Essie and Judith Ripka Channel Willy Wonka
Vogue Daily has a post up about a new collaboration between (my fave) Essie Nailpolish’s Essie Weingarten and Madison Avenue jeweler Judith Ripka. The three limited edition shades: Queen of Hearts (classic red), Put a Ripka Ring on It (sheer, sparkling pink) and Heart My JR Jewels (deep burgundy) are certainly pretty, but what makes this collaboration so exciting is a little something extra Weingarten and Ripka decided to throw in: “I wanted to make the pie really sweet,” says Weingarten. “Instead of just adding gold and platinum to the polishes, I told them to throw in a diamond!” Hidden away in three out of the 30,000 limited-edition bottles is a one-carat diamond, emerald, or sapphire.
But thinking of all the 5yrs old bottles of nailpolish that reside in my bathroom vanity… how will you ever know if your bottle is one with a golden ticket?
