Deborah Lipmann, nail genius

As much as I hate to think about impending fall (back to school= back to work), Deborah Lipmann has given us a Fall Collection that is, simply put, AWESOME!

• Billionaire: moody hunter green (creme)
• Brick House: shimmering rust (shimmer)
• Single Ladies: flirtatious red (creme)

She has also teamed up with designer Narciso Rodriguez for Stormy Weather. I think Lena Horne would have totally rocked it.

Get your digits ready for a new season

Loving the new spring/summer colors from Deborah Lippmann!

From Left to right: Girls Just Want To Have Fun, I Know What Boys Like, Yellow Brick Road, Lara’s Theme

• Girls Just Want To Have Fun– A smooth, vintage coral that everyone can wear because it’s bold yet velvety – a sort of carefree, creamy coral.
• I Know What Boys Like– A creamy periwinkle that credits to both the 80’s and my clients. Several of my clients have asked for interesting blues. This one is a blend of blue and purple with a creamy finish, which gives it a slightly retro look that is so playful and hip.
• Yellow Brick Road, a sheer mellow yellow with a jelly finish. The proof that it wears beautifully on all skin tones: it complements me and Lady GaGa, who wore it first for her “Born This Way” performance at the 2011 Grammy Awards
• Lara’s Theme was created with supermodel Lara Stone is Deborah Lippmann’s newest celebrity collaboration. It’s a dare to wear shade of hot-hot orange

JESSICA Nail Colour in Coquette

Although I'm not the coquette-type, this polish color is my new obsession.

I am all about gray, except in my hair.

Can't wait to put it on, although am enjoying just looking at the picture...

JESSICA always makes a fabulous product!

Sula Paint and Peel Nail Color

THURSDAY, JANUARY 13, 2011

The Dove color is fabulous and very of the moment. I was geeked to open it and find out it didn't smell horrible either. I did 3 coats and then the top coat. I waited for about 7 minutes to do much of anything with my hands. Alas I reached for something and a few of my nails smudged and peeled instantly. The packaging said the color should last about 2 days. I'm disappointed but will admit that peeling the polish off was sort of wonderful.

Jessica Cosmetics, Custom Nail Polish

This nail polish junkie was recently given the opportunity to indulge in sampling several bottles of natural, custom nail color by the infamous Jessica Cosmetics. Jessica's philosophy is based on the realization that just like our skin, hair, and at times perhaps; our sometimes slightly irrational emotions, nails have individual special needs. Jessica Cosmetics identifies nails by type and has created precise products to treat and correct each type.
In addition to this nail product's super, sweet, science technology, their color paints on thick and smoothly, only requiring a coat or two, and dries in a reasonable time frame-good if like me, you often find yourself touching up your self manicure in the car, on your way to dinner.

After a summer of neon or ocean blue nails, I personally got really excited about a few of Jessica's softer tones. This fall is all about "greige", or gray-beige, and I found it's shade family members "Intrigue", "Victorian Crush", and "Bittersweet" just as toasty and comforting.

Reason 10million-32 why I love Sephora

Sephora by Opi presents Just a Little Bit Dangerous, part of the new Rocker Chic Collection.

It's like a violet gone metal.

Beautiful.

I am eagerly & impatiently anticipating my Sephora getting it!

Sally Hansen Nail Color Pen

From brownsquared:

I am a girl who will never be caught with naked nails. So on the day that I was introduced to Sally Hansen's Nail Color Pens, I knew my life would never be the same. It is very rare to find a life-changing product, and for me, Sally has done it. I paint my nails regularly and am a busy, busy lady, so the ease of these pens and the super-quick dry time of this color has made my life easier and prettier. Nail Color Pens come in every cool Sally Hansen color and are a a convenient, easy, and fast way to keep nails looking amazing on the go!

One tip: treat this nail color just like any polish bottle, as the pump-and-paint action can sometimes spray a rouge splash or two. So, keep your nail polish remover and cotton balls handy!

Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure

No time to get a mani/pedi? No worries! Sally Hansen has created a line of nail polish that combines all 5 steps of a manicure in one simple bottle. This great little bottle contains a base coat, strengthener, growth treatment, color, & top coat. I love the brush; it makes application easy. The other bonus is that it dries fairly quickly and doesn't chip easily. There are 42 fun colors to choose from. I tried (and loved): Yellow Kitty, Haute Chocolate, & Wine Not. Yellow Kitty is fun, bright and different from any other color I have ever tried. Not used to it quite yet, but I have gotten several compliments. Haute Chocolate is a rich brown color great for special occasions or every day wear. Finally, Wine Not is a fun and flirty deep color perfect for summer. How could it get any better?!

Sula Paint and Peel Nail Polish

It's true, you can peel this right off when you are bored!!!

Totally my new favorite hobby;)

Novelty aside, Sula has made a low-to-no odor polish.

Goes on easily, nice coverage with one coat.

Color deepens with subsequent coats, but stays true.

No freakish over-shine!

I tried Tango (from the Bright Collection) and Teal (from the Rich Trio).

Teal is a great spring/summer color. Nicely blue.

Tango is a strong red-orange, sort of a deep coral.

I'm a little obsessed.

Tip: Don't paint before you take a hot shower & wash your hair. Not that anyone is silly enough to do that, but sometimes the mornings are not great for rational decisions...
