Essie is my official go to brand for everyday nails to wear at work, or just when I feel like being natural / presentable Celina, as opposed to cosplay crazy Celina XD;
Essie always seem to have the best nudes and crèmes in their range, and their Wedding Collection is no exception. The formula on these are great, very pigmented and easy to apply. I’d recommend 3 coats for the two nudes, and 2 coats for the coloured shades, no top coat was used in the swatches below.
Better Together
A ballet pink like nude, which I find better suits lighter skin tones. I really enjoyed wearing this, it made me feel very refined and polished 🙂
Borrowed & Blue
A pale crème blue, which I also really loved but cannot actually figure out when I would wear this particular shade. It’s very pigmented, in fact probably one coat would have been good enough if I’d manage to do a better job. Maybe this would be a good alternative if you’re used to wearing crème whites and want something with a bit of a twist.
First Dance
A cherry red crème, we’ve seen this shade a couple times in the last few weeks, and my opinion stands firm, it doesn’t really matter what brand you go with, everyone needs a red like this in their collection.
Made to Honor
A dusty pink nude, similar to Better Together but more muted. I think this would be less attention grabbing than Better Together (as attention grabbing as nudes can be!) more subtle and more versatile too since I can see a larger range of skin tones being able to use this shade.
Overall, another cute and inoffensive collection by Essie, I wouldn’t expect anything less from them 🙂
I know Essie is available from Myer, but I have no idea if they’ve released this collection or how much it is. If anyone knows and could let me know, I’d be very appreciative.

Isabel says

Celina says
It is a gorgeous pink nude 🙂
Angela says
The first and last shades are my faves! They are beyond gorgeous.
Although, everytime I try to wear a nude or pale nail, it looks crappy on me. Dunno why. :S
Celina says
Aww 🙁 Maybe you need to find a specific tone that suits your skin type? I have a friend with a similar issue, so she needs to try everything before she buys!
