I've long been a fan of

Essie

nail polish, which is why when Kat, from their PR department, offered to send me the new Winter 2008 collection, I couldn't have been more excited. Wrapped up in a little box were shimmery golds, candy apple reds and deep purple polishes that are both festive and sultry. I went with the classic

Bold and Beautiful

on my toes and the dark

Damsel in Distress

for my fingers and then ran around Beverly Hills on yet another uncharacteristically warm Saturday.
