essie defines angora cardi as a “deep dusty rose,” however, you could also call it a dark mauve nail polish.

Mauve is an enigma to think about. No one can seem to decide on what exactly is mauve, yet everyone knows mauve when they see it.

Merriam Webster defines mauve as a moderate purple, violet or lilac. Canva calls it a pale bluish purple that sits between violet and pink. Stitch Palettes shows mauve in color swatches as more of a dusty pink to brown.

Mauve seems to be a color that exists in the gradient between red-pink and purple-violet.

essie’s angora cardi fits somewhere in this gradient. It is a rich warm red-purple nail polish, offering an opaque cream finish in two easy coats, perfect for fall and winter nails.

So what do you think?

Whatever we call it, in our book of history, essie angora cardi is a quintessential color of cooler weather. It has a cozy feel, like “sweater weather” is happening on your nails.

If you’re in the United States, you can find out exactly when “sweater weather” is, courtesy of this map by The Weather Channel. “Sweater weather,” is another enigma of a concept, just like mauve.
