In June, the Essie Summer 2015 Collection launches, and  it consists of six colours that can be paired together to create all sorts of fun manicures.

Here, I show you swatches and bottle shots of each shade, but I also share a few nail-art designs in case it helps spark some creativity!

Out of all the Essie Summer 2015 Collection colours, my favourites are Saltwater Happy and Pret-a-Surfer.

Which are your top picks?

After looking at the hues, it seems like you could easily break up the collection in pairs: Private Weekend with Chillato, Saltwater Happy with Pret-a-Surfer, and Peach Side Babe with Sunset Sneaks. Each duo could make a cool ombre effect. Can you picture it?

There are six shades in the Essie Summer 2015 Collection:

• Private Weekend
• Chillato
• Peach Side Babe
• Sunset Sneaks
• Saltwater Happy
• Pret-a-Surfer

These are the colours I imagine being paired together to create ombre effects:

Introducing the Essie Summer 2015 Collection

Sizzling colour is here. Unleash your inner beach goddess with stunning summer hues. Inspired by endless summer fun, this fresh new palette gets you in the groove with a wardrobe of chic shades. When the temperatures rise, it’s easy to try a new look, experiment with colour, mix it up and play. Freedom is what it’s all about. Want to get inspired? Head to the water’s edge and soak up the sun and the scene. From Montauk to Malibu, the coolest styles can always be found frolicking at the beach.

Inspired by molten days that stretch into fun-filled nights, Essie’s Summer 2015 Collection presents six shades that put a new spin on summer colour. Each shade has a unique sensibility and subtle wit that pushes the fashion envelope. Turned-up and plugged-in, these vibrant shades fuse striking punch-brights with a razor-sharp edge and a touch of cool that’s distinctively Essie.

Summer’s here. It’s time to get ready and get pert-a-surfer. Sunny highlights, a breezy dress and some chic sunset sneaks is all you need to transform yourself into a peach side babe. Will you get whisked away for a private weekend on the estate? Or enjoy a simple stroll on the boardwalk? Wherever you go, never miss a chance to indulge in a piece of saltwater happy or a scoop of chillato, before summer melts away.

Essie’s Summer 2015 Collection will be available in drugstores, salons, and other beauty destinations across Canada in June 2015.
