41 thoughts on “Essie Collections List

    • I hope she updates too! I collect the older essie’s (80s and 90s), and I think I can identify their earliest themed collection ( a few essie’s sequentially numbered under 100 that are obviously related). I’d love to collaborate with her list, as I’ve got some early essie’s not mentioned anywhere on the web, including this list! It’s been an amazing resource for identification – I’m here nearly every day 😭

  1. Hope you are well!
    I picked up a bottle of L’Orangerie (260), a warm toned poppy red orange, on your unknown colors list. It’s so gorgeous! Wish I could figure out the release date for it. If you have any tips on year identifiers, let me know!
    It has a smooth, non-embossed discreet bottle, with the only marking being the bottom sticker. What throws me off is that it was distributed in Lynbrook instead of Astoria, which makes me think it is quite early! Seems like the only shred of existence online is your page here and the eBay listing I got it from!

  2. Omg you’re an angel!!! Exactly what I was looking for, since the main Essie website only goes back a couple of collections which is not very helpful when you want to go further back into their history! 👏☺️

  3. I actually put these into a spreadsheet and took out the duplicates (the colors you weren’t sure if they existed, some of them had already been put into their collections, etc) and also reordered the names so the numbers came first. I was able to figure out where some of the missing polishes seemed to go. I can also say that once essie hit the mass market, the numbering system has definitely gone out the window. If you are interested in seeing the spreadsheet, to help clean up some of the unknowns and group some of the themed collections, let me know. This is a great resource and I really enjoy it.
    Also, you can add “Oui Madame” as #32 (032). I haven’t swatched it yet but it just came into my hands.

      • This has been so amazingly helpful for me, just wanted to say thank you!!
        Also the Lounge Lover 2016 one is Shade On not Shades On, but that’s not really a big difference 🙂

  4. Hi! I cannot thank you enough for this amazing compilation. I only started collecting Essie in 2012, but I have every color that’s come out since then and a good handful from before. I’m a little obsessed 🙂
    I had a few updates and questions I wanted to note. ‘E-nuf is e-nuf’ only has one f now. From what I can tell it looks like it used to be spelled with two though. ‘Mesmerize’ is now ‘mezmerised’. Again, it looks like this is a change and it used to be different. ‘Lapis of luxury’ should be ‘lapiz of luxury’. I can confirm mod square was renamed from mod squad. I don’t know the history of the rename, although i believe it had to do with the L’Oréal purchase like many other of their minor name changes. Also, I have a color called ‘berry naughty’ which I don’t see listed. It may be the same as ‘berry hard’? I cannot confirm that at all. Lastly, I wanted to add the color ‘barefoot in blue’. It was a collaboration with Toms shoe company for their ‘one day without shoes’ event in 2012. Essie and Toms gave away 15,000 bottles of the limited addition color for free.
    Thanks again for all your efforts! I would seriously be lost without this resource.

    • Hi! I’m very interested in documenting every single essie nail polish. Do you think I can convince you to send me pictures of the labels of all your nail polishes, to see the name and number? The numbers are especially hard to find…

  5. Ok last comment I promise 😉 It’s spelled “Recessionista” and not “Ressionista”… And “Guchi Muchi Puchi” also goes under the name “Muchi Muchi”, thought you might want to add it? 🙂

  6. Hey! I’m missing “Decadent Dish” from your list. Also a few corrections: it’s “Miss Fancy Pants”, not just “Fancy Pants”, and it’s “Peach daiquiri” not “Peach Daquiri”. Keep up the awesome work! Your blog is my holy grail 😀

  7. I have two that I believe are not on this list, Mod Square… which is different than Mod Squad unless there was a typo on here or the bottle…. and Forever Yummy which is like a pink/red! I bought both recently at Walmart.

    • I looked into both, can’t figure out Mod Square yet. It seems that Forever Yummy is another name for Forever Young from Fall 2008 because they have the same number (656).

      • Also actually, in 2017 you’re missing the Fesch-ionista Oktoberfest Collection. I don’t know all of the shades in it but I have Janker Chic 508 and Fesch-ionista 510 but I’m sure Google would give you the rest 🙂
        Also the 2018 Concrete Glitters Collection, I have 574 Stay Up Slate and 577 Night Owl but I know there’s 6 in that collection because I looked them up sometime last year, I don’t remember all the names though.

  8. Hi Abbi, I’m sorry I haven’t been back to this site in quite some time to read the message. Unfortunately I no longer have any of the polishes from back then. I am a compulsive ‘thrower-outer’ lol and am always cleaning out things. Perhaps they may pop-up on ebay though, I feel as though I’ve seen them when I did a search. However, I’d be hesitant to wear any polish from that time frame because the still had the ingredients that have now been banned. I think it’s really cool that you collect vintage polish!

  9. I have an essie polish named “Milky Way” which is a J Crew exclusive. I think there is another J Crew exclusive named “Peep Show” too. Didn’t find them on your list 😉

  10. This is an amazing compilation. I very much appreciate all the work that went into this creating this reference. I remember wearing Martini Cocoa, Like Linen, Baby’s Breath and Swing Velvet in the late 90s. I discovered your site trying to figure out when Fiji debuted and I see it must be one of the older shades now. I know it is permanent along with A-list and Bordeaux my other staples. Would you happen to know which 42 shades are part of the permanent collection? Do you know if Style Hunter or Urban Jungle are part of the permanent line? Thanks so much for all your effort.

    • Urban Jungle has been discontinued and just this summer Essie Canada was taking a poll on their Instagram (I saw this from Sr Stylist Rita Remark) to see which color you would like them to bring back. Style Cartel and Starry Starry Night were among the requests. Since you had Essie in the 1990s, are there any you saved and don’t want anymore/ would be willing to let go (dried out or not)? I am becoming a novice collector!

  11. Thanks for posting this list. I recently got into nail polish collecting and Essie is one of the brands I would like to build. This list is very helpful in not missing any treasures 🙂
