"Cuddle Up" With Essie's Fall/Winter Collection
Warm Up With "Mink Muffs" and an "Angora Cardi" Courtesy of Essie
Aug 24, 2009
Although Essie has always offered a range of colors throughout its various collections – from the popular pale "Mademoiselle" to the richly dark "Decadent Diva" – it's usually famous for its chic, soft shades that add the faintest wisp of tone for a healthy, manicured look. Lately, the company has been inspired by the retro trend of bright, primary colors, splashing fingers and toes with eye-popping blues, yellows, and oranges – a trend that has leaked its way into the "Cuddle with Color" collection for Fall and Winter.
- Angora Cardi - This warm rose shade is a highlight of Essie's "Cuddle with Color" collection – a bloom of rich, yet soft color that cloaks your nails just like your favorite "angora cardi."
- Mink Muffs - This cozy, soft brown is a chocolaty cousin to O.P.I.'s popular "You Don't Know Jacques" lacquer. Two coats of this creamy shade add warmth to even the chilliest skin tones.
- Midnight Cami - Channel the iciest days of winter with a shock of royal blue on chilly fingertips with just a hint of shimmer like delicate snowflakes on a dark winter's midnight.
- Chinchilly - Essie describes this unique, earthy color as a classic granite gray, but this versatile shade also can appear as a soft, camoflauge green, shaking up traditional neutrals for a look that hold its own against the more vibrant colors of the pallette.
- Bright Tights - Who says brights are just for summer? This brilliant, matte orange is like the blazing sun on a frigid winter's day. Lacking shine, creme, or shimmer, this shade is a pure punch of color.
- Pink Parka - Along with "Bright Tights," this vibrant pink retains the tell-tale brightness of summer color but leaves behind shine for a matte look that will pop against the snowy winter scenery.
Essie has a few more surprises in store for your Fall and Winter manicures with pure products designed to nourish and strengthen nails without harmful or drying chemicals.
