I keep wanting to call this collection Golden Safari. To the point of having to redo all my labels. Might be because I actually went on one fairly recently. The Golden Jungle collection actually included four colors, two of which were covered last week. Bengale was a Neiman Marcus exclusive. However, I’m finding that Dior [...]
Compared to the previous NYX colors I posted, these four are positively colorful! Although I have to chuckle a little about the names. For as wildly creative as some of the newer polish names are, the length of the names get a bit difficult to add to the swatches because they can be so long. [...]
The CND Pink Wishes Duo has been sitting on my desk for a little while. I’ve covered quite a few of the CND duos (I think I’ve actually gotten them all) and there are ones that I love and ones that I hate. Pink Wishes is a split decision. Pink Wishes Color is a pale [...]
Yves Saint Laurant (which will be referred to as YSL from this point on because I’m a lazy typist) has recently come out with a plethora of colors for thier La Laque Couture Line. I was pretty excited about this because their last few offerings (here and here) were a departure from the mainstream colors [...]
I was very much anticipating the release of these new Dior colors. More so than most collections because I had to pre-order them during Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale and then wait for them to arrive. Nothing like a little delay to whet the appitite! Were they worth the wait? Definately. All three of them are deep [...]
I bought a new camera. It’s been sitting in its box for about 4 months now. I hate getting accustomed to new toys when I have such a groove with the old ones. But it was time. I know that once I figure out the new camera, it’ll probably produce better pics. But there’s a [...]
Let’s face it, a collection titled “The Essentials”, whether it be in French or not, is not exactly a collection that will have me riveted to my seat in anticipation. Even before the colors are revealed, I pretty much have low expectations of being wowed. How did I feel when I actually saw the shades? [...]
I was told once by a cosmetics saleswoman that the reason some cosmetic lines don’t offer nail polish in the US but will market in other international markets is that the FDA requirements for importing nail polish is constantly fluctuating thus making companies tweak their formula too often to make it worthwhile. I don’t know [...]
It seems that some companies have realized that nail polish is now the new lipstick. When the economy dips, women look for bargain luxuries. Used to be lipsticks. Now it’s nail polishes (could be due to people like me who stopped wearing lipstick a decade ago in favor of glosses). Great for us gals that [...]
Laura Mercier has recently re-introduced their polishes in the US starting with Twilight, which was very auspicious. The newer colors were very mainstream consisting of pinks, subsequently followed by a lilac and most recently the Cinema Noir collection that contains brown and beige (we’ll get to those in a later post). Usually, my main complaint [...]
