Essie Cocktail Bling Nail Lacquer.

I'm pretty sure about 90% of us associate Autumn and nail polish with dark, berry shades, no? I know I do. Saying that, on a recent trip to Boots I set my eyes upon a colour I'd been longing for for the longest time. Enter Essie Cocktail Bling (£7.23), a gorgeous mid-toned grey with slight blue undertones. 

Like all polishes from the brand, when combined with a good base and top coat, you have yourself a pretty long wearing manicure. The formula of Cocktail Bling is perfect, two coats and you're set for a good few days. I've worn this several times now and it always successfully rakes in the old compliments. All I need to do now is actually let my nails grow a little longer...

Are you a fan of Essie? Will you be picking up this nail varnish? I'd also love to know your colour recommendations!

*side note: it may just be me... but I can't help talking about this without thinking 'bout Drake's Hotline Bling... anyone else?*
