Chinchilly was one of the original “Griege” shades that became an instant hit as soon as it was released. It is a beautiful cool toned misty gray nail polish that’s very sophisticated and chic. It is a great nail polish for office wear. Chinchilly is one of my favorite nail polishes for fall and winter, though one can enjoy it any time of the year. It is a timeless classic! Here’s a more detailed review of Chinchilly including information on where to buy it from.

I think that any list of top Essie nail polishes would be incomplete without this classic pale pink nail polish. The color is absolutely beautiful. You can wear it any time of the year, for any occasion. Apparently, the Queen of England had asked Essie for “Ballet Slippers” to be delivered directly to Buckingham Palace, London. I absolutely love the color in spite of the fact that the formula is awfully tough to work with. Here’s a more detailed review with information on where to buy it from.
