I love how your shirt is like a plaid interpretation of your hair!
Haha! I'm glad you noticed!!
I was going to say the same thing !!
I’m glad I wasn’t the only one that noticed. Lol
The Gel Couture line actually looked pretty accurate when the theme was the 70s. I grew up during that decade, and there was an evolution toward darker colours after the bright neon in-your-face colours that were popular during the 60s, and away from the natural softer more neutral colours that became associated with older people. We were wearing darker, earthier, more saturated colours, and there wasn't really a correlation with seasons.
Oh I love that! 😍💚🤎
Anyone else just like listening to Kelli talk? I enjoy her reviews and she has such a lovely voice :)
I do LOVE listening to you describe the colors, girl you are amazing! I can tell you have a true artist mind, do you paint? Your descriptions of polishes you even claim you don't know how to describe, really paint a beautiful picture on what the color truly looks like. It also makes me so more aware of color, like grape purple or pretty pink, probably isn't the very best way to describe colors! Thank you for being so amazing!
Chevron trend is nice for me. I’m a “mature” woman and my skin tone does well with the blue side of reds (winter colors). It could be nice as a regular every day standard for me. I’m old enough that the pales and especially the pinks look a bit silly at times.
I'm a guy that has painted my nails with clear polish for many years. I decided to start using color, and I'm having a lot of fun with it. Diving into the nail polish genre of UA-cam, yours is the only channel I've subscribed to. I particularly love your color descriptions and watching how you paint your nail seemingly perfect every time gives me a goal to shoot for, so I don't end up with nail polish on everything besides my nails!
Your entire look for this video was just awesome. The eye make up the hair color of the shirt it just worked together
Oh gosh thank you so much!!
Whenever I get a wonky brush I find that cleaning it with some polish thinner helps to smooth it out.
Ooh I've got to try that trick!
Essie has been my fave for cremes for several years now! I haven't tried expressie (Sally Hansen's quick dry seems similar in quality and cheaper) or "gel" couture (honestly this one is probably just because the bottle shape would store weird lol). But their regular line is perfect and I usually get 2-coat opacity in the colors I have! Very cute for a basic mani or skittles💚
Honestly, the Sally Hansen quick dry is very similar in quality to the Expressi polishes, and I feel like the packaging is better quality. The Expressi line frequently has wonky brushes like Kelli ran into in this video, and it makes application frustrating. The regular Essi cream line is lovely though. :)
I love the regular Essie line! The formulas are great and that wider brush is perfection. 👌
I love all the blues, purples and fushia colors.
So I love your swatch and review videos, but I find myself getting excited to see your hair and makeup looks. Always PERFECT!
Ooh, Frilly Lilies and both of the greens are totally calling to me! 😍
Your shirt matches your hair perfectly!!
Haha yesss I couldnt resist it!!
I bought Natural Connection based on other videos I have watched, and it is, in fact, A-mazing. Now, I am thinking I might go back for more from that collection. Those oranges…I love them all together.
They really are gorgeous!
I love love your swatches! I look forward to watching your videos. I have found great nail colors because of you.
I’ve always loved Essie. If nothing else they’re really accessible/available and have a massive colour range for cremes.
The Gel Couture line is excellent in terms of quality!! The twisted bottle shape and brush stem to me symbolize a fashion dress swirling and twirling in the wind... and the brush stem makes it so that polish doesn't drip down the stem as much during application. Functional AND metaphor-ic!!
So much respect for the amount of work this video probably took
I love watching your reviews, seeing which collection came up with which color story even if i wear polish i made myself. As of what color i wear on any given week depends on my mood or the outfit i want to match the most
Last week was dark teal ( like your hair) my favorite color for my birthday,now it close to very peri, pantone 2022
Really happy to see you searching Essies again! I love their new-ish brushes and their formula has improved immensely
Such a huge difference from when I used to use them back in the day haha! I'm really glad to see it.
Just an absolute gorgeous big collection 😍😍😍 Your makeup and hair 🤩🤩🤩🥺🥺🥺
Oh gosh thank you 😜😜😜
I agree with the color story for Swoon in the Lagoon. It does look like the colors of a spring garden. I can't get over the strange brush of the expressie...I only have the 3 sheer ones though. I absolutely love the final comparison. That is so satisfying to see. I personally think Swoon in the Lagoon was the best one.
