Meet Ginger + Liz Nail Colour
Being the lone nail blogger at NYFW means that everyone either looks at my nails, hides their nails in embarrassment (I’m so NOT judging) or asks me about different polish brands. Well this season was a bit different because when I’d run into my blogging friends backstage the majority asked if I had met Ginger and Liz.
Ginger Johnson and Liz Pickett are the brains behind their eponymous polish line Ginger + Liz which recently had its retail debut at a Henri Bendel trunk show. Before this week I’ve tweeted and emailed with the duo but never actually met them. Well let me just say, these ladies are not only beautiful and charming but they have a fabulous sense of style and color. Meet Ginger and Liz, check out my funky multi-colored manicure and swoon over the appropriately named metallic, Swagger, after the jump! |
OPI Hong Kong Collection Swatches, Review & Comparisons – Part 1
One of the most anticipated collections of the season, OPI Hong Kong takes us to the far east and I don’t want to come back. Following what I consider a pretty boring year for OPI (I just didn’t LOVE Spain & South Beach) they’re already off to a great start with Alice in Wonderland and Hong Kong. I hope the momentum keeps going throughout the year.
Of course I’ve been geeked over the idea of a new OPI green so Jade Is The New Black has been on my mind for months and it did NOT disappoint. I dare say it may take down Rainforest as my all-time fave OPI. That’s a huge statement people! I’ve got the first half of the collection for you today so check out Jade Is The New Black, Suzi Says Feng Shui, Meet Me On The Star Ferry, Bling Dynasty and Pearl of Wisdom after the jump! |
The ALU Archives – Illamasqua Phallic
The ALU Archives focuses on older, beloved shades from the All Lacquered Up stash.Talking about Illamasqua’s new colors yesterday reminded me that I had never showed you one of my fave shades from their core collection, Phallic. First of all, you gotta love the name. Like my blogging pal Mel with her Penis Tuesday series, I love a fun penis reference. I even won a knit, purple, penis-shaped lip balm holder (link NSFW!) from her site. The fact that Phallic is a stunning blue shimmer makes it all the better. Check out the gorgeousness after the jump! |
Rescue Beauty Lounge Spring 2010 Swatches & Review
For Spring ’10 Nail Colors, Rescue Beauty Hangs Ten With Proenza Schouler’s cool surfer girls.
“Let’s go surfing now, Everybody’s learning how, Come on and safari with me!” – The Beach Boys. Being a Midwest girl that never saw the California coast until a few years ago, the Cali surf culture brings up flashes of Gidget, Frankie & Annette flicks, The Beach Boys and Dick Dale’s “Misirlou” which any Pulp Fiction fan would recognize. I’m sure that’s not at ALL what Proenza Schouler had in mind when they created their Spring ’10 collection. They envisioned a much hipper surf girl. One that can ride the big waves with the best of them, then slip on a chic, colorful dress and party all night. It’s the modern surfer girl that inspired Ji Baek’s Spring collection for Rescue Beauty Lounge. |
Need It! – MAC Give Me Liberty “Blue India” Nail Lacquer
Oh for the love of all things polish, I just about DIED when I saw British Beauty Blogger’s MAC Give Me Liberty preview. An adorned bottle… a grayed blue creme… need I say more?? I seriously felt my pulse race. Do I have something in my collection that is similar? Probably. Do I care? HELL NO! This collection is slated to launch in April and it better come to the US. MAC gods, make it so!
***UPDATE – The collection launches March 11th in the US (thanks for the heads up Jennifer)***
Am I alone in my excitement? Who else is with me? Or am I just letting my inner MAC-addict get the best of me? You know I’m a sucker for special packaging. After all I have my Barbie, Fafi, Heatherette and Hello Kitty collection products still in their boxes. It’s a sickness and I’m not looking for a cure!
