I had THE hardest time deciding what to wear so I decided after the greens and reds to tone it down a bit.
First I chose Essie
Sand Tropez.

Not fond of most of the Essies I've tried, application-wise. This was no different. It's a little too thick for my liking. Not a brand I WON'T wear if I really like the color, but never one of the first ones I grab. And there are a few of the Essies that have a decent formula like
Bahama Mama,
Big Spender,
Sole Mate...and some are WAY too thin, like
Clambake. I don't like VNL (visible nail line) at all.
But this one just didn't do it for me. I felt like it gave me "lobster hands." Then I remembered I'd bought one of the new releases,
Case Study and decided to see how it compares.

I didn't hate how Case Study looked so I decided to give it a go for this mani.

Case Study is a khaki sort of color that Essie describes as a "rich, camel beige."
Sand Tropez, on the other hand, looks like silly putty to me. Essie describes it as a "soft, sandy beige."
I know this is an old post but thank you for comparing these! I have Case Study and want Sand Tropez, but didn't know if there was enough of a difference to justify it!
