Since some of you liked my recap post of Essie New York Fashion Week 2015 Days 1, 2, and 3, I’m bringing you another one: Essie New York Fashion Week Recap: Day 4!
In this post, you’ll see the fashion and manicures at the runway shows for DKNY, Dion Lee, Yigal Azrouel, and Diane von Furstenberg.
My favourite outfit is the one by Diane von Furstenberg (DVF) because of the texture, vivid colours, and high-impact drama!
Which outfit is your favourite? Do you like any of the simple manicures?
Nail polish alone is enough to make my pulse race, but what really oils up my engine is when I see it in action on the runway.
Fashion is a creative force that I love to follow. No, I don’t jump on every trend, but I like to know what’s going on in the industry because it sometimes echoes the status quo, while other times, it challenges it defiantly!
Beauty and fashion go hand-in-hand, and I’m inspired by the creativity that goes into each look. Although commercial beauty is pleasing to the eye, it’s the editorial, quirky, and offbeat designs that I find myself drawn to the most. Fashion is art.
So when I checked my e-mail this week and found a bunch of Essie New York Fashion Week Recaps, I had to share them with you, my fellow nailphiles.
You get to see Essie nail polish in action on the runway – it doesn’t get more exciting than that! (Well, the only thing I could see trumping that would be if I ever meet Essie Weingarten!) 😉
In this post, I share with you information and photos from Days 1, 2, and 3 of Essie nail polish at New York Fashion Week 2015!
In January, I had a pleasant surprise waiting for me when I got home from work – the Essie Spring 2015 Collection, which will be available in drugstores, salons, and other beauty locations across Canada in March!
The Essie Spring 2015 Collection was under embargo, which is why I shared a little black-and-white photo as a teaser on Instagram.
Today, I’m finally allowed to share them with you, so here’s my post with Essie Spring 2015 Collection swatches, bottle shots, and the official press release!
I’ve worn all of them already as full manicures, so expect upcoming in-depth reviews with tons of swatches, as usual.
If there are any shades that you’re most interested in seeing, let me know, and maybe I can work on a post for this week.
I came home from work this evening and found an interesting e-mail from Essie’s PR with a recap from Essie at Paris Haute Couture 2015!
Nail polish is very exciting to me, but seeing it in action in the fierce fashion world? I love it!
In this little post, I share with you the information I was sent, as well as photos of the models in their Jean Paul Gaultier, Loris Azzaro, and Mabille designer apparel with Essie manicures.
Valerie Banino was the talented nail artist who led the Essie team to deck the models’ tips with style for the runway!
They used many different Essie nail polishes, but the photos in this post depict just a few. Enjoy!
Usually my Quick Look posts are of bottle shots and nail polishes, but I wanted to share this photo, and it was the most appropriate category.
I’m always interested in learning more about the people behind brands because as much as nail polishes make my pulse race, it’s the creative geniuses behind a company who make all the magic happen. They inspire me, and it makes me love a brand even more when there’s a human element.
This evening, I’d like to take a moment to put Essie Weingarten in the spotlight on Swatch And Learn!
Essie Weingarten is the Founder and Global Creative Director of Essie! So if you love any Essie nail polishes, you have her and her amazing team to thank.
Here’s a photo of Essie Weingarten. Doesn’t she look totally glam?
I believe strongly that beauty is ageless, and Essie Weingarten is proof of that!
In the future, I’m thinking about using Quick Look posts to also focus on snapshots of people and other things instead of only swatches and bottle shots. Let me know if this is something you’d be interested in. 🙂
Ready to gear up for warmer weather? I sure am, and if you are, too, then come join me on a colourful adventure!
Today’s post explores the Essie Resort 2015 Collection from the official press release that was sent to me by PR.
The Essie Resort 2015 Collection launches in US salons on February 1st and will hit Canadian salons and mass market retailers on April 7th.
There are four shades in the Essie Resort 2015 Collection: Suite Retreat (blue orchid), Time for Me Time (iridescent sheer pink), Stones ‘n’ Roses (pink coral), and Cocoa Karma (milk chocolate).
Which one(s) would you like to see reviewed in-depth with lots of swatches?
P.S. If you’ve been following me on social media, you may have seen me post a couple of black-and-white teaser photos about the Essie Spring 2015 Collection here and here. Those are not of the Essie Resort Collection for 2015. It’s a separate collection. 🙂 (Yes, even more great nail polish from Essie to look forward to! I’ll reveal the spring colours in February.)
A great palate cleanser, Essie Wrap Me Up from the Cashmere Matte Collection is a very different look for me.
I’m used to wearing bold shades, even to the point of being tacky. But that doesn’t mean I don’t like to venture out of my comfort zone and try something different.
Essie Wrap Me Up is certainly a far departure than what I’d normally reach for, but I appreciated the demure light beige with just a hint of pink and awesome texture.
This one features the Cashmere Matte finish, which feels smooth and satiny like luxurious sea glass!
Oh boy – winter has taken a toll on my cuticles a while back when I wore this nail polish! (I don’t slap on lotion or cuticle oil before taking my photos. I just snap photos of myself as-is.)
However, recently I purchased a new and fun cuticle oil that’s supposed to smell like cupcakes. Hehe, that was a major selling point for me.
I’m going to try to be more conscious about using cuticle oil at night before I go to bed. But you won’t see any difference for a while because I still have a few photos of manicures I’ve worn already that I’ll be showing on here.
(Expect to see a review of the cupcake cuticle oil on here after I’ve used it for at least a month. I think that’s a decent amount of time to see any differences in my cuticles.)
