Essie Navigate Her Swatch Spring Collection 2012

Hi you guys!

I just finished painting my nails with my newest spring polish pick, Essie Navigate Her.

This color is just gorgeous, very much reminds me of a pistachio color which I’m sure most of you know is one of the pastel shades that is very popular this spring. And for a list of Navigate Her dupes make sure to read to the end!

I went to my favorite store the other day (Target!) because I am down in the US where I swear there are like 3 stores within a 1 mile radius from our house, lol. And of course I headed straight for the beauty department where I had to resist buying every single shade from Essie’s Spring 2012 Navigater Her Collection (next on my list is Orange It’s Obvious.)

Anyhow, I have basically been eyeing up this color, and had it on my wish-list ever since January when I blogged about new nail polish trends for spring 2012, and also when I saw Navigate Her swatched on Pinterest I believe…

So, today I took these pictures outside since the natural light provides for such great pics.

Here is my Essie Navigate Her swatch. I have seen this color combined with other in nail art on Pinterest and so I’m pretty excited to try a few different styles. I love the one of the ring finger painted pink, then adding Navigate Her polka-dots – super cute!

Here is it taken indoors, with no flash…

Navigate Her dupes?

Well, as for Navigate Her dupes, here are a few brands/shades I believe closely duplicate that creamy pistachio green:

• NYX in Pastel Pistachio
• butter LONDON in Bossy Boots
• OPI in Stranger Tides
• RGB in Dew
• Sinful Colors in Seaweed

So, quickly before I go… I’d love to know:

1. What do you think of this color?
2. Do you have any other suggestions for cheaper dupes?
3. Do you own Navigate Her, or any other Essie spring 2012 polish?

Have a wonderful day!
