Essie A French Affair Collection for Spring 2011
Parlez Vous Francais? Oui do. Though dreams of a romantic Parisian fling may not come true anytime soon, a flirty French rendezvous is here to stay! Introducing the new Spring 2011 essie collection: “A French Affair” – an assortment of six intoxicating retro pastels and show-stopping neutrals inspired by oh-so-chic French glamour.
Unlike spring shades of most seasons past, Nice is Nice, Coat Azure, Topless and Barefoot, Kisses and Bisses, Sand Tropez and A French Affair wear in the most opaque fashion and will surely result in many oh la la’s along the way.

I saw these in Rite Aid..Nice colors.
Topless and Barefoot is stunning, very natural, everyone has complimented me on it... just waiting till my nails grow!
i just got Coat Azure.. its so pretty <3
I own the Essie Coat Azure.. Found it at Walgreens the other day. It is a GORGEOUS color.
I am always looking for a nice pastel palette for Spring. Usually Essie and Opi go in different directions. I am so thrilled for this collection.
I bought FRENCH AFFAIR and topped it with silver glitter i am looking so cute
I LOVE light nail colors this season, especially pink and beige.
Coat Azure and French Affair= MINE.
Christine are you going to be swatching these? I need youuuuuuu lol Youre the reason why i didnt spend a bazillion dollars on Anchors Away. You help me weed out the colors i dont like. lol
Sorry, I do not have these!
I picked up one of each at walgreens last week. I had hoped that since essie is now in the big chains the cost would go down but they were still $7.99 each. Also the packaging is different. The don't have the embossed essie name in the glass rather it has like a sticker label. Wonder if walgreens will ever have BOGO on these?
Here's a swatch of Essie's Sand Tropez. It's a nice opaque beige. only 2 coats on my nails! http://twitgoo.com/1y7k2s
I've seen no swatches yet so I'm not buying until I see it
The blue shade is speaking to me.."Buy me...buy me". LOL.
I really like the colours, especially French Affair and Cote Azure. But seeing as Essie still tests on animals, I won't be buying any.
This was up at CVS a few weeks ago =D coat azure is beautiful
I really want to buy a few nail polish from this collection, but I can't find swatches anywhere, hope you post some soon. =-)
Where can I buy this? I live in the city so I only have drugstores. But please do tell me where I can get it even if it's not the drugstore, Ty.
Check Essie's store locator!
Essie always makes the most beautiful pale and pastel shades. Loving that first one! Well...all of them!
I saw 4 of these polishes in my Wal-Mart today. I plan on picking them up this weekend. They are so lovely!
Saw these at Ulta today I really liked Sand Tropez and Topless and Barefoot. I'm going to see if Walmart has them for cheaper.
Omg! This collection is so pretty! I want all of them but I think the only original color is the green with the gold/bronze sheen.
The 1st one looks really pretty. Seems similar to the one in MAC's upcoming Jeanius collection.
Thanks for sharing!! I hope this is not limited edition! I want French Affair :)
Hey ! Does anyone know if this collection is a limited edition or not?
OMG i love French Affair!
OOH I wonder if Sand Tropez will be anything like Jazz. I LOVE Jazz <3
I love them allll <333
Will you be reviewing these?
Not sure, sorry!
Ulta has them now too...i bought french affair...havent used it yet but its pretty to look at
need topless and barefoot along with nice is nice! so pretty
I'm wearing topless & barefoot right now! gorgeous.
What's with the last bottle? Looks like you photoshopped it, Christine. haha... :)
That's how the image was sent to me - it's facing front rather than on the side/angle.
EVERYTHING is photoshoped. lol But it also looks like they didn't take the last one in the same light setting.
Omg I can't wait to see them in person!
OMG!!!!! LOVE THIS! must have 1 of each.. Thanks Christine for posting!
Oh my gosh, I have never been this attracted to a nail polish collection before. I think I'm in love!
yay it's been available since Jan. 24th. I just bought Topless & Barefoot, Sand Tropez, and French Affair. They all applied like butter, which is surprising for Essie sometimes.
Butter on the toes. Huh. Thats really not a pretty picture.
I just got Sand Tropez at Walmart and I'm in LOVE!
Love, love. Particularly the blue - I love blue polish on my toes. :)
Oh for the love of Easter eggs.
I guess all the spring collections are going to be pastel this year from all companies. >__<
Love the soft colors. Perfect for my theme of being pregnant. Nice baby soft colors.
i think this is perfect for you! i hope you have a beautiful & healthy baby! :)
I wish there were colour descriptions!
Ohhh, the first one looks to be a duo-chrome! Will definately have to check it out :)
