Essie Mini 318 Resort Fling Swatch

Time for another quick swatch! I found this beautiful shade in TK Maxx for £1.99 so obviously I had to buy it.

This could be a wonderful peach jelly but alas; 'tis streaky. It does have a glass-like shine to it though and two coats is more than enough for full coverage. I found it very easy to apply, even though the formula is more on the liquid side. On the first coat it looks much darker than it is, but lights up on the second. I was worried when I first applied it because it was looking like it did not suit my skin tone, but that second coat sealed the deal; I love this shade. 

As long as you apply thin coats, this shade dries pretty quick. Normally I don't really care about drying times (or chipping times...if it chips that means an excuse to paint my nails again) but I did noticed how fast this one dried.

There are 3 other shades in this collection, an icy blue, a beige and a deep blue. For me this is easily the best in the collection but then again, I'm totally biased against peach/pink shades.
