Of all the new Fall 2011 nail polish collections out there, I narrowed my favs down to three: OPI's Miss Universe, Essie's Carry On and, Zoya's Smoke & Mirrors. Each collection carries its' own features that I love...but mostly...it's all about the sparkle!
Below you will find a summary of each of these three collections, along with my fav choices♥. Stay tuned to future posts on which colors I actually chose to add to my own Fall 2011 (ever growing) nail polish collection.

Four piece collection that is full of sparkle and shimmer

Swimsuit..Nailed It!/ vibrant shiny-blue shimmer

Inspired by handbags, the collection of six creamy shades offers a return of classic, elegant, lady-like glamour.

“The accessories that you wear and carry say so much about who you are and who you want to be.” says Essie Weingarten, founder of Essie Cosmetics. “The same is true with your manicure and your nail color. The first thing a person notices when they meet you for the first time are: your shoes, your handbag and your nails.”
Includes the following nail colors:
Carry On/ magnetic mulberry merlot♥
Glamour Purse/ almond blush
Case Study/ rich carmel beige
Power Clutch/ enigmatic darkest green
Very Structured/ creamy burnt sienna♥
Lady Like/ pretty demure pink
~ ZOYA's Smoke & Mirrors Collection ~
