It’s no secret that women have a weird relationship with underwear: we want it to look nice, but be comfortable.  It needs to be lacy and little, stay in place and prevent panty lines.  And that’s just panties – our list of necessities is much longer when it comes to shapewear (like Spanx).

But the pay off that comes with a great pair of undies is undeniable: we feel supported and comfortable, yet sexy and powerful.  It doesn’t matter if the only person who sees me in my thong is my cat (who appears to be more confused by my lack of fur than anything else) – I still strut a bit when I’m wearing my power panties … More than a few pairs of which are from Hanky Panky.  I love the brand’s low rise thongs (a must when you’re 5’2 – regular panties end up coming up to my bra), available in comfy lace fabric.

So imagine my delight when I found out that my power panty brand of choice has teamed up with my pedicure polish brand of choice, Essie (makers of the delightful Ballet Slippers and carefree Bike Ride, among other dazzling hues).

Details of how you can score two Hanky Panky panties and a matching Essie polish, after the jump!
