Soft, innocent, delicate, girly …These are just some of the adjectives I would use to describe ESSIE's new Spring 2008 Color Collection. Can you believe it? No dark colors, just soft ultra-feminine pastels. The most surprising shades of this collection have to be Great Expectations and Body Language. These are gray. Gray? Yup and they totally work on my light olive skin tone. Believe me, I was Joe-skeptical when I first spied them. So just try one of them and you just might be a convert. $8 @ ulta.com.

Top L to R: Body Language, Hi Maintenance, Secret Affair

Bottom L to R: Hard To Get, Great Expectations, Looking For Love
