Ummm….
Love it and already bought it! I love the minis gives you a chance to try a few shades at once.
Ooooh so pretty! Will you be reviewing these?
A few days ago I saw a girl at Starbucks wearing a color very similiar to Smokin’ Hot. I wasn’t able to ask her what brand/name she was wearing but I overheard her say OPI to her friend.
Christine (or anyone else), do you know if there is a similar OPI color?
Regardless, I’m going to stop by Metro Beauty to take a look at this winter collection. It’s lovely (and I’ve been a little turned off by OPI ever since they sent you that rude letter!).
I don’t know at this time. My OPI knowledge is very limited, so hopefully someone else can help you there 🙂
I have OPI’s Jade Is The New Black. It looks exactly the same 🙂
Oops sorry. I got them mixed up and thought you meant Going Incognito.
Nathalie, if she said it was OPI, then I’m about 99% sure she was wearing You Don’t Know Jacques. I have it, and it fits the color description of Essie Smokin’ Hot perfectly. Hope that helps!
Sephora by OPI’s Metro Chic also looks very similar to Smokin’ Hot.
Christine are you going to have swatches of these?
I do not have anything to swatch at this time.
Love these! They are all so unique!
hot choco and masquerade belle are amazingggggggggggg!
I’m not too impressed with these 🙁 The red (Silken Cord) is pretty but I guess the China Glaze Christmas Collection caught my eye and these colors just doesn’t really compare, IMO.
I already picked up Going Incognito but I must’ve missed Smokin’ Hot! Looks gorgeous in these pics!
Not loving this collection – I can easily dupe literally every color with polishes from different collections over the past few months, some of them Essie themselves! Boo 🙁
I find as well these are very similar to some Essie polishes previously released – a few shades seem to resemble some from their most recent fall collection :\ (namely the darker polishes) as well there is one that looks similar to merino cool
smokin’ hot (the bottom right one i believe) is the one i will get
Where is the winter collection 6-pack available? I know Nordstrom offers the limited 4-pack (although the website says it is unavailable)
essie.com
In Canada, they can be found at London Drugs
The shades are kind of blah, but the descriptions are so exciting! It makes want to buy all of them 🙂
Ok so some of these colors reminds me of previous Essie colors!
Like Smokin Hot is kinda reminiscent of the popular Essie -Mink Muffs or Chinchilly
And Luxedo reminds me of Velvet Voyeur (from the recent fall collection) which I loveeee
Maybe the swatches can clear this up for me …but till then…
Bought 4 of them! Swatches on my site!
Never tried Essie before, but these colors really seem nice.
Do you know if Essie (or a possible parent-company) tests their products on animals?
I’m not sure, but the best thing to do is check out their website/FAQ or maybe just google “Essie” and “animal testing” 🙂
Erica – Essie doesn’t test on animals, but earlier this year they were purchased by L’Oreal who does test on animals. So unfortunately, purchasing essie is still giving money to a company that refuses to stop animal testing. L’Oreal claims they are going cruelty-free in 2013, but I’ll believe it when it happens.
christineeeeeeee…will you swatch them???????????:D:D
