Nail of The Day

Yes! I was finally able to get my hands on Essie's Topless & Barefoot from their Spring 2011 collection. I have been searching for a couple months for this color, and after checking all the CVS and Target's nearby I almost gave up hope. It wasn't until last Thursday I found the last bottle at a Target a little outside of my 'search area' and I wasted no time adding it to my basket.

Essie describes Topless & Barefoot as a 'barely there soft beige pink.' After painting it onto my nails, I now know why there is such a hype about this color. It is the prettiest nude I have found to date that compliments my skin tone. The color is soft enough that with a soft glance makes it look like my nail are not painted, but upon closer inspection gives my nails and whole outfit a more polished feel.

Nail of The Day

I'm constantly changing the color of my nails - I have so many colors that I love (or I discover a new must-have at the store!) - so I can't keep a favorite for more than a couple days! I recently picked up two Essie nail polishes and had to paint my nails with them as soon as I got home.

Essie is rapidly becoming my new favorite brand of nail polish. From their simple yet classy packaging, beautiful colors and formulation, to their wide range of pastels and perfect spring colors, it's no wonder why I seem to be picking up a new shade every time I'm at the store.

I'm usually a bright colors, the-more-glitter-the-better type of girl, but while browsing Essie's display at CVS, two colors caught my eye that I had to grab: Big Spender (below, right) and Blanc (below, left). I'm not one for white nail polish because I've had poor experiences with them in the past. White nail polish can be very streaky and very sheer, so naturally I was hesitant when picking up Essie's white shade. However, having great luck in the past with Essie, I decided to put my trust in them and try this baby out.
