I recently acquired this vintage Smartee polish in Brazen Black and it got me thinking/wondering about the history of black polishes. If anyone would like to share what they know about the history of black polishes, I’d love to hear it! Since it’s a very “out there” color in a sea of pinks and reds, I’m especially curious about the first commercially available black polish? Please comment any thoughts or info you may have on the subject! Thx!

I bought this vintage Odette Barsa nightgown and robe set and I’m trying to fix the bows. When I bought it they were both flat, but I think I got the dress’ bow back to its correct shape. The robe is a different story. It looks like the previous owner installed metal snaps to keep the robe closed and maybe removed the bow and re attached it to do this. They even sewed one of the clasps onto the petals just as they fell. I don’t want to remove anything unnecessarily but I can’t figure out how to tie the bow in its current state. I’ve tried looking for this nightgown set online for photo references but haven’t been able to find one. I’m looking for any advice or suggestions on what to do here! Thank you!
