White & green spring manicure

Hi,

Today I'll show you another Konadicure.

Actually, this one was hard to to because of the curve on the top of the nail.

using a thin brush with Essie Going Incognito. I stamped under them the design from m36 image plate with Konad special green and I applied some silver rhinestones.

I finished with a top coat.

essie - Fall into fashion

Hi girls!
Here are some press informations recived from essie.

This season’s runways showcased a mix of traditional glamour, chic urban warriors

and eclectic color combinations that has us revved up for fall! The feeling is dark,

sexy and minimalist, dominated by a posh palette of decadent, velvet textures and

reflective, metallic embellishments.

From The Expert:

“This fall, designers are mixing it up, combining sheer fabric with leather along with

lingerie as outer wear in deep, muted tones and bold color palettes which is very

alluring,” explains Essie Weingarten, Founder/President of essie. “I drew inspiration

from the range of elegant, sanguine hues and camoufl age tones.”

The Colors: essie’s Fall 2010 Collection

Essie’s new fall 2010 collection embodies the essence of these eclectic fashions

with autumnal pops of color in six stunning new shades that are a perfect match

to fall’s exquisitely refi ned accessories and fi nely tailored ensembles.

The collection will be available from September 2010 at www.essieshop.com and worldwide

in local stores.

What do you think about it? Will you try the new shades?
