A fragrance and nail polish (and nail art!) collab? Yes, you’ve got this beauty lover’s attention.
Ralph Lauren’s collaborated with Essie to create four exclusive nail polishes for the RL collection of Big Pony fragrances for women.. There’s four fragrance personalities: sporty, sensual, free-spirited and stylish — each in bright coloured bottles and the Essie polishes matches each shade.
And taking it to another level, Essie Canada also had their lead nail artist, the lovely Rita Remark,create custom nail art looks for each personality. For a tutorial on creating the sensual nail look (my fave of the four) clickon over to Fashion Magazine. Fragrance-wise, though, the sporty #1 is calling my name. I don’t think of myself as sporty, but the freshness of the scent seems just right for spring. Spring does make me want to be sporty, come to think of it.
In stores now, each set comes includes a 50-mL fragrance and matching Essie polish in a drawstring bag ($47 each at the Bay and Sears). In Quebec (my hometown province, what, what!), a the bag includes a 30-mL fragrancem, a 50-mL body mist and the matching polish ($67 each exclusively at Jean Coutu).
What personality are you? Sporty, sensual, free-spirited or stylish? And does your fragrance preference match your nail art style choicer?

Nail-job craving: This mani is actually from a few months ago — but I couldn’t post it back then as the shades are from the winter 2013 collection from Essie. I love turquoise on my nails in the summer, though, so gravitated immediately to this shade in the collection.
How I satisfied that craving: With Essie in Where’s My Chauffeur? and one accent nail in a sparkly gold Beyond Cozy.
How this nail colour make me feel: Like I should be enjoying a glass of champagne on a chaise longue at a posh private beach.
Love it or hate it: Love both nail colours. Wish I knew where I stashed the bottles so I could redo this manicure right now! The sparkly nail is, however, making me think I should buy the Miu Miu glitter booties I tried on yesterday…

Nail-job craving: I gave my nails a break from nail polish for three days (longest three days ever — and I had several people say “Whoa, I’ve never seen you without nail polish!”). But I had an event to head to last night, and I grabbed the first nail colour I had in my stash.
How I satisfied that craving: Just out of convenience (the bottle was on my desk), I applied two coats of Essie in Who is the Boss?
How this nail colour make me feel: I actually expected the colour to feel too Easter-y, but I figured one pastel shade before moving into deeper colours for fall was in order. The colour is actually much more wearable than I expected — it’s muted and has a hint of grey to it. It fits the somber mood I’m in with summer coming to an end soon. (Which on one hand I’m sad about, but on the other hand, it’s going to make marathon training a helluva lot more pleasant!)
Love it or hate it: Love.
