For those that can’t wait until the Chanel Roberston limited edition nail polishes to release or don’t want to splurge $25 a bottle, here’s an option. Essie released the Neon Collection
obviously inspired by the Chanel Roberston colors: Rodeo Drive (purple), Melrose (pink), LA Sunset (coral) and LA Sunrise (yellow), I can’t say the colors are exact since I don’t own the Essie but they look very similar and for $7 a bottle that’s quite a steal. Or if you’re feelin’ all four colors, you can get the full size 4-pack for $19.99
or the mini 4-pack for $15.00. I haven’t seen the collection in stores yet, I am going to order a pack to compare with my Chanel. When it arrives, I’ll do a comparison. The Essie nail polishes are released for summertime hence the names, Short Shorts (pink), Mini Shorts (orange), Bermuda Shorts (purple) and Shorty Pants (yellow).
Which Essie Neon Collection shade is your favorite? Would you splurge on the Chanel or save on the Essie?

I will be waiting for your comparison, I am inclined to get them for myself. Are they supposed to be opaque, or are the Chanel ones opaque?

i love the colors!

I mix my own colors and so excited about the color I have on now. While the Chanel color is nice, I’d rather spend the $25 on colors to mix a shade myself.

I love the yellow and I’m wearing on my blog. http://www.city-itis.blogspot.com. I got it in a mall in my area in a Trade Secret Salon.

i’m wearing the bermuda shorts color now, it looks super cute on! a tiny bit brighter that it is in the bottle, definitely opaque.
