Essie "Vested Interest"- a good investment!

I'm not generally into blues/greens... but add a little grey and you suddenly have a very wearable color that almost serves as a neutral!

Essie's Vested Interest, from the Fall 2013 Collection, is my new jam and I think I'm going to wear it through the end of the summer and well into the fall!

I think the color pretty much speaks for itself- a blue/green mixed with some grey undertone. Definitely matte with no sparkle of any kind. I think this is probably the only way I can wear blue/green without thinking my nails are too "out there." Leave the bold blues to the brave- I'll be sticking with "vested interest" for my kind of "ROI."

What unorthodox "neutrals" are in your collection?

Classic: Essie's Allure

Let's get this off to a very classic start, shall we?

As this blog progresses, it might become pretty obvious that I like wearing a whole spectrum of colors on my nails. From purples that look more like car paint than nail polish to taupes like Essie's Sand Tropez and back to basically anything glitter, my fingernails change week to week (no gel manis here).

But after some busy weeks with school and work- I just don't want to worry about having noticeable chips on my manicure.

Enter Essie's "Allure"

Soft, subtle, and neutral, Essie's "Allure"is perfection. A pale pinky milk in the bottle, this translated to something more creamy and sheer on my nails. I tend to be hesitant when it comes to applying lighter shades, but, as Essie has proven in the past, a great formula is half the battle!

Perfect for work at a conservative law firm, typing away on your laptop in the library, or even your wedding, "Allure" is a perfect addition to anyone's collection.

I have a feeling this is going to become one of my favorites! What are some of your favorite sheers?
