Halal_nail_Polish_60_AED_BCI.jpg Even if you are not Muslim, you might pay attention to the new H by BCI range of Halal-certified nail polishes as a cultural artifact.

Pitter_Patter_Butter_London.jpg

MAC Iris Apfel Collection (2012): For All The Seasons of Life {Beauty Notes}

Iris_Apfel_MAC_ad.jpgIris Apfel is your dream of an eccentric, flamboyant grand-mother come true. From the top of her 90 years of existence, she dispenses style-cum-wisdom lessons without even trying because what she displays is the result of decades of practice and instinct-in-action.

After an exhibition at the MET honored her and a book about it came out in 2005, Rare Bird of Fashion: The Irreverent Iris Apfel by Eric Boman, with an introduction by Harold Koda and a contribution by Apfel herself, her style and eye-glasses in particular have been acquiring iconic status...

OPI to Launch Burlesque Collection Inspired by the Movie {New Beauty Products - Nails}



OPI-Burlesque.jpg
OPI is preparing to launch a new collection of glittery nail polishes to coincide with the release of the movie Burlesque by director Steve Antin featuring Chistina Aguilera, Alan Cumming, Stanley Tucci, Cher, among others. As a beauty and perfume blogger I can add this tidbit: Christina Aguilera, Alan Cumming and Cher all have had or still have fragrances in their names. Aguilera is the champion in the category with XPose; Christina Aguilera; Inspire; Christina Aguilera By Night.   

The range is likewise entitled Burlesque and will comprise 12 different colors. Some of the as-usual playful names are Bring on the Bling, Extra-Va-Vaganza (this makes me think of the newly coined beauty term "vajazzling") and Rising Star...

Illamasqua Spring-Summer 2010 Nail Polishes: Beautifully Faded and Dusty {New Beauty Products -Nails}


illamasqua-nails-spring-summer-2010.jpg
Illamasqua have unveiled their new collection of nail polish colors for Spring-Summer 2010 and they are beautifully faded and dusty. They debuted today February 20th, 2010 in the UK, exclusively at Selfridges, after having taken their virgin trips on the fashion runways.

The four new shades are called Mint Green, Lemon Yellow, Powder Blue and Lilac. I especially love the Powder Blue color.  They look like Easter-egg colors seen through a veil of gray chiffon.

Each nail polish is priced at £13 or about US $20 at current exchange rate.

Tracy Reese for Sally Hansen Collection: Beautiful Nudes and Lattes {New Beauty Products - Nails}



tracy-reese-Hansen-B.jpgThe new collection by Tracy Reese for Sally Hansen has yielded beautiful results. The line is a gorgeous palette of neutrals, nudes and shades of café au lait, lattes, dark chocolate. The whole gamut of the experience of drinking at a café in Paris except it looks super chic on nails. I really love the subtlety of the colors here. Methinks the palette needs to stay together on each hand! 

The range includes Evening Fog, Fedora, Wet Clay, Touch of Mink and Bitter Sweet.

"For the ninth season in a row, Sally Hansen has joined forces with fashion icon Tracy Reese to develop the season's essential accessory: stark nail lacquers inspired by Reese's fall collection."...

Chanel Jade & Jade Rose Limited-Edition Nail Polishes {New Beauty Product - Nails}


Chanel-Jade-vernis-polish.jpgChanel is issuing a limited-edition of two rare colors of nail polishes inspired by the house's recent runway looks.

I am not 100 % sure which collection is referenced here, but found two matching looks from the Ready-to-Wear Autumn/Winter 2009 fashion show which took place in March 2009 in Paris (click to enlarge the pictures below)...

Nars Miami Sun Set (2008) {New Beauty Products - Eyes - Lips - Nails}

Miami-Sun-Set-Nars.jpgIf only visually, as found in their packages, the saturated-color trend this summer is drool-worthy and Nars is now offering fiery colors to match the sun this month of July with its new limited-edition set called Miami Sun Set. It includes a yellow and brown Duo Eye Shadow in Sundance, which they describe as being golden and terracotta, a pot of Lip Lacquer in Capucine, and a red Nail Polish in Dovima.

The deep red-orange of Capucine which seems to be a cross between a tangerine and a blood orange is a rarer shade and is just luscious to look at; if I had to buy just one item, it would be that one. Actually, I wished I could just dip my finger in that pot right now! It looks much paler on the Nars website however. There they have both Capucine and Dovima, but not Sundance, as separate items.

The set is sold exclusively on Sephora.com for $65 (a $72 value), with free shipping.
