Essie launches 6 summer shades

NEW YORK — Nail polish brand essie has rolled out six new shades for summer. The company on Monday introduced the pastel nail polishes, which it said were inspired by sugar confections of Parisian cafés.

The new shades include éclair my love, a red candy-inspired shade; blue-la-la, a pastel blue; baguette me not, a lilac macaron-inspired color; fondant of you, inspired by apricot marmalade; lavender pink s’il vous play; and the iridescent white sweet soufflé.

The new launches all retail for $9 per bottle and currently are available at beauty destinations worldwide, the company said.
