Essie's spring collection includes colours inspired by the warm weather approaching- the colours are soft pastels, differentiating from the harsh, cool winter collection. Essie's approach was to create a lovely spring collection that resembled a French vibe.
Notably, the four main colours being recognized and blogged about by customers are the following:

 
According to Trincess, the "Official Polish Addict" with over 2,000 followers- Essie's spring collection is quite similar in comparison with previous colours, thus new features are absent. As Trincess compares the polishes, she notes Nice is Nice to be the most popular so far.

Altogether, the collection is said to be lovely and perfect for spring.

Though Essie has little change from her own colours, the spring collection has still managed to differentiate itself from main competitor- OPI. OPI's spring collection is filled with bright, bold sorbet inspired colours:

As clearly demonstrated, we see the Essie and OPI's spring collections contrast each other, which may or may not be a successful approach to beating competitors. The two collections have targeted to two different extremes, soft and harsh, pretty and bold etc.
