Essie Summer 2010 Collection 4 Mini Nail Polishes

I have quite a few essie nail polishes, but for some reason this particular quad's polishes are really thin. I'm not sure if it is because they are "minis" and not the full-size polishes, but the quality of this pack is not as good as my other essies. Perhaps the full-size ones are formulated differently. I like the colors, but I wish I didn't need to put 4 coats of it on!

I love being able to buy the Essie collection in minis before going out and investing in full size bottles of each color. The brushes are a bit different since they're smaller obviously, but they still apply the polish nicely. You'll need a few coats of each color (about 3) to truly see the intended color, but it's a great way to see which polishes you want to buy in full size.
