Essie Silken Cord is really from Essie's most recent winter collection, but I see it more as a summer colour.
It's a juicy pop of red-pink with a hint of orange that for some reason reminds me of Marimekko fabrics, which are my absolute favourite. (My baby blanket was even made out of Marimekko!) I love anything Marimekko, and I love this polish! I've been really enjoying brights this summer far more than I usually do. They seem perfectly suited for sitting back with a cocktail and watching some tennis...

Oh, I so very much love this polish! And I agree that is looks more summerish, rather than a winter color.
ReplyDelete<3 You! I'm pretty obsessed with Marimekko! I troll Crate and Barrel waiting for the Marimekko sheets to go on sale.
ReplyDeleteI don't have this color, but you've made me want it just through comparing it to the beloved fabrics.
This is a pretty bright color it . I like it !
ReplyDeleteI keep seeing this shade pop up on blogs all summer. I knew it was not part of their last 3 collections (when I started to really follow Essie shades), but this one is on my list of Essie's I NEED to get. I have Essie Geranium and adore that one.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't look like Winter at all. Beautiful shade.
ReplyDelete@Lyolya - Do you have it?? I'd love to see pics!
ReplyDelete@Varnish Vixen - OMG I knew there would be *one* person who would understand my Marimekko love. Growing up my baby blankie was Marimekko, our towels were Marimekko, the sheets were Marimekko. I think its awesome that C&B carries it - so much easier to get in the US now! I'm not sure exactly what about this polish reminds me of the fabrics, but it does. If you see/get it, let me know if you agree!
@Toyomi - Yes its quite happy! :)
@beachgal - I looooveeeee Geranium!!! This is like a pinker version - instead of the orange in Geranium there is pink. I think you'll like it!
@Lucy - It definitely screams summer to me!
