The sun is out, the temps are rising and you’re wanting a bright, fun pedicure to show off your new sandals. Just me? Well, Essie might have just made your day. The cult-fave Essie Clambake and Waltz nail polish colors are back—but not for long. In 2017, Into The Gloss called Clambake the color of the year and you could see the orange-red hue on everyone. And then it just vanished and folks have been trying to find a dupe since.
According to Essie, Clambake is the most requested shade on social media. Years ago, you could find marked-up bottles on eBay. It’s a classic red with a twist that looks good on everyone so it’s no wonder people mourned its demise. On the other end of the spectrum, Waltz, a perfect creamy sheer white, is a top seller at salons and was retired from stores in 2013. Now, they’re both back but just at CVS until May 29.
