The Nail Files: Essie Greenport

This is from the recent Essie North Fork collection and another dupe of MAC Peppermint Patty. I love this. It compliments my skintone nicely and I’m very impressed with it staying power and I’ve put my hands through a lot over the past 48 hours.
Whilst it’s nice and summery, it did go on a lil’ streaky as I put on the first coat. I was a bit worried it’d turn out crap but with a bit of careful application, it redeemed itself and after 2 coats looked fab, with even coverage and with no streaks.
I’ve got high hopes that this will last me ’til the weekend with no blips.

    Loveaudrey – Thank you 🙂 Essie polishes are fab. The quality's really good. I order mine from http://www.transdesign.com I don't think int shipping is TOO high either (I order when I'm in NY).
