Like most nail polish addicts, I love collecting Essie nail polishes. Essie has such a wide spectrum of colors that it is really tough to choose the best but here are my top ten Essie favorites!
Chinchilly
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.
Merino Cool
This one is a gorgeous and sensual mulberry nail polish – it is a unique blend of grey and purple with a slight hint of brown. It has an amazing glossy finish. Again, a great color for fall and winter though you can enjoy it anytime of the year. It is work appropriate too! It is tough not to fall in love with this shade. Here’s a more detailed review of Merino Cool including information on where to buy it from.
Smokin Hot
Smokin Hot is a smooth deep purple/ aubergine toned grey. Those who love edgy neutrals will like this shade. It has a nice glossy crème finish. This shade is perfect for fall and winter. Here’s a more detailed review with information on where to buy it from.
Carry On
Carry On is one of my favorite plum nail polishes. It is a bold vampy deep plum shade that leans towards black. It is a great shade for fall and winter. Here’s a more detailed review with information on where to buy it from.
Ballet Slippers
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.
Angora Cardi
Angora cardi is a beautiful and interesting plummy mauve shade with a hint of brown. Another great fall and winter nail polish but it is so beautiful that it will look great on a warm summer day too! Here’s a more detailed review with information on where to buy it from.
Under Where?
This one is the prettiest purple nail polishe I’ve come across! It is perfect for spring and summer. If you love purple, don’t miss this one. Here’s a more detailed review with information on where to buy it from.
Cascade Cool
This is a very pretty summery cotton candy pink nail polish. I love wearing it during spring and summer. It has a nice crème finish. The color is very girly and playful. Here’s a more detailed review with information on where to buy it from
Bikini So Teeny
Bikini So Teeny is a beautiful cornflower blue nail polish with silver shimmer. It is one of my favorite spring and summer nail polishes. The formula is streaky but the color is gorgeous so it is worth the effort! This shade is a must have. Here’s a more detailed review with information on where to buy it from.
Mint Candy Apple
This fresh minty pastel greenish blue nail polish has enjoyed cult status ever since it released as a part of the Essie 2009 Winter Collection. It gives the nails a refreshing pop of a color! No wonder it is loved all over the world. Here’s a more detailed review with information on where to buy it from.
