ESSIE Chinchilly at NYC Fashion Week '12

Here is a quick trend report from Essie at NYC Fashion week.
This is what they spotted backstage at 3.1 Phillip Lim Fall/Winter 2012....

♥ Trends:
Short oval nails
Romantic yet edge makeup
Neo-noir, comic inspired clothing and nails

♥ Colours: One coat of licorice, topped with a thin stripe of chinchilly and highlighted with blanc for a shadowed, crescent-moon effect.

♥ Heard: “This graphic nail design is dramatic, yet incredibly wearable. Women of any age can wear this look to make a super modern statement that is still totally chic.” – Essie Weingarten.
Love this funky nail look! Essie in Chinchilly is one of their best selling shades. 
It's a 'sleek granite grey' that flatters many skin tones.
Normally Chanel Particulière is my go-to elegant taupe nail polish but at the moment am loving the whole greige look. Chinchilly is a darker version of my OPI's Skull & Glossbones but this has slightly more mauve/purplish undertones. It is creamy, chic and natural yet a little sexy and very versatile!
The formula of this nail polish is fantastic. Not too thick, very smooth but not streaky which meant opaque nails after only two coats. The brush is also makes applying a breeze. This is definitely a new favourite of mine and as it seems right on trend....So are you loving the greige nail look? xoxo

It took me an embarrassingly long time to buy Chinchilly (here in New Zealand it costs about $30 - or 15 pounds!) but now I wear it pretty much all year round. It looks great under OPI's Rainbow Connection or with OPI's Meet Me On The Star Ferry on the ring fingers!
