I am lving the Essie Greenport. For some reason I have really been partial to blues and teals here lately.

Just wanted to thank you for your swatches. They really came in handy when I placed an order for some China Glazes!

Wow, those are really beautiful colors. Is Essie formaldehyde, toulene and DBP free? I just posted about these toxic chemicals that we need to avoid!

I know you don’t really go for the drugstore nail polishes, but I think these would be something for your collection, since they have different fruity smells when they dry. There is even a light blue in the collection.

It’s me again. I did a comparison of For Audrey and Greenport today and they’re not quite the same. For Audrey is lighter and chalkier, more a light turquoise and less a green. Greenport is easier to apply and lasts longer: I remember that For Audrey is very prone to chipping. They’re both three coaters.

Gosh I LOVE these colors! I am buying them all even though I have been on a Fall colors kick lately and am usually a die-hard Zoya fan. Speaking of.. I have a question! Can anyone PLEASEE tell me if Zoya has a dupe or interchangeable color with OPI’s Mink Muffs? I lovee mink muffs but would prefer to always buy zoya if I could. Those milk chocolate browns like Mink Muffs are so hot right now and I would lovee to mybe even see a comparison. If anyone can give me an answer- that would be awesome! Thanks :)

The Greenport looks great. I feel it’s combination between green and blue but it’s a more complex color. I just love it, definitely must try it.

So nice that your back blogging again. Your pictures are just the best. I love this collection. I don’t have too many of Essie. I think this brand is getting much better color wise. I for one am thrilled by more greens. They are my favorite polish color. My favorite shade on me is Poison Ivy by BB Couture. Sorry got off track. I wore Shelter Island and couldn’t stop looking at my nails all day. All three colors look lovely on you. Looking so forward to many more posts.

**and if only Essie wouldn’t reply to questions like “Will there be any more greens?” with “As you know, there is Essie Greenport…”**

lol, yb. I am so with you!

Welcome back!
I was on a no buy this summer as well, but I found Sag Harbor in a 50%off bin last weekend and could not resist. It’s am amazing color.

I’m so glad to have you back blogging! I love your posts, really.

I scooped up all three polishes in the North Fork collection from Ulta. My unexpected favorite is definitely Sag Harbor. Like Alison, it looked really nice with my extremely pale skin tone. I’ve worn Greenport more than once on my toes this summer.

By the way, I love your nails this length!

It’s nice to have you back Stephanie =)

This collection made me rethink Essie and purchase my first (3) bottles. I know everything about the brand is supposed to be dainty and feminine (from the bottle design to the tiny brush) but I actually love Essie. I bought my mom a ton of red/pink Essies because she fell in love with their signature jelly finish.

Now if only they would make more blues and greens… and if only Essie wouldn’t reply to questions like “Will there be any more greens?” with “As you know, there is Essie Greenport…”

Have you tried their newest collection yet? I’m especially pleased with the orange =)
