Since I do not have any of the Essie Spring 2022 <\/a>collections yet, I thought I would continue reviewing old collections. Today it’s time for the Spring 2004 ‘Madison Avenue’ collection<\/strong>. Sadly, I only own four shades<\/strong> of this collection, but the good news is that three of them are still available today!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the official description that I was able to find on the old Essie website using the Wayback machine:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ESSIE SPRINGS TO LIFE ON MADISON AVENUE! Home to the best fashion has to offer, New York\u2019s finest food, quaint caf\u00e9\u2019s and one-of-a-kind designer boutiques, it\u2019s no wonder Manhattan\u2019s prestigiously chic upper east side inspired Essie\u2019s Spring 2004 Madison Avenue Collection.<\/p>

\u201cSpring 04\u2019 is a spectacular fashion feast! The runways from New York, London, Milan, & Paris offered pretty-as-a-picture fresh looks and enough dresses to fill up a party-hoppers closet for months! Colour-mixing bright, eccentric extras and cheerful motifs is the colour story for spring. Natural, classic, and elegantly neutral nails complemented the vibrant colours pouring down the catwalks. Crisp, clean, sheer romantic pastels are the must-have accessories for Spring. There is no shortage of colour contrasts combining a touch of nostalgic glamour with updated and tempting sweet fashions.\u201d <\/p>–Essie Weingarten, Founder, Essie Cosmetics, Ltd<\/span>, February 2004, <\/span>https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20040211000004\/http:\/\/www.essie.com\/whatsnew\/index.php?sub=collections<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

I think it’s pretty clear that Essie was inspired by the latest fashion trends of that moment. I was 11 when this collection was released, and I don’t really remember a lot of nail polish collections back then, but I do remember that most models always had sheer polish on their nails. Although it doesn’t say the name of the collection in the description, on the display the title of the collection was ‘Madison Av’, which is pretty funny especially if you remember that the Spring collection before this one was inspired by Central Park<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
