If it weren’t for Essie’s hot holiday collection, I might actually feel the cold this winter. Their Winter 2008 Collection totally rocks, and now they’re coming at me with the Mega Mini Treasures set ($15). Way to go, Essie!
It comes with mini-bottles of Essie polish (0.16-fl oz each) in four easy-to-wear shades…
- Imported Champagne: metallic golden beige
- Jelly Apple: creamy red
- Berry Hard: creamy dark berry
- Pink Glove Service: creamy translucent petal pink
What do you think of the red case? Looks like a nice stocking stuffer, right? You don’t even have to wrap it! Just pop on a ribbon and voila… regular Santa’s little helper. 🙂
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen

December 3rd, 2008 at 12:00 pmHi Yadiq,
I really love it! I like that the color has warmth and it’s not too milky looking. I totally agree that it would be so cute with a French manicure!
I am feeling a little better today. I haven’t been good about exercising and that seems to affect my mood… gotta get back on track. Must. Go. Running.
How are you doing? 🙂

OH! Cherry Pop sounds really pretty. There’s a beauty store right around the corner so I will have to go hunting. 🙂
I hope your procedure goes smoothly… after it’s done I think you should treat yourself to the healing powers of Chanel.
I’ll keep my chin up if you do the same. It’s getting cold out but I made myself run anyway. I am feel much better.

December 3rd, 2008 at 2:26 pmHi Katee,

December 3rd, 2008 at 3:27 pmPink glove service is AMAZING! Can I buy it separately? The other colors don’t do much for me.
My bag arrived today btw! I am in LOVE. I’m gonna take some pictures tomorrow. 😀
Ellery´s last blog post..Dear Santa…

December 3rd, 2008 at 4:54 pmHmm,the colors don’t look that unique to me 🙁
Karen says
December 3rd, 2008 at 5:40 pmHi Ellery,
Yes, you can! Here’s a link to the individual polish — Pink Glove Service.
YAY! I can’t wait to see pictures of your new MJ cutie. Did you put your stuff in it yet? It looks like it holds a ton!
Karen says
December 3rd, 2008 at 5:42 pmHi Sleepy,
I think they purposefully put in wearable and not crazy shades… I like these because they’re so tiny! I have an addiction to mini-polishes. 🙂
Catherine says
December 3rd, 2008 at 7:44 pmBerry Hard looks like THE perfect berry I’ve been looking for! And I adore shades like Imported Champagne and Pink Glove Service. I’m definitely going to have to go to Nordstrom’s soon or something.
I totally hear you on the running… but I’m so lazy… =(
Karen says
December 3rd, 2008 at 9:20 pmHi Catherine,
Yay! There’s something about a deep, rich berry color… I feel like it’s a classic. 🙂
Ugh, it’s getting harder to get myself outside with the weather getting colder. I wish I had a treadmill! It would make it a billion times easier. How long have you been running for?
