Roller Coaster

My lemming for Essie's Mojito Madness is still going strong, but I've bought myself a wee cheap green polish to tide me over until I hit the US and get to run into Sephora for the first time ever. I mentioned it briefly in this haul post and am pretty happy with the quality and opaque nature of essence Roller Coaster!

Roller Coaster is a mid-toned green that has the most subtle green sparkles, and though I could've done with another coat in these shots it applies with ease (I am a fan of fat wide brushes like the essence ones!) It's not the perfect Kelly Green/Starbucks shade that I can't get out of my head (seriously, look at the Essie swatched...) but it will do for now.

I like my nail polishes to generally have a bit of kick to them, and this definitely fits the bill in that regard! For a mere $2.75 I don't think you can go wrong with these essence polishes, they are always great value and an easy way to satisfy a strong lemming for a specific shade.

      It is really pretty, and for such a cheap price it's nice to be able to dabble in lots of shades :)

    Such a pretty shade! I don't think I own a similar shade; I have a lot of taupes and wines though. I'm quite keen to try this one plus it's so affordable!

      Taupes, love it! I am really digging neutrals at the moment, I think because I'm choosing one to pair with a glitter for my wedding :)

    Such a solid green! I love tones like that all year round actually! I haven't used any of their polishes in a long time!

      Solid is such a good term for this! Greens and darker blues work all year round for me too, love a good cool tone ;)

    I know how you feel, because I was completely cash-strapped when I fell in love with Mojito Madness and just took the plunge at the time. Wish I had known about this lemming in advance because I could have sent you one with the Maybelline Tattoo package! If you don't find it in the States, let me know. :)
