In this post, you’re going to see 3 sunset themed nail colors from essie.

I decided to create this post after spending 2 years swatching my nail polish collection and seeing these shades remain at the top of my essie pile.

I really felt these colors just looked so nice together and wanted to showcase them as a mini collection, although they were released at different times.

Because I have warmer toned skin, I have a lot of warm toned polish, which is how I ended up with these shades in my collection, and I am happy to now be finally featuring them.

You can wear a warm toned nail polish any time of the year. You can wear it to match your skin tone, outfit or mood. 

However, when spring comes and the Earth starts to warm up, you may find yourself reaching for more fiery tones - colors with a bit of yellow, orange and red.

essie is a polish brand well known for its variety in color palette offerings, including those with warmer hues for warmer days.

So below, find swatches of 3 essie warmed toned nail polishes to love:

you know the espadrille is from the essie spring 2021 collection and it’s a honey bee yellow cream that is opaque in 2 coats.

Being opaque in 2 coats, this color is a unique gem in the world of yellow nail polishes, where most are 3 coat minimums and some require 4 coats for even coverage.
