As the leaves begin to change colour and fall to the floor, the nights draw in earlier and the occasional sunshine is accompanied by a cool breeze; the change of season calls for some changes in fashion...
As most of you who have followed my blog for a while will know, I don't like the cold and the winter months. I much prefer sunshine, longer days and warmth. Therefore, most seasons changes, I feel the need to mark with some new purchases; I suppose it cheers me up!
After suffering our second miscarriage, I feel the need to spoil myself. I went into Boots and Essie were doing the deal of 3 for 2; so I couldn't resist!
To begin my autumn spree, which was very modest today as we didn't have long at the shopping centre; I took advantage of the deal and bought 3 different shades. I'm sure I'll post the other shades soon, once I've tried them.
The first new varnish I wanted to try today is called "Clothing Optional" which I thought was a funny and quirky name! I love the Essie names of nail varnishes.
"Clothing Optional" is from the 2017 "Wild Nudes" Essie collection. It is a taupe shade, like a pale chocolate, as in the pictures below.
The coverage is perfect with two coats. It is so smooth and even when painted onto the nails. I always use an Essie Top Coat, so the shine is always there; I love a shiny finish on nails! I found that "Clothing Optional" dries pretty much the colour as you would expect from the colour you can see through the bottle.
I feel this shade is perfect for wrapping chilly hands around a warming mug of hot chocolate!
