Forever Yummy

Formula: Nice consistency
Finish: Rich red creme
Coverage: 2 coats
Price: $9
Notes: I am a huge fan of rich red cremes like Essie Forever Yummy. This is darker than a typical red but not quite to that oxblood point. It's a classic shade that belongs in every polish collection.

Wicked

Find Me An Oasis

Formula: Nice consistency
Finish: Pale blue creme
Coverage: 2 coats
Price: $9
Notes: In the bottle, Find Me An Oasis appeared more off-white to me, but once it was on the nail I could clearly see it was a pale blue. This is a beautiful work-appropriate shade.

Licorice

Formula: Nice consistency
Finish: Black creme
Coverage: 1 coat
Price: $9
Notes: Licorice is just that. It's jelly-like formula gives it a little bit of a squishy appearance. I love how it looks on the nail. It feels so chic!

Mooning

Notes: Mooning is a medium, blue leaning gray. It's a versatile creme that would look fab on anyone.

Essie Gel Setter

Essie Gel Setter is a gel-like top coat. It dries with a high gloss finish. All swatches featured in both posts were finished with Gel Setter. While I like this top coat, I didn't find it to be quick drying. With all of the glossy, quick dry top coats available, I don't see myself purchasing this in the future. If they were to change the formula to be quick drying, I would use this regularly.