Haha yeah it's always so satisfying to see a ton of polishes in a comparison chart 😅
I’ve seen Bikini So Teeny and Sk8 With Destiny next to each other and your guess was close! Sk8 with Destiny is the more purple version of Bikini So Teeny basically! I know because they were different enough I had to resist buying Sk8 With Destiny 😭😂
Willow in the Wind is that 1970’s green. It is perfection. 🤗
I own Paisley all the Way. It is beautiful! The gel couture line is my favorite. Right now I’m wearing Take me to Thread. One of my favorites.
It really does feel like a great quality polish!
I love this huge swatch and review, and the chance to look at all the Essies across the three lines. I'm a huge Gel Couture fan, and I agree, the colors/seasons are always confusing with that line. The Gel Couture Summer '22 makes more sense for the season; lots of shimmer and brightness. TFS! ❤🧡💛💚💙💜💅
I got excited for a minute when you said Essie is now cruelty-free. They've always been on my do not buy list. Unfortunately, there's still a lot of conflicting information online.
I was wondering the same thing.
I started googling it as soon as Kelly said they were cruelty-free becuase I was sure they weren't. As you said there is a lot of conflicting information online.. My takeaway is that the new releases are vegan and cruelty free but they are still under the umbrella of L'Oréal which is not cruelty free.
Wow! That's an epic amount of swatching. Kudos, girl! I can very much relate your reading vs pronunciation of words thing 😅 (tho I am totally giggling at the reindeer part lol). Loving the shirt your rocking for this vid too btw. 💜
I like the last purple one!
I have to say that I love the oranges and greens. I love the last collection the best and the greens in the first collection. I absolutely love your hair and that shirt. Goes perfect with your hair. Love these videos so much. Every time I see you have posted, I can’t click on it fast enough.
Every shade of green in all 3 collections were awesome. Agreed last collection more autumnal and first collection best of the lot. Tfs
Wonderful review. I will try Essie again… especially the colour Swoon in the Lagoon. Thanks 😊
Love all of the colors. I feel that they made some colors for people like me that don't go with seasons just go for what they want. Great video!
Haha fair enough, I think I might be in the minority with my seasonal colors!
Such beautiful spring colours. I agree that the Gel Couture line has very strong fall vibes, but I love the colours and would buy them for late August and September. My favourite is the soft, sage green - Natural Connection (?) and I am going to get it for sure. Thanks so much for your excellent review.
Hi Kelli! Interesting collections. I loved the great coverage in the majority of them, and those greens are lovely. Thanks for revisiting Essie. It made me want to try again their classic colors, such as Ballet slippers. I wonder if their formula has been updated as well, and whether the brushes have been updated too. I wonder what Queen Elizabeth thinks about that X-D
Can confirm, I have a Ballet Slippers with a wide brush and decent formula! Got it in 2021. Other classics like Mint Candy Apple, Wicked, Bikini So Teeny, Off Tropic are similar stories! All of the ones I mentioned are clean two-coaters (you could totally wear Off Tropic in one, Wicked can get away with one if you wear a topper) and I love the coverage.
@@flaminghorsebackrider6969 Wow, it's great to know that! Thanks for sharing! 💕
That dusty red orange instantly made me think of Essie Playing Koi and now I’m wondering how close it is to that. Thanks for all the swatches - these big reviews must be so much work!
Kelli, I think the Pattern Play collection looks beautiful for spring and summer 2022. I was just browsing some online stores' catalogs in search of dresses, in preparation for a commencement ceremony I will be attending in two weeks. Many of these dresses had patterns consisting of little flowers of intense colors on a white background.
Having said that, I oppose buying a dress to use only for three months. Although, maybe having a matching nail polish shade could make people keep their dress for longer? Anyway, great review. I don't know why I am rambling so much today. Have a lovely day!
Ooh, it sounds like I need to go shopping. I would wear a dress like that anytime of the year that is warm enough for dresses.
I love 1 coat creams so I'm excited for alot of these!
