Wear the same polish as your mom? Today’s vintage Mother’s Day photo tribute comes from a lady who’s done just that: nail polish titan, Essie Weingarten! Read on to discover how sharing beauty rituals inspired her brand…

“As a little girl my ultimate treat was when my mother allowed me to accompany her to the beauty parlor. She would get her hair and nails done and I would be treated to a manicure. It represented such a special time for me, first and foremost because of the quality time I shared with her, and secondly as it was such a special treat!

In the end I really owe her my career; the manicures made me realize the limit in colors which became a real concern, I wanted shades that lived on my nails, had a personality and made me feel like a princess for a day! As my obsession with nails grew so did my quest for the perfect shades. My mother Blanche has been by my side throughout my career and was and remains an endless source of inspiration.” – Essie Weingarten, president and founder, Essie Cosmetics
