Happy Friday! Since my current self-done manicure is in Essie's Geranium (no. 5 down below!) and I find myself using this color no matter what the season is, I wanted this Friday Five to consist of the particular Essie shades I like to use year round. When you can't really decide what color you feel like painting your nails, you should always have some go-to nail polishes. I love all five of the colors below and I always find that the formula of each shade is perfect for a quick and neat manicure with two simple coats. Find out what the exact color names are below! If you want a challenge, and are an Essie fanatic like I am, try and guess first! ;)
Links Below!
1. Chinchilly - No matter what time of year it is, this is definitely one of my favorite nail polishes ever. The color is more of a purple/gray when you have it on your nails and it just looks great with everything. Even not on nails, I just like this color in general!
2. Set in Stone - Although I never wear this polish on it's own, I find myself playing around with it all the time. Whether I add it to one or two nails (my ring and pinkie finger seem to be my thing) or over any color on every nail for some extra glam, this polish is great to have in your collection.
3. Over the Edge - This is my go-to dark nail polish. It is almost black but has sort of a dark dark metallic charcoal thing going on. I use this a lot for a pedicure and got my mom wearing it all the time. Yeah, my mom can be edgy (not really).
4. Topless and Barefoot - This is a such a beautiful color. It is the perfect nude nail shade. It applies so nicely too. Such a classic look that can be used any time of year.
5. Geranium - Like I mentioned earlier, this is what I am currently wearing right now as I type. It is my favorite Essie red by far. I'm really not into those 'true' red colors, and this one has a brighter effect without too much orange. It applies so smoothly too. Definitely my go-to red!
Here are some pictures I found from my Instagram featuring some of the colors. I did all of them myself :)

I have been using #4 & 5 for years now. They are my go to but after seeing your darker options I think I should branch out a little more. Essie always has the prettiest colors!
