OPI Swiss Collection for Fall 2010 – Part 1 Swatches & Review

opi swiss collection for fall 2010 bottles part 1 Outside of the movie Heidi, which has been remade way too many times, watches, banks and the Swiss Alps, I admittedly know very little about Switzerland. Which is why when I heard that OPI was releasing a collection based on the country I was skeptical as to what it would consist of.

Of course the OPI Swiss preview pics didn’t do these colors justice.  Why the large bottle images continue to look like artist renderings is beyond me.  Clearly they have a decent photographer to take the display shots, they should being shooting the closeups as well.

Anywho, about the colors.  I will admit that I was a wee bit disappointed to find that half of the collection is in the red family but reds are still a big seller in spite of a growing number of Fanatics making the more unique shades mainstream.  At least OPI has been recognizing this and in the Swiss collection we have been appeased with six shades from the blue, green, purple and metallic color families and that’s what I chose to focus on first.

Out Of The Blue – A Multi-Colored Ombre Manicure

gradation-manicure-ombre-effect-blue-multi-colored-nails This weekend I’m headed to Sandusky, Ohio, home of the world’s greatest amusement park, Cedar Point.  And I’m not just saying that because I worked there and it’s in my home state. The park has been awarded that title nine times in a row.  With 17 roller coasters, it’s a thrill seeker’s nirvana.

The reason for my trip, a mini-reunion with some of my friends I used to work with back in the day.  Seriously, if you know any college students looking for a summer job, this is the place.  It’s so much fun.  They recruit from all over the world and provide housing.  It’s like college without all the books and classes.

Anywho, I wanted to do something fun with my nails and ever since I first tried an Ombre Multi-Colored Manicure, I’ve been meaning to do it again.  Only this time, instead of mixing my colors, I chose to use five existing shades to create the effect.

Rescue Beauty Lounge “The Real Housewives Of The Tudor Dynasty” Swatches & Review

rescue-beauty-lounge-fall-2010-collection-bottles THE REAL HOUSEWIVES OF THE TUDOR DYNASTY INSPIRE A BROCADE-HUED NAIL POLISH COLLECTION FROM RESCUE BEAUTY.

The opulent fabrics, quiet luxury and return of ladylike fashions brought to mind the British Royal family to Rescue Beauty Lounge’s Ji Baek. No, not the current resident of Buckingham Palace but the colorful (and often short-lived) wives of Henry the VIII.

Known for her flawless, full-coverage cremes, for Fall 2010 Ji Baek infused opulent multi-dimensional shimmer with rich, heavily pigmented hues. The result, a collection worthy of even the most royal of fingertips.

I’m personally not well schooled on the history of The House of Tudor, outside of my love for the Showtime series.  Though given the popularity of The Tudors and recent series finale, this collection, with its strong fashion driven edge, is very timely.

Cosmoprof 2010 Day 2 Recap

By on July 20, 2010
in CND, Cosmoprof, Orly, SpaRitual, Zoya with 35 Comments
cosmoprof-day-2-2010 Monday was utter craziness at Cosmoprof North America. Christine and I arrived bright and early and hit the ground running.

We met with the teams at CND, OPI, Orly, SpaRitual and Zoya and I think by the end of the day we were both visually overwhelmed.  You can’t really grasp the scope of how large this show is unless you’re here.  Outside of all the major nail, hair and skin care brands that are represented there are a tons of smaller and international brands to check out.

Three of the big trends I’m noticing are keratin treatments, hair tinsel and gel polish.  The amount of brands that have come out with those three products is exploding.  Check out our finds from Day 2 after the jump!
