Ah, nail polish...
Wanna see what's new? There's always something! Take a look:
- The Polish Addict shares her views and swatches of the new China Glaze Romantique collection. For those not familiar with the line, China Glaze usually divides its larger collections into sets by "cool" and "warm" colors. That's how TPA has divided her posts, so make sure you visit both write-ups, cool and warm, and you won't miss a thing! My faves are below, but tell us what you think! Left- Harmony, right - Magical.
- Blogdorf Goodman (a great blog, if you haven't visited before!) tells us all about Zoya's Twist collection, new for Spring '09. I need to see a therapist about my conflicts with Zoya... I worked at a spa where this was the color used and it's left me addled. The names are almost always cute, and the rainbow of colors they have is stunning, but the products don't work well with my beloved Seche Vite. If you use a 3-free base and top coat, it's better, but I just can't get over not using my Seche. At any rate, here are my picks from the collection, but please go visit Blogdorf Goodman for a view of the whole set and get their impressions. Below left - Malia; right - Harley.
- I think I'm going to break-up with Scrangie, because she costs me so much money. Here's her preview of Color Club's Spring collections, Catwalk Queen and Femme Fatale. OK, you have to buy some just because of the collection names, right? Oh... maybe just me again. These seem to be the anti-Spring Spring collections, because they're not candy-colored pinks and pastel peaches. These collections is stunning, and you'd better bet I'm ordering some ASAP. It's hard to pick a few to show you here, but I'll try to narrow it down. Scrangie has two posts, so don't miss either one: Catwalk Queen and Femme Fatale. Pictured below, left - Catwalk Queen, right - Worth the Risque and bottom center - Fashion Addict.
- Essie's True Love Valentine's Day Collection is out now. These colors are hand-picked (like pink and red roses) from the everyday Essie collection - just for you! Rock your lovey's world with just the right shade of sweetness ... or sultry sexitude.
Below, left to right, top row: After Sex, Bordeaux; middle - Decadent Diva, bottom row - Fishnet Stockings, Limo Scene, and Vanity Fairest.
I think this is a nice range for this holiday. I notice most women at the nail salon can't help put pick a pink or red for Valentine's Day, and these are some primo choices, don't you think!? Let us know what your experiences are with any of these colors, will ya?
- Sephora by OPI has busted out some new shades, and they're electric! I've been waiting to see what their next LE colors look like, since the ones that debuted in Fall were so hot - and sold out like lightning. So... take a look, and you may want to go grab them as soon as possible before they're sold out, too: Now THAT'S what I'm talkin' about for Spring! What say you!? May need to snap-up each of them, but especially I'm Wired, Hi Def (such an orange whore, aren't I?) and IM Beauty (for a great pedi!), and Lost Without My GPS, and Techno Girl and Access 24/7... ummm... I just named them all. Well, they are amazing...
- Essie's Spring collection is already out, and Perfectly Polished Tips has swatched it for us. Here's the line-up, followed by a sneak-peek of one of the colors, but you'll have to visit PPT for more info. Run and get it, blue lovers. Essie Mesmerize:
- Really, Scrangie. Do you hate me? What's with this lemming-a-minute thing you're doing to me!? Take a look at SuperStar Nail Lacquer, and know what I'm chasing now. These bright and cheeries are going to fit in nicely this Spring, and I can't wait! Hell, if it's not going to snow in Richmond, VA then I may as well pray for Spring, right?
Here are some swatches, but go visit Scrangie for more info and to get your own lemming foisted upon you, too! Left- Orangeu An A-Lister, right - Park Avenue Purple.
