For spring 2014 Essie released a 6 polish collection “dedicated to women everywhere who aren’t afraid to play – in life and in style.” I must admit Hide & Go Chic is a super clever name for a nail polish collection though I’m not sure I’d look at the offerings and think this collection was supposed to be playful.
Truth or Flare (another clever name!) is a slightly dusty pale blue creme. Essie describes it as a vintage blue denim. Regardless of which description you go with for some reason I don’t love this color blue but I can’t exactly put my finger on why. Regardless, it’s also not the most flattering blue for my particular skintone so I guess it’s good I don’t love the color!
Unfortunately, the formula isn’t great. I needed 3 (4 on some nails…) coats to get an even, opaque color.
As of yet I haven’t seen this collection in stores but it should be popping up soon! Currently the Hide & Go Chic collection is available at Ulta.com as well as on Amazon.
