I probably don’t have to tell you how fond I am of OPI, but I will again. They have, hands down, the best polish out there. Most professionals use it for a reason. They have made improvements in the design of their brushes so that you can do a more beautiful job at home as well, OPI polish is very worth spending a few more dollars on. This collection will be released February 6, 2008 - so be watching for it at your local salons!

I love these colors in the Dashing Diva Italian Ice collection - this might be a blue polish that is wearable for me. I don’t do orange, though (saw those horns off!). ;) They are:

Paparazzi Pink – A sheer, luminescent hot pink shade

View from Anacapri – a sheer, shimmery sun-dappled, light turquoise shade
Fellini Bellini – A sheer, luminescent peach-fuzz shade

Have you tried these?

Dashing Diva makes killer polish, and its a great price ($8). Get them at DashingDiva.com, or if you are lucky enough to have a Dashing Diva near you, stop in! (/me thinks this is the down side of living in the country)

Spring 2007 - Creative Nail Optix

creative-nail-optix

This is Creative Nail Design’s Spring 2007 collection, Optix. Whatcha think about that blue? Might be do-able. Green is out - Orange is ALWAYS out (for me, anyway…lol), pretty pinks and white. Along with the blue (which I don’t think is going to last long) solid white nails are very in fashion for spring, as are all white outfits as well. I like the white myself - I am sort of a drama queen (in style, anyway), and white is dramatic like black, but….. sweet. Just like me.

/me…never mind. ;)

Paint Your Nails Blue For Spring

By Christina 8 Comments

blue-nail-trend

Join the *always hot* celebrity bandwagon as they ditch the dark reds of wiLifeStyle3-14-07nter and pick up on the dark blues for spring. Catch Eva Mendez sporting her blue nails all over town in Life & Style Magazine this week. I really love blue in just about everything, but blue nails really aren’t one of my favorite looks. Black yes, but not blue. Go figure. Maybe I will get crazy and go find a pretty blue and give it a whirl, and maybe not. :)

If you are going to sport this look, just like if you are sporting the red/blacks of the last year, be sure your nails are kept pretty short and always manicured - no chips. We are going for cute and trendy here, not scary, which is where you will be headed with long blue or black chipped talons. ;)

Teri, at PrettybyNature has a great post about SpaRitual’s Nail Elixirs - they are Vegan, and also free of DBP, toluene and formaldehyde. I have a renewed interest in these polishes after seeing how well they can perform! Go check out what Teri has to say about them…

Dashing Diva Incredible Extra Virgin Collection

By Christina 5 Comments

I have to say, I was not expecting much from this collection. I have never been one to be very picky about the chemicals in my nail polish, or too worried about them, to be honest. I just want my polish to apply well, and last 2 weeks and I figure we are using alot safer stuff than we did 40 years ago, so it must be ok. So when I heard about this Extra Virgin collection, which is DBP (dibutyl phthalate), toluene and formaldehyde free, I really thought - there is no way this polish is going to be any good. Each of these chemicals have been blamed for various cancers, birth defects, fertility problems and a myriad of other stuff, so if we can do without them, yeah, we probably should. So, enter Dashing Diva’s Extra Virgin collection:

dashing-diva-extra-virgin

My assumptions were SO wrong about this polish - this is excellent polish. Absolutely among the best.

First I tried the gorgeous darkest color - Kissing Cranberry Kim - it lasted 2 weeks, no problem. Thinking this must be a fluke, I tried the bright, Prima Donna Pink. Huh, it lasted too. One more - the gorgeous PERFECT red - Convertible Red Connie. It is perfect too. This collection is not only healthier for you (especially important for those of you who are pregnant), but the colors are amazing. The perfect dark red, the perfect red-red, the perfect bright pink - the perfect French manicure colors. The application was great - the polish is nice and thick (not too thick, although you will want to be careful to keep the bottle necks clean or they will get too thick pretty quickly, I bet). This collection seems a little more geared towards cool skin tones, although there are a few of the colors I have not actually seen in person, so there may be some more warmth to those than I think. Get one of each, they are a very reasonable $7.99 each from DashingDiva.com. I promise you will love them!
