Mannequin Hands with CND Putty

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 we’re checking out my pal Amber’s Mannequin Hands.  In my best Amber speak… if you’re not involved in Amber’s blog, Beauty Blogging Junkie, I don’t WHAT you’re doing with your time.  Amber doesn’t speak MAC because she’s a NARS girl.  NARS Sheer Glow in Fiji to be exact.  This is what Amber has to say about her polish pick, CND putty,

“I have been looking for MONTHS for my exact flesh tone lacquer and kept overestimating my Cullen levels of pallor. I mentioned that I could NOT for the life of me find a match when my boss (Rachel Hayes at Daily Makeover) plucked this CND bottle off her desk and goes, this one’s your exact match. And she was 100% right. It looks like an extension of my fingertips. I love that elongates my fingers with a little extra glossiness. And CND polishes always last a week for me, if I pair it with my favorite Priti topcoat.”

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!
