Namely Angora Cardi.
Angora Cardi is the one shade from Essie's fall collection I instantly fell in love with.
It's a mauve-y/plum colour that looks really gorgeous on, sadly my table lamp doesn't do it much justice. In fact, it's a bit more muted in real life and in my eyes it makes an excellent shade for fall!
Being quite the purple nail polish fanatic that I am, I 'm very glad I added this gem to my collection, as it's not only a lovely shade - it applies really well and turns opaque in 2 coats without streaking.
I would definitely recommend it to anyone, especially those Metro Chic lovers out there, since Angora Cardi is definitely in the same "dusty" family! :)
Sadly though, apart from Angora Cardi, nothing else caught my eye from this collection (yay for my balance)!
(pics from essie.com and aesthetic-technologies.com)Mink Muffs looks very similar to You Don't Know Jacques, which I already have and Chinchilly is this weird greenish grey, that I just can't imagine having on my nails (but if anyone has tried it, please let me know what you think).
Midnight Cami is a dark shimmery blue (and I 'm still much in love with my Chanel Blue Satin to move on to another deep blue colour) and the two neons wouldn't be my usual fall choices, although I do like the idea of a couple of brights in a typical fall collection.
So, please let me know what you think of Essie's fall collection!
Will you be trying or have you already tried any of these shades? :)
that color is so nice! i've been playing around with plums lately, as i feel the weather calls for it--it looks gorgeous on you!
ReplyDeleteps. love the thumb ring..have been meaning to tell you that from ..i think.. another photo :) xx
I really like that collection actually...would consider most of those colours - really love that neon pink. Fell head over heels for the Nails inc hills collection but I am trying to remember that I stopped using Nails inc a couple of years ago because they just don't go on nicely or last well on me at all. BarryM is a fraction of the price, always looks lovely and easily lasts 5 days without any care.
ReplyDeleteMight have to buy an essie or two and try them - oh the hardship haha.

Thats a beautiful colour! I've never tried essie, but ive been meaning to, they always look so gorgeous. xx
ReplyDeleteI like it! Its so much more toned down than summer colors. Pefect for this season!!! xox
ReplyDeleteGreat colour! It's such a nice shade for autumn without being too dark
ReplyDelete@fantastic: I 'm pretty sure it would look lovely on you too! ;) Plums are great for fall, and this one is a great shade! :)
ReplyDeleteThe thumb ring is sth I never take off, it's my trademark! Lol!

Oh, that's really pretty! I'm looking for a nice purple color. I'll check out that one :)
ReplyDeletexo Thanks!
@ForDGRedial: I 've never tried Nails Inc, I hear they aren't that great... And that Hills collection, I really like the concept of it, but I wouldn't see any of the hills girls wearing these particular shades, I would have considered a lighter baby pink for Heidi, a charcoal shade for Lauren and a really dramatic red for Audrina! :DDD
ReplyDeleteAgreed about Barry M, they make great nail polishes, especially for the price! You should definitely try Essie though, maybe a shade that's not available in other brands? ;)

@Tabitha Sheridan: I really like Essie, although I don't own that many nail polishes.
ReplyDeleteThey seem to make great shades, somewhat more unusual than, say, OPI, and they apply really well! ;)

@Tali: It looks a lot better in real life, as it's a bit more darker/deeper!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a great fall colour - I think I know what I 'll be mostly wearing this winter! ;)
xxxx
@Stefanie: It's really pretty, I think you 'd really like it! It comes out a bit darker though in natural light, more plumy! :))
ReplyDeletexoxoxo
@Michélle: Oh, I think you 'd really enjoy it, it's a great purple shade, very chic! ;)
ReplyDeletexxxx
I love those kind of toned down colors! great collection! I think I'd go for Mink Muffs
ReplyDelete@FELINE.: Oooh, nice, Mink Muffs is growing on me too...but I just can't justify yet another nail polish purchase atm, especially since I have sth so similar!!! ;)
ReplyDeletePlease let us know how you like it when you get it though!
xoxoxoxo
Must get some of those!
ReplyDelete@Athina: Do let us know if you get any! ;)
ReplyDeletexxx
You have my fav in the collection, that one is the one I would pic up, my problem is I have 3 new ones... no excuse for other soon :/
ReplyDelete@Gabriela: Hmmm... I know what you mean, I 've bought a LOT of nail polish lately too...! But this is a truly great colour, maybe sth to pick up when the weather gets a bit colder? :)
ReplyDeletexxx
I am lusting over Angora Cardi badly right now... might pop into town to see if I can find it this afternoon.

@LionLovingTiger: Yes, that's the only problem the beauty community can cause to someone...lol! :)))
ReplyDeleteDid you get it and what do you think of it?
