Tweet See Beauties, they do understand. Well L’Oreal understands and if this doesn’t speak volumes then I don’t know what does. For years we’ve debated (well it really wasn’t much of a debate) over what the color nude really is and means to us brown girls. Nude doesn’t always mean a pale beige wash of color, especially when you’re a rich hue of smooth chocolate. L’Oreal quietly pushed out their Read More ...
Tweet At Prabal Gurung this season, sharp tailoring and restrained silhouettes are complemented by graphic prints and a bold color palette. With Gurung’s signature attention to form, structure and detail, each piece combines quiet strength and femininity. To complement the collection, Gurung collaborated with Sally Hansen to create a very modern collection of nail shades, evoking the designer’s signature use of bold color. On the runway, Gurung used the Sally Read More ...
TweetAdele’s classic style is one I can really appreciate. Sometimes less is more, and this is a great example. Her pointed-tip talons and simple high-shine creme finished beige nail color is perfect; trendy, fashion forward, and elegant. She could have have photos of loved one’s (Katy Perry’s nails last year) or Minx (like Beyoncé), but this worked best. I’ve been on a nude nail polish kick lately…I seriously can’t get Read More ...
Tweet You guys know I’ve been out of the Essie loop for a while, so it’s no surprise that I’m a tad late with this swatch. I had a color in my head and knew exactly how I wanted it to look down to the tones and depth of color. I was ready to Franken (create) my own color but decided to search in-store first because I really don’t like Read More ...
Tweet I spotted Sally Hansen “Malt” at Rite-Aid drug store last night and came home and changed my nail color. Yes, on a Friday night as though I had nothing better to do like getting some much needed rest. I was drawn to this color like a moth to a flame. I love a nail polish name that’s a single word and easy to remember, but I also like to Read More ...

Tweet The promo photos for OPI’s Touring America Fall 2011 collection had me excited about these limited edition shades but in the back of my mind I knew seeing it in real life could make or break this collection. At first glance it looks like typical dark shades we’ve seen from OPI in the past, but this collection has really set the bar for the season and future collections to Read More ...
Tweet Even in the sunlight my camera couldn’t give the all these colors any justice. This is were we have to rely on my description…otherwise some may look the same and I promise they’re not. I personally love jellies but understand that they may not be for everyone. Expect to see a hint of nail tip but keep in mind that the jellies (or sorbet as OPI likes to call Read More ...
TweetBelow Deck – crème blend of taupe and lavender. I love this color. It’s just flattering and doesn’t make me look “dirty” like some taupes—so chic and sophisticated without being stuffy. Sea Spray – crème pale blue with a hint of gray and super subtle white micro shimmer. Another color I love. I love them all so you’ll be hearing it a lot in this post. Sunset Sail – crème Read More ...
