Essie Spring 2012 Collection

During culinary school, you're pretty much banned from having any type of polish gracing your digits. For the most part, it hasn't been too difficult for the bright color freak in me, but after receiving Essie's latest crop of fun shades at a recent party, I'm counting down the days for the end of school to come (which is actually not too far away!).

Apparently, this collection was modeled on a financial theme, with names like A Crewed Interest (elegant pink), To Buy or Not to Buy (lilac with a touch of shimmer) and Tour de Finance (bold fuschia). I think the bright coral-tinged pink - inconsistently named Ole Caliente - is my favorite among the bunch. Cannot wait for a proper mani/pedi! Which is your favorite? ;)
