Another season another collection – the first I have to show you is the new Essie Summer 2013 Collection. This collection draws inspiration from a summer cruise in paradise, featuring summer’s hottest colours. Of the collection, Essie Weingarten says, “Inspired by breezy chiffon cover-ups and cashmere pastel evening looks, these six shades make the perfect wardrobe for any journey.” Light, cool and relaxing, these shades show off a softer side of summer but are definitely playful. I’ve swatched all 6 shades below for you to take a look. Which is your fave?
