The Most Flattering Nail Polish Colours Ever | Essie Spring/Summer 2018

Essie 2018

If there's one beauty treatment I won't pass on, it's doing my nails. I adore a little at-home mani, and I've been lusting over Essie's newest shades this summer. I have a big selection of favourites here, all of which are extremely flattering on the nails. I was most surprised by the opacity of these shades, most needing only 2 coats to achieve a streak-free application. Read on to see how I use these stunning polishes.

For #manimonday today I did a floral nail art design with "Bon Boy-Age" as the base. I love how it turned out! Long live summer and flowers.

These shades are all Gel Couture polishes as well, which have a funky twisted brush handle and an extra-wide applicator that makes painting larger nails a total breeze. I reviewed a few other Gel Couture shades in this post, where I also photographed the unique no-drip/easy-flow brush.

How wonderful is this summery nail look? A simple and quick at-home mani can be elevated with a metallic accent nail. Here I'm using "Getting Intricate" and "You're Golden" from the Reem Acra Bridal Collection.

Here's a close-up of my floral nail art using nearly every shade mentioned in this post. I used a very thin eyeliner brush and a dotting tool to achieve this unique design.

Two shades I've been loving on the toes are "Set the Seam" from Reem Acra and "The Fuschia is Bright" from Summer 2018.
