Since then essie has grown in popularity and is now well loved for it’s visionary approach to nail lacquer – with fantastic colours and clever names to match. essie is now the go-to nail brand for beauty professionals, industry insiders and celebrities, bracing the runways around the world from New York to Paris. If you asked me to pick my favourite nail polish brand, it would always be essie. The quality, packaging, brush, formulation, colours, pigmentation and staying time are all second to none!
When I had a chance to try the brand new, indulgent summer collection* (and give a set away to you guys too) I just couldn’t say no! As you can probably guess, these beautiful shades are all inspired by summer, bringing sweet pastels and glittering sugar, all the way from Paris to your nails. There are six beautiful shades in the collection, which all encourage you to have fun and indulge! The collection is strictly limited edition for summer and the shades boast both floral and bright options. I think it’s a lovely collection that really gives you the best of both worlds! Let’s take a look at the colours…
First up we have Sweet soufflé, which is your classic white shade, which has been topped with a sheer veil of candied violet. One of my favourite shades is Baguette me not, which is a pastel lilac macaroon hue! Another classic summer shade comes in the shade of Blue-la-la, which is just a stunning shade of pastel Parisian blue. The hero shade of the collection is S’il vous play and you can truly see why! The lavender pink metallic foil, is pigmented enough to be worn alone and it looks truly fantastic on the nails! If you’re a fan of pretty corals, you’ll love Fondant of you – a shimmery apricot marmalade. Last but not least, have Éclair my love – a bright heart-pulsing shade of red candy passion.
What an absolutely beautiful collection eh?! It truly has something for everyone, no matter what you have planned! If you want to get your hands on this collection, get yourself to Boots or Superdrug between the 28th of June and the 29th of August. The best news is that I have a whole summer set to give away to you guys, just head over to my Instagram here for your chance to win!
