Essie In The Cab-ana

Hi you guys! Hope this week is treating you well, and you're hanging on! We're already half-way to the weekend. :-)

Wrapping up the Essie Resort 2013 Collection today, I've got the last of the set of four polishes to share with you. In the Cab-ana is a cool-toned bright blue with slight hints of dustiness and aqua in a creme finish.






This was a challenging color to capture exactly right, with the hints of dustiness and aqua being quite shy. In real life, this is just a shade more muted and more teal than what you see in the pictures. In The Cab-ana has a great formula, applying onto the nails easily in thin and even coats. It's also quite pigmented, so you need just the standard two coats for opaque coverage. Just a note since it's blue - I'm happy to report that there's no staining upon removal. :-)

Now that I've tried all the colors, I'm thrilled by how much I love this collection. Each color is a lovely and well-done take on its respective color family. My favorites are In The Cab-ana and First Timer, but I think the whole collection is really quite beautiful. I'd love to know what you think of this collection. What are your favorites and will any be making it into your stash?

You can find In The Cab-ana on Essie.com, at your local nail salons and drug stores, and at big name retailers like Target and Macy's for $8 for 0.46 fl oz.

    1. Hi Sherri! Yes, it's just slightly more teal and muted, but it's definitely noticeably so in real life. In my pictures, you can see that it's just a little teal, but maybe only because I told you it's so. I think you would really this one! :-)
