Essie Madison Ave-Hue

I've been itching for the new 2014 Essie Resort and Spring Collections to be released, but here in Canada we are still waiting. Uggh! I'm feeling very impatient about it! My mood is shifting from winter greys and vampy hues to the bright and soft pastels of Spring, so I thought I'd share a chic pink from last year's Spring Collection.

This was the namesake for the Madison Ave-Hue Collection and it's a gorgeous bright pink with silver flecks of shimmer in it. The shimmer is even visible on the nail so that's a bonus ;) This is a slightly cool pink with a blue undertone to it. It probably isn't even the best pink for my skin tone and yet I still wear it and love it.

Color: Essie Madison Ave-Hue (2 coats)
Base: Essie Ridge Filling Base Coat
Top Coat: Sally Hansen Insta-Dri
Cuticles: Essie Apricot Oil

The formula of this polish is great. It applies easily and smooth and it's completely opaque in 2 coats. The 4 polishes that I own from this collection are all fantastic (check out Maximillian Strasse Her and Go Ginza.)
