NYC PREP
A Manhattan beauty brand moves into J. Crew
This summer, we've changed our nail color more often than we've done our laundry. With new styles such as matte to the summer's hottest colors, such as our beloved neon yellows, nail polish has become our cheapest and most important accessory.
Though we don't often put J Crew in the same category as Rodarte or Chanel, they seem to be the only mass brand to follow one of the couture trends. The usually simple, but cashmere-comfortable label, has just released their own set of nail gloss in collaboration with Essie. The duo (each sold separately) includes One of a Kind, a vibrant, cherry red and Eternal Optimist, a more subdued peachy-pink.
As a fresh coat of paint always does your style wonders, we recommend getting both. Old gloss is just another form of dirty laundry.

Everything in my wardrobe is JCrew...however, this nail polish will not be. Get it cheaper somewhere else! JCrew likes to make name brands make items special for them...when really it is basically the same product but the price is increased because it's sold at JCew. Lame.

Essie released those 2 colors months ago, as part of their Spring 2009 collection. It doesn't seem like much of a collaboration with J. Crew.

Those colors look great. And $8 is not a lot for essie nailpolish - its their usual price. Essie is totally worth it since it lasts a long time, applies smoothly, and is shiny
