While I know people raised in the Phoenix area can’t wait to put on a pair of boots the second Labor Day passes (even if it’s still 95 degrees), this gal will be wearing sandals, flip-flops, and open-toed shoes until December. AND I get to wear colors like NARS Ikiru all year round! Jealous? Keep reading to see a NARS Ikiru Swatch and more about this gorgeous turquoise shade. Perfect for your tootsies!

Purple Manicure With Chrome Accent Nail

hese #purple #nail polishes would look great with a chrome #accent nail! via @ragingrouge — Purple Manicure With a Chrome Accent Nail

The modern manicure is all about mixing finishes, complementary colors, and the unexpected. I was playing with nail swatches the other day, and thought these three shades together would make an excellent purple manicure with a chrone accent nail for fall. All three of these shades are from the Sephora Formula X collection. [Read more…] about Purple Manicure With Chrome Accent Nail

Playing With Nail Color

I’ve been a bit slow on the reviews these days, so I’m posting this just for fun. Here’s what it looks like when I play with nail lacquer. I’ve become a bit of a color hoarder these days, so my first step is to swatch every shade I own and put it in a fan deck. Then I can breeze through my color collection to see what I’m in the mood to wear. In the photo above, I’m playing with Nail Color to determine which would make a great mani/pedi combo. It’s so easy to do when you have actual samples of what a painted nail would look like in any given color. Plus, it’s just pretty damn fun.

These shades are all from the Sephora Formula X collection. You’ll be seeing more of these beauties in the future. While you’re waiting though, don’t miss Infatuated and Unmistakable for summer. I heart them. I’m wearing Unmistakable on my toes right now, topped with one of the new MAC Nail Transformation top coats (in Highlight).
