Swatches & comparisson: Essence Girls on tour LE polishes

I recently saw this LE in our store and I got all 4 polishes.
 This is what Essence says about them:
Ready for take off? Absolutely! With these four trendy and long-lasting nail polish colors. Rosé, purple, pink and green add a touch of color on your nails and thanks to their practical size, they’re perfect when you’re on tour with the girls.
And here's what I think of them:
  •  01 Voyage, voyage

This polish dries soooo fast! I mean it, I waited no more then 5min between the coats, and that is that. On the picture you see three coats, no top coat. The applicaation was okay, but when I applied it, you could see streaks, but everything leveled out durig drying. This is the perfect bubblegum pink creme. It's so girly, I love it!
I compared it to the following:
Catrice Sweets for my sweets(pointer), Essie Knockout pout(middle), Sally Hansen Countess creme(ring) and Sally Hansen Prism frost(pinky)

Catrice is similar, but lighter, Essie is way brighter, Countess creme is more muted and darker and Prism frost is actually pretty close. It's a tad darker.
  • 02 Go, sightseeing

This one has a bit runny formula. I've had some problems with the application because of this. I used three coats, no top coat on the pictures. It might be a good idea to use four, since I could still see a bit nail line IRL. Luckily this dries fast. It's pink with blue/purple metallic shimmer. I really like this colour!
I found these ones similar:
essence-girls-on-tour-go-sightseeing-manhattan-57q-essence-most-wanted-color-club-ultra-violet-sally-hansen-vibe-creme-comparison
 Manhattan 57Q(pointer), which is more pink, but the shimmer is almost the same, Essence Most wanted(middle), that is way lighter, Color club Ultra violet(ring finger), that is actually completelly different in the colour and the shimmer, and Sally Hansen Vibe creme(pinky), that is close, but more vibrant.


  • 03 Hop on, hop off!

This isn't accurate colour, but I just couldn't capture it =/ The colour is actually more cherry. Not completelly red, but going there. You see two coats on the picture, and another amazing polish!
The colour is actually very similar to Essence Yummy gummy(from Jelly baby LE), but that one is a jelly and Hop on, hop off! is a creme. I was looking and I couldn't find any other polish similar to this one in my stash.
  • 04 Tickets, please!
Essence-girls-on-tour-ticket-please-swatch
It was so hard to capture to colour accuratelly =/
This are two coats, no top coat. When I was applying this polish I was suprised, but not in a nice way. I love the colour and application, but when I was polishing a bristle from the brush came off and stuck to my nail. I've never expirienced anything like that before! I hope it was just this one =/ Other than that, everything was fine. The polish goes on smoothly and 1thicker coat could be enough, but I did two thinner. It's a bit lighter in the bottle than on the nails, but the colour is still nice, a darker turquoise - green creme.
When I saw it in store I was sure, I have a colour at home that's the same. Guess what? I was wrong! The closest two I have are Sinful colours Rise and shine and Essence Green grass.
Essence-girls-on-tour-ticket-please-essence-green-grass-sinful-rise-and-shine-comparison

Green grass(on my ring finger) is darker and more muted, so they aren't all that close. Rise and shine(on my point finger) is lighter and it has shimmer. I'm glad I got this one, since I don't have anything like it.

All in all, these dry extremely fast, have an amazing formula and normal brush. I was surprised, since they are quite unique  - they are similar to some of the polishes I have, but no dupes here. If you ask me, I'd say get them if you can! =)

  1. Zeleni izgleda prav luštno na tebi, čeprav mene v živo ni nič prepričalo.
