[Nail polish company Essie](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gel-by-essie) is teaming up with jewelry designer Judith Ripka to create three new shades, ‘Put A Ripka Ring On It’ (soft pink), ‘Heart My JR Jewels’ (deep burgundy) and ‘Queen of Hearts’ (true red).

These three new shades not only polish your nails, but they also exude a sense of luxury as they each contain jewels. One shade will hold a diamond, one an emerald and the last a sapphire.
