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!

Mannequin Hands with Sinful Colors Satin
Mannequin Hands is a new series featuring ALU Fanatics showing off their “mannequin hands” shade. The one polish that best gives that elongated, flesh-toned look to their hands.
Today Kelsey S. is showing off her “mannequin hands” using Sinful Colors Satin. Kelsey is a Bare Minerals Medium Beige/MAC NC35 and this is what she has to say about the color,
“This was a hand-me-down polish from a friend who had much darker skin and didn’t like the the way it looked on her. I found that it matched my skin tone pretty much perfectly and I love it! Having so many colors, this is always my go-to polish when I can’t make a decision on what color I feel like using. The formula goes on quite smoothly, and I never really have had any problems with Sinful Colors polish. It also has microscopic silver sparkles in it that you can’t really see unless you have a magnifying glass, that add to the luminosity of the polish.”
Where are Kelsey’s hand twins? Who else is intrigued by her description of silver sparkles adding luminosity? Get me to a Sinful display!
Don’t forget, you have until January 15th to share your Mannequin Hands with the group. CLICK HERE for more details.
Zoya Reverie Collection Swatches & Review
If there’s one thing I’m certain of this Spring, there is no true theme for nail color. We’re seeing brights, nudes, holos, greens and with the launch of Zoya Reverie, metallics.
I have to admit, when I first saw the promo images I was intrigued by the duo-chrome look of Adina, but feeling unsure of the rest. After having some time to play with the collection, I’m pleased to say there is more than one gem in this bunch. Check them out after the jump! |
Message In A Bottle – My New Column In Scratch Magazine
Fanatics, I’m so excited to announce that I am Scratch Magazine’s newest columnist. Scratch, the UK nail professional magazine, asked me to launch a new column as an extension of ALU and I was beyond thrilled.
Each month I’ll be sharing what I’m loving in the world of nail color with a whole new audience and this month I’m all about greens (what a shock!). Check out the full article after the jump! |
Mannequin Hands with OPI Samoan Sand

Today’s mannequin hands are courtesy of Shew from TheFreshFiends.com. Shew is a MAC NC30 and perfectly captured the look with OPI Samoan Sand.
To add a twist, she added a layer of Essie Matte About You top coat.
Did my NC30 Fanatics find their hand twin today? Where are the Samoan Sand fans out there?
