What are you feeling this fall for nails? In looking at the 2012 Fall Collection of Nail Polish from ESSIE, yes, reds are repped, which are always great for fall and even a burgundy and two greiges but thee color from the collection has to be the “on the money opulent green” called Stylenomics. It’s like the green version of Chanel’s Vamp. Such a breathe of fresh, cool autumn air! $8 @ essie.com.

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.

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.

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 @ ulta.com.

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 @ nordstrom.com.

Here we are at the end of our on-going Spring Color Picks feature. So have you added any of the suggestions like Coral, Turquoise, Tuscany, Violet or Tomato Puree to your makeup routine? Here are some more recs for Tomato and Turq. What’s great about turquoise is that sometimes it’s on the green side and sometimes more on the blue side. The two nail polishes here really depict that.

And speaking of original, how about adding some cute flowers, hearts or crystals to your tips or toes? FING’RS’ Nail Art Variety Pak ($5.49 @ walmart.com) contains over 150 decals that you simple stick on and apply a top coat to seal. Fun, fun!
