Essie Fall 2013 Mini Set

Essie Fall 2013 Mini Set PHP 750, from the Urban Bazaar
The Lace is On | For the Twill of It | Cashmere Bathrobe | Vested Interest

"It's a material world. This fall, a textile-inspired nail color palette piles on the luxe and amps up the chic. Colors take their cues from rich flannels, sumptuous knits, hints of lace and ultra-fine silk twill - for sensuously seductive lacquer looks."

'Glistening jewel toned pearlescent fuchsia' is how Essie describes The Lace is On. My second favorite from the collection, which is also metallic number. I think they nailed the description pretty well. This is perfect for the girls out there who still want to sport a pop of color to their look during the fall.

It's pretty obvious who the star of the show is in Essie's collection this fall. For the Twill of It is 'a rich medium brown with reflective green shimmer'. I personally wouldn't describe it as brown at all, but sorta reminds of the rainbow that forms from oil leaks on the road, if you know what I'm saying. It's a unique shade that I already started obsessing over since I laid eyes on it. It's also the reason why I bought this set in the first place!

Cashmere Bathrobe, a cool toned 'true flannel gray' with tiny, tiny subtle specks of silver that isn't noticeable from afar. I can see this as being my new go-to gray!

Lastly is Vested Interest, a 'cool gray teal' which is the color I'm probably least excited about in the collection.

I think Essie did a good job in planning this fall's collection, there's definitely something in here for every kind of girl to love. They have bright shades for those who like some color on their fingertips all year round or as transitional colors to fall, an edgy and daring shade, and a few more standard fall cool toned polishes. There are two other colors from the collection that aren't part of the mini set, which are Twin Sweater Set a 'vibrant crimson red' and After School Boy Blazer a 'academy blue black' that's gorgeous and I wish was in the mini set instead of Vested Interest.

What do you think of Essie's Fall 2013 Collection?

Orly in White Tips



I chose Orly in White Tips and I brought my Etude House Jelly Pop Top Coat along with me to the nail salon for a super glossy finish. So my white nails wont end up looking like correction fluid...


I got my manicure done in Enza (which I've previously blogged about here) while also getting a pedicure

A manicure (upgrade to Orly nail polish) and pedicure (regular clear nail polish) cost me PHP 270

I've been thinking about painting my nails white for quite some time now but I was hesitant until I saw that one of my all time favorite bloggers, Nicole Warne from Gary Pepper, did it! She had white nails in two posts from her blog: Little Miss Sunshine and In the Summertime. I think it looks really pretty especially for the summer, what do you think? Yay or nay?
