Essie North Folk Collection

Essie North Folk Collection, soon to be released!

Within the soft palette of hues that floated down this season’s runways, one color stood out among the rest…. blue. Dreamy blues reminiscent of bright open skies and deep welcoming waters lead essie founder Essie Weingarten to create The North Fork Collection – named for the quaint vacation villages perched around the waters of Long Island’s East End .

“The new nail colors remind me of the most beautiful blues that surround The North Fork,” says Weingarten. “Tranquil yet playful, the colors cross over in fashion and in nature.”

The nail colors in The North Fork Collection capture the essence of blue. The fashion-or azure fingertips lounging under the sun. Greenport, Sag Harbor and Shelter Island , each named after areas around The North Fork and Long Island Sound, are an homage to the beauty of nature.

GREENPORT – Dreamy aquamarine paradise
SAG HARBOR -- Cool silver blue
SHELTER ISLAND – Sky blue radiance

The North Fork Collection is a limited-edition collection, available beginning April 2009 at www.essie.com and fine spas, salons and beauty destinations worldwide. SRP $9.00 USD, $11 Canada .
