Essie Nail Polish Colors

Here are my favorite spring nail colors from my favorite nail polish brand: Essie. These are all cute and pastel colors, that are on trend this season. All the Essie nail polishes shown below, are sold for $8.50 on their website.



The first color is called "Ballet Slippers", and it is the featured Essie nail polish color of April 2014. It is a "your nails but better" kind of color, that is perfect to pair with a white to create a chic French Manicure. It could also be worn alone, to give your nails a hint of color. It does have a sheer finish, so what it does, is perfects your nail color, while letting it still peek through. 


The next color, is called "Lapiz of Luxury".  It is the perfect spring periwinkle color. A cute way to paint your nails with this color, is to paint all of your nails this color except your ring finger, and put an accent color on it. I think a shimmery silver would pair perfectly with this color. This polish color, can also serve as the perfect pedicure, to show off your new sandals. This color is especially perfect for the beach, because it is a dreamy color that reminds you of the ocean. 


This next color is very popular, and is called "Mint Candy Apple". It is a cute, mint-green nail polish, and a great pastel color for the spring. One way to style your nails with this polish, is to first paint all of your nails with this color, except your ring finger. Then, for your ring finger, add a darker green, such as Essie's "Shake Your $$ Maker". This will be a great combo to wear. Also, you can try some fun color blocking with different shades of this color. 


This next color, is "Resort Fling", and it is a cute peachy-coral color. It is a perfect subtle but cute color for spring. This can go with many outfits, because it is such a versatile color. This color is perfect to pair with a baby blue for a soft look, or a shimmery gold, to create a beachy-bronze nail look. 


This color, is called "Style Hunter", and is an adorable color, that is perfect for transitioning into spring and summer, and to celebrate the warmer season. It is very bright, so if you are tanned, it really gives your nails a bright pop! It is a cute strawberry color, and you can definitely experiment, and pair this with different colors. This color is very playful, and it is from one of Essie's new collections. 


This final color, "Under Where?", is a pastel lilac color. Orchid colors are very in trend this season, so this is the perfect color to wear. It is a subtle color, and is very calming. What I would do with this color, is pair it with a slightly darker purple, then a deep purple, and color block on my nails. Also, another option is to pair this with a yellow, and wear it for Easter. This is definitely another color that your can experiment with. 

So, those were all of my favorite trendy spring nail polish colors, all from Essie. I love the color selection of the Essie nail polishes, and the formulas of them are perfect. To check out these colors, and other ones, check out their website: http://www.essie.com/Colors.aspx

I hope you guys enjoyed this post, and I will try to get a new post up soon. :)

All Things Mint Tag!

One of my favorite colors right now, especially for spring, is mint green, also known as sea foam green.  Here are some things that are mint green that I am loving.


Here is a mint green cedar street magnolia cross body bag from Kate Spade. It is a little darker than most mint green shades. I also like purses, and other hand bags that are mint green and from Kate Spade. This bag is sold on their website for $198.00. 


I also love mint green nails. I especially love these nails, because there is an accent nail with cool texture on it. My personal favorite mint green nail polish, is mint candy apple by Essie. 


My next mint green favorites, are these ballet flats from Tieks. I love the color combination of the mint green with a darker turquoise. The best thing about the Tieks flats, are that they are foldable, and become very compact. These are perfect to put into your purse, or even clutch, and slip them on when needed. 


I also love mint green Lu Lu Lemon headbands. Lu Lu Lemon headbands are great quality, and have grips on them. This fly away tamer headband, is sold for $12.00. 



I also am obsessed with these mint green bow wedges. They are comfy material, and have cute bows on the front of them. Wedges are a great, more comfortable option for wearing heels, and are still super adorable. These Koi Couture Ladies Hr110 Mint Green Bow Wedges are sold online at designerwear.co.uk, for 27.99 euros. 


I also like to make cucumber and mint facial masks. These two combined make a fresh, and face-awakening mask, that livens the skin. 

So these are all of the things that I love, that are mint green.
Stay tuned for more posts! (The next post will be on Essie Nail Polish colors!) ♡
