Essie has always been one of my favorite nail polish brands as their polishes last the longest without chipping on my nails.They have an incredible color selection, with shades so good they’ve become cult favorites and people can tell what shade you’re wearing just by glancing at your nails. This summer, they released their Sunrush Metals collection in their Gel Couture line, and while these colors were inspired by the golden tones of a summer sunset, I think they also make beautiful shades to wear this festive season. The metallic sheen in each one of them adds a gorgeous dimension and reflect to your nails that’s absolutely eye-catching. Read on for the full collection, how to wear these polishes, and why you’ll be wearing them into the new year.
The shades, from left to right, are Steel the Show (a pinky champagne); What’s Gold is New (a true yellow gold); Sun-Day Style (a coppery bronze); In My Element (a metallic lilac); Sunrush Metal (a golden toned coral); and Sequ-In the Know (a fuchsia with golden reflects)
The Sunrush Metals collection was released as an addition the shades in the Gel Couture line from Essie. The Gel Couture polishes are the Essie two-step polish system that gives you the durability and lustre of a gel manicure without the commitment of an actual gel manicure. You apply two coats of the Gel Couture color, and one coat of the specially formulated top coat in the Gel Couture line. The top coat contains platinum particles which help the shine and durability of your manicure. While they last like a gel manicure, these polishes are super easy to remove– you take them off with regular nail polish remover like you would with a traditional manicure.
I’m wearing the shade Sun-Day Style on my nails. It’s a beautiful bronze color that on me, and anyone with a similar skin tone, works as an amped up nude. I love how it catches the light, and the little gold particles reflect smoothly throughout it. These polishes, because of their metallic lustre, the slight duo chrome quality some of them have, and their durability, are perfect for holiday parties. Steel the Show and What’s Gold is New would be the perfect shades for a New Year’s Eve event; and I’m definitely wearing In My Element on Christmas Day.

Hey guys, I’ve been in a rut for a minute lately and I’m just sort of thinking through it and trying to feel around it, figure out what it is. You know when you kind of have a plan for things, like for college or life after or a project you’re doing, but at the place you currently are you can’t make those plans happen so you just kind of…

#foreheadgame This is my ‘ooohhhh’ face.?? I get it sometimes when I really like something, or am awkwardly trying to smile. Which is what was happening here but whatever. So, I went to the Body shop, and they were having this giant sale (everything was still way more money than I was ready to spend on soap) and the girl at the counter practically sang about this body milk. She…

Trips to the drugstore are a painful process for me; especially if I’ve been reading fashion magazines or watching beauty YouTube videos. This means trips to the drugstore are always a pain. A few weeks ago I went to an Ulta to get some stuff- lotion, lip balm, nothing special. I had seen an ad for the L’Oreal Butterfly intenza mascara in Vogue and so really wanted to…
I really appreciate how that sort of rhymes, sort of. Most people know Sophie Kinsella for the Shopaholic series, Shopaholic 1,2, Shopaholic and baby shopaholic…you catch my drift. She’s a really good writer and has a great sense of humour, and nails the romcom literature genre- so she’s perfect for a gloomy day such as this one. I got this book for my long and dreary flight home, and was…
