Hello Monday. Today’s manicure may look a bit like deja vu but I promise you it’s a bit different.
Essie has a new limited edition collection called North Fork that is full of blue and I love it. So far I’ve tried Greenport (above) and Sag Harbor (below) and I’ll try to swatch Shelter Island next. I think this collection is for the folks who think they can’t wear blue or green nail polish at 30+ but you totally can with these colors. And for those of you under 30, you’ll still love the color.
Greenport is gorgeous to me and I was surprised by the compliments I got on this color last week. It’s such a soft and soothing color but not too pastel or chalky. It’s a perfect sea green and I didn’t want to take it off. Some of you may think this reminds you of China Glaze’s For Audrey but to me it’s a bit greener and a bit softer. For Audrey wasn’t my favorite on my fingertips but Greenport became and instant love and I thought the formula applied beautifully. It’s a soft creme polish with lots of gloss and I don’t know if I can rave enough about it.
Sag Harbor is a mix between a pale blue and a dove grey…and you know how I feel about grey. There’s also a slight sheen or shimmer to this formula. I will admit, this color didn’t apply as evenly as Greenport did, but it wasn’t horrible. In order to get full color I applied 3 thin coats to my nails and that seemed to do it.
This is a limited edition collection, so I’d suggest you grab it fast if blues are your thing.

Oh, I like this color Sag Harbor a lot.. I have not seen it so far and I am in NY… hope to see it somewhere… I really think it will look great with my new pastel hippie look, which I am aiming for… I have washed out jeans and wear them under a recycled T-shirt skirt and pair that look with the most pastel color of the Converse sneakers, that light yellow color. Hey, I guess I got a complete look now