SAME! I always tell myself I'll wear two coats anyway but I just love the convenience of grabbing a one coater when I'm in a rush!
omg yeah... it kinda does look like the créme version of "bikini so teeny" it's honestly my fave to pair up with flakie holo taco, or just on its own, mostly because it has silver flecks in it, making it a kinda unique polish to my collection.
and of course, another amazing review Kelli, I actually love to throw a swatcher review of yours on when I paint my nails, and I just love that you aren´t "brutally honest" but just honest and pointing out things about the polish that users may not hear from the brand itself. love your videos, lots of hugz
Natural Connection, Willow in the Wind😍
I recently tried esseies new polishes and I’m in love! Great new formula, and the brush is fantastic!
Electric geometric and Chevron trend remind me of the nail color Drew Barrymore wore in the movie Music and Lyrics. I know it is a total left field out of nowhere reference, but her nail color was so pretty and springy pink-red-coral it just stands out to me as a perfect spring fun color. But if anyone knows a what color she wore I'd love the help.
Also, Kelli, have you tried Smith & Cult's Gay Ponies Dancing in the Snow? I know you reviewed the brand and didn't like it, but this polish is so fun.
My favorite was Natural Connection, I feel like it's the perfect muted green I've been looking for!
That one is gorgeous!
I loved that one too. It would look so pretty matte.
I loved the gel spring 2022. I feel like they are all Autumn shades. I might get them for fall.
The regular one of these is my favourite too.
All Ramped Up looks really--REALLY--close to my all-time favorite fountain pen ink, J Herbin's Poussière de Lune (Moondust Purple). I always have a fountain pen inked up with it. Now I need to get the polish to see if I can match my nails with my ink!
I love the Essie Swoon in the Lagoon. That has been one of my favorite polishes of late!!
I absolutely love the Expressie line! I own most of them. So excited to watch your review!
I'm wearing a dark fuchsia color. Holo but dark just the same. But I love the first collection best for Spring. I will probably pick up several for base coats and color blocking. I love th oranges.
The Gel Couture top coat is my top cot of choice. I get long lasting manicures when I pair it with Orly Bonder
Does the Orly bonder damage/color your nails? I’m going to need to buy a new base coat soon and I can’t seem to find one that doesn’t make my fragile nails break 😣
@@c.m.880 I don’t have damage with the bonder. I did at first, but that was because I was picking at it. I was also not using a nail/cuticle oil as frequently. Finding an oil that worked for me took some time as not all oils are equal. My mom also has the damage from using bonder and she uses the same oil I do, so I’m working with her right now to find a oil that works for her.
Have you ever used Olive Ave Polish? These polishes are fabulous!! Self leveling n gorgeous colors.
Beautiful colors 💙
Loved this vid and I really wish I could find the Gel Couture collection a little cheaper because even in the spring I am always autumn shade obsessed.
You're right. Those gel coutures are so autumnal and gorgeous. They'd be a Fall hit. They sure are pretty and make me anxious for Fall. It's never too early - though I wouldn't wear those colors now. Lol 🍁🍂🎃
Haha honestly same! I just love fall colors. But only in the fall 😆
Hi! I wanted to throw out there that Essie may not be cruelty free, depending on the definition that is used. Cruelty Free Kitty has them listed in the grey area (unclear on their policies), and they are owned by L'Oréal. Hopefully they can confirm their policies!
Ooh thanks for letting me know!!
@@KelliMarissa it’s so hard to keep track! I’ve been working on buying cruelty free for a couple years, and it’s tricky. I appreciate all the work you do on your videos, and they’re always so helpful! I’ve been painting my nails to help with my anxiety, and I love that you talk about mental health on your other channel as well. 💚
I personally like the regular collection best. I don’t like the Expressie ones either but I do think even though the color story of that one is a little random, it really catches the vibe of the clothing and graffiti you’d see in a skater park.
A lot of these colors remind me of fall rather than spring. But so pretty.
Yeah I'll have to agree with you on that one!
Boat Loads of love would be my fav if it was just More of what it was supposed to be - a great one to try to dupe or improve on so you see that blue shimmer tfs
I love your swatch & reviews. Also I adore the shirt you're wearing that's a split plaid! I've never seen one like that!
Oh gosh thank you! I randomly saw it in a store and just had to have it haha!
SO glad you finally reviewed Essie! Thank you! This helps a lot!!! Enjoying the Cuccio you reccommended and curious to try some Orly 2022 soon from another review. Thank you Kelli! Love the regular Essie, haven't tried the Expressie b/c I really like the Sally Hansen Insta Dry insteadand I hated the "Gel Couture." Thank you again for all your honest insight!
