Get Lost in Colour with China Glaze Summer Specialty Collection

**press sample** 

I love getting nail mail but love getting surprise nail mail even more.  China Glaze has made us love them more now that we have their limited edition collection featuring six shades inspired by the tones found in the vast desert landscape where glowing pinks and reds are cooled by a serene turquoise and glisten against shimmering neutrals. 

I was able to cross out "seeing the desert" off of my bucket list.  Due to the inability to visit THE Sahara desert, the sand dunes in Death Valley, California credited as THE hottest place in the world, will have to do.  

Although since 1922 higher temperatures were recorded in Lybia (according to Weather.com and their article published on 5/7/13) is pretty deserty for me :) 

Anywhere I can make a sand angel :) 

Anyway... 'nuff of the non sense and nerdy fun facts!  It's no secret I love to see different places do this with nicely painted nails.  
The collection reminded me of that trip to the Death Valley a few months ago.   So without further ado! Here they are! 
What's She Dune? is a creamy beige.  Desert neutral.
Meet Me in the Mirage is a metallic brown with copper tones.
  
Don't Desert Me.  I couldn't desert this gorgeous metallic fuchsia even if I wanted.  (who would want to?) 
 
Don't Mesa with my Heart.  Creamy bright pink. 
 
Rain Dance the Night Away.  I would! walking through the desert appreciating the beauty of creation can keep you up all night. 

The Heat is On!   Oh it's on alright! but this creamy red can cool you down as you look down at your amazing mani! 

Some nail art!!! The collection is very cohesive.  All shades pair well with one another. 
 
I needed a distinctive yet, subtle mani! 
 
I hope you like it! 
   
This collection launched on June 1st. Don't miss out! it's a LE (limited edition) This one is a keeper from the season of sand angels to snow angels!  For more info dont forget to check out China Glaze's website and social media platforms

Summer 2015: SinfulColors Street Fusion

**press sample** 
Can you believe it's June? Synonym of oh-crap-we're-half-way-through-the-year and summer ^_^  SinfulColors sent me these super adorable summer pretties as part of a product review and they sure yell sun, sand, courtyard and rooftop parties.
I will show you first my very favorite.  Sky Tree.  The picture does it NO justice.  It is more of a emerald-y shimmery green.  I was infatuated by it.   Pairs soooo well with the diamond ring I saw at Macy's store closing sale that my boyfriend DID NOT buy for me :'( but surely agreed this would be the color to accentuate that ring!  was that a hint?? I mean come 'on... it was 60% OFF!!!!!
 
When I mentioned rooftop parties earlier, this is what I had in mind.  Otaku Anime, a beautiful shimmery yellow.  Don't be shy to try this beauty over black "undies" or background to your latest nail art inspiration! or comicon meet? Perhaps!  I got something cooking (in my head) ... stay tuned ! 
 
Ahh the pinks!! i'm a sucker for the pink nail polish family.  Cherry Blossom!  A metallic petal pink.  A collection staple!  Wear it like a princess for a subtle yet trending shade! 
 
Season color trendy shade.  Meet Island Coral!  I am speechless.  Just bring me a Pina Colada and a mini umbrella!  ....Please.... :) 
 
Keira Blu is a metallic indigo blue, not overly impressive.  Maybe it was the time of the day, or of the month or the fact and swatching this one got on the way of me and a spiked Margarita.... It's cute and all... just not overly wow-zy! 
 
Copper Pot instead was breathtaking and will surely carry us into the next season in style,  It's a tad lighter than shown here yet, breathtaking by its glistening gold glow.


What do you think?? Do tell!!!!

NYC New York Color Expert Last Lip Color-MATTE

**press sample**  NYC New York Color has released new lipsticks.

"The perfect balance: a mix of matte and satin! These satin matte shades are perfectly wearable, from day to night, from casual to glam, this lipstick will complete your look. The long lasting, amplified color wears up to 6 hours with a velvety and glamorous finish. The formula doesn't feather or bleed.

Available Colors: Smooth Beige, Creamy Mauve, Pure Coral, Velvety Fuchsia, Red Suede"

They are not as matte as advertised and this fact makes me very happy.  They are indeed feathery smooth and easy to glide.  I felt moisturized and very happy with the season trending lip color. Funny that they are called matte as it is more of a satin finish than matte and a sweet candy divine smell!!!! I dont ever want to run out!!

Price: $1.99

Smooth Beige

Velvety Fuchsia

Pure Coral

Pure Coral wins the prize if I had to pick one.  It's the perfect mix of red-orange and vibrant lip color for a change.  

Which is your favorite??

Brights Collection by OPI

**press sample**

OPI succeeded at bringing us its idea of an electrifying palette of all new, on-trend brights to rock throughout the bright summer of 2015!!! 

The nine pretties feature pinks, red, and hues of blue with a surprise relative of the yellow/green family.  You'll see!!! 

First up is Down to the Core-al.   get it?  this is the go-to collection staple for early summer fun! a fun coral with pink shimmer

 
Hotter than you Pink is actually pinker than you think! :)  It's a gorgeous pink hue with princess like pinkple (pink and purple) shimmer :) 

My Car has Navy-gation is the bright navy blue color seen here.. I was fully inspired to do a color black mani but my ring finger nail broke after this, although unrelated to the application of Life Gave me Lemons, it was still a heartbrake and inspiration killer. These two were the very first ones I swatched with inspiration, so that alone should tell you, they are special!!!!!
  
The Berry Thought of You gives me the berry (cough cough) very thought of a nice summer evening by the Jersey Shore (the Jersey Coast, not the t.v. show) and a romantic meal.  It gives me the nice pink-berry fuzzies! 

I Stop for Red is a bright red although not particularly siu generis, it fits the collection.

I Sea you Wear OPI thinks of that same Jersey Shore line where you meet other people and oddly recognize the nail polish they are wearing.! yes that happens!!!! But I dont think it would happen to anyone around me with this silvery blue gem.
       
Can't Hear Myself Pink doesn't let me hear myself think about the same thing I said about the previous pretty above this!  except in pink! This pink shimmers a silvery tone and surely stands out especially under the bright summer sun!
 
and lastly, On Pinks and Needles, a different sizes glitter topper 

all in the pink/red family, here's a cluster to help you see them better. 

Can you pick a favorite??  which would it be??
