Essie's Spring Collection

I'm totally loving the pouring rain in L.A. today (mudslides and flooded roads aside).  It's the perfect day to stay inside and watch TV and read magazines while you dream about warmer weather.  (Although to be fair, warmer weather is probably like, four days away for us out here, so it probably won't be that long).  And when the weather gets warmer, I'll be sporting Essie's Spring Collection on my fingers and toes.  The bright shades just beg to be worn with a cute sundress and strappy sandals while eating at a sidewalk cafe.  Here are the shades you'll be seeing this month:

• Lacquered Up - Red Hot Crimson
• Flawless - Cherry Blossom Pink
• Eternal Optimist - Spiced Tea Rose
• Mesmerize - Royal Va-Va Blue
• One Of A Kind - Poppy Red Kiss
• Status Symbol - Feisty Hot Pink

My toes are totally getting Lacquered Up, One Of A Kind and Status Symbol - the shades are a perfect way to add a pop of color to your outfit, while Flawless and Eternal Optimist are great nude shades that I can't wait to use on my fingers.  (I'm torn on Mesmerize - part of me wants to be funky and wear it on my fingers, the other part of me thinks it'll look way better on my toes.  These are the questions that keep me up at night, people).  And cute colors aside, I find that Essie polishes wear really well on me - they last for a long time and don't chip as much as other brands I've tried.  It's a win win!

Essie nail colors retail for $9 each.  Check out more shades at essie.com.

Ive tried some Essie polishes and they didnt seem to dry like ever...but the were pastel baby pink and a pale yellow which are hard colors to get to dry in any brand.I love the colors of the new Essie line(saw it at the beaut supply store)I may give Essie another try at your reccomendation.How would you say they compare wear wise to OPI and CND polishes?

You're so right, I totally adore Mesmerize on my toes!

I know - the new shades are so pretty, aren't they? Love them! I think they wear comparably to OPI and CND shades. The lighter shades usually last longer on me (of course), but I think they all wear pretty well, at least in my experience. If you're looking for a fast top dry coat, try the Quick Dry from Jessica (jessicacosmetics.com). I love it - it makes everything dry super quickly. Hope that helps!
