Lovelyish

The colors are great, but I find the name of the line offensive, trivializing a real social & political issue. Not appropriate. This actually makes me NOT want to buy from Essie. 

@SuburbanSweetheart - I don’t really know much about the whole thing, but I do agree that it seems iffy to name the line after such a thing. I mean, the wallstreet thing isn’t like, genocide or eugenics, but it is still something that has (I assume) affected a number of people and is more or less taken as a serious issue. I’d still buy the polishes though if I liked the colours in-store. 

i love essie. the quality are really great, often one coat is enough and the colors are often vibrant. 

but in my opinion, 8-9$ are so expensive for a bottle nail polish. 

They’re pretty colours but I don’t really understand why they’re named after Occupy Wall Street.  Or what those names have to do with Occupy Wall Street.  Could someone explain it to me?  Well most of them I understand.  But Ole Caliente?  What does that have to do with OWS?  

getting these .i heart essie.

Who cares what they’re called? It’s nail polish. Pretty nail polish at that! 

@SuburbanSweetheart – Isn’t one of the points of the Occupy movement to bring awareness to this issue? I’d think the more press this gets, the better and Essie is giving them press.

A Crewed Interest <3

@prettykay04@xanga - totally agree with you.. i’m always hesitant to buy essie.. it’s a small bottle to be paying 8-9 bucks for that amount..

@ShimmerBodyCream@xanga - At this point, I doubt there’s a person in the country who hasn’t heard of OWS – and even if they haven’t, a perky color called Crewed Interest is unlikely to help educate them on the movement. We’ll have to agree to disagree on this one.

@lttlegel - SPARKLY THINGS, WHO CARES ABOUT THE WORLD?

@SuburbanSweetheart - You took my comment quite out of context. Yes, I am aware of Wall Street and other things going on in the world. However, I don’t think it’s such a big deal what they call nail polish. I don’t use nail polish because of what it’s called, I use it because of what it does. 

lol i think the collection name is brilliant — kudos to essie! Lovin the periwinkle polish, that is going in my collection.

@laetitia_luv@xanga - What on earth could be brilliant about this?

@lttlegel - I like nail pail, too, & I definitely like Essie. But wouldn’t you find it a little bit offensive if Essie named a line of polish Obamacare? How about Genocide in Darfur? The Middle Eastern Conflict? There are some things that should be kept sacred – nail polish is no place for politics.

@SuburbanSweetheart - i find that majority of the people involved in Occupy really don’t know what their agenda is. I live in Canada and they had Occupy Vancouver, which cost the city over $100,000 in damages and caused one overdose death. Although, I’m uncertain that ALL participants of this movement are morons, i find it humourous that the masses in the rally probably wouldn’t accept employment if offered to them — most are self-righteous, over educated young-adults living at mom’s house unemployed. I am uncertain about your comment pertaining to Obama, as I do not follow American politics. I am however, very happy with how my lifestyle – free health/dental and other perks of being a Canadian are.

To answer your question – i think that the name adds a little humour to a controversial, and somewhat pointless movement… i guess at one point there was value to it, until mass amounts of morons joined in. Please google Occupy Vancouver to see where I stand on this issue – as stated prior to this comment, I do not follow American politics or social issues, except knowing that your economy is fucked and I wouldn’t want to live there.

Good luck and enjoy the new collection.

@laetitia_luv@xanga - This is an ignorant & simplified view of the movement, which, I should note, I have not participated in. The thought that all/most participants are jobless – and WANT to be jobless – is laughably maddening & untrue, something that would be apparent were you to research/learn about the movement & the everyday, often EMPLOYED people who support it. Lovelyish is not the place for such a discussion, but we’ve both made our views clear, & we can leave it at that. As I said, I don’t intend to “enjoy the new collection,” because I won’t be buying Essie in the foreseeable future, unless they can reassess their sense of “humour.”

@SuburbanSweetheart - i find this laughable because i am employed in one of the largest companies in North America and nobody there supported the movement, especially since the protestors caused such moronic demonstrations infront of our locations downtown vancouver (i work in the communications end at the head office)…. LOL.

ANYWAYS… i’m not going to argue my view on this matter to someone from another country with different economical issues and politics. don’t enjoy the collection — that’s your issue not mine.

@laetitia_luv@xanga - Uh, you don’t have to work for a major company to be employed. And frankly, if you work for a major company, you’re obviously already unlikely to support an anti-corporate movement. Blinders much?

@SuburbanSweetheart - I most certainly don’t support the movement (personal and profesional). I also am happy to work for a corporate “monster” that provides me an unbelievable salary, retirement, shares, education and health care (100% coverage). …lol but i guess you don’t see these benefits being in the US; moreover, this argument we’re having really doesn’t make sense – google occupy vancouver for more info, completely different.

@laetitia_luv@xanga - I think you’re missing my point. All I said was that a great many of the people who support the movement in various cities ARE employed, & you responded that that’s laughable because no one from your major corporation did. What I’m trying to say is that that’s a blinders-on way of looking at it: Plenty of employed people do NOT work for major corporations, of course, & major corporations are exactly what they’re protesting, so of course you & your coworkers don’t support it. Seems pretty clear, right? You’re making it sound like anyone who doesn’t work for a major company is unemployed or underemployed, which is simply not the case, in the US, Canada or elsewhere.

And yes, I, too, have health insurance, benefits, retirement, the works. I do not work for a large corporation, but I think I’m doing OK. They exist in the US, too, you know.

@SuburbanSweetheart - I SAID – THE MAJORITY OF PROTESTERS IN THE VANCOUVER MOVEMENT WERE UNEMPLOYED, OVER EDUCATED, DOG FUCKERS AND THAT I AM NOT CERTAIN AS TO WHAT THE US MOVEMENT’S MAJORITY WERE LIKE. AS I HAVE STATED SEVERAL TIMES, GOOGLE OCCUPY VANCOUVER TO SEE WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT.

holy fucking christ.

@laetitia_luv@xanga - Easy, tiger.

@SuburbanSweetheart - typical amercian – take your head out of your asshole and read between the lines. done with this irrel. convo.

@laetitia_luv@xanga - Whoa, your true colors are blinding. Hateful much?

For whatever it’s worth, I did Google it & have a few articles up about it to read.

So…….I don’t get it.

I love the colors! That pink is gorgeous…and I don’t even like pink that much. XD

Ugh, give me a break.

essie has the same type of colors for every spring lol,looks like absolutely shore, haute as hello and lilacism btw any polish addicts here have wall polish rack, is it worth it

@katethoughts@xanga - Yeah, Essie is just a big yawn for me…

I’m saving my money instead for China Glaze Spring 2012 collection. >.>

Why is it called that? .__.

I think it’s hilarious. Hey, if Essie can make some money off of it, at least something good will come out of it.

I love it!! I’m going to buy every color if I can afford it. I’m very excited for it to come out.

Stop reading too much into the line name of the nail polish. It’s freaking NAIL POLISH! If you don’t like what they named it after, then don’t buy it.
