OK, I believed that was extremely clever at first…but now I see that it doesn’t make a lick of sense.

Haha. I’m sorry, friend, however I barely got a wink of sleep last night. We had a frightening storm with 45-mile-per-hour winds as well as nonstop rain, as well as it kept me up all night. I got with the day today, however now I’m passing out. Zzz…

I did, however, muster the energy to try on the new new Essie vintage Revival 2016 collection, which will go down in MBB history as “The Collection That Knocked Off My Red Dolce & Gabbana Christmas Mani of 2015 After about 2.5 Seconds.”

LOL!

The collection comes out next month with six $8.50 polishes, all of them throwbacks to colors that were previously released in restricted edition Essie launches, so it’s kind of a glimpse back at the brand’s 35-year history.

In the comments, visitor broantza left some dates for when these polishes very first appeared in their respective restricted edition introduces (thank you, broantza!).

Cabana boy – 2005; birthday fit – 1981; Bikini with a Martini – 2006; sequin Sash – 2005; Life of the celebration – 2002; Starry, Starry night – 1997

It’s likewise restricted edition, so if you see something you like, grab it (the collection’s on pre-sale now on the Essie website).

Essie Starry Starry night (two coats)
I’m excited about this one, particularly Starry Starry Night, which is the dark glittery midnight blue, as well as sequin Stash, the sheer glittery bronze with small flecks of glitter.

What can I say? shine — it moves me.

With those bright pieces of silver glitter, Starry Starry night might be a extremely quite pedicure color. I have a strong feeling…

I like sequin Stash, too, however not as much as I believed I would. It’s type of a peachy bronze, however I have to utilize three coats, as well as when I look at in on my nails, I state “meh.”

Essie Bikini With a Martini (three coats)
Of the others, I did not expect to like Cabana Boy, however I do. It’s an ultra cool-toned creamy white that almost looks gray, as well as I dunno…I just believe it looks neat.

And then there’s birthday Suit, which is a quintessentially creamy, semi-opaque Essie pastel; pearly pink Bikini With a Martini; as well as pearlescent reddish wine Life of the Party, which I believe is GORGEOUS.

When it comes Essie polishes, I seldom have an problem with wear time. With a base as well as top coat, I can usually get a full week out of them without any type of drama, as well as their colors? Somehow, they always handle to be wearable, even when they’re edgy.
