Essie - Originals Remixed | Swatch & Review

[@naillacquertherapy]

Head 2 Toe Beauty’s physical store location is 10 minutes away from me and I asked the owners why they weren’t getting new Essie collections. He said that ever since L’Oréal bought them out, they seem to want to only deal with big companies like Walmart. He said it was becoming too much of a hassle. But, they still get new China Glaze and Color Club at great prices!

[@hayleypflug7384]

This might sound weird but I think Satin Slip would be a great color for summer, because with that jelly finish, it reminds me of popsicles and Kool aid lol. Just me?

[@lovelyrita4953]

Essie should re release all their old polishes with the new brush. I would love the original wicked with the new wide brush.

[@taylor.m.24]

lovelyrita I re-purchased a bottle of topless and barefoot a couple weeks ago and it has the wide brush. They didn’t publicize anything but I think they’ve been transitioning older colors to the new brush.

[@nailpolishedlife279]

lovelyrita Larissa from polished lab rat did a video and figured out that you can swap the old Essie brush with a wide flat brush from glisten and glow which are 12 cents each! ❤️

[@lovelyrita4953]

@@nailpolishedlife279 Thank you!

[@charlottedelaet6676]

I am always so happy when you filmed a new nail polish collection! Seriously it makes my day ☺️

[@cat_623]

After some thought and time to let the idea behind this collection sink in, I embrace the concept. I think it's creative, different, and fun, even though most of the shades are not my cup of tea.

[@inesbozic6344]

Glitters and metallic nail polishes are beautiful in this collection! I love metallic and glitter nail polishes!

[@SummerBaby731]

I’m actually wearing Smokin’ Hot right now. And I will be on the lookout for Below Zero

[@ashleyj0]

Wow below zero and wicked fierce are pretty cool

[@robinr5337]

Those are the two that I liked as well.

[@a_bookish_gemini]

I actually own Smokin Hot but mine is a solid Creme; no shift and no shimmer. Funny how they changed it up entirely for a “remix”. I’m liking the idea of these though, might get them just for the cute bottles.

[@charlottedelaet6676]

Can you do a review of the new essie expressie line? Cuz I don’t find a lot of reviews of it and I value your swatches and reviews

[@dabnailz5805]

i just saw these yesterday in Walgreens and i was thinking i wonder if Jess is gonna swatch them..and here we are!!!

[@jennas3153]

I got mine at CVS. They also had the originals in the LE bottles too.

[@latishabooker9481]

I saw the collection in CVS today- I hadn’t watched your video yet so I’m going back tomorrow 😍

[@nothingisreal27]

Below Zero is actually really cool, I will have to grab that one if I see it out and about!

[@helencb9940]

Great review Jess! This is a really cool idea! There are a couple here I would love to pick up!! Thanks for finding these for us!! X

[@mrendon80]

I saw the full display with original and remixed bottles at Bed Bath & Beyond. Was waiting for your swatches to determine which ones to get 🤗

[@hayleypflug7384]

Lol I actually gasped when you swatched wicked fierce. So pretty!

[@Girlytang]

Saw both the originals and inspired versions at Walgreens last night. Great video.

[@SabinaPoppea]

Love the hair!!!

[@giggles1219]

This collection is also available on Ulta's website.

[@femketjeNL]

I really need to get me some more essie polishes, still only have about 6 :')

[@sneakerteacher89]

Lol yea your Ballet Slippers is supadupa faded. I bought a new bottle recently, it does fade easily which really is annoying.

[@thecatlady2710]

Agree!

[@TeriWellsNails]

I think satin slip is my favorite! The only problem I have with it is that it’s not full coverage. I don’t like to see my nail line. I do like the idea of the collection, but the colors are not something i would typically reach for...

[@mxwong90]

They've been at my local Harmon's discount for like two weeks now!

[@jacquelinedimattia774]

Love Berry Nice and Wicked Fierce 💜

[@LisaHoneychan]

I really like all of these colors! I’ll be ordering on Amazon this week, thanks for posting this collection

[@Judykag]

Can you do an updated favorites for transitions and into spring video?

[@strawberryseed1886]

I like Wickedly Fierce. I’d love it if they’d used enough multi chrome pigment.

[@Catlady8]

I saw these at my CVS today in Atlanta.

[@lisamaria6644]

Ballet sneakers is the matte version of ballet slippers. I found these at my local CVS as well as those originals with the symbols on it. I've been more into mademoiselle than ballet slippers for daily wear. That ballet sneakers I think looks weird on me.

