The Chic in Chicago

Just painted my nails with essie’s “milky way” I don’t think I’m sold on this color.  Bring back my bright pink!

I almost picked “Carry On” the other day at the nail salon but I just couldn’t quite manage to let go of summer just yet.

One of the least expensive and most fun ways to perk up your look is with a nail polish change. Although Essie’s Fall 2011 collection might take some getting used to after the bright pinks, reds and blues I’ve been wearing all spring and summer, I’m dying for the greenish gray Power Clutch and the camel Case Study shade.

(Clockwise, from top left)

• Carry On, $8 - “Deep romantic burgundy”
• Case Study, $8 - “Rich camel beige” 
• Glamour Purse, $8 - “Alluring almond taupe”
• Very Structured, $8 - “Classic burnt sienna”
• Power Clutch, $8 - “Striking deep gray green”
• Lady Like, $8 - “Elegant soft mauve”

Which shades are your favorite?

GOPY Glitter Nails-Essie’s “Tart Deco” and Essie’s “Set in Stones” on the tips for a little fabulously tacky flair.

Pedis in the snow.  A self portrait. Truly GPOY.

FYI I’m wearing essie’s “bordeaux.”

Just because it’s 0 degrees in Chicago doesn’t mean I can’t paint my nails like it’s summer.

Currently wearing essie for J.Crew in “Peep Show.”
