Essie’s Sure Shot is a dark iridescent magenta nail polish. The color is very deep and is closer to the purple family than the pink. The formula is very runny and it definitely requires a double coat. I found it hard to work with this nail polish. I also thought it would be nice to compare Sure Shot to another magenta color from Essie, Super Bossa Nova. This polish was included in last summer’s Color Me Braziliant collection. Super Bossa Nova it a bright magenta and very similar to Tour de Finance (swatch review), I like both these colors better than Sure Shot.

Essie Tour de Finance – Spring 2012 Collection
I just could not wait to review this gorgeous color! My nails are not even completely dry yet and I absolutely adore this polish color!
Tour de Finance by Essie is a super glossy cool magenta pink. It is slightly iridescent and very shiny. It’s perfect for spring. This color is similar to Essie’s Super Bossa Nova which launched last summer, but it’s a bit lighter.

Update: My manicure lasted almost a full week and the high gloss shine was still visible on day three. All in all, I think I will definitely go back to this color again through out the spring and summer!
