Essie Fall 2009 Color Collection swatches

Chicas, can I borrow you for a second?

I’m suffering from a little bit of post-dental visit brain fart. No shots were involved (thank gawd!), but I was on edge the entire time and have yet to fully decompress from the experience.

Painting my nails always chills me out, so I’m gonna take it easy tonight and do an at-home mani/pedi.

Will you please help me pick a polish? I can’t seem to decide on a color, but I’d like it to be one from Essie’s fall collection ($8 each).

The six-piece collection comes in shades of gray, taupe, pink, blue and orange…

    Ooooh, Midnight Cami looks very pretty – a lot like Zoya Ibiza. I say Bright Tights for a fun wait-it’s-still-actually-summer mani. =)

    I <3 the name Chinchilly. :D

    I dislike going to the dentist too. I have to go back in two weeks and I am not looking forward to it. The only good thing about going is that I get to window shop after it. hee hee

    I like Midnight Cami.

    Tonight I am home and waiting for my dinner to be done. Gonna watch an episode or two of Dexter. Have you seen this show? I am watching it via Netflix and it’s pretty good.

    I like the super bright orange and the dark blue. Though I’m a little confused at the Orange in a fall collection. XD

  8. 8. Stephie said, on August 19th, 2009:

    I think it’s funny how the hot pink and orange stick out like a sore thumb :P But I like how the collection gives you options. It has those dark and rich fall shades but still the fun quirky ones.

    Its a little dark for August, but it’s amazing!

    love midnight cami and bright tights.

    midnight cami would be a nice contrast against my NC15 skin that picks up blues rather nicely.

    i hope your weekend is going well!

    I’m all the way devoted to pink, so I’ve voted for Pink Parka. I usually don’t try so much of pink on my nails, I like more dark colors. It has been a long time since I’ve seen a gorgeous pink. Pink Parka is definitely my taste.

    Bright Tights compliments your tan skin beautifully! But it doesn’t help that orange is my favorite color. I’m def gonna be on the prowl for it. My second pick would probably be Mink Muffs. Midnight Cami is pretty no doubt, but there are so many dark blues already!

  18. 18. gio said, on August 20th, 2009:

    I love pink polishes so I voted for Pink Parka. Midnight Carni looks gorgeous too!

    Hi Lola,

    Yeah, the blues are quite big for fall. How are you liking Angora Cardi?

  29. 29. lola said, on September 17th, 2009:

    Hi Karen,

    I just did my nails in Angora Cardi last night and i LOVE it! It goes on darker than the color it looks in the bottle. A dark chocolate-mauve…it’s so perfect for Fall:)
