28 Nov Review, Swatches: Essie Winter, Encrusted Treasures 2013 Collections – Pearlescent, Texturized – 2014 Nail Polish Trends
Introducing the Essie Winter and Encrusted Treasures 2013 Collections! And there’s something for everyone! From smooth and subtle to knock-your-cashmere-socks-off sexy textures, Essie‘s new winter collections capture glamorous colors and textures at their best.
Molten pearlescent surfaces and diamond dust-like shimmers are sure to refresh any case of the winter blues. Color plays a leading role in the Winter 2013 Collection and each of the 6 NEW shades have a distinctive feel that seduces your senses.
“Opposites attract,” says brand Founder and Global Creative Director, Essie Weingarten.
“This season, I had a very strong feeling for both power pastels and intensely saturated deeps,” Weingarten explains. “For winter, we’ve seen a lot of beautiful, bright outerwear which seemed like the perfect balance to darkly mysterious hues.”
Throughout the many, many years of wearing Essie‘s brand, I have never really experienced so much texture as I do today in her polishes. There’s sparkle, shimmer and a lot of shine — and now a more 3D feel only seen in this holiday collection.
This collection includes: Shearling Darling (rich, plush ebony red), Sable Collar ( luxurious pearlescent cocoa plum), Parka Perfect (serenely shimmering cashmere gray), Toggle to the Top (sparkling crushed garnet red), Mind Your Mittens (deep, double-diamond black teal) and Warm and Toasty Turtleneck (wisteria pink angora).
Encrusted Treasures 2013 introduces so much texture and dimension to your manicure, you have to see to believe! Yes, I know The Thrill of It had the duo chrome effect, yet all of these 6 NEW shades were inspired by the looks on the runways featuring beaded gowns and spectacular jeweled accessories — making this one of the first collections that I recall from Essie having “texture.”
“The collection was born of a desire to create something utterly romantic and magical,” says Founder and Creative Director Essie Weingarten.
“Women so rarely have the occasion to wear a beautiful gem or a finely wrought couture gown, yet we crave opulence. These six shades add an element of jewel-like drama to any look.”
The 6 shades in this collection include Belugaria (holographic jet-black lace), Peak of Chic (alpine white holographic rainbow fringe), On a Silver Platter (pearlescent gold with holographic violet glitter), Lots of Lux (not shown; shimmering lapis lazuli with a beautifully textured finish), Ignite the Night (sparkling hematite with a superfine matte finish) and Hors D’ Oeuvres (platinum gold with iridescent silver glitter). All can easily add decadence to your manicure!
Available now for $8.50 per bottle at fine nail salons and beauty destinations worldwide or online at www.essie.com.
