Essie's new bridal collection is hardly what we've come to expect from a traditional bridal manicure, and that's precisely why we love it. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't seriously giddy seeing a color palette that plays outside of the traditional range of pink, nude, and white. This cheerful lineup has fingers (and toes) covered from bachelorette party to honeymoon in the tropics. Naturally, there is also something fitting for the big day, be it a traditional sheer pink (like Coming Together) or stunning creamy violet (like Groom Service). No matter the color or the occasion, these soft shades are equal parts unexpected and beautifully elegant, every bit fitting for a bride.

Passport to Happiness ($9) is a muted mint green with a subtle iridescence that lends a pretty twinkle without being full-on glitterfest.
