NOTD: Essie – “Carry on”

essie carry on swatchOne of my favorite nail polish colors for Autumn and Winter has got to be Essie’s “Carry on”. Although I love dark colored nails all year long, I think we all know that they are especially popular during those colder and cozier months of the year.

“Carry on” is a deep brown-burgundy color that changes its tones depending on the light source. In direct sunlight, it tends to look more red, whereas in regular daylight it looks like a dark brown color, almost black.

essie carry onAs with all Essie nail polishes, this one is very long lasting (7 days for me, with both base and top coat+ daily house work, including dish-washing;) ) and it doesn’t chip at all. Great thing about this color, is that it goes with absolutely everything, it’s just a classic.

What is your favorite nail polish color for Autumn/Winter?

    Gorgeous Perfect for fall! My favorite right now is Essie’s ‘Thigh High’, a deep ruby red. I’m wearing it on my nails today :)

        “Sable Collar” looks so pretty It’s from the new Winter Collection, right? Too bad, that it takes so long till this color will be available in Germany :(

          Yes, it’s from the new Winter Collection. I didn’t know you were from Germany :) I’m originally from Poland so we’re sort of neighbors :)

    I like the dark color. It reminds me of black but at the same time, it has something nice to it.

      Me too! It’s a nice alternative to just plain black. Love purple and burgundy tones:)
