Essie Fall 2011 - Carry On collection

Essie Fall 2011

Essie's Fall 2011 Collection is handbag themed...PERFECT!  Two of my loves in one...handbags and nail polish.  It is composted of six colors that are named with the handbag theme.  The hardest one for me to find was "Very Structured".  I was able to find all the other ones without too much difficulty.  

The colors are listed below:

Case Study - a rich camel beige.  It kind of reminds of men's khakis...the darker ones.  It is a medium beige with some green mixed in to create the "khaki" look.

Glamour Purse - an alluring almond taupe.  This one is a little bit darker than Case Study and has more brown in it and even maybe a bit of purple.  Also, a nice fall color...not very unique, though.

Here is Case Study on my index and ring fingers and Glamour Purse on my middle and pinky fingers. The difference is definitely noticeable side by side.

Lady Like - an elegant soft mauve.  This is a pretty neutral medium pink creme for the fall.  Great for everyday wear. 

Power Clutch - a striking deep gray-green.  This one is one of my favorites of this collection.  It is a very deep gray color with a dark hunter green tinge to it.  When wet, it definitely looks like a dark granite gray, but, once it dries, the green definitely makes an appearance.  Very unique!

Very Structured - a classic burnt sienna.  My other favorite fall color from this collection.  This is the quintessential fall color.  It is a beautiful deep burnt amber/sienna color.  I think I will be enjoying this one a lot this fall.

The only color that I did not pick up is Carry On.  It is described as "a deep romantic burgundy".

All the colors from the Essie Carry On collection can be found at most major retailers and some Department Stores (Target, Walmart, Ulta, Nordstrom, etc.) and online.  They are currently UNAVAILABLE at www.essie.com.  The prices vary from $4.00-$8.00.

Until next time...
