Oui, oui, cherie, we made it to the weekend! The train to Paris leaves any minute now. Are you coming with?
Goodness — would you look at that? My poor paws. They’re in dire need of a manicure, but what should I wear? Even though the summer collections have begun to trickle in, I’m still stuck on spring colors like the opaque pastels from the Essie French Affair collection.
This six-piece release graces fingers and toes in creamy shades of blue, pink, beige, purple and peach, but these aren’t your garden variety pastels. They deliver enough pigmentation to completely cover nails in just two coats. With a good base and top coat, they should last at least a week (long enough for our trip!) before chipping.
Are you and your nails ready for love?

I love the light pink! I’ve benn wanting it for weeks! Sigh.
I’m wearing China Glaze Heli-Yum on my toes and something like Pink Cami from Nubar on my nails.
I don’t have a hard and fast favorite, but bright colors are normally what I prefer!
love all the colors! so perfect for spring
I own one essie nail polish: eternal optimist, and it’s a lovely color! I really like the essie collection.
I’ve been stalking this collection at Ulta. The only one I can find in stock is barefoot and topless. I’d love to try the rest.
I’ve entered on twitter as well.
Thanks!
My favorite color is purple, but I love the look of a nude nail polish! Cute giveaway.

MMM, I love nail polish! I just got an amazing pedicure yesterday since it’s been two months and my feet were pretty rough… I’m gonna have to start setting out more time for that!
I <3 Essie!!!
I’ve been looking everywhere for nice is nice but it’s sold out everywhere! I absolutely love purple nail polish and it looks gorgeous.
Would love to give Essie a try! Right now, my fave polishes of all time is in a 3 way tie: OPI Teasy Does It, Orly Space Cadet, OPI Jade is the New Black, oh, and it should be 4, OPI Absolutely Alice is a stunner too!
thanks for the giveaway opportunity! i kinda can’t believe i don’t have any of these yet! i am totally lemming topless & barefoot!!
Favorite nail polish right now is from the SK holiday collection. The gold glitter one. Not sure of the name Surprisingly I get better lasting from it than a matte or gloss or shimmer shade. And I only need one thick coat.
Essie is my favorite polish. I love the application and the drying time.
Just painted my nails mint green and I’m loving it!
I haven’t tried Essie yet. I had not used nailpolish for years but last fall I got sucked into the grey & beige nails and started to use polishes again.