[@helencb9940]

Oh my gosh Jess. I am just starting to watch this video but you need Angora Cardi and Smoking hot. They are classics!

[@jessFACE90]

I'm kind of hoping to come across the special edition bottles of the originals that go along with this collection, but I haven't seen them yet!

[@helencb9940]

@@jessFACE90 oh right! I hope you find them :)

[@amberkeys6306]

And also... do you know of any black polish with pink glitter or shimmer or anything of that short. I cannot find black with pink anywhere

[@suzem8]

Not watched for a while but your hair looks AMAZING 😍

[@isabellebergevin]

Cool! Can't wait to find these at my store!

[@saral6978]

Below Zero is definitely my favorite!

[@artisticnailsandmakeup1882]

I saw these at Fred Meyer if anyone has one of those stores near them and wants these polishes (:

[@elizabethmainstruck2009]

Omg I LOVE THIS collection it's so funky and vampy. I think I'm going to get Like a Rebel, Below Zero and Wicked Fierce. So not spring or summer colors lol but I don't I've always been a fall/winter girl.

[@katieamarsh]

Wow there are a lot of really nice colors in this college

[@JJBabbles]

WOAH. It's been a while since an Essie collection has really interested me (aside from the Mercury Retrograde duos - love most of those) These are great! I especially like Berry Nice, Below Zero & Like a Rebel :) If I wasn't such an indie addict I would be trying to hunt these down asap!! I hope they eventually make it into drugstores here at a lower price & I might pick up a few! P.s. I'm absolutely LOVING your Purple hair 😍

[@shellymac7597]

My favorite is Berry Nice.

[@katelyncyrankowski8191]

These are available at cvs!

[@BrittMFH]

I do like Berry Nice! TFS 😊

[@DaniGaro]

Where are we supposed to buy these??? I dont see them on amazon or the essie website :(

[@stacyforesmandefenbaugh4374]

Was like a rebel supposed to be a take on lady like? If so, it’s a super neutral skin tone color.

[@jwlundgren]

I love the bottles but my Collection is getting way too big. I like Like a Rebel, Below Zero, and Wicked Fierce. I have Ladylike and Wicked, I Think they are more creme than shimmer. So this is a nice change and makes it a completely different color.

[@blueclarity]

I either loved them or really didn't, thanx for the review!

[@laluta9]

Ballet Sneakers 💓

[@georgesnails83]

Love below zero! X

[@skinnygirl82]

You are looking super cute today!

[@sierra734]

Below Zero I like tfs 🌑👍🏼

[@mhnak5447]

Originals Remixed - heard the name and I was hoping this collection would be reformulations of Essie classics that had horrible formulas like; Bikini so Teeny, Mint Candy Apple and Fiji. It's odd how the new 'remixed' polishes have little in common with their inspiration polishes. I wonder why Essie chose to call this collection, 'Originals Remixed'? I have to say I'm disappointed...but anyway, thanks for swatching!

[@dheredia2789]

Satin Slip looks nothing like my Angora Cadi. I like it better though!

[@loisrhodes4]

I agree...I have 2 of original and it's a medium burgundy. I like this new one also😍

[@Annikichan]

Is Angora cardi a jelly as well?

[@janeplants7571]

My Ballet Slippers is pretty new, but so streaky. Had such high hopes for Ballet Sneakers. Looks awful. 😬

[@amberkeys6306]

How do u find out about new collections so early

[@jessFACE90]

I periodically check a few websites (amazon, 8ty8beauty, etc) and sort by new or search for info on new seasonal collections from the mainstream brands.

[@catherinerose9669]

What is the point of this release? Taken as a collection, it's like a group of disconnected, un-spring time colors and finishes all mushed together. Taken as a concept, the idea that they are reimagining of classic colors strikes me as odd, as mainly nail polish collectors would care. But while (IMO) nail polish collectors might own Ballet Slippers or Wicked, they are not colors that stand out in the imagination like Starry Starry Night or Ruby Slippers might if Essie reimagined THOSE colors. So I am doubly confused. The bottles are cute, though. So I guess that's something.

[@blessedpandagirl]

nice to know ballet sneakers is as much of a pain in the ass as ballet slippers.... a lot of this collection is really cool, but i don't get the "remix" idea. these aren't remixes, they are entirely new polishes. it's just marketing, and not even creative marketing. ...i think i just don't really like essie...

[@imanistrong4054]

This collection was unimpressive. Although the concept was cute, there are only two shades worth buying and I would still wait for a sale.

[@bootscooty]

I was going to say this woman's face is a little too unique and then I saw her username 🤣
