It's awesome that you have a tin from this brand from the late 1920s to sell. I'm sure that there's an eager market of vintage beauty fans looking to purchase such. <br /><br />I'd highly suggest listing your item on eBay, Craig's list, Kijiji, or another local classified site in your area. If you use such, Etsy or Ruby Lane would both be viable options as well, though those do require one to set up a shop, so in that respect, eBay usually makes more sense for single items that one is looking to sell. Relevant Facebook groups that permit selling could be a good option as well. <br /><br />Best of luck to you & many happy summertime wishes coming your way,<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-60413938655426357292016-07-16T14:17:37.515-07:002016-07-16T14:17:37.515-07:00I have a 1929 "Cutex Five Minute Set" ti...I have a 1929 "Cutex Five Minute Set" tin box .

I wish that some (all would likely be too much to ask for) of the classic mid-century polish shades would be re-released. Revlon has done as much with lipstick before, but I've not heard of any of the polish brands that were around in the 40s-60s doing the same with their timeless colours. Hopefully one day! Then you can sport Pink Pearl again and I can give it a spin for the first time. <br /><br />Thank you very much for your wonderfully nice comment,<br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-5699490491374887412014-07-08T10:36:21.664-07:002014-07-08T10:36:21.664-07:00How those Cutex ads bring it all back.

Once I turned 13 in 1960 it was off to Woolworth's with my pal Phyllis Rosenberg, who talked me into buying Cutex Pink Pearl - my very first polish. Afterwards came Fashion Orchid, Ginger Rose, White Pearl and a very pretty pale orange pearl. They were lovely colours for young girls and good for softening up parents. Happy days and thank you for the great posts.

I really do believe the pictures themselves speak volumes in vintage ads and that most can easily be understood no matter what language they're written in. A great ad - like a great beauty product - is timeless and a work of art unto itself.<br /><br />I love your suggestion for a future topic for this series. I'll be adding that to my list of blogging ideas for sure. Thank you, dear gal!<br /><br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-25790261235489444162013-05-14T08:03:28.332-07:002013-05-14T08:03:28.332-07:00Wow!

My mom gave it to me as a reward for stopping biting my nails when I was ten. It was fabulous and I felt very elegant. I also love vintage ads and when I scan my vintage, unfortunately in Danish, magazines there's always lots of them. They are so charming and often look like pure art. Look forward, I will soon scan a new bunch. Your next post in this series could be about Revlon lipstick. Thank you for putting together this lovely post which I truly enjoyed. :)SANNEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12973437247117000140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-17805193287752420002013-05-13T14:35:12.796-07:002013-05-13T14:35:12.796-07:00I love all the vintage ads!I love all the vintage ads!Verahttp://www.brentwoodlane.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-83137011317004987982013-05-12T07:14:46.849-07:002013-05-12T07:14:46.849-07:00I've really been into nail polish lately.

I can clearly recall my mom painting her nails (usually in one shade or another of pink or fuschia) when I was a little girl, too (though not in the car - though I've done that, as a passenger of course, a time or two before myself over the years). <br /><br />I agree, it would be really cool to compare that vintage kiss-proof lipstick with some of those market today who make the same claim. <br /><br />Big hugs & super happy weekend wishes,<br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-7985587258828365242013-05-11T01:26:51.405-07:002013-05-11T01:26:51.405-07:00Hi Jessica!

I am having a busy month for several reasons and have just caught up in one wonderful swoop! I just want to tell you I am enjoying your blog as much as ever. My highlights were the green shoes featured in your vintage fashionista post, the beautiful blue birthday dress (can't wait to see a photo of you in it!) and those gorgeous kitties. Also, the eshakti dress looks great. I thInk your love of green is well justified, it certainly suits you! Thank you for a fabulous start to the weekend.

I do have very early memories of my mum painting her nails in the car on the way to church, fuming up the car with the scent of the polish, and the bottle looked a lot like some of these later ones... not that I think she saved one from 1952 but it was similar.
