It’s not even 2022 yet, but today I’m reviewing the new Essie Valentine’s 2022 Collection! This is a 6 piece collection of creams and shimmers. I purchased these from Fred Meyer, but they are also available at Target. Read on for swatch photos, or watch the video for comparisons.
Love-Note Worthy
‘Love-Note Worthy’ is a “deep crimson red with blue undertones,” and is stunning!! I think this is now my new fave red. It was opaque in 1-2 coats, and was so easy to apply. A definite must have red!
Quill You be Mine
‘Quill You be Mine’ is a “white with grey undertones and refined silver shimmer.” This polish was very interesting. Is it green? Is it off white? Check out my comparisons to see how it compares to other polishes in these color tones.
Pretty in Ink
‘Pretty in Ink’ is a gorgeous “soft pink with blue undertones and refined silver shimmer.” When I first saw this, I thought of Essie ‘Pink Diamond,’ but I forgot to compare it in the video. Send me an IG DM if you’re interested in that comparison. This was a two coater, and I really liked this one a lot!
Lips are Sealed
‘Lips are Sealed’ is a “blush pink creme with blue undertones.” I’m a huge fan of blue undertones, so this is another fave. This is a one coat wonder, and is pure perfection!
Under Locket & Key
‘Under Locket & Key’ is a “tarnished, shimmering silver with refined gold and silver pearls.” This is my fave from the collection! It applies like butter and glows on the nail.
Respond with a Kiss
‘Respond with a Kiss’ is my least favorite from this collection. I’m not a fan of how it looks on my skin tone. It’s a “neutral creme with pink undertones,” and was opaque in 1-2 coats.
