Essie North Fork Collection Review, Swatches, & Photos

Reviews
Christine |

Essie’s North Fork Collection features three summery colors in Sag Harbor, a cool silver blue; Shelter Island, a sky blue radiance; and Greenport, a dreamy aquamarine paradise. Each bottle retails for $9.00, and you can find ’em at Essie.com (or click the link in the beginning). I’ve always been a fan of Essie’s polish formula, because it’s long-wearing and reliable. I’m more of a color fan, so I don’t always align with their collections, but I’m so happy to see these three hues join me for the season!

Sag Harbor is a cool, pale blue-gray with silver shimmer. Two coats was just right with this baby, but you need to make sure you have nice, even coats that aren’t too thin to ensure a streak-free finish.

Shelter Island is a creamy sky blue that’s not overly bright, but it isn’t pastel or pale either. It reminds me of an inviting swimming pool.

Greenport is a pale aquamarine color with a creamy finish. It has a lot of glossiness to it, and it’s really opaque.

See swatches…

I LOVE these colors. Greenport is in the Peppermint Patti family & i think i actually like it better than Peppermint Patti. More of a teal than a pastel creamy green. Shelter Island is totally gorge!!!!! Have these launched yet? Makes me want to go get my nails did.

I hardly ever buy nail polish as I’m a serial nail biter but when I saw Greenport I had to buy it. It’s even prettier in real life!
