Essie Winter 2010 – A Winter’s Tale Collection Preview
Essie’s Winter collection, A Winter’s Tale, brings us yet another GREEN! You’d think I’d get sick of greens after a while but I really don’t. I still get excited when a new one comes out in hopes that it will be totally different from the plethora of greens in my Hoarders-worthy collection.
Chase winter’s chill with a shot of smoldering color and a hint of mystery. Whether it’s a glittering New Year’s Eve bash or a quiet tête-à-tête by the fire, this sexy palette of intriguing colors speak volumes without you ever uttering a word. As you make your entrance, let them be beguiled as they wonder, “Who is that Masquerade Belle?” Check out a preview of the colors including bottle shots and color descriptions after the jump! |
“This winter’s fashions in their intense jades, deep violets and rich blacks tell a story of mysterious, powerful femininity,” said Essie Weingarten, Founder/President of essie. “I was inspired by the dark side of the season – deep pavement hues, intense reds and gorgeous blacks. The feeling on the runways was one of knowing grace and a self-assured cool – today’s woman follows her own path. Her wardrobe matches her provocative style: strident, striking and oh, so fabulous!”
Going Incognito – Your identity may be secret, but your style and panache are impossible to conceal with this deep emerald green.
Hot Coco – Paint on this tawny sepia and channel the roaring ’20s for a look that’s timelessly flawless.
Luxedo – Suit up in this deepest plum and boldly go where no man has gone before.
Masquerade Belle – Fascinating, mysterious and seductive, this black ruby sparks the imagination and inspires intense devotion.
Silken Cord – You’ve got the world on a string with this stunning risqué red wrapped around your fingers.
Smoking Hot – Break the rules with this stone-cold fox gray that burns hotter than any flame.
The Winter 2010 Collection by essie is available beginning December 2010 at www.essie.com and at fine spas, salons and beauty destinations nationwide. Essie nail polishes retail for $8.00/ea for a .5oz bottle.
Personally I’m looking forward to Going Incognito (big surprise!), Hot Coco and Smoking Hot. Which shades have piqued your interest?
Can’t wait to see how Smokin’ Hot looks like. Other colors are already seen too many times :/
Yeah, I am with you Vesna. I am not too impressed, but Smokin’ Hot did catch my eye.
Hmmmm… I think I need to see these in person before I decide.
By the way… about a month ago I wandered into an Aerie store (looking for something for my sister-in-law), and by the cash registers were bowls with 3 polishes from Essie: Aerie Blue, Aerie Pink, and (I think) Aerie Candy (a pale pink) I haven’t seen mention of these on Essie’s site or Aerie/American Eagle’s sites (but I haven’t checked those sites recently), has anyone else actually seen these?76/
Sorry about the typo… new kitten walked across my keyboard the second before I hit enter.
I work at Aerie and we do carry the Essie nail polish! For winter we have 4 different shades. One is “damsel in a dress” which is a shimmery dark purple. Another is “shine on” which is a dark shimmery gray. There is another shade that is a shimmery maroon color. I purchased 2 today because they were buy one get one free!!
I love the colors, especially the deep, vampy ones, but I’ve always had a problem with Essie’s formula: it goes on too streaky or too gloopy. Has anyone actually tried these?
Great colors. I want to add that LexCosmetics.com has some similar colors for fall, and $1 of each sale goes to a different non-profit. You can even create your own color that people vote on.
This is already on sale at nailetc.com, just after I made an international order :S

Any swatches along the pipeline?
I bought smokin’ hot at ulta 2 days ago! It’s GORGEOUS!
it’s more of a purple gray than stone gray, reminds me a little of marrow by butter london, really pretty and unique.
Dear Lexie,
I think the colour is corgeous too, but I think it’s to thin and therefore almost impossible to apply. Whats your opinion about that?
When will we see them?
I was wondering about that too. I can’t wait to see the swatches!
