essie Nail Polish Original, 374 Saltwater Happy

Saltwater Happy is a beautifully unique powder blue that's kissed with periwinkle and grey. If you're familiar with polish it's as if Essie's Bikini So Teeny and Lilacism (the older blue version) and Zoya's Kristen had a love child. Fresh, fun and a total standout without being over-the-top or stark. It's undeniably flattering and in my opinion a year round type of shade. Like others have mentioned, for an Essie the formula is phenomenal.. maybe a tad thick but definitely preferable to some of their other thin watery formulas. It is fully opaque in two coats. I recommend this polish to all skin tones and complexions alike, it's an awesome shade that's completely worth it.

I freaking love this. My new favorite shade (one of my other favorites is SHXW Pacific Blue original formula). Paler and greyer than Bikini So Teeny. Completely on point for the summer pastel trend.
