July's Best Beauty Buys

Polish By Number

Not to get all artistic on you, but after one look at Essie's six new nail polishes, we were seeing brilliant tropical flowers, vivid avian plumage and a very pretty way to brighten our summer...right at our fingertips. Try the blazing orange, deep pink, or, for a quieter but still provocative look, the pale, sea-foam green. Completing the palette: a fiery coral, rich tangerine, and glimmering periwinkle.
