Essie has been my go-to nail polish brand for a while now so I’m always excited when they roll out new colors. This month, it’s Essie Loves Diamonds by Judith Ripka ($15, essie.com) – a limited-edition collection of three diamond-infused colors that give off a subtle shimmer.The best part is that three of the of the bottles produced contain a precious stone: a sapphire, an emerald and a diamond! You imagine finding one of those beauties inside your nail polish bottle?? Let’s just say wouldn’t be seeing me for a while.
The colors in this new line seem a bit more fall to me so I’ll probably start wearing mine in a month or so and instead squeeze out as many days as I can out of their playful Summer 2009 collection. Cute as a Button is always a hit!
P.S. Get in on the latest shine-free trend by using Matte About You over your regular polishes.

I was just saying to myself that I needed to look into some fun new polish...I may have to check this out! : )
ReplyDeleteA couple nice shades in there. Not sure I'd be willing to fork out the cost though. Although, at that price I bet the polish doesn't chip as easily. Not really liking the matte...I love the shine of a great polish!
ReplyDeleteI hope you find the diamond.

Diamonds in your nail polish...tres chic! I miss my nails andhaven't polished them (I know don't faint) since last March. I had acrylic nails for about 20 years and took them off. Drives me crazy to have chips...life is tough some days.
ReplyDeleteI just touched up my toes (at work, mind you...since I'm not blogging) and thought to myself: "Self, how hideous. The same color over and over, and you don't even properly remove it to reapply a fresh coat. You are so lazy." I think Self would enjoy a new bottle of polish. :)
ReplyDeletekelley, new colors are always fun...even though I usually stick to the same shades!
ReplyDeleteladystyx, I also prefer the shiny, smooth polished look, but I like that with a matte top coat, I could turn any shiny polish into matte if I so chose instead of buying a matted color. It's like two choices in one. Plus, you can matte the tips like Essie shows.
intense guy, you and me both!
caren, then stick with a clear shade so the chips don't show as much. Your secret will be safe with me ;)
tooj, touching up a work? You're gutsy! I keep thinking the smell will rush through the office and give me away so I could never. And if it makes you feel better, I usually wait so long between touch ups that I just let the polish completely chip away before I do them again. I think tonight's a nice night for a self-mani/pedi :)
