With the Rio 2016 Olympics now in full swing, it was only last night that I finally had a chance to sit and watch some of the competitors fight it out for gold. I love gymnastics and spent two hours happily watching the women’s team final.
Not missing a beat, Essie have launched their limited edition Rio Collection, the hero shade being a super bright yellow, perfect for summer. It’s also Essie’s 1000th shade. Yes, 1000th! That’s some feat for a nail polish brand to have 1000 colours under their belt! Inspired by the bold brights of the Rio Carnival, its timing is perfect.
The Rio collection is made up of:
- Aim to Misbehave; a scandalous yellow that will have your nails misbehaving.
- Sunday Funday; turn everyday into a ridiculously good time with this beautiful, coral crush.
- Aruba Blue; escape to paradise with this frosty sapphire.
- Bahama Mama; anytime is the right time for this tropical beauty.
- Pure Pearlification; this over-the-top top coat instantly creates a lacquered shine to rival the real thing.
- Jazzy Jubilant; this hyperkinetic chromatic glitter top coat is part jazz-age shimmer, part space-age glamour.
- Naughty Nautical; sail the sexy seas and chart a course for adventure in this shimmering, brilliant blue-green, naughty never looked so nice.
The Rio collection is priced £7.99 each and can be found at www.essie.co.uk
