Essie Fall 2012 collection: Glamour Purse, Lady Like and Power Clutch swatches and review
Today I have some quick swatches for you from the Essie Fall 2012 collection which was released last month here in Australia. I was very kindly sent Glamour Purse, Lady Like and Power Clutch to try out and show you!
What they say:
"Elegant, sophisticated and mixed with the right amount of fun, this season Essie’s inspiration stems from designer handbags and powerful business women - think Mad Men! The mix of velvety hues and lady like nudes makes Essie’s Fall 2012 Collection an easy choice for those women who mix business and pleasure.
Easy to apply and chip safe, Essie Fall 2012 collection has fingers and toes covered for work, play and everything in between."
Glamour Purse is described as an "almond taupe" which I'd say is a pretty good description however it translates slightly darker on the nail. There are quite a few colours out there which are similar but I'm still digging these shades for the cooler months! 2 coats is pictured.
Close up:
Lady Like is a gorgeous muted mauve. It's very fall and is SO so pretty! 2 coats is pictured.
Close up:
Power Clutch is a darkened grey green. It's an unusual colour and my camera didn't want to capture it properly! 2 coats is pictured.
Close up:
Overall: These colours are PERFECT for the cooler months - they just scream fall! The formula on these was consistent and perfectly opaque in 2 coats. They applied excellently and dried to the usual Essie high gloss formula (yes you can see my big head reflected haha). The colours in the collection are really work appropriate but still interesting. My favourite would have to be Lady Like - it's such a beautiful colour!
Details: The Essie Fall 2012 collection is available now nationally from Myer, Hairhouse Warehouse stores and selected salons for $18.95.
US ladies can purchase Essie nail polishes from the Essie online store for $8US.

DeleteThey're beautiful; I love these kinds of colours! However, the first two look too similar to ones I have already. Power Clutch is more exciting, though!
ReplyDeleteSame here Rinnie! Yeah the 1st 2 can be duped as they're more the usual Fall colours.
DeleteGlamour Purse is delicious!
ReplyDeleteKind looks like chocolate milk or something lol
DeleteThe colors are really rather cold. I somewhat only like the power clutch!

ReplyDeleteLady Like is my favourite too!
Deleteyou know that those are from the fall 2011 collection..?
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately Australia is always several collections behind due to seasons so this is in fact the Fall 2012 collection for us. I am sent the Australian press releases from the Australian PR for Essie.
DeleteI do indeed know that this collection was released in October 2011 for the US as fall is Sept-Nov. Here in Aus fall/Autumn is March-June ;)
aaaah, i did not know that! i mean i do know about the reversed seasons but i didn't know essie just sends the colours out to australia half a year later. which does make sense :D
