I swatched these satin finish polishes in pairs, starting with the cool hues. Two coats of the light blue Sea the Sights went on my index and middle fingers. The pastel green Yespadrilles went on the other two digits; three coats on my ring finger and two on my pinky. Sea the Sights is a creme, while Yespadrilles has a very slight shimmer. Very slight.
The two pinks complete the set. Soft as Sand, the pastel one, is on my index and middle fingers; this was two coats. Hip-Tide, the more pigmented one, is on my ring (three coats) and pinky (two). Both of these have shimmer; Soft as Sand is on the very subtle side, like Yespadrilles, while Hip-Tide shows it more.
They are a more colorful, less neutral bunch than the original Cashmere Matte collection, but I sure wouldn't call them bright. Maybe I could make a case for Hip-Tide, at least in comparison to the other three here. I do like the finish of these, but wish they actually were bright.
Essie doesn't always understand the meaning of bright or neon. The green and blue are very pretty though. I still need to get a couple of the original colors.
ReplyDeleteThey are very pretty shades all of them!!
ReplyDeleteAll are pretty but not bright ;)
ReplyDeleteDespite the brightness paradox :P those are some really pretty colours ^_^
ReplyDeleteThese are pretty and I like the finish :-)
ReplyDeleteOOoooohhhhh These are nice. :)
ReplyDeleteHow does the formula on these compare to the first cashmere mattes released?
ReplyDeleteJust went to Ulta for my birthday gift ($18 lipgloss?! *dies*) and they had Hip-tide and Yespadrilles on clearance so I snatched them up. ^_^ Shame they didn't have Sea The Sights. Ah well.
