One 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.
As 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.
Perfect color for “sweater weather” :)
What is your favorite nail polish color for Autumn/Winter?
