Pretty Essie Neutrals
Essie is without a doubt my favorite nail polish brand. They have an incredibly wide range of colors and come at a great quality.
For the past couple of weeks, I’ve been particularly in love with Essie’s neutrals. They’re not too bright, not too pastel-y so they make for a perfect Summer-Fall transition. I went through my stash and picked up a couple of favorites that I now use in rotation: Tuck it in my tux, Urban jungle, Limo-scene, Spin the bottle, Ladylike, Take it outside, Chinchilly and Mochachino. The two that I reach for the most are Tuck it in my Tux and Limo-scene.
Left to right: Tuck it in my tux, Urban jungle, Limo-scene, Spin the bottle, Ladylike, Take it outside, Chinchilly and Mochachino.
All of these have a smooth and clean finish, with the exception of Mochachino, which has a little glitter in it. Some of them are on the sheer side (like Limo-scene and Tuck in it my tux) and some of them are completely opaque (like Ladylike and Take it outside).
Tuck it in My Tux– subtle, classy, a bit sheer and feminine creamy ivory-great alternative to white polish.
Urban Jungle– alabaster orchid shade that’s both edgy and simple.
Limo-scene– sheer pastel pink that’s a bit more pigmented than Ballet Slippers. Timeless, simple and very lady-like.
Spin the bottle– stunning semi-sheer nude that has just enough pink tones to not look overly peachy or pink.
Ladylike– gorgeous, elegant, soft mauve-y neutral. Perfect for those who don’t feel comfortable with peachy or pinky nudes.
Take it outside– this taupe-y grey with just a hint of pink was my favorite last year and I’m still not over it.
Chinchilly– granite grey with a slight lavender tint.
Mochachino– this perky brown-grey is the only one out the eight mentioned here that has a bit of a shimmer in it.
