Essie Sunday Funday is sooo pretty. I just really hate the name.
Aww, that is too bad! 🙁
Is it weird that that influences how I feel about it? LOL.
Nope, not at all! Names can totally rub people wrong (or right!).
All the shades are beautiful and my vote goes to GUERLAIN NAHEMA 🙂 would love to try it out 😀
my orange pick would be CHANEL COROMENDEL 🙂 reddish orange 😀 adoreeeee this shade
i was never a nail polish person and especially high end , but you and my close friend Radhika of weekend ramblings made me crazyyyyy about them last year 🙂
this year i only picked Graphite which was a gift and now i am thinking which one to buy , i need to update my stash
Graphite is a gorgeous shade <3
i saw “FIVE WAYS with grey pewter shades ” and read your comments in the post regarding that shade .. and as i was very late in building my collection i had no idea how that color looks like …. headed to CHANEL Counter and asked my fav SA to show me in discontinued drawer , she was kind enough to give me that and i still thank my stars for that 🙂
Aww, so glad you were able to get it even though it was discontinued!
Amy looks really nice!
I love how glowing it is!
Right now I’m loving China Glaze’s Life Preserver & Zoya’s Thandie!
I love Life Preserver, too!
Loved Marquise! Its the prettiest orange!
The finish is awesome!
Orange is so fun!!! The fact it can lay either neutral, warm, or cool, is a winning situation for everyone! Yay! 😀
It’s a fun color for summer!
So fun! Do you have a favorite?
All of the above 🙂
For a softer orange, I love L’oreal’s Tangerine Crush.
Thanks for the rec!
Sunday Funday, ooooooh! You saved the best for last here, Christine, what a cutie.
It’s such a nice spring/summer shade!
These polishes look so nice!
Happy to hear you like ’em, Laura!
I love all of these shades, but am especially loving that subtle glitter in the Essie one!
Any other favorites, Miki? Always looking for recs!
Essie’s Sunday Funday looks really pretty! I’m not a huge fan of Essie’s brushes though. I find the narrow brush makes it more likely that my polish is going to end up a bit streaky. But I’d consider getting over my objection to their brush for that color.
My favorite orange hued polish is Julep’s “Karen”. Mostly because it shares a name with me. But it also is a lovely orange sherbert type color.
I like a wider brush, too, and I agree that some of the narrower, stiffer brushes can make polishes prone to streaking!
The Essie one is just beautiful! Mind you, I kind of love all of them, but Sunday Funday, Marquise and Amy are my picks here 🙂
I’m so torn between Amy and Marquise – I love them both so much!
I like Chanel Holiday. I’m wearing it right now actually. 🙂
YAY! 😀
The Nahema polish is gorgeous
I had to check my collection because I was sure I had something close lol
We’re just drawn to certain things, I guess.
Kinda reminds me of Orly’s Terracotta, OPI’s Baguette Me Not and China Glaze’s High Hopes.
Love, love Guerlain’s new(ish) formula!
Essie Sunday Funday is so cute!
I love it!
Illamasqua Marquise is the prettiest orange I have come acrooss.. 🙂
It is so lovely!
