My Go To, Last Minute Holiday Manicure – OPI Here Today… Aragon Tomorrow Suede
After a long and lovely Thanksgiving break, I’m back to blogging. I took a bit of a break to give my nails a rest from swatching and to focus on enjoying the holiday with my family and friends.
The boyfriend and I hosted dinner again this year and all I can say is I am very thankful to have found a man who can cook, and cook well. I’m a disaster in the kitchen and he is a Turkey Day champ! We packed our schedule pretty full including Cleveland’s Winterfest Wine & Ale Fest downtown Saturday night. Naturally I was running late so I relied on my usual last minute manicure trick, matte nail polish. It’s a quick drying lifesaver. Given the holiday theme of the event I opted for a green, OPI Here Today… Aragon Tomorrow, and it’s the perfect shade for the season. |
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 – Gold, Silver & White Swatches, Review & Comparisons
Celebrate the Holiday Season with Sugar, Spice and Everything In Between
If you missed the first part of my China Glaze ‘Tis The Season To Be Naughty Or Nice review make sure you check it out to see the blue and greens from this collection. Today we’re talking about the Golds, Silver and Whites from the sixteen piece collection. You may remember that my all time favorite white nail polish on the planet is China Glaze White-Kwik-Silvr. It’s white polish perfection. So when I spotted a sparkly white coming out for holiday I hoped I would find a WKS twin. Read on to see if Frosty lived up to my dream and to check out Cheers To You, Jingle Bells, Midnight Kiss and Snow. |
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). |
Orly ‘Tis The Season Holiday 2010 Gift Set
One of the things I always look forward to when the holiday collections come out are the gift sets. Whether it is sets of minis or a selection of colors paired with a fun gift item, I always get suckered in.
If a set includes a bag, a cute stuffed animal, a holiday themed tool, etc. you can pretty much bet I’m all over it. The Orly ‘Tis The Season gift set is no exception. Of the six polishes in the ‘Tis The Season collection, Orly paired the traditional red creme, luscious green sparkler and white, icing-esque sheer with a metallic red clutch. |
