Charcoal Grey Nails with Essie Smokin’ Hot

One of my favorite things about fall and winter is the switch to rich, dark nail colors. Essie Smokin’ Hot is my go-to dark polish. It’s a rich, dark grey cream with a hint of purple fom their Winter 2010 collection. It has a glossy finish, like most Essie polishes, and a smooth application. The purple tint shows the most in direct light.

Here’s Smokin’ Hot in natural light and then with a flash. I have a coat of Essie 3-Way Glaze on top as well:

Have you tried Smokin’ Hot? What’s your go-to dark polish shade?

I love Smokin’ Hot and will try – maybe the purple tone will prevent it from looking too green in certain light. Also LOVE midnight cami for the cold months..
