I’m a sucker for a pretty sheer polish, especially if it has an opalescent shimmer. I happened to have bare nails when I went by the Guerlain counter recently and was able to try their limited edition nail polish, Stardust, for their Spring 2014 Meteorites Blossom collection. I was immediately sold. What can I say…
Ah Jin Soon Obsidian nail polish, you are a beautiful thing. You are like a twinkling galaxy of prettiness on my nails, and it makes me happy to look at you. Your lovely multi-coloured glitter in that creamy black base – divine! I previously shared my love for you here. But I felt a more…
Sometimes all it takes is one photo of a beauty campaign to send me running to the cosmetic counter. Dior Trianon Spring 2014 is one of those times. The whole collection evokes the gorgeous yummy colours of Sofia Coppola’s film, Marie Antoinette. Dreamy, pretty, feminine and, well, perfection. The nail polishes were calling to me….
Full disclosure: sometimes I buy beauty products and then don’t use them. This happened with Jin Soon French Lilac nail polish. I thought it was so pretty, had to have it, bought it. French Lilac was released as part of Jin Soon’s Spring 2013 as part of their Botanical Flower Collection, and was named by…
Oh, Chanel. And oh, Ommorphia (she’s a horrible/woderful enabler). I blame the two of them for making me get Chanel’s latest and most beautiful red nail polish, Rouge Rubis, from the Collection Nuit Infini de Chanel 2103. I have several red nail polishes, and while they might be similar, they are not the same. Really. I…
Waaaahhhhh Dior did it again! They recreated their stunning little bijou of a nailpolish bottle for their latest holiday collection and of course, I could not resist! The Dior Golden Winter Collection has several covetable items that I’m considering, but I could not resist Dior Minuit. All of the Holiday 2013 polishes are beautiful, but…
Nothing like a collection of Chanel’s favourite nail polishes to get a Chanel Addict going. I’ve had & loved Chanel Le Vernis Particuliere since it wss releasedI fell in love with the classic red of Chanel le Vernis Pirate, and had to seriously question my status as a beauty expert when I realized I did not…
Well, the weather is getting cooler, so I’ve been busting out my favourite cool weather things. Shoes with closed toes (eek), long sleeved things, sweaters, and more importantly, my darker vampy nail polishes and my beloved vintage leather jacket. So of course, out came Chanel Vertigo, from last year, and it just seemed right for…
Warning: pedicure/toes photo ahead! I’ve recently heard from people who are freaked out by foot photos, so I thought I would offer a warning. Although if you’re here it’s likely too late. Ooops. I recently became obsessed with some Chanel Le Vernis shades from their summer 2012 collection. That would be the hot pink Tentation,…
Good heavens, Chanel! How do you make such magical and dreamy shimmers? Taboo (Le Vernis 583) is beyond gorgeous and I am seriously in love with this divine colour. It looks like a vampy deep red, but it’s flecked with purple, red and blue and just kind of incredible in any light. Application is a…
