China Glaze Hologlam Collection Press Release & Promo PicturesI know that a lot of you have been highly anticipating this collection.

Well, China Glaze sent me the official China Glaze Hologlam Collection Press Release & Promo Pictures, so now I can share them with you!

I’m really excited to try these and to see how they compare with the holographic nail polishes that China Glaze has put out in the past.

Out of the 12 shades, I’m naturally drawn to When Stars Collide, OMG A UFO, Don’t Be A Luna-Tic, Take A Trek, Strap On Your Moonboots, and Galactic Gray.

What about you? Which ones are you interested in the most?

Illamasqua Speckled Nail Polishes & New Blush Up Brush Press Release & Promo Pictures

8 Replies

Illamaqua Speckled Nail PolishHave you seen the new limited-edition Illamasqua Speckled Nail Varnish? I’m really excited about it because it reminds me of Easter eggs.

How fun! Instead of having to layer with a glitter, you can get the look right from the bottle!

In this post, I have some official images of the 4 different speckled nail-polish shades as well as information and photos on Illamasqua’s revolutionary Blush Up Brush.

Unlike regular round, fluffy blush brushes, this one’s really cool. It’s flat and long. It was designed to fit perfectly in the hollow of the cheeks. This brush really intrigues me because I don’t have anything like it.

I’m most looking forward to Liberty (the blue) and Stevie (the purple). And I have to say that the gold, Solange, sounds like it’s going to be absolutely incredible!

I’m a big fan of the nail-texture trend. Are you? Which ones catch your eye the most?

OPI Joins Joie for New York Fashion Week

6 Replies

OPI Hits the Catwalk for Joie New York Fashion Week 2013Since the last time I blogged about OPI’s involvement in New York Fashion Week was well-received, here’s another little press release you might enjoy.

OPI Joins Joie for New York Fashion Week with Big Apple Red and Black Onyx!

Do you own either of those colours? I only have Black Onyx, and I’ve used it in the past for a lot of nail art (especially for creating pupils).

Okay, maybe I have a highly active imagination, but in this photo, for some reason, the hand looks like it doesn’t belong to the model. It looks like there’s some creepy zombie reaching up to touch the model’s face. Doesn’t it? Okay…maybe I just shouldn’t compose blog posts really late at night… 😉

OPI Struts the Catwalk During New York Fashion Week 2013

8 Replies

OPI at New York Fashion Week 2013You already know that I love nail polish, writing, and the colour green. But did you know that I love fashion, too?

While I’d never call myself a fashionista or style maven, I have subscribed to many fashion magazines since I was in elementary school, and I get just as excited about buying new clothes as I do about listening to amazing music. (Some of my favourite shows that I’ve watched are Project Runway, Fashion Police, and the old What Not to Wear.)

I enjoy participating in fashion trends, but haha, I know better than to try to partake in every single one. Basically I choose to follow the ones that fit into my personal style, although I also like to try new looks to broaden my horizons and to have fun. (Fashion, like beauty, is about having fun to me!)

PR sent me 4 press releases yesterday about how OPI Struts the Catwalk During New York Fashion Week. Although I’ve never posted anything like this on here, I felt it was something cool to share, so I hope that you’ll appreciate it.

To me, it’s very interesting seeing nail polish in action on the runway and to watch colour trends making their mark. Plus seeing the colours on different models shows you how versatile the hues really are.

4 New Nicole by OPI Nail Lacquers for 2013 Press Release & Promo Pictures

4 New Nicole by OPI Lacquers for 2013Yesterday, I showed you the press release and promo pictures for the Nicole by OPI Modern Family Collection.

Today is another ‘press release day’. This time, it’s to show you 4 New Nicole by OPI Nail Lacquers for 2013!

The pink and red ones are very timely, especially because Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. Are you ready for Cupid? 😉

But it’s the dark shades that my eye was drawn to first. The black in particular intrigues me. I wonder if it’ll be a one-coater. (Currently, my favourite black polish is China Glaze Liquid Leather.)

Out of these 4 hues, which got your attention first?

Nicole by OPI Modern Family Collection Press Release & Promo Pictures

Nicole by OPI Modern Family Collection Press Release & Promo PicturesWow! The Nicole by OPI Modern Family Collection contains 14 (count ’em) nail polishes!

I’m really happy to see that the Modern Family Collection contains a wide variety of colours and finishes. (I whipped up a simple little collage so you could see all the colours together.)

Which stood out to me? Am I Making Myself Claire? (lilac), She’s Lily Something (star glitter), Stand by Your Manny (periwinkle), Alex by the Books (seafoam green), and Candid Cameron (teal)!

I haven’t seen any in person yet, but from online swatches that have been popping up, they look great!

(Hey, interesting how after I’ve been mentioning recently that there aren’t many periwinkle polishes, I’ve noticed that more new collections actually contain a periwinkle! YAYYYY!)

So…do you watch Modern Family? I’ll admit it – I’ve never seen a single episode! Am I the only odd one out?

Although I haven’t been following anything regularly, I’ve been checking out Parks & Recreation, The Soup, The Colbert Report, American Idol, and The Carrie Diaries when I do turn on the TV.

As you can tell, I prefer to watch light-hearted stuff. It distracts from the bad things you hear about in the news like gruesome discoveries of dismembered bodies. *Shivers*

Watching the news makes me feel uncomfortable and sad. Sure, I like to be ‘in the loop’ of the world around me, but to a certain degree. I dislike reports of accidents, deaths, and violence. Sadly, I keep up more with entertainment news than actual news…

I’m also not really into medical dramas or murder mysteries (unless it’s a classic gem like re-runs of Columbo! Love Peter Falk and his series!).

But…back to the polish, right? Which of these colours interest you the most? And, for those of you who watch Modern Family, which is the ‘punniest’ polish name you like?
