Essie Fall 2015 Collection with Swatches

No one does fall nail color like Essie. I mean Wicked, Licorice, Chinchilly! I could go on and on. Here is a look at the newest fall 2015 collection.
Typically when a nail polish brand launches a collection, I have one or two colors that I wouldn't wear but I fell in love with each and every color from this one. Leggy Legend is by far the most memorable and really stands out on the nails. It's a show stopper. In the Lobby looks a bit more maroon in the above pic, but as you can see below from my index finger it skews more wine/burgundy which I prefer. 

Of course Color Binge was the first one I swatched when I received the polishes because I can never resist a red-orange. I was a bit hesitant about With the Band upon seeing it in the bottle, but once on my finger it looked like the perfect brick red for fall. Frock n Roll and Bell Bottom Blues are going to be great for the holidays - both would look great with a little black dress. I forsee a few of these shades becoming cult classics.

Essie Fall 2014 Collection With Swatches

Essie Fall 2014 Collection with swatches on fair skin
I get excited for a lot of different nail polish launches each season, but Essie is the one brand that always seems to get it right. They consistently make classic colors that become cult favorites that all of us will wear for years and years. And I love the fact that most of the shades they release each season become permanent so you don't have to fall in love with a color and then buy 25 bottles of it because it will disappear after the season is over. This fall collection is everything I would have expected from Essie - rich deep blues and browns, two neutral shades that I can't help but love and a classic red that seems suitable for any time of the year. Below are all the swatches and corresponding names.
My personal favorite is 'Take It Outside', as I'm sure all of you guessed. Though it doesn't sound appealing, I would describe it as the perfect mushroom shade - right? A good mix of gray and beige with no shimmer. I need another neutral nail polish like I need a hole in the head but I refuse to listen to reason when it comes to nail polish.

What shade is your favorite from the collection?

Candy Colored Nails

A pastel post? Really, Maree? I am hardly the gal who gravitates towards pastels, but as I was recently looking at my nail polishes, I was surprised to see I had amassed quite a few.  Clearly I don't know myself as well as I think I do.  Maybe it's the unending snow storms or lack of sunshine that is making me want the pale colors but either way, my fingers seem pleased.

Beauty Bits: Holiday Nail Colors

 photo HolidayNailColors.jpg Nothing will put you in the holiday spirit quicker than a festive holiday mani - a red holiday mani to be exact.  Bright, classic, glittery or dark - red nails are the perfect finishing touch for this time of year.  As one who doesn't always gravitate towards these shades normally, I find myself reaching for them over and over during the Christmas season.  I searched through my collection to pull out some of my favorite shades that are sure to get your fingers (and probably you too) in the spirit.  If I have worn them in a previous Sunday Nailday post, I will link to the swatch.  photo HolidayNailColors1.jpg
