Essie Fall 2013 “For The Twill of It” Nail Polish Swatches & Review
If there’s one takeaway from my encounters over the years with Essie founder, Essie Weingarten, it’s that she loves fashion and color. Of all her seasonal collections, it’s the Essie Fall color palettes that express that best. Inspired by the textures and fabrics of the season, the Essie Fall 2013 “For The Twill of It” nail colors are rich, chic and utterly Essie.
Essie Fall 2013
“I love the idea of creating polish that’s like the proverbial boyfriend sweater – in this case, a blazer borrowed from the boys,” says brand founder and Global Creative Director Essie Weingarten. “Creating nail color with a warm and fuzzy feeling can be tricky,” Weingarten explains. “But when you get it right, it really is like putting on your favorite sweater.” Transferring the soft volumes and rich woolens of the fall runways, essie offers six seductively tactile shades that radiate beautifully tailored warmth.

FingerPaints Bare No Secrets and Our Tips Are Tealed from A Pair Affair by All Lacquered Up
They say parents shouldn’t pick favorites among their children. And when it comes to my FingerPaints “A Pair Affair” nail polish collection for Sally Beauty, the colors are like my children.

Tweed Inspired Nail Art Tutorial with Sally Hansen Fuzzy Coat #IHeartMyNailArt
When it comes to doing nail art, my motto is to keep it attainable, not aspirational. I love to look at intricate, hand-painted designs as much as the next nail fanatic, but I’ll never attempt them myself because I just don’t have the steady hand or artistic skills for it.
Every look I create is something I feel a decent polisher, like myself, can DIY. That’s why I was excited to participate in the Sally Hansen #IHeartMyNailArt campaign featuring the Sally Hansen Fuzzy Coat nail polishes.
As you know, I’ve showed you ways to wear the Fuzzy Coat polishes previously but, for this campaign, I wanted to reach outside my comfort zone and try something new. A tweed coat from the Chanel Fall 2013 Haute Couture collection became my inspiration and I’m really happy with how the look turned out. Keep reading to see how I did it.
