Essie Maximillian Strasse-her Review

With that big work presentation coming up, you'll be hard pressed to find another color to match your three piece suit. If matchy-matchy is not your style, that's perfectly fine, too. Most likely named after a designer shopping district in Germany, Maximillian Strasse-her is appropriate for play as well. This color is well suited for tying together a playfully vibrant outfit (we're looking at you, neon and mismatching prints enthusiasts!). Maximillian Strasse-her is a part of Essie's Spring 2013 collection.

Maximillian Strasse-her's light gray will bring about a calm sophistication, especially for cooler skin tones. A greenish tinted gray in the bottle, Maximillian's green tint mostly fades when applied. This creme gray color is another one of Essie's great quality polishes without any of that extra glitter and shimmer nonsense. Nonetheless, it is a good staple if you do not have a gray in your collection and need that neutral color for the office but still want a little twist.

We love this color because it's versatile and a perfect example of work hard, play hard.

Our Rating: 4/5

Our Tips for Perfect Tips:
Make sure to shake or roll the bottle well and make the polish more even. Apply in thin to moderate coats to help prevent chipping and dragging. Let dry between coats to avoid clumping. Your nails may start to chip after four to five days, depending on how many coats you applied.

Where to Wear:
Maximillian Strasse-her is poised yet sassy, so we recommend this color for pretty much anything-- balancing out that neon outfit of yours when you're out with friends, or looking fresh and fly for a job interview with your dream company. We are all busy ladies from school to work to family and friends, so Maximillian is the perfect way to treat yourself right and look put-together for everything your week might entail.
