Essie Navigate Her 2012 Spring Collection

ESSIE just put out their Navigate Her 2012 Spring Collection  and I find it interesting that three of the polishes are on the pastel side and the other three are bright pigmented colors. Kind of like it because a woman’s nail polish mood changes pretty much daily.

Essie Summer 2011 Collection

Out of all the summer Nail Polish collections I have laid eyes on lately, the Summer 2011 Collection from ESSIE seems to nail the vibe with what I’m feeling this season perfectly. I’m really into the juicy fruity colors so these three are in rotation on my tips and toes these days. From L to R in picture: Too Too Hot – fierce fire coral, Super Bossa Nova – pulsating tourmaline pink, Meet Me at Sunset – intense flamingo citrine. $8 @ essie.com.

Essie Summer 2010 Collection

Essie-Summer-2010-Collection Going from this one to ESSIE’s Summer 2010 Collection of Nail Polishes is about as much night and day as you can get. This year’s runways reflected the ease of the season with youthful, upbeat clothing in feminine fabrics … inspired by vivid pastels  at Versace and the splashy florals at DKNY, (Essie created) the collection was created to reflect the youthful, fun-to-wear flirty frocks.” I think this could have been just another collection without the Pretty Edgy shade. It really help tie all the colors together beautifully.

Color picks from L to R: Demure Vixen (iridescent cocoa mauve), Haute As Hello (racy, scorching coral), and Pretty Edgy (vivid palmetto green). $8 @ essie.com.
