Sephora by OPI Looks Like Rain, Dear & Midnight Mambo
This past weekend the boyfriend and I went to Pittsburgh to visit with friends. I also went to see Chelsea Handler’s Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang Tour Saturday night.
I am a religious Chelsea Lately watcher and I adore her on the show but her stand up was a REAL disappointment. As Chelsea would say, “It’s not great!” Her behavior was so manic you would think she was having an episode on stage. Like to the point that I was worried about her. And her act was so old that I remembered some parts from her 2007 Comedy Central Presents show. Time for some new material Chelsea. Anywho, I wanted a blingy manicure for the weekend and two of the Sephora by OPI polishes I purchased during the Friends & Family sale called out to me. A reader suggested that I try Looks Like Rain, Dear but Midnight Mambo looked really pretty as well so I decided to combine them into a multi-colored mani. |
Chanel Riva from the Côte D’Azur Collection – Swatch, Review & Comparison
Ever since its debut on the Chanel Cruise 2010-11 collection runway, the beauty interwebs have been buzzing about Chanel Riva. Even before we knew its name this baby blue nail polish has left us guessing.
Would this be another sellout hit like its pale polish predecessors, Jade and Nouvelle Vague? Will it include that stunning Chanel subtle shimmer? More importantly, will it have that “it” factor that makes certain Chanel polishes highly coveted and quickly copied (ie Khakis, Paradoxal, Jade)? Read on to find out! |
China Glaze Holiday 2010 – Blue & Greens Swatches, Review & Comparisons
China Glaze has definitely been Naughty AND Nice this year. Nice for releasing so many cute holiday gift sets and a fun range of colors but Naughty for overwhelming us with so many options.
Unlike the past few years where they’ve released just a few holiday shades, for Holiday 2010 the ‘Tis The Season to be naugty and nice collection consists of 16 nail polishes. That’s right, SIXTEEN! To make it easier to take in, I’ve broken down the collection into its three main color families; Blue & Green, White, Silver & Gold and Red & Vampy. We’ll start with my obvious favorite the lone blue (Little Drummer Boy), three greens (Jolly Holly, Mistletoe Kisses, Peace On Earth) and the multi-colored glitter bomb (Party Hearty). |
NARS Vintage Nail Polish Collection 2010 Swatches, Review & Comparisons
Last year when NARS released its Vintage Nail Polish Collection you could probably hear my heart breaking for nail fanatics around the world. Where was Zulu? What about Mash and Midnight Express? Was I the only one with a fondness for Ziggy and Platoon?
Well I’m happy to see that in the NARS Vintage Nail Polish Collection 2010 they brought back three beloved shades and two I was previously unfamiliar with, King Kong and Full Metal Jacket. The question is, how do the re-releases stack up against their former incarnations? |
Get The Nail Look – Lea Michele at the 62nd Annual Emmy Awards
Birthday girl Lea Michele ruled the Emmy red carpet in a stunning navy Oscar De La Renta gown. The Glee star, who IMO should have won for Best Actress, glowed from head to toe. She is my pick for best dressed of the night and in some shots I’ve seen, she strongly resembled Penelope Cruz. After all they do both love Mr. De La Renta’s frocks.
Lea’s glam squad was comprised of Makeup Artist Melanie Inglessis for NARS, Hair Stylist Mark Townsend for Dove and Manicurist Deborah Lippmann. Melanie Inglessis used NARS new Pure Matte Lipstick in Tashkent and while I was leery about the whole matte lip trend taking us back to 90s, it looks beautiful on Lea. Pairing dramatic winged eye liner with nude lips and full, tousled hair, Lea’s nails were painted a deep, dark hue to match her dress. Can you guess what polish Deborah used? |
