Based on this image of the Essie Summer 2010 Collection, I have some shopping to do! The shade “pretty edgy” is definitely something I wouldn’t ordinarily wear… and yet it’s the shade I want most!

Here’s what the founder–Essie Weingarten–has to say about the Summer 2010 color palette:

“This year’s runways reflected the ease of the season with youthful, upbeat clothing in feminine fabrics,” explains Essie Weingarten, President and Founder of Essie Cosmetics, Ltd. “I was inspired by the vivid pastels at Versace and the splashy florals at DKNY. I created this collection to reflect the youthful, fun-to-wear flirty frocks.”

The Essie Summer 2010 Collection of shades will be available in June 2010. Retail price is $8 per bottle.

All Essie nail polish is 3-free (no DBP, Toluene or Formaldehyde!)

True Blue Spa: Large Acrylic Foot File Review

true blue spa, foot file, product review, bath and body works, pedicure, beauty blog, makeup reviews, beauty news, beauty products, cosmetics My approach to eliminating callous before the summer season is akin to a medieval prisoner attempting to dig out of a prison with only a spoon. After each warm bath or shower, I use this foot file for as long as possible, then add some fun moisturizer for extra pampering.

I’ve been so pleased with this Large Acrylic Foot File by True Blue Spa. It’a amazingly sturdy–the handle doesn’t bend AT ALL during use, so you can really get some muscle in there for effective callous reduction!

The crystal blue shade and icy granules make it even look attractive!
