Blue Manicure

[button link=”https://www.ragingrouge.com/about-raging-rouge/raging-rouge-llc-disclosures” target=”_blank” rel=”nofollow” color=”RR” shape=”rounded” size=”small” align=”right”]Press Sample[/button]I’ve been having so much fun playing with Blue Manicures. Those of us who are older know that fun colors like blue and green won’t always be on-trend, so it’s important to play with them while you have the chance! If you love Blue Manicures, check out these two shades of nail polish from Formula X! [Read more…] about Blue Manicure

Splatter Paint Nails

[button link=”https://www.ragingrouge.com/about-raging-rouge/raging-rouge-llc-disclosures” target=”_blank” rel=”nofollow” color=”RR” shape=”rounded” size=”small” align=”right”]Press Sample[/button]New Year’s Eve is coming up fast and furious! For those of you who are (like me) nail art challenged, a great way to get a festive look for the biggest party day of the year is to use a top coat with a Splatter Paint effect over your manicure, like these Sephora Formula X shades. These confetti-inspired topcoats are called “Xplosives”, and depending on what colors you are looking for, the retail price ranges from $6 (some are on sale) to $12.50.

Turbulent combines turquoise and black confetti glitter. I personally love the way this shade stands out atop a white manicure.

Bionic is a great combination of black and a citusy green/yellow. When it comes to a Splatter Paint nail look, these colors are a great pick!

Meteoric is no longer online! Check your local retailer for this black/white combo. I am wild about it over a deep pink or red.

Wham is a great way to get into the snowy spirit of the season. This pure white confetti is the perfect topper for just about any shade, but my personal favorite is to pair it with a pale baby-blue.

Buy your favorite at Sephora.com!

NARS Obscura

I’m pretty sure that Francois NARS does not care what I think of his brand. Just in case, I want to be sure to state it for the record, NARS is simply amazing. I know, you choke when you see the prices. It’s justifiable, as NARS is on the expensive side. Let me just make it clear that with this brand, you get what you pay for ten times over.

NARS Nail Polish is a perfect example, worth every cent of the steep price. For YEARS, department store beauty brands sold sub-par polish compared to salon grade formulas. The department store polish of yesteryear was all pomp and packaging. In the past few years, this has changed. Most prestige brands now have a fabulous line of nail lacquer that easily keeps pace with top of the line nail lacquers. But NARS? NARS has surpassed them.

NARS nail polish is so incredibly color rich, you really could get by with only one coat. In addition, the formula is chip-resistant, applies smoothly and evenly. I get excellent wear time from NARS! [Read more…] about NARS Obscura

Love #metallic #nails? The Chromes: Sephora Formula X Nail Lacquer via @ragingrouge — The Chromes: Sephora Formula X Nail Lacquer

Is there anything more perfect for Fall than metallics? I was recently playing with some Sephora Formula X Chromes I purchased for my birthday, and wanted to share these beauties with you. I’m really impressed with Sephora Formula X. The breadth of selection the brand offers is incredible. In the store, I can stare at the polish display for hours (but good news, they encourage you to play, not stare). Keep reading for swatches and pricing! [Read more…] about Sephora Formula X Chromes
