Urban Decay XX Vintage Eyeshadows & Nail Colors for Holiday 2016
Urban Decay XX Vintage Eyeshadows & Nail Colors for Holiday 2016
Eyeshadow was the third product we ever launched. Lip and nail shades came first, and Eyeshadow hit the line a year later—but it’s never taken a back seat. Eyeshadow was (and always has been) Wende’s passion project. After 20 years, we’re getting a little nostalgic for the early days. That’s why we created UD XX Vintage Eyeshadow—a throwback to our first Eyeshadow collection from 1997, which consisted of 19 shades that were WAY ahead of their time. While six of those original shades are still in our collection today, others have disappeared over the years. Now they’re back in one ultra-exclusive collection! Get the cult-favorite colors you know and love in our bestselling, intensely pigmented formula.
Still mourning the loss of our long-ago-discontinued nail shades like Plague, Pallor and Bruise? You’re in luck. We’ve brought you UD XX Vintage Nail Color. To mark our twentieth anniversary, we’re resurrecting ALL 12 of our original shades in this exclusive collection. We get TONS of requests from our fans to bring back our original nail shades, so these are bound to sell out in a hot minute. Our UD XX Vintage Nail Color collection is also ultra limited-edition—so once these shades are gone, they’re gone for good! (Don’t say we didn’t warn you.)

Urban Decay XX Vintage Eyeshadows & Nail Colors for Holiday 2016
Oh – loving the eyeshadows. I bet a lot of people are going to be excited that Gash is back! Very timely with the red shadow trend happening right now. The nail polishes are pretty, but I have one UD bottle and the formula is just the worrrrrst. 🙁
I agree Julia! To bad the nail polish formula doesn’t match the gorgeous bottle. 🙁
I really want to get Roach it was a HG shade as both shadow and powder liner when I had money for makeup. *_*
Roadstripe, Rust and UB-V are calling as well.
Hope they do this for lips, too, although I can’t imagine it, with the huge Vice redo. I lost my rust l/s, that had green microshimmer in a light orange base. In the late 90s, pretty avant garde, but still subtle. Miss it. Prob still have the majority of the e/s reissues in Zs. Had snow and roach as a liquid liners, pretty fun. UD seems much more mainstream now than then.
They are coming out with a vintage lip capsule. 9 shades in total I think? 🙂
Chains AND Shattered??? Oh, be still my heart (and so much for my eyeshadow “no buy” – I seem to have lasted almost 2 weeks!)
I just want Honey!!!! Why won’t they give me Honey!! 😛
Ugh I miss that =(
Good thing I already have most of the vintage eyeshadows that I like in my Vice XX palette, cuz I am gonna NEED ALL THE POLISH! I don’t think the last holiday release was all that great but this year, holy crap! And these weren’t even in that photo they teased on social media. Lord have mercy on my wallet!
I wasn’t into UD back then, so these are new to me, although I’ve heard people talk nostagically about them. Some of the vintage shadows are in Vice Reloaded XX , although people are saying the ones in the set aren’t as good as the originals. I’m hoping the single of Gash is as good as original. And some of those purple nail polishes are calling my name
I remember reading about Urban Decay’s nail polish as a teenager in the 90s and thinking it sounded so cool. I’ll have to pick up Mildew for sure, and probably the Chains and Acid Rain eye shadows.
Wow this is exciting!
It also draws attention to the grittier names they used to use. Nowadays the names are more glam rock than counterculture.
I saw where they’re also releasing vintage lipsticks. I can’t wait to see those!!
Are they?… You are $#!++!^€ me! So many have been lost or turned, though I think I’m a little old to wear shattered now. Rust, with the green patina, please. I also had a road stripe l/s, abc gum l/s and a few others that don’t spring to mind. Old UD was the place to go for unusual; now it’s the indies. I can justify the l/s more than I can the e/s. Bring them on!
They posted a picture on their Instagram account yesterday about the lipsticks. I didn’t own any of the originals so I can’t tell which ones they’re releasing but I’m super excited about them. I love the vice formula so I’m sure the vintage ones will be amazing.
