“So my tale is a never-ending saga of sadness: Back when I was in high school, I was obsessed with <i>Buffy the Vampire Slayer</i> and <b>Sarah Michelle Gellar</b> (who wasn’t?), and I read in <i>InStyle</i> that homegirl’s favorite nail polish was <b>Hard Candy ‘Peachy</b>.’ Obviously I immediately ran out and bought myself a bottle, and felt supremely sophisticated and at one with my idol every time I wore it—which was pretty much every week. Things took a dark turn when they discontinued the shade, but I wasn’t about to take this affront lying down: I wrote the company a letter, tweeted at the brand once Twitter became a thing, and ambushed an unsuspecting PR woman at a Hard Candy beauty event, imploring them to please, please bring back my beloved lacquer. It’s all fallen on deaf ears—Hard Candy recently re-released five of the original shades to celebrate its 20th anniversary but rudely left out Peachy.” <i>(Cristina Velocci, managing editor)</i>
