Essie Retro Grade Shades Collection



Hey guys! I have a gorgeous little duo to review for you today! This is essie's Retro Grade Collection. This is an Ulta exclusive collection, and it's super pretty! I'll have a few comparisons at the end! Let's get to swatchin'!

First up is 'Keep Calm...'. This is a gorgeous sheer polish. I really like this as a subtle mani, this would also look amazing for a French tip making the base a little more interesting.  I did three coats.

Next up is 'And Mercury On'.  This is a dark purple with a strong blue shift. This is stunning! I did two coats and it was completely opaque!

Okay so now I have some comparisons for you guys. This is for 'Keep Calm...' I have two to compare and they are both China Glaze. I have China Glaze 'Let Your Twilight Sparkle' and 'Good Luxe Charm'. 

So here is all of them next to each other. The index and pinkie fingers are Essie 'Keep Calm..' the middle finger is China Glaze 'Let Your Twilight Sparkle' and on the ring finger is China Glaze 'Good Luxe Charm'. So for all of these I did three coats, and I have to say China Glaze 'Good Luxe Charm is about identical to Essie 'Keep Calm..'. But China Glaze 'Let Your Twilight Sparkle' Looks dull in comparison.
So if you really like this color and can't find Essie I would go with China Glaze 'Good Luxe Charm' instead.

 Hopefully you found this helpful and I will talk to you guys in my next blog! :)
