If you spotted actress Elle Fanning’s nails at the 2019 Met Gala, you probably first noticed the charms hanging from them. It was a camp theme, after all. But you might have also seen the poppy watermelon pink shade. We now know the bright color is called Strike a Rose and it’s part of Essie’s summer 2019 collection. Lucky Elle got an exclusive sneak peek before the limited-edition shades launched.
The six-piece collection was inspired by the rich, vibrant colors of Argentina. Even if you’re not taking a vacation to South America anytime soon, you can rock these ultra-wearable shades. There’s really something for everyone. Feeling trendy? Go for a neon. More muted and laid-back pretty? There are light peach and red-orange hues that feel fresh and new. You can even try a mix of shades, like the current trend of wearing a different color on each nail. The possibilities are endless. Shop the entire collection below.
