Get The Look – Lady Gaga’s Greige Nails in September’s Vanity Fair
Just when you thought gray nail polish was over, Lady Gaga makes it hot again on the cover of September’s Vanity Fair. For the past few days I’ve been getting emails and tweets from readers and fellow bloggers all wondering what that mystery gray polish is on Gaga’s nails.
Never fear, your trusty nail sleuth is here. I love a challenge and I’m such a pop culture fiend that researching this sort of thing is fun for me. Though what’s funny is I actually had a gut reaction when I saw this cover and, as it turns out, the first email I sent turned out to be the right one. So what famous manicurist to the stars polished Lady Gaga’s nails to perfection? And what color did she use? Make a guess before you click to find out. |
Rescue Beauty Lounge Fall 2010 Comparisons
The Rescue Beauty Lounge Fall 2010 Collection pre-order is just hours away, are your trigger fingers ready? Remember you must be on the RBL email list to receive the link to the pre-order that starts at 1pm EST and ends tomorrow. Otherwise you will have to wait until the collection goes on sale sometime in September and hope there is enough stock.
The pre-order is just that, a pre-order. It’s your chance to reserve the colors you want from the Fall collection when the September shipment comes in. RBL limited edition shades sell out fast so if there’s a color you know you want, you better jump on it now. I want to thank you all for participating in my new method of doing comparisons. Your suggestions shaped this post and reminded me of some colors I never would have thought of. I hope this is useful in your purchase decisions not only to discover the existence of dupes but to get a better understanding of how the colors look by showing them next to shades in the same color family. |
Best Holo Ever – Nfu Oh 61 Can Take On Minx Hologram Nails
You guys, I’ve reached holographic nail nirvana thanks to Nfu Oh!
As you may remember I received my first Nfu Oh haul a few weeks back and I’ve been dying to wear the holo, #61, but had to wait until the Aqua Base came back in stock. Well my second order arrived on Thursday so naturally my weekend manicure choice was Nuf Oh 61! I wasn’t sure what to expect based on the polish’s bland appearance in the bottle but on the nail, this baby can give Hologram Minx a run for its money. Ever since Beyonce rocked golden holographic Minx at the Grammy Awards fanatics have been trying to replicate the look. Well, consider #61 the silver version of those nails at a fraction of the cost. |
Essie Summer 2010 Swatches & Review
What’s that? It’s still summer. You’d never know that based on the number of fall collections that we’re being inundated with. Is it just me or do the fall colors seem to be coming out earlier? Maybe it’s because I’m really enjoying my summer and while I’m all about some of the Fall collections, I’m not ready for it to start just yet. The longer I can keep the Cleveland winter at bay, the better.
It seems like forever and a day since I previewed the Essie Summer 2010 collection. Oh that’s right, it has been forever and a day. Based on the pastels and florals spotted on the Spring/Summer runways, Essie has mixed soft hues with punchy brights. |
OPI Swiss Collection for Fall 2010 – Part 2 Swatches & Review
So today I have the second half of the OPI Swiss collection for you. Like the backdrop for the white cross on the Swiss flag we’re in all red territory.
I’m sure it’s no surprise to you to hear that the idea of doing an all red post doesn’t exactly jazz me. It’s just never been my color. I have a few staple reds that I turn to again and again but overall it’s just not my bag. However, because I know there are people as fanatical about reds as I am about greens I wanted to share them with you. And because the formula of all six of these polishes is so stellar, I actually liked a couple of them enough to add them to my stash. Curious about which ones I gave high marks? Read on to find out! |
