Sisters Nia and Justice of Révolutionnaire — the brand and platform to know re: fighting for diversity, inclusivity and social justice — have partnered with Essie on a limited-edition release of nail shades. The six bottles, each a different neutral, celebrate Révolutionnaire’s mission and origin, which was born from Nia’s experience as a young Black ballerina spending hours dyeing her dancewear to match her skin tone. These little Essie Expressie’s tell that story, along with countless others. The collection of nail polishes is available now on revolutionnaire.co and at Shoppers Drug Mart.
