Mani Monday: Essie Merino Cool

IMG_4797

I have been searching for a new color for a few weeks now, and I stumbled upon this perfect Essie shade at Target last week. It is a gorgeous mix of grey and a slight hint of purple. It changes slightly depending on the light. I am OBSESSED with it!! It is called Merino Cool, and it is definitely a must have. It’s a perfect fall shade, or just a daily shade when you want to feel dark and a little mysterious. My cousin, who is way tanner than me, bought Master Plan, which is also a great color. It’s a nude that looks way lighter than Merino Cool. The difference is the skin tone. I know that Master Plan would not look great on me, because my skin tone is too light to offset it. However, it looks perfect on her! So here is my tip for the day — if you are tan, go for the lighter nude-brown of Master Plan, and if you are super pale, go for the darker Merino Cool. Trust me.

Mani Monday: Essie Sand Tropez

One of my favorite nude nail polishes is Essie: Sand Tropez. Everyone should have this in their nail polish collection. It’s a great color for any season. I especially love it for special occasions where you don’t want a crazy nail color, or for the upcoming fall season. Wear it with a black turtleneck sweater and crisp jeans and some serious gold jewelry. It’s understated yet always in fashion. When in doubt…go nude.

Mani Monday!

So obviously it is not Monday…but since I have been off for 2 months, I have so many exciting nail polish colors to show you! So today is an honorary “Mani Monday”. One of my fave finds from this summer was this gorgeous pink color by Essie. It is the perfect ‘ballet slippers’ kind of pink. I put it on, an immediately fell in love. The color is called “Muchi, Muchi”.
