Essie Essie Fall '11 4 Pc Mega Mini Color Cube

 (10 customer reviews)

The fall 2011 Essie color collection, Brand New Bag, is based off of mid-century womens handbags.
There are six colors, four of which are in the mini-cube.
Included in the cube are:

Power Clutch - a deep gray-green
Very Structured - burnt sienna
Carry On - very deep burgundy
Lady Like - a soft mauve

Not included are the two nude-like neutrals:

Case Study - camel
Glamour Purse - almond taupe

Power Clutch and Carry On are very dark indeed. In poor lighting they look black. In good light Power Clutch looks like a murky army green which places it squarely on trend for this fall season.
Carry On is a deep wine color in natural light with undertones of brown.
Very Structured is a velvety brown with an orange undertone. It's a nice color and I actually do own a few bags in the shade.
Lady Like is a nice soft pink. There's nothing outstanding about it, but it screams classic. You could wear this everyday...Read more

I love the Essie Mini's!! Its a cost effective way to try all of the latest colors of the season, without committing to a large bottle. The Fall 2011 line in particular, I don't love. "Lady Like" is my favorite of the bunch... a neutral mauve, beige. "Carry On" is a VERY dark purple and a little too "goth" for my taste. I haven't had a chance to put on "Very Structured" or "Power Clutch," but I look forward to doing so. "Power Clutch" is a dark grey and "Very Structured" is a toasted pumpkin. All 4 colors are very in line with the Fall trends, its just a matter of taste!

This essie 4pc has super pretty, timeless colors, and the well known essie quality. What else could you ask for?
