essie Winter 2016 Collection

essie winter 2016 "mod about you"

Brand new from essie is the winter 2016 collection, "Mod About essie". Inspired by London in the "swinging sixties which was the epicentre of chic". Curated by the Global Colour Curator for essie Rebecca Minkoff!

There are 6 shades in the collection. It includes both frosts, shimmers and creams. Keep in mind I'm not a nail painting expert, so excuse my less that perfect nail swatches. Available now in salons and retailers worldwide for 9.99 CAD each.

I really enjoy this collection because it is not a super traditional approach to winter polish. It's got fun twists that are wearable by all. I think they can be worn year round too! They all have a great formula, all swatches below are 2 coats, some you can do just 1. My only complain about essie polish is the smaller brush, personally I like something larger as I have quite large nail beds. They did not apply streaky and dried with a nice glossy finish.
