The Bluer The Better: Essie's New North Fork Collection

Well I'm on the Downeaster "Alexa"
And I'm cruising through Block Island Sound
I have charted a course to the Vineyard
But tonight I am Nantucket bound

--Billy Joel, Downeaster Alexa

This collection is to die, beauties. I don't typically love a blue, but Essie has nailed it this time with her new limited edition North Fork Collection. They're subtle, grayed-off, dreamy blues evocative of a Long Island boat ride. Appropriately enough, The North Fork Collection is named for the quaint vacation villages perched around the waters of Long Island’s East End .

“The new nail colors remind me of the most beautiful blues that surround The North Fork,” says Essie Weingarten. “Tranquil yet playful, the colors cross over in fashion and in nature.”

Greenport, Sag Harbor and Shelter Island, each named after areas around The North Fork and Long Island Sound, are an homage to the beauty of nature.

GREENPORT - Dreamy aquamarine paradise

SAG HARBOR - Cool silver blue

SHELTER ISLAND - Sky blue radiance

The North Fork Collection is a limited-edition collection, available beginning April 2009 at http://essie.com/ and fine spas, salons and beauty destinations worldwide. $9 each.

Mercedes-Benz and Essie Partner to Create Limited Edition Nail Colors

The newly launched Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG Black Series inspired Essie to create a nail polish by the same name, as well as one inspired by the Black Series car that will be on display at the MB Fashion Week Opening Event rightfully named Palladium Silver after the display car's paint color.



Though the colors are bound to create a lot of buzz, they will only be around for the evening, so those beauty enthusiasts craving the colors get the same look with Essie Nail Parnish in Licorice and Loophole. Sounds fun, right? I'm dying to see Palladium Silver IRL!

Essie Spring 2009 Collection

Just like in the '90s Era of the Vamp, I was totes enamored with dark vixen-esque nails and then all at once OVER it. And that's how I'm feeling right now. Something about last spring's dark nail trend just pushed me over the edge. I just can't cosign a dark nail in the spring. It seems wrong. That's why I was delighted to hear that Essie is busting out some beautiful brights for spring 2009!

The Essie Spring 2009 collection compliments the season’s dreaminess with a mixed palette of soft red, beige and blue, pinky coral, fuchsia and petal rose – each named to inspire the newness and hopefulness of Spring. P.S. That soft red? Seems to be a synonym for spring red, about which I learned from Gucci Westman at Fashion Week in September and haven't stopped thinking about one DAY since. I received the collection last night circa 10pm after drinks with my former college roommate Julia and don't you think for second I didn't paint that shiz (One of a Kind, see below) on my nails the SECOND I walked in the door. I love it.

“This was a season of classic hues,” says Essie Weingarten, president and founder of Essie Cosmetics, Ltd. “Last Fall’s potent colors gave way to softer, muted tones for Spring. I created this collection to flatter that feeling of Spring and gave each shade a feel-good name.”

Essie's Spring 2009 Color Collection:

Eternal Optimist – Spiced Tea Rose

Flawless – Cherry Blossom Pink

Status Symbol – Feisty Hot Pink

One of a Kind – Poppy Red Kiss

Lacquered Up – Red Hot Crimson

Mesmerize – Royal va-va Blue

Essie Tip: For a perfect long-lasting manicure and pedicure use essie’s first base base coat and good to go! top coat.

The Essie Spring 2009 Color Collection joins the award-winning line-up beginning February 2009 at www.essie.com and fine spas, salons and beauty stores nationwide. $8 each.
