Essie: Naughty Nautical

When I saw the promo pictures for Essie's Summer 2013, I knew I had to get Naughty Nautical.  I also was leaning towards Sunday Funday but I bought that one a few weeks afterwards.

The colour this season is green themed, and this is described as a marine green-blue with shimmer.  I love polish in general but my weakness is the fine shimmer types.  Especially if the fine shimmer kind of shows up, it doesn't have to be dramatic but I like the dimension it goes.  I'm pretty much trying to use my will power in trying not to pick up the entire collection.  To be honest, nothing else in the collection really caught my eye.  I would love the light blue shade, Rock the Boat, but it reminds me of Bikini So Teeny.  I think one is darker than the other but that's fine, I decided I don't need both.


Thoughts
Naughty Nautical applied very nicely.  I felt like one coat did a very nice job in terms of colour and being even.  I tried a second coat, which really evened out any of the streaks but that could be me.  I feel like if I expected to do one coat, I could have achieved that.  The overall finish is what I would assume to be semi-jelly like.  This is definitely not an Essie creme polish.