I love colors like "Natural Connection" 🥰
Will a review of the new Mooncat polishes be coming soon?
I'm not planning to review them at the moment!
Even though the last collection labeled spring, does look more fall, like you said. Maybe released now because some places have fall/winter like Australia
Nice job. Too bad I've got every color under the sun already lol The twisted stem on the brush supposedly stops it from running down. That's what the add said when they first came out.
I like the shade Paisley All the Way. It's so captivating ☺️💖
You are not alone on the reindeer thing. I thought Narwhals were imaginary creatures up until a couple years ago. I’m 41! 🤦🏽♀️
I like the color story of the original Essie line, unique collection but so pretty.
I thought narwhals were imaginary until this moment! LOL!!
@@KelliMarissa 😆 no judgement! You learned something new today.
Row with the flow reminds me of Yes I Canyon
Heyy Kelli !!!! Awesome video 🧿💜💜 looking forward to try some shades !!!💜💜💜 I really love "Sk8 With destiny"💜💜
Yay I'm glad you enjoyed 💜💜💜💜
Wonderful review
Your eye shadow is divine 👁
Oh gosh thank you haha!!
I thought most of these were perfect for Fall instead of Spring. The Gel Couture line lasts longer than the regular line. I haven’t bought many in the Expressie line because the ones I’ve tried didn’t hold up well.
A cobertura destes esmaltes é ótima.
The Essie Gel Courture line is GORGEOUS, but I'm going to wait until fall to buy a couple of those. Not sure why they released those as spring colors. Odd. The Essie Espressie "Daily Grind", I have that one thinking it would be a good spring cream instead of a white and its more of a fall color. I think I like it, just not right now.
I'm so here for the first and the gel review. They look amazing 👀👀❤️❤️❤️ The gel one definitely is giving me Fall vibes 🧡🧡 The blue one with the expressive one does give me bikini so tini vibes as well 💙💙💙 I love the look, hair and outfit, it goes so well together 💙💙💙
Still catching up on a few of your videos and I'm not sure if you'll see this but I absolutely LOVE how genuine you are! I look forward to hearing your answers/thoughts at the end and this one was especially adorable! 🥰 Also, there's something so soothing about your voice I could listen to you for hours which is something that slightly disappoints me about the podcast... The episodes are so short! 😅 I know you're watching LOTR in smaller sections but I love longer podcasts because I can slowly listen to them a little each day therefore it takes me about a week to finish and then a new one is uploaded. However with yours I'm done in two days and am then so sad I have to wait for another. 😭 If you do see this sorry for the slight rant. 🤭🤦🏽 Love your content!
Cremes are classic! I wish people didn't write them off so often, a good cream is so gorgeous.
I usually hate green but I've been on such a green kick lately...Those sage greens are lookin' gooood lol.
I think so many people are eager to get away from the mainstream that they forget about a classic creme! Personally it's my favorite finish for doing nail art!
Love this shirt!! 👌
I love essie Gel Couture couture formula because it lasts super long without chipping, but I really really hate the spiraly bottle. It's the worst to store and takes tons of space! Also their colors are more neutral (aka boring) than the other lines, so I stick to the original line. Thanks for the great review!
gasp - I love Willow in the Wind so much, I just dropped my knitting.
I really loved alot of these. Two from the "gel" ones I can't even remember the colors. Still, it is so many things I found out to late in life. One thing I can think for sure is my aunt's name wasn't "Aunt Dimple" no one actually told me her name was Cynthia I swear I was in my late twenties and never asked. Lol
The application is very easy and I love the self leveling, but I get bubbles every single time. It gets thick fast. Also, I stop using speed setter topcoat, because it shrinks the polish.
I think if you hadn't mentioned that there were 4 GREENS, I would have cried...lol. Also, I liked almost ALL of these! Thank you so much Kelli! 💚
I live in Canada and we didn't get Willow in the Wind. It hurts my heart so bad. 💔 I'm still gonna search for it though! Never gonna give it up!
Thank you for the review! I don't buy Essie polishes often but people always gift me bottles!
Would love to see a review of the China Glaze Jurassic World collection! Would make my day!
