essie gel couture bridal x Monique Lhuillier

Wedding season is upon us which means that brides everywhere are anxiously fine-tuning their dress, shoes, hair and makeup for their special day. This wedding season is close to my heart as April 7th marks 10 years of marriage for me. I can’t believe how quickly 10 years has flown by. It feels like just yesterday that I picked the perfect nail polish to compliment my engagement ring, and later wedding ring.  I chose essie mademoiselle and blanc for a classic french when I first got engaged, and then I wore essie A-list (a classic red), on my wedding day. Every year essie launches a new bridal collection that I can’t wait to get my hands on. This year essie introduces essie gel couture bridal collection by Monique Lhuillier.

The essie gel couture bridal collection features six luxurious shades inspired by Monique Lhuillier’s bridal designs. essie gel couture lasts up to 14 days, which makes them the perfect pick for your wedding day turn to honeymoon. Who wants those nasty chipped nails on your honeymoon?

essie dress is more

What a stunning milky white polish. Even with the sheer factor of this hue, it covered perfectly in 2 coats.

essie lace to the alter

This hue is the perfect frosty white that looks gorgeous with 3 coats, but is equally impressive layered on top of another darker colour.

essie berry in love

I love a bride who breaks from the norm and wears something daring on her special day. How stunning is this perfect berry?

essie blush worthy

Yumminess (is that a word?) in a bottle. I love this classic blush with gold flecks suspended throughout. It covers beautifully in 2 coats.

essie to have & to gold

How fantastic would this hue look paired with complimentary gold heels? I’m thinking these Jimmy Choos would be perfect. Love this shade!

sage you love me

This creamy green/grey is a gorgeous break from traditional nudes. Understated, yet so perfect.

I honestly don’t think that the essie gel couture bridal collection could be any more perfect. All six shades share the spotlight and if I were getting married again, I would find it difficult to choose. I think you’ll see me wearing dress is more on my 10 year anniversary!

essie gel couture bridal collection by Monique Lhuillier launches on April 18th 2017.
