Essie's Serene Slate Collection

Although Essie's Serene Slate Collection is a few months old now, I wanted to showcase it, as it is that time of year when greys are all the rage.  This collection is a range from light greys to darkest greys. These shades have a blue undertone, and are going to be part of their permanent collection, which is why I am able to post this a bit later in the year. Of course, with all Essie polishes, it applies so perfect with a thick coat. The application brush is wide and able to coat your nails in 2 swipes. On each of the pictures, I don't have any top coat on them, as to not change the original shade. Let's take a look!

"Mindful Mediation" is described as everything from a light beige blush, to a beige creme.  It requires a couple coats to reach it's full opaqueness. 

"Toned Down" is a blueish grey shade and is described as smokey blue to pebbled grey. I absolutely love this shade.  I wear it all the time. It's so pretty . 

The next shade is named "Generation Zen" and it's shade is described as a smokey mauve, eggplant shade.  This colour is extremely generous in opacity. 

​

"On Mute" is the next shade up in the collection. This shade is described as a dark slate grey to a  charcoal grey, so it has a bit of a brown look to it.

The next shade in the collection is the collection's name sake, "Serene Slate".  This is described as a calming grey with a grey nuance.  I just call it a simple grey.

And finally, the last one in the 6 colour collection is called "Gadget Free". This shade is a gunmetal grey metallic.  If you like shiny nail polish, then this one is for you.

All in all, a nice collection of different tones of greys.  If you are in the market for a new grey shade, I would highly suggest looking up some of these Essie grey polishes.  Is grey a shade that you wear in the fall and winter months?  Do you have a favourite grey polish? You can find the shades here...
Until next time
