Nice!! Essie's Pret-a-Surfer is a lovely shade of periwinkle blue with a creme finish. The color reminds me of Deborah Lippmann's I Know What Boys Like, and also Butter London's Giddy Kipper, except it's a bit lighter. It's muted but not grayed. I would almost call this a French blue. I have a lot of blues in my collection but none that are exactly like this one. Looks great on the nail, I like it a lot!Great formula too. Opaque in two coats and no problems with application or wear.I would buy this one again.

Pretty stunning creamy blue. Kind of a classy color in a weird way. Applies perfect with one coat but best with two. Iam not a huge fan of blues but this is a pretty calming happy blue with a hint of a grey/purple undertone. Pretty much just a straight cream blue though. Essie polishes can be runny and hard too apply but this was a dream. Going to wear it for a few days to take me into fall/winter. This color is a winner if you like blues.

This is a mid-tone blue, slightly darker than periwinkle, too subdued to be a cornflower blue. It's a very pretty, flatter color that dries slightly darker than it looks in the bottle. The first coat went on surprisingly sheer, but the second coat made it easily opaque. Most Essie cream polishes have great staying power, but this one was just OK. After the first day I had a couple chips at the tips and by the end of the second day the wear at the tips was noticeable. Still, I love the color and it's one I'll reach for. I would buy it again.

One coat for a gorgeous opaque creamy periwinkle / cornflower blue shade. This polish applies quickly and evenly and looks perfect against white, black or any other pop of color so a great year round shade although I like it best for summer or when going on vacation somewhere sunny and tropical. There is a distinct purple/gray undertone to this but just enough to make the color interesting and not strange. This looks nice on long or short nails, simply a beautiful finish with this polish.

So beautiful! It's a creme shade and it has great coverage/wear time. It's a clean beachy blue shade with a purple/grey undertone.
