essie Says to Slip Into Something More Colorful for Summer 2010.

I am so thrilled that the warm weather is here. What a better way to celebrate the season with more color on our nails. I do like the darker shades in the colder months, but now that warmer times are here, it is time to change our volor selections, don't you think. I am loving all of the shades in this new essie Summer Collection.

This new summer collection brings us fun and flirty color choices without going overboard for your summer tips and toes. Think of them as soft shades of color.

“This year’s runways reflected the ease of the season with youthful, upbeat clothing in feminine
fabrics,” - Essie Weingarten, president of Essie.

As the summer fashion trend is all about mixing and matching, this years summer color palette allows for the same fun and freedom. Choose Miss Matched for fingers and Pretty Edgy for toes, or whatever you fancy. You cannot go wrong with any of these gorgeous shades. Just take a look at them.

Each polish, like all of the nail polishes in the essie line are 3-free – NO DBP, NO FORMALDEHYDE, NO TOLUENE.

Look for these beautiful essie shades come June at fine spas, salons and essie.com for $8.00 each. Which shades will you be picking up?
