Essie Bridal Collection

I love Essie and also LOVE her bridal collection! They are soft pastels and neutrals (with cute names of course) that look great with any skin tone. Here is my review on how to wear them, because I sell the collection I've tried each color in different ways.
-



-Cloud Nine: Great for french manicure thin or thick white french lines, needs two coats, blends in with many skin tones because it has a white base, looks great on darker skin, great with any gown even ivory or blush gowns, great for modern looks like AMSALE

-Tie The Knot: Pretty opaque so it isn't good for french, great on toes! nice on nails but better for people with yellow hues in their skin not that great for pink skin tones it washes out, lovely on darker tan skin it pops, great for ivory colored gowns with lace and ruffles CHRISTOS

-Happily Ever After: great for light sheer french, has a small amount of iredecence in it but can only be seen with two or three coats, pink base some blue as well which gives it a Cinderella feel, very simple, not bold at all, beautiful with ball-gowns done in silk satins REEM ACRA

-Blushing Bride: great for a "Blush" french, sheer enough for french but bold enough to wear naturally, lovely on sleek silhouettes with bead work or embroidery detail ANN BARGE BLACK LABEL

-True Love: great for a fun color, very sheer pink/rose, not good for french because it makes the white lines look pink and dirty sometimes they crack or look uneven, great for funky brides who are non traditional ELIZABETH FILMORE

-No Pre-Nup- very similar to True Love but has a bit more white base in it, still great for natural and not so nice for french for the same reasons as True Love, great for fun designs that still have traditional under tones VERA WANG

*ALL OF THESE DESIGNERS CAN BE FOUND AT BELLE VIE BRIDAL COUTURE OR VERA WANG CHICAGO LOCATED AT 34 E OAK CHICAGO IL
