Orange is one of the hottest trends of this Spring/Summer and Essie hit the nail on the head with Meet Me At Sunset (MMAS) from their 2011 Summer Collection: Color Me Braziliant!
Color Description: Essie describes MMAS an "intense flamigo citrine", I say, google "safety orange" and you'll get its overall feel. But don't feel as if you have to play it safe and pass this one by, it's definitely a wearable orange.
Similar To: I compared a few orange-reds from my collection here and the bottom line was that MMAS has the most vivid orange hue of them all! These are all close: OPI - Big Hair Big Nails, Essie - Meet Me At Sunset, OPI - Tasmanian Devil Made Me Do It, Borghese - Castello Cherry and Love & Beauty - Coral.
This Look: One coat of Starting Over After Artificials, two coats of MMAS (definitely could've used a third) and on coat of Sally Hansen Mega Shine.
Price Point/Availability: Essie retails for $8 at some drugstores and select salon locations. I really like the fact that CVS is now selling these and I can use my ExtraBucks to purchase them.
Now orange you glad you can be fabulous for as little as $8? Nail polish is just a little way to introduce trends into your wardrobe and I'm all for that. Let me know which Summer Essie's you're picking up this season. Stay well-polished and TTYS!
