As promised, here is the rest of the Essie Spring 2011 French Affair Collection, which is on shelves now.

It’s a really beautiful departure from the crazy glitter, metallic, duochrome , bright, bright, bright we have been inundated with. These are delicious creams that you could sink your teeth into, like little bits of fudgey goodness.

The collection namesake, French Affair, is a chalky pastel pink that errs on the side of lilac. Very pretty and utterly delicious.
