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. |
Nicole by OPI Previews the Justin Bieber Collection
Okay so I totally scoffed at the fact that Nicole by OPI is collaborating with Justin Bieber. It’s a great marketing strategy and the fact that it supports a charity makes it a bit more tolerable but I am FAR from a tween so it just feels odd to be writing about. That being said, I must admit that after watching the preview video posted on the Nicole by OPI YouTube account, I am kind of curious about Me + Blue and One Less Lonely Glitter.
I get that if the color is good, the person attached to it shouldn’t matter but I’m so not the target demo. I feel like one of those middle aged women who swoon over Edward from Twilight, blech!
After seeing the colors modeled on a nail, what are your thoughts on the collection?
Chanel Riva Nail Polish Available Now
If you’ve ordered from Chanel.com in the past you undoubtedly received the same email I did regarding the launch of the Chanel Côte d’Azur collection. In case you didn’t, here are the deets!
Debuting at the CHANEL Cruise Collection 2010 – 2011 fashion show in Saint Tropez on May 11th, Peter Philips, Global Creative Director of CHANEL Makeup, was inspired by the location to create a playful collection that flirts with the sun. “Effortless, natural beauty, relaxed girls who are enjoying their holidays. That was the main idea behind the look for this show. And we added a touch of playfulness by applying a pastel baby blue nail polish”, says Peter Philips.
In CHANEL COLLECTION CÔTE D’AZUR, lips are adorned with Rouge Coco Hydrating Crème Lip Colour in four soft, summery shades: Perlé, Chintz, Taffeta Rose and Sari Doré. The playful spirit is accentuated down to the fingertips with the pastel blue lacquer, Le Vernis Nail Colour in Riva.
Rouge Coco Hydrating Crème Lip Colour: $30.00
Le Vernis Nail Colour in Riva: $27.00
Available for limited time exclusively at CHANEL.com, CHANEL Makeup Studios and CHANEL boutiques.
I haven’t seen the color yet but I’ll be sure to post a review as soon as it arrives. How many of you intend to order Riva? A pale blue in the winter reminds me of the China Glaze Bahama Blues collection. It was such a breath of fresh air in contrast to the drab winter weather. I hope Riva will have the same feel though the $27 price tag is a bit much.
Fun Vintage Nail Polish Find
Friday night I went out with a couple friends to a local event called the Tremont ArtWalk. Once a month local businesses host art showings from 6-10pm and it’s a great way to support emerging artists along with the unique neighborhood shops.
One of our stops was at a vintage shop where I couldn’t help but peruse the 60s fashion magazines, compacts, atomizers and yes, nail polish. I found, in a random bin, this bottle of “Extra Frosted” nail polish from Clairol and I just had to share.
I didn’t even know Clairol made polish back in the day. Though just seeing the word “frosted” made me cringe. No wonder it always makes me think “grandma polish” because it’s what our grandmothers wore.
I know we’ve talked about old nail polishes in the past but do any of you have a vintage bottle like this? Not necessarily something you would wear but just hang on to as part of your collection?
Rescue Beauty Lounge Sale Haul & Some News
As you know, the Rescue Beauty Lounge 50% Off Sale took place a couple weeks ago and I just happened to be in NYC at the time. Of course I was on a boat when the sale started and my cell phone was failing me big time. Thank goodness for my pal Carla from Product Girl who was able to place my order for me. Talk about a lifesaver! Anyway, my order arrived on Wednesday and since I was in the midst of organizing my charity beauty sale, I haven’t had a chance to play with them until now.
