Essie Madison Ave-hue - Review

You'll be ready to strut your stuff in the streets of the Big Apple with Madison Ave-hue, a new nail polish shade from Essie's Spring 2013 collection. This girly yet classy combination of silvery microglitter with a cutesy pink base brings a flirty twist to the classic convention of NYC's Madison Ave.

Madison Ave-hue's bright pink attitude works well with any skin tone even with its fuchsia undertones. Whether you like the Barbie pink look or the Nicki Minaj pop of pink, this color is suitable for light and dark skin tones and anywhere in between. We were slightly disappointed at the fact that the color looked more glittery from the inside of the bottle than on actual nails. So, if you're looking for glitter to be the main show with this nail polish, think again. Nonetheless, the hint of sparkle can be just enough if you're looking for a little special something added a typical pink creme nail polish.

We love this color because it's the perfect way to add a bright pop into your look and negate any person's doubts about your abilities as a fashionista!

Our Rating: 4/5

Get Some:
Madison Ave-hue is part of Essie’s Spring 2013 collection available now. This color can usually be found at places that normally carry Essie - Target, Walgreens, Ulta, etc. Be on the lookout because the Spring colors might be on a different display from the permanent Essie polishes.

Permanent Essie polishes can also be found at Kmart and Walmart. You also can look for Essie online on Essie.com, Nordstrom.com, Beauty.com, Ulta.com, and others.
Essie polishes vary in price from around $7.50-$8.50.

Our Tips for Perfect Tips:
Make sure to shake or roll the bottle well so as to evenly distribute the microglitter and make the polish more even. Apply in thin to moderate coats to help prevent chipping and dragging. For this polish it is very important to let it dry between coats to avoid clumping. Your nails may start to chip after three to four days, depending on how many coats you applied.

Where to Wear:
Madison Ave-hue is pure fun, so we recommend treating yourself to this color when you've got big plans-- a friend's 21st birthday party, a weekend getaway with friends, a bachelorette party, etc. Don't have any fun plans coming up? Just trying to get through finals week or summer classes? No problem! Studies show that color therapy can increase a person's mood and productivity, so take advantage of Madison Ave-hue's perky vibe when you're going through stressful situations as well.
