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 [...]
I can’t say that I’ve been a big fan of the crackle effect (or shatter, fracture or this effect by any other name). But when I saw the Crocodile effect from Dior, I kinda had to get it. Really, how often does a high end polish indulge in fad finishes? Let’s talk about Golden Light [...]
I had recently covered two of the Estee Lauder Beyond Black colors and liked them enough to go back and buy the remaining two. To say that Estee Lauder has been surprising me with their edgy colors would be an extreme understatement. Both Black Plum and Viper are shimmers, but they are definitely more apparent [...]
When I perusing for new polishes, I only give Shu Uemura a half eye as they are so difficult to get in the US. But when I saw these three, I made a concerted effort to get my hands on them. These don’t have multi-color shimmer, aren’t holographic, don’t have flecks, flakes or flashes. In [...]
I don’t check out the Estee Lauder polishes colors all that much as a) they don’t seem to change all that often and b) it’s usually some version of pink or red. But I was scanning the Nordstrom’s website for any new polishes and something made me check out them out. I was very intrigued [...]
I am convinced that the Metro DC area is a black hole for drugstore polishes. Usually it takes stalking several drugstores to find some of the latest polish exclusives. But one of my forays into a Rite-Aid a few months ago uncovered not only a ton of different polishes, but many on sale. Borghese is [...]
Pop Polishes seem to have come out of the woodwork lately. A year ago, you could only find them a few places, namely at CVS.com and Beauty.com. Now they are at Nordstroms, Urban Outfitters, Amazon, 6pm, Zappos (who knew? This is where I got mine because it has the best selection), and the list goes [...]
I have recently been pulled in by Estee Lauder more than I have been in years. I was originally drawn to her latest offerings because of Metallic Sage. But when I saw the swatch of Porcelain on the Estee Lauder website, I thought it had to be the potential of being a clean and muted [...]
Sparitual is not the brand that first comes to mind when I’m looking for non-mainstream colors. But for the few they do have, they’re quite stunning. As evidenced by the four below. Optical Illusion is a mossy green glitter that sparkles gold. Sparitual doesn’t come out with a ton of glitters but when they do, [...]
