Have you seen Essie’s new Fall collection? It is inspired by Japan and to me, it’s just perfection. If I had all the money in the world, I would definitely buy the complete limited edition. But unfortunately, I don’t, so I had to make a choice.\u00a0I first decided to not buy anything, since I already own many fall polishes. But when I was completing an order and I saw that the store was carrying this collection, I just had to throw one in my virtual basket. The choice of which color it had to be was easy, Playing koi of course! It’s just a unique color, that I haven’t seen before!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Playing koi is a rusty orange\/brown\/red shade. I have to admit that somehow, my pictures make it look a little bit more bright orange than it actually is. In real life, it is a little bit more dusty and brown. It is one of those colors that many leaves have in autumn!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The formula is also very good. It covered easily in two coats. Please ignore the bubbles in some of the pictures. I used up all of my favorite topcoats, so I’m trying a different one.\u00a0In real life they are less noticeable, I only saw the bubbles when I looked at these pictures! Somehow this polish just makes me feel so happy when I look at my nails! It is a perfect twist on the classic dark red polish for fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I bought Playing koi at the dutch website Wehkamp<\/a>. I haven’t seen this collection yet in any physical stores. But I think that the stores that I go to are always a little bit slow (so annoying!). I’m sure that within a few weeks all stores will sell this polish!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have you already seen the Essie’s fall collection? Which one would you pick?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Update September 2021: <\/strong>Wow! It has been so long since I have written this post! Playing Koi is still one of my favorite shades ever. I recently used it in a comparison to China glaze’s new Spice to meet you, and that’s what made me revisit this post. If there are still looking at this post, I though it might be helpful to add in the comparisons that I did with Playing koi. So here they are!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Playing Koi is the reddest out of the other shades, and it is probably still my favorite shade out of these four.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also compared to Essie Yes I canyon, Essie’s playing koi is still my favorite (I’m sorry other shades!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As far as I know, Essie Playing Koi was added to Essie’s permanent collection. It should therefore still be easy to find the shade. You can find it over here<\/a> on Amazon for example (affiliate link).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
