essie soiree mauve, A

Pros:

• vogue
• earthy undertones go unexpectedly well with other styles, color isn't jarring against clothing fashions
• more interesting than standard nudes and darker fall hues
• cheap ($8) way to implement a trend and color into your wardrobe when buying trendy autumn pieces may be out of the question

Cons:

• As with all darker polishes, chipping is more visible and more frustrating (how awful the feeling of noticing an imperfection only days after you apply the polish)

I love it and I wish I had more fingers and toes to paint this color. It's so pretty and seasonal and classy. It's considered a resort collection color, but wearing this polish is sophisticated, not showy.
