Essie Bridal 2016 is the prettiest collection of bold pastelies!  With polish colors that seemingly compliment all skin tones, the colors create the moment at the alter and beyond. Love this entire lacquer collection.

Swatches: essie Retro Revival – Vegas Inspired

If you follow me on Instagram or Pinterest, my Essie swatches usually drop there first.

Essie held a contest asking fans what colors they would bring back if they had the chance.  These six colors won out, including the “revival” of Starry Starry Night, a huge cult classic.  Specially decorated caps give an extra swanky edge to the Las Vegas inspired collection. This is a fun one!

Swatches: essie Summer 2015 Nail Polish

So excited that essie’s Summer 2015 collection is not only available in regular nail lacquer, but is also coming out in the essie gel polish under the same names!  If you recall, the original 76 colors (1st and 2nd launch) had ‘as like’ names, since the gel was difficult to get an exact match on existing colors.  A pretty tough feat to match over 30 years of top sellers. Happily they have been able to move forward with same named sets, which  makes it easier when asking for our favorite colors.  For nail professionals, new gel polish/polish sets are available at Saloncentric for your discerning clients.

VMA 2014: Winner – Lorde and her luscious Wella locks

The Look:
Lorde looked bold and beautiful at the 2014 VMA’s and her 1960’s Jerry Hall inspired hair look was the perfect finishing touch. Lorde also became VMA royalty when she won Best Rock Video for her hit song “Royals.”

Step-by-Step Styling:

  • Start with freshly washed and conditioned hair using Wella Professionals Brilliance Shampoo and Conditioner
  • To create the perfect foundation for styling, spray damp hair with Wella Professionals LuxeOil Keratin Boost Leave In Conditioning Spray then blow dry using a large ceramic brush to create natural volume
  • Create a deep side part in the hair, then curl the entire head with a 1 ½ inch ceramic curling iron to create long loose waves
  • Apply 2-3 pumps of Wella Professionals LuxeOil Reconstructive Elixir to the palms of your hands, and then gently run fingertips through the curls to add shine and definition
  • Finish the look with Wella Professionals Stay Essential Finishing Spray, lightly misting hair to prevent flyaways