Haha that's too funny, everyone always gifts me Essie too. I guess because it's just so readily available! I'll def be reviewing the CG shades soon - maybe next weekend!
I'm from Finland and we have raindeers in Lapland. Sorry to inform you that we eat them...
Oh my gosh lmao I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry at that 😂😂
This is super-interesting, Annukka!
I live in Australia, but my favourite thing about visiting Finland/other Nordic countries is eating reindeer 😅🙈 It's so delicious!
Me Certain purchase on light blue pastel colour Essie nail polish is wanting to see swatch on how it gives a way differ look that is clear
i only buy the regular essies, but i appreciate this massive swatch & review! i did buy some of the boatloads collection.. i'm a sucker for greens & browns. they get me every time. i just found a new one called Tropic Low and omg 💚 🤩
Loving that there's four greens cos I 💗 green polish! And orange too.
I've come to really like Essie recently, not tried the Expressie line, the brushes just look so awkward....
Yeah I thought they were all messed up the first time I reviewed expressie hahaha
a beautiful video kelly 💜 and beautiful colors 😍
Glad you enjoyed!!
@@KelliMarissa thank you kelli ♥️😍
Frilly lily reminds me of a tiger lily flower.
I own Essie fast dry shades the periwinkle one and the bright almost neon orange shade and it’s my favorite I weared it when my mom bought it for me from the store cause I was sick and had to stay home I can never find that brought gorgeous blue at my target which releases all the collections before Ulta does so if anyone is looking for them I’d head to target before Ulta u should totally check out the salon perfect dippin dots collection it’s out of this world good they went seven free and the collection is only available at Walmart but they are totally neon and it’s so beautiful when I wear them I loved the whole Essie collection I own two of the shades but I want more lol 😂 I love their new collection the first one felt more spring to me second one was odd but still loved the colors the last collection reminded me a lot of fall shades
Hi Sweetheart.
My Favourites Are:
#1 Ripple Reflect💙
#2 Paisley All The Way 💜
#3 Left On Shred
#4 Streetwear N Tear
#5 Bearer Of Rad News🧡
#6 Electric Geometric
#7 Curbside Pick Me Up💛
I think all the oranges would be a fan skittle. Here is my fall collection with the gel one.
Ohhhyes I love a good monochromatic skittle!!
Hi Kelli! I am just recently into nail polishes and very new on what steps i should take to get a perfect nail color finish. I learned a lot watching your video on how to apply and work the brush on the nail. I have to ask if you applied base coat or top coat to your nails when you do them and also, when you apply second and third coats, do you wait for the first coat to dry up or do you apply coats while the nail polish is still fresh? Any feedback and guidance you can give me would be very helpful! 🙏
I'm confused on calling these Essie's Spring collections because Swoon in the Lagoon was released last November and Pattern Play was released in December. The Spring collections are Spring 2022, Fashion Fete and Target Movin' & Groovin" It would explain why these are mostly darker colors. With that said, thanks for reviewing these!
Oh man did I mess that up?? Haha! That's the info I was given! Sorry about that!
@@KelliMarissa No worries, just thought you would want to know! Thanks again for your beautiful swatches and for all of your hard work getting these videos out!
Love the vid! You know I’m surprised there’s no SINFUL COLORS spring collection. Have they really not come out with anything new since the November holiday collection?
Hmm I haven't seen anything new from them yet! But I don't think they do many seasonal releases! Usually it seems a bit random haha!
Kelli Marissa true! But a nail polish company not having a new collection for half a year? Feels sus lol
Orange is my favorite color and vermillion my favorite shade so those vibrant red/orange colors are right up my alley! I'm not a big fan of those putty greens and now that I'm playing The Sims 3 again, I'm seeing a lot of those dirty greens and I like them less and less. I also like that vibrant blue from the Essie Classic line.
Can you do swatches from Loud Lacquers 2 new collections next?? 🙏🏼
Yes coming soon for sure!!
Omg you had me doubting reindeer for a second there😆
As for the word thing, I didn’t know how to pronounce epitome for a long time since I’d only read it before!
Haha! I always jokingly say "epi-tohm" in my head because it sounds hilarious to me for no reason 🤣🤣
Where is that shirt from? I need that in my weird plaid shirt collection!
