Spring 2011 Essie Coat Azure, and new Essie bottle

Good afternoon! :-) Did you all survive the holidays? We had a great Christmas, but Sun. night we all ended up sick! Ugh. Everyone in the house spent yesterday in bed, including one of the dogs. Feeling better today, but not great. I'm sure most of you have read that Walmart is now carrying Essie. The bottles have changed. The front now has a sticker with Essie printed in white lettering. I know quite a few MUA's don't like the new bottle. Me? I personally don't care what bottles look like, if I like what I see inside the bottle. I saw the display the other day while I was in WM. They had a few of the new Spring 2011 colors out. Not the entire line, but there were at least five. The only one that appealed to me was Coat Azure, so I grabbed it. It's a pretty dusty blue with hidden blue shimmer. I used two coats, but could have actually gotten away with one. I had a bit of brush streak so I did two.





The next two pics. you are able to see the shimmer a little better.

Pics. of the new bottle style...Front...



The sides have the same lettering style as the old bottle.



What do you think of the new bottle? Like it,hate it, or doesn't really matter to you?

  1. I like the new bottle. It's not drastically different, but it shows the name "essie" more clearly and it's more clean cut. I like it. :)

  3. I'm not sure how I like the new bottle...I think I like everything except the sticker on the side of the lid. The color is great, though!

  4. This colour must make it's way to my wishlist! It's gorgeous :) Thanks for showing it!
    As for the bottle, I've never been a fan of the old ones - they prevented me from buying colours looking nea in the bottle alone LOL, I had to see swatches that made me swoon for me to buy it. I actually like the new design - still different, but a bit more classier - if only they'd make the lids more extravagant.

  5. Those are bottles have been sold in Japan for years already, I always wondered why Japan had better bottles:)(so the bottles are not new)

  8. Pretty polish. I think it is time to get in to Wally World and check it out. :D

    I don't really care what happened to the bottle, as long as the polish inside is fabulous.

  10. I don't care about the outside. I care what's on the inside. That's a gorgeous blue! Hope you all feel better. What a shame you and your family getting sick.

  11. Love the color! I don't really mind because it's not a BIG difference.. just a sticker. :) But I MUST GET THIS ONE!!

  12. I don't care one way or the other about the bottle so long as it's still sturdy and has the same brush.

    I do love the polish though! *adds to WL*

  13. Like the new one, but they have to print Essie on the bottle, instead of a sticker!

    And love the color :)

  14. Thanks for the comments everyone :-) It sounds like a lot of you don't mind the new bottles either. :-) I like both bottles. The old and the new, so it just doesn't matter to me. lol...Like I said before, it's what inside the bottle that I'm worried about. If I like the color, and the brush is good, then that's all that matters to me. :-)

  15. Didn't make a difference to me, and I'm wondering why the people who don't like the new sticker don't just remove it? Take off the sticker and "VOILA!" it's the old bottle.

    I saw these at Walmart and went nuts trying to decide what to buy. I wanted all of them, but narrowed it down to Aruba Blue and Beach Bum Blu. I consoled myself by thinking I can go back every week and get a new bottle or two until I have them all.

  16. Hi! I'm interested in buying this one, as I love the color. Last year I had bought 2 essie polishes, I had problem because the one didn't apply well at all, and both wanted ages to dry. Does this one apply well and easy? I don't want to waste my money if it doesn't.
