Essie’s winter collection is already on shelves at my local Ulta, but I’m still kvelling over their fall collection. On my nails right now: Little Brown Dress.
The fall collection included two so-dark-they’re-almost-black vamps: brown Little Brown Dress and plum Velvet Voyeur. Both are outrageously shiny (though you know I can’t get enough topcoat. I couldn’t resist my usual Seche Vite + Color Club Vivid combination). Hey, I can see my reflection in my nails!

I love deep dark colors on their own, but they also make an excellent background for sparse glitter topcoats, “flakies,” and stamped designs.
Essie polishes are $8 each (but sales do happen).






This is gorgeous Karla! I love your nails too
Currently trying to grow mine out post acrylic and your picture just made me feel even worse about them haha xo
No, don’t feel bad!
I actually have naturally thin, weak, peely nails. Keeping them polished helps a LOT; I also swear by my Seche Rebuild basecoat.
Ahhh I still need to try this one! Gorgeous =]
That’s gorgeous! I’ll have to look for that the next time I go to my local Sally’s. Fortunately they sell at $6 here, not $8; same for China Glaze. In the end there’s not a real price difference between drug store brands.
That settles it, lemming confirmed. I’ll be getting this dark beauty.