As much as I love this, I’d love it even more if they made Gash permanent! I don’t know how I’m going to survive once I run out of it in my Vice Ltd XX Reloaded palette!
I wasn’t much into makeup (apart from lipstick) in the mid to late 90s, but I loved nail polish in funky colors and only had money for the cheap stuff at the time. I clearly remember wanting Mildew nail polish at some point but settling for an acceptable drugstore dupe.
I usually avoid LEs but have been interested in Gash for a long time, just not enough to buy the palettes it’s been in. So I need to get to the store, try it out in person before it gets gone.
How is shattered already out of stock?!? :,-(
This are very nice, guess there’s no Vice Palette this year??
Can’t wait for swatches!
I have eyeballed 3 eyeshadows I’m dying to get: Gash, Snow and Shattered. Hopefully, they’re still available come 9/1!
Not sure how their nail polish formula is. Didn’t get a chance to buy any back then as the ex held the purse strings. Tight. Very tight. I may have to give one or two a shot!
I just ordered Gash! I have it already in Vice Reloaded XX, which I like, but it’s suppose to be different from the original Gash. I never had the original, which everyone keeps raving about, so I’m hoping the single is the same as the original, or at least closer.
I’ve got a couple of the polishes in the current style bottle. I like them, but they’re both darker colors that aren’t prone to streaking or being too translucent, so I can’t speak for different types of colors. But they were right in line with any other decent nail polish.
I hate their polish – but I only have one so maybe it’s a bad one? It dries a little bit gummy and not very shiny, and the brush is super skinny, making application harder. I would definitely recommend starting with just one if you’re really into the colors, just to make sure the formula is improved!
I just wish there were swatches of these released ahead of time because they’ll probably sell out before any are posted. The nail polish in Asphyxia is already sold out. 🙁
No way! I have been trying (fairly unsuccessfully) to replace Chains for years. This is such great news 😀
I hope Gash is still around on payday. I’d love to have the single version. I love how their polishes look, but the brushes are annoying.
Oh man! I think I still have my original Acid Rain and Gash…they’re probably due for replacement.
I loved those nail polishes in the 90’s, I will definitely be buying!!
Oh, yay!! I hope they don’t sell out immediately the second they are available, but they probably will. . .
OMG, I had Pallor nail polish in high school! I wish they had it in the vintage packaging though. It’s like the bottle that Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Hardener comes in, but the top was black.
FINALLY they listened! Been waiting for this one. I also hope they do lips.
In order to round out this collection, I’m trying to remember which current 6 are the original ones! It’s been forever, I’m thinking ABC gum may be one of them.
Those eye shadows are beautiful and I am loving Spare Change – a gorgeous grey shade.
The nail lacquers look great, but I’m really not on board with the release of Holiday collections in August. Is it gonna be July next year? Can we enjoy the end of the SUMMER? And then when most people actually start their Holiday shopping, all these collections will be sold out. I’m annoyed. Can you tell? Lol!
I think I have some of these shadows but I wasn’t buying UD when they launched so it must be the reloaded palette or maybe liners. I don’t do nail polish, no nails.
Just looking at the “Availability” now….does this mean they won’t be at Sephora and “in store”. Well, that might make it easier to stick to my “no buy”!
They are exclusive to UD’s websites and freestanding stores, per last I checked!
No mention of a UK/Europe release?
Sorry, as a U.S. blogger, I get U.S. information when brands send it to me!
These are not available on the Canadian website. I’ve tried contacting Urban Decay for the last couple of days and they won’t answer me. 🙁
These are NOT available on Urban Decay Canada, and there’s no word on whether or not they will be released up here.
Actually they ARE available. If you don’t know where to look to find the polishes, check under “exclusives”.
I hope vapour is a true silver! I’ve wanted a silver eyeshadow from UD for so long! Every time they get a new one that looks like silver online, it is dark grey on me once I get to swatch it!
Also the second nail polish looks awesome, but I got Gash earlier this year and it chips faster and more than any cheap drugstore polish ever has.
None of the vintage collections seem to be available on the UD Canada website.
