It’s a revival of the fittest over at Essie!
OK, I thought that was very clever at first…but now I see that it doesn’t make a lick of sense.
Haha. I’m sorry, friend, but I barely got a wink of sleep last night. We had a scary storm with 45-mile-per-hour winds and nonstop rain, and it kept me up all night. I got through the day today, but now I’m passing out. Zzz…
I did, however, muster the energy to try on the new new Essie Retro 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 limited edition Essie launches, so it’s sort of a glance back at the brand’s 35-year history. In the comments, reader broantza left some dates for when these polishes first appeared in their respective limited edition launches (thank you, broantza!).
Cabana Boy ? 2005; Birthday Suit ? 1981; Bikini with a Martini ? 2006; Sequin Sash ? 2005; Life of the Party ? 2002; Starry, Starry Night ? 1997
It’s also limited edition, so if you see something you like, grab it (the collection’s on pre-sale now on the Essie website).
