So, tomorrow, I am having dinner with the lord.
As in Lord Wedgwood. (Of Wedgwood china.)
I shall be jetting off to DC for around 24 hours for the experience, but I rather not look as bedraggled as I will surely feel.
On my nails is the hotter-than-hot Illamsqua Nail Varnish in Collide, a neon pink.
Perhaps it’s a bit bold and daring for dinner with an English gentleman, but I want to leave my mark – and stand out. What else would I wear?
From a beauty gal perspective, I love it because it’s long-lasting and chip-resistant – much like me. It’s also intense. …read more

Would I consider black nail polish?
At one point, I would have said no…but now I can’t imagine having felt that way!
MAC’s Style Black isn’t just black nail polish – though that is an option – but what it is is a super-hot mix of product that is largely inspired by the concept of black.
I will be covering other aspects of the launch in some very soon to come blog posts – but I love a lot of it – but for now, I want you to take a second to consider why you need to own this polish. Imagine the …read more
Nicole by OPI Nic’s Sticks

I may be a beauty editor, but I am terrible at doing my own nails – until now!
Nic’s Sticks are literally nail polish in a pen, made for the lazy girl in all of us.
It’s by Nicole by OPI, so you know it’s good stuff – and you just throw it in your purse and paint your nails whenever you feel like (like on the subway, which is where I experimented with this).
I have a tendency to streak and smear every time I attempt to paint my nails – with this, it was perfect results! Am so excited.

She IS into purple nails…

And so am I!!!
This weekend, the girl who wears her heart on her sleeve was also seen bright purple polish on her nails in all her scenes of the hit film “He’s Just Not That Into You.”
Gigi, played by Ginnifer Goodwin, a self-professed fan of purple and blue lacquers in real life, sports a few different versions of the regal color as she looks for romance. This made me an instant fan: I, myself, wear purple nail polish all the time, and like to think I may have started a bit of a trend of it locally. (OK, …read more
Robertson Boulevard Nail Polish by Chanel

While I am not a great fan of the quality of Chanel’s nail polish (why oh why don’t they improve this??), the colors never fail to totally rock. They have just released the Robertson Boulevard collection:
This pink is to die for. Yellow, while not a color I can wear, if you can wear it, its gorgeous and super current.
Chanel polish retails for $25, and is available at your nearest Chanel boutique or online at Chanel.com.
BTW, what I *don’t* like about Chanel polish can be pretty easily remedied. After a few uses, the polish thickens up to the point …read more
