Essie nail color....

Essie's got a brand new bag for fall 2011! I was recently contacted by Meijer about reviewing the new fall line of nail colors by Essie. Their newest color collection is inspired by handbags! Here is the kit I received....

...cute little zipper pouch {we all know how much those can come in handy!} and 6 great nail colors!

These colors just scream fall to me....think falling leaves! Colors included in this collection are lady like, case study, carry on, power clutch, very structured and glamour purse.

I decided to try out the polish on myself and Little Bit {cause what little girl doesn't love getting their toes painted?!} I liked that there were a few lighter color choices in this collection, appropriate for little girls. I chose the lady like for Little Bit. For myself I was drawn to the burnt sienna color, very structured....so fallish!

I totally love this polish! The application was great. It goes on so smoothly and just has a wonderful finish. I definitely see more Essie nail colors in my future!

Check out these great Essie nail colors at Meijer starting this fall!

more {essie} love!

I recently received another great selection of Essie nail polishes to try out from Meijer.  I was surprised to get a cute little journal in the box as well!  I am a sucker for a good journal!

The colors in the spring collection are navigate her, tour de finance, to buy or not to buy, orange it's obvious!, a crewed interest and ole caliente.  Three of which are pastels and three bright.  They are all super cute and Little Bit and I couldn't wait to try them out!

These are the 2 she picked to start with.  We painted her nails with the pink and did orange polka dots.  {She is into design nails these days!}  I forgot to take a picture though...oops!

We did them a second time and she picked green for the base and then purple for a stripe down the center!  Too cute!  I painted my nails with the green too....but didn't get a very good pic.  The color is a little out of my normal comfort zone but I really liked it. 

Then we decided to paint our toes to match using the tour de finance hot pink color.

We both love the Essie nail polish and all the fun colors!  Can't wait to try out another fun combination!  Thanks again to Meijer and Essie for the opportunity.

Essie's Summer Collection...

Dive into gorgeous color with Essie's new 2012 summer collection.

Meijer graciously sent me my very own set of the summer collection to try and share my thoughts with you all.  And my thoughts are....I am still in love with Essie! ;)  The colors are always so appealing and I just love how great the coverage is. 

They always come packaged up so cute!  It's like Christmas, unwrapping your most anticipated gift! 

The colors in the summer line include...fear or desire, mojito madness, off the shoulder, all tied up, bikini so teeny and cascade cool!  What a great variety of shades to choose from. I am loving them all...especially the mojito madness!!!  Anytime is a great time to pick up a new nail color....so stop by your local Meijer and grab yourself a new yummy Essie color or two!  ;)

Watch for some upcoming posts of me sporting some of these new colors!!!

some {sparkly} essie!

Once again Essie is at it again with their new luxeffects line. Meijer sent me a package with the 5 new multi-dimensional top coats to try.

Here is a look at the shiny goodness...as gold as it gets, a cut above, set in stones, pure pearlfection, and shine of the times.

I decided to test them all out and see what I thought. My favorite is shine of the times. Little Bit loves a cut above...she is always wanting sparkles when I paint her nails! These sparkly top coats are great on their own or over your favorite Essie color!

Thanks to Meijer and Essie for this opportunity!

wintery nails...

You might remember that several months ago I posted a review of Essie nail colors fall line. Well Meijer has sent me another package with the Winter Palette for Essie!

The colors always have such fun names like...bobbing for baubles, bangle jangle, cocktail bling....

I love the opportunity to try out the new colors because it allows me to get out of my color comfort zone. When I am shopping for new polish I normally pick colors in the red, pink and brown family. Little Bit loves the polish too! She is wanting her nails done more & more, and again I feel there are appropriate colors for kiddos as well in this collection. She was drawn to the light purple and red!

The first color I decided to try was this dark blue color called "bobbing for baubles". I just love it! As I said in my previous review, I just love how nice and smooth the polish goes on my nails!

Thanks to Meijer and Essie for this opportunity!
