Nail Mail and a Heartfelt Apology

Hey everybody!

I first want to start this post out with a sincere apology. Between the holidays and being sick the last couple of weeks, I wasn't able to get to a computer regularly to keep up with blogging. But this year, even if it is just a simple swatch post, I will get something up every week as I have stated. I will be testing out a variety of different posting topics, and I would love to get your feelings on each as I make them.

For starters, I'd like to start doing a segment called Nail Mail, where I'll be showcasing different sets of colors from all around the nail world as I receive them in the, you guessed it, mail! I'll give my input, the specific style, how well it works, etc etc and so forth! That gives all of you an idea if these might be sets you'd be interested in buying! I'll even post a link to each seller so you can check them out yourself!

This first set I found while I was browsing eBay (as we all know we do). I stumbled across the Retro Revival set from January 2016 for a measly $20, and I jumped on it! This includes six of what some would consider a set of Essie's most beloved colors:


  • Starry Starry Night
  • Cabana Boy
  • Birthday Suit
  • Bikini with a Martini
  • Life of the Party
  • Sequin Stash



I tested each of these colors and I love most of them. On that note, I'll give each individual polish a moment in the spotlight with a swatch, posting two a week for the next three weeks to cover everything you'll need to know about them. 

So until next time, may your paws stay polished and pristine!
