Okay, so the title of Essie’s “Starting Over” Collection may not be the most uplifting source of inspiration for those beaming brides out there, but this line of nail polishes is truly one of the best of the best. Their extensive variety of toe tints creates pizzazz in a pedicure and adds a splash of fun to the day.

Every bride should have a fresh coat of polish on her toenails, especially if donning a fierce pair of peep toe heels. While most bridal articles suggest the bride wear a subtle shade, something akin to Essie’s award-winning “Ballet Slippers” (designated a classic by beauty industry insiders) or “Adore-a-ball,” a sheer pale pink, consider going against the grain and choosing a bold hue for those toes. The Essie brand has saluted the independent woman by creating a fabulous shade entitled “Wife Goes On,” a bold, true red reminiscent of blooming gladiolas that flatters any skin tone and looks stunning peeping out of chic metallic heels.

For those who are bit apprehensive about color, consider Essie’s new bridal collection. “Blushing Bride” is a sheer pink with a hint of warm gold that looks fabulous on fingernails, though one may need a bit of a tan to pull it off on a pedicure.
