Essie Getting Groovy Winter 2016 4PC Mini Set Swatches + Review

I'm going to be honest, I almost didn't purchase Essie's Getting Groovy Winter 2016 4PC Mini Set when I first spotted it, because it felt a little too far-out for my festive taste. In fact, I passed it up on countless shopping occasions before finally caving. And you know what? I am so glad that I did, because this quartet is a true conglomeration of funky holiday treasures that I have fallen so hard for. See the prettiness for yourself below!

Satin Sister is a Deep Teal Creme. Typically, I'm not wild about teals, but this one is giving it to me! Satin Sister is a plush peacock that is rich and lush from the first stroke. Formula here is such a treat to work with - it's smooth, flowy, and reaches opacity in a snap! Plot twist: this one doesn't stain upon removal - natch! This is 2 coats.

Getting Groovy is a Sparkling Gold Shimmer . Looking at the bottle alone, I was poised to dislike Getting Groovy due to how yellow-toned it looked; then I applied it to my nails and died a little. The shimmer, the shine! It literally looks like molten gold metal on the nails - precisely what everyone needs for the holidays! Formula here was flawless! Fully opaque in two swipes, and pure decadence to work with. This is 2 coats.

Party On A Platform is a Deep Red Creme. Cheers to brick red polishes that feel festive without falling into the typical classic red category that pops up in every. single. fall. and. winter. collection. Consider that my rant for the day, m'kay? Party On A Platform is the perfect red for giving a subtle nostalgic nod to the 70s while feeling fresh for holiday 2016! This one falls juuust shy of being a OCW, but still works if you're looking for an easy paint job - reaching opacity in just two simple strokes without incident. This is 2 coats.

Ready To Boa is a Burgundy Brown with Iridescent Shimmer. Talk about yum! I liiive for colors like this - those rich shades that make you covet cozy sweaters and roaring fireplaces. And this particular one? Dyiiing over its pretty. Ready To Boa reminds me of hot chocolate, and it's formula is every bit as scrummy. This baby right here was opaque in 1 coat, but yeah, I made it a double for an ultra-decadent finish. This is 2 coats.

AVAILABILITY: ULTA.

PRICE: $18.00 for the 4PC Mini Set; or $9.00 per each full-size bottle.
