Essie Roll With It Assortment

I should purchase nail polish approach sooner than I can swatch it, which suggests bottles get caught in my swatch bins and finally I’ve too many swatch bins, so I am going by them to maneuver issues to the “placed on nail wheels” cabinets. Typically I discover issues that catch my eye another time so earlier than they get moved, they get swatched, months and months (somtimes years?) after I purchased them. Right now’s instance: Essie’s Roll With It Assortment, which I consider was launched for fall 2020 and which I purchased in fall 2021. There are six shades, all shimmers with a scattering of holo microglitter: Sequin Scene, Roll With It, Let’s Boogie, Whirl ‘n’ Twirl, Lace Up & Get Down, and Head Over Wheels.

 

 

These seemed like two distinct trios to me, so I swatched them that approach, beginning with the extra impartial hues: Let’s Boogie (pewter-leaning silver), Roll With It (pinkish taupe-leaning silver), and Sequin Scene (brown-leaning orange). I did a sponge gradient with them on my index finger, then Let’s Boogie on my center, Roll With It on my ring, and Sequin Scene on my pinky. All of those had been three coats for me.

 

The distinction between the 2 silvers on the nails is extra delicate than it’s within the bottles. Roll With It’s a contact cooler-toned and appears to have a barely much less dense shimmer base. I want as a substitute of certainly one of these, they’d performed a deeper gray, not fairly charcoal. Or a teal.

 

I topcoated the gradient, and will have topcoated the opposite nails, as these do have a barely gritty look with out it. Nonetheless, the holo microglitter catches the sunshine very properly, distracting from what could be an excessive amount of brushstrokey-ness in any other case for among the shades.

 

Then I took the identical strategy with the extra vibrant shades. A gradient on my index, then Whirl ‘n’ Twirl (blue) on my center, Lace Up and Get Down (purple) on my ring, and Head Over Wheels (sizzling pink) on my pinky. Whirl ‘n’ Twirl was three coats and the others had been two. Once more, I added topcoat simply to the gradient. I beloved how these shades blended.

 

 

Lace Up & Get Down appeared to have the densest shimmer, with fewer holo bits exhibiting coloration in it that the others, although just a few did pop by at some angles.

 

 

The solar got here out whereas I had this final trio on, so I hustled over to the window and was rewarded with this glowy-ness:

 

If I had to decide on simply certainly one of these (and in some unspecified time in the future I’d, as I can not transfer into assisted residing sometime with hundreds of bottles of nail polish), it would be the blue, Lace Up & Get Down.
