Two Ways to Win the Essie French Affair Spring 2011 Collection (a $48 Value)

April 23rd, 2011 by Karen 536 Comments

  • WINNER: The giveaway is closed now, and the winner is Eileen! Congratulations, Eileen! If you entered but didn’t win this time around, keep trying, and click here to enter any ongoing giveaways before you jet. 🙂

Oui, oui, cherie, we made it to the weekend! The train to Paris leaves any minute now. Are you coming with?

Goodness — would you look at that? My poor paws. They’re in dire need of a manicure, but what should I wear? Even though the summer collections have begun to trickle in, I’m still stuck on spring colors like the opaque pastels from the Essie French Affair collection.

This six-piece release graces fingers and toes in creamy shades of blue, pink, beige, purple and peach, but these aren’t your garden variety pastels. They deliver enough pigmentation to completely cover nails in just two coats. With a good base and top coat, they should last at least a week (long enough for our trip!) before chipping.

Are you and your nails ready for love? 🙂

    I really, really have been looking for Topless and Barefoot, but they don’t have it at our Ulta, or at any of the Walgreens. They have ALL the other colors except for Topless and Barefoot 🙁 So I would really love to get that color without having to travel more than 40 miles, LOL. I know they sell Essie at Walmart but I refuse to shop there.

    These are so pretty! Essie is my favorite brand of nail polish, by far.

    As for prom dresses, mine was only three years ago (which seems like a long time, now that I say it). I wore a one shouldered silk greecian-style dress in a rich chocolatey color (I bought my dress last minute and the navy I had been eyeing was sold out 🙁 ) with a satiny band across the waist. It was pretty, but if I could go back I’m not sure I would have worn that.

    Coat Azure is my favourite from the collection. Thanks for this awesome giveaway!

    Hehe…my prom dress was a princess-style…very pouffy and Cinderella-esque with so many layers of fabric. Because of the layering, my dress had a duochrome – purple and blue depending on how the light hit it. Loved it even though it was much girlier than I’m used to.

    My Love affair with nail polishes started with Chanel Particuliere. Before that I just used a base coat to keep them clean and nice. After Particuliere I started noticing everyone´s nails and loving the colours. Essie has a limited availability here, so it would be great to be the winner, if not, well, hope someone enjoys these lovelies as much as I would 😉

I may have to do a stripy tutorial so i can wear both 😀 xo

    I only went to junior prom and it was the best time ever. It was a speakeasy theme and my mom and grandma made my dress of a teal silk and looked like a Chinese kind of dress with a mandarin collar and I wore a long strand of pearls. Even all my friends dressed up to the theme and we went in old timey cars to the dance.

My prom date’s sister was (and still is!) a MAC MUA and did my makeup for me. Since then, I’ve been turned into a full fledged MAC addict and can not imagine how life would be without it. 🙂

    I’ve been Frankening up a few polishes lately, mostly as gifts. I did make one for myself that I really like that’s a royal blue shimmer with a kind of duo-chromey opalescent peach shimmer. I haven’t worn it yet, because it’s a made from 2 really old polishes & it’s a little bottle, so I only have so much and can’t make it again.

    Currently my go to color is Curvateous from OPI for Sephora.

    I really tried to think of who my first crush was but I kept wondering if certain crushes counted. So I think I have to go with my older brothers friend Robbie. I think I was like 4 at the time. Years later when I was around 21, I went to his wedding. I still had a crush on him!

    My prom dress with this poofy pink thing with a collar from Lauralee. I saw it in a Seventeen magazine and I just had to have it. Girls had just started wearing skinnier dresses getting away from the large ones in the 90’s. You remember! I kept it in my mothers closet with other important dresses. This year, she presented me with a quilt… made out of all of my dresses! I seriously almost cried. She was so upset because she thought it was such a great idea. :-/

    I have way too much nail polish for one person. But this, I gotta have!!

    I’m one of the few people who can say they married their best friend. We’ve been best friends since we were 3 years old. Mr. Right was there in front of me the whole time. 🙂

    My prom date was 18 inches taller than me. Yeah. But he was the only person i could think of who’d have any chance of agreeing to go with me. (I really didn’t want to be the stereotypical geek who never went to any high school dances.)

    My prom dress was an ice blue A-line with a boatneck-type front and a deep scoop back with three ribbons that tied across it. I got it crazy cheap (I spent more money on a matching earring/necklace/bracelet set than on the dress!) and wore it to three proms, and then my cousin borrowed it the next year. Best dress ever.

    I’ll take the first love idea. My first crush was my teacher from an alternative school I went to after dropping out of high school at 17. He was mostly volunteering his time because the school didn’t have enough of a budget to give the teachers enough salaries. The other teachers came and went but he was with us through thick and thin.

    I loved him very much.

    My favorite polish of all time is be a four way tie: Nars Midnight Express, Essie Turquoise and Caicos, Rescue Beauty Lounge Coral and Rescue Beauty Lounge Teal. Right now though I’m sporting Easter nails – OPI Banana Bandana with dot-flowers on it. I really really really want to figure out how to draw the perfect hibiscus on my nails. It’s a borderline obsession.

    I hope you had a good weekend sweetheart! I’m slated to watch a hockey game in a few hours; it might result in the husband being elated for the week or down in the dumps through to Monday. Wish us some West Coast luck!
