The new Essie collection will make you want to do your nails

Once upon a time (like three weeks ago) many of us would kick off the weekend with a fresh manicure, and I was one of them. Although I’ve been doing my nails myself for the past few months to help them recuperate from one too many Nexgen manicures, I’ve stuck to this weekly ritual simply out of habit (and greatly improved my skills)—and there’s no reason you should give up on your nails for the foreseeable future.

And since we can all use something to get excited about, check out Essie’s new limited-edition Originals Remixed collection. Including six of our favorite iconic shades that have been given a fresh, new twist, odds are at least one will make its way into your regular manicure rotation while we’re at home and once we can get back to the salon.

The standouts include “Ballet Sneakers,” which gives the classic pale pink a matte finish…

“Wicked Fierce” delivers the deep, dark red we love with a fun chrome finish.

And if you’re new to the DIY manicure thing, here are a few essentials that make things a lot easier…

Olive & June’s Tool Box: With the Poppy handle that works on any polish top for extra stability, the Clean-Up Brush so you don’t have to stress about being so precise, the amazing Cuticle Serum, a two-sided file, buffer, nail clippers and nail polish remover, this set has you covered.

Blue Cross Cuticle Remover: So you don’t even have to trim your cuticles.

Seche Vite Dry Fast Top Coat: This will trigger fond memories of your manicurist—and don’t forget to reapply every few days since you’re likely doing more housework than usual.

Best of all, giving yourself a mani will keep you occupied for about a half-hour, and keep you from snacking until your nails are dry!
