date and Armed and Ready. Let’s check ’em out…
First up we have the collection’s namesake: Go Overboard. I’m in love with this baby. It’s an amazing dark teal creme that applies like a dream. One coat almost got the job done, but 2 coats made it perfect. Peep it:

Next we have Play Date. This is a soft purple/lilac creme. I was worried it was gonna be a streaky, thin mess, but the formula was great and it applied easily. In the pic below I used 2 smooth coats.

And last, but definitely not least, is Armed and Ready. This baby is a gorgeous little chameleon with some hidden shimmer. It’s a dark army-green with a hint of grey and some golden shimmer thrown in for good measure. Check out the loveliness:

So what do you think of these new Essies? I for one am pretty impressed with them. I always used to think of Essie as a company that made tons of sheer pinks and reds that I was never really interested in, but they’ve done an awesome job of stepping up their game in the past year or so.
Do you own these? Do you have a favorite? Let me know your thoughts and enjoy the rest of your Friday! Yay for the weekend! 🙂

Colour Coated 
armed and ready is gorg
Yeah, I think it’s the definite must-have from this collection.
I have Go Overboard. I’m in love with it. It’s my first nail polish that I actually really liked and has turned me into an addict. I’ve since bought about 15 nail polishes.
Yay for a new polish addict! 🙂 You should get Armed&Ready. You’ll love it too!
I would love to have Armed & Ready but I really need to cut back on my addiction by going on a no-buy. NOT!!
Haha, no-buys are too hard. You definitely need Armed & Ready 😉
I’m definitely going to get Armed and Ready because it’s just looks so awesome. But I’m totally digging Go Overboard as well. Might pick that one up too.
I think you’ll love both. If you can only get one, Armed & Ready is the way to go though 🙂
I like Armed and Ready….no surprise there though! Nice swatches!
Thank you sweetie 🙂
I think I need to get all those colors
Yeah, you really do! 🙂
Great swatches! Armed and ready is on my wish list.
Thanks! You NEED Armed & Ready!
Armed and Ready is amazing! Love it 🙂
Isn’t it?! You’d love it even more in person
Armed and Ready is gorgeous on you! I like the gold, makes it a little different and extra posh.
Thanks hun 🙂 I love the hidden shimmer too. It’s definitely what makes it stand out from other colors like it.
are there any other colors ? i found play date today at cvs i had no idea it was new its a beautiful color
There are 3 other colors in some displays, but they are re-promotes. The three I swatched are the new ones though 🙂
Go overboard is lovely!!! Thanks for the swatch! Do you find play date a bit too barbie?
Yup, totally need to add Essie Armed and ready to my must have list! WOW!
I love the swatches. I’m not a fan of armed and ready myself but I did purchase go overboard. I have to say I dont see the teal. Upon first application it looks like an ever green color on my skin. I was expecting more blue lol I’m not totally dissatisfied with this color but a dusty dark blue that has no shimmer in it would be perfect… Im hopeful I know lol.
The reason I observe this web site is mainly because I do believe you
really do normally offer a somewhat different leaning on issues to
a lot of other internet sites so congratulations! !
