Katy Perry and OPI

Katy Perry not only gets attention for her funky outfits and catchy songs, but also for her crazy nails. I love it! She is my new nail muse haha! She wears anything from glittery purple nails to minx with her husband's picture. Now OPI has taken notice and she is getting her own nail polish collection. The collection includes 6 colors that are as funky and different as Katy's style. They range from glitters to a black crackle effect. Sadly, we are gonna have to wait until January 2011 :( Scroll down to the bottom, because I included a video posted on Youtube by OPI giving us a sneak peak of the collection.

Essie Fall Collection


Essie launched this great fall collection and for some reason it was so damm hard to find! I went to various Ultas and nobody had this collection. I bought mine on Amazon for a pretty good price. I think I paid $13.00 for the three bottles. I purchased the three that appealed to me the most. Essie is definitely stepping it up and moving on from the streaky pinks. The formula on these was great. They were all 2 coaters.
The first one that caught my eye was Sew Psyched! Love it! It reminded me of Chanel's Khaki Vert, but  with a hint of pearl. I got many compliments when I wore this. It fits right into the military trend.


Merrino Cool was next and it reminded me of OPI's Parlez Vous OPI. This color is a grayish purple color that put me right in the mood for fall.


Limited Addiction is pretty normal and red, but it is a very nice, blue based red. If you enjoy reds, this is a prefect shade of red. Now matter how much I enjoy my crazy colors, I love a good red. I couldn't stop staring at my hands when I had this one. I feel like my hands looked very refined haha

                                       What do you guys think of these colors?

Mac Venomous Villains

A Mac is always launching interesting collections and this time they definitely got it right. This collection is based on the Disney Villains!!!! Yay! I have been excited about this collection from the moment I found out about it. It includes 4 mini collections within a collection. The villains are Cruella (101 Dalmations), Maleficent (Sleeping Beauty), Evil Queen (Snow White), and Dr. Facillier (Princess and the frog.) I went to an event, got to try the products, and dress up as the Evil Queen :) Here's what I chose:


                                         Super cute packaging of the Oh So Fair beauty powder



It's a beautiful light pink. The color here is not very accurate, it reminded me of Dame blush. It is opaque enough that you can use this as a blush, which is what I have been doing. What I love about beauty powder packaging is that, when I run out of the product, I can depot it and replace it with my mineralize skinfinish powder. That way you get a cute little compact with a mirror.



I love the nail polishes! They are from the Maleficent collection. I wish MAC had done cute packaging for these. The packaging is like all the other nail polishes; nothing special. I bought 2 out of 3. They are called Formidable and Bad fairy. I'll post pictures when I use them.


                                                            Bite of an Apple packaging.





This blush looks scary! It isn't though. If you apply a light hand, you will get a nice, healthy flush of color. It is a reddish, coral color.


This lipstick is perfect if you are a nude lip kind of girl or boy (I don't discriminate) like me. It is a creamsheen so it looks like you have some gloss on. Vey nice!



Wicked Ways is this great red lipglass. It bleeds, so you have to wear it with lipliner or you can use it over a red lipstick. In liked it, but it's nothing special. The second one is Strange Potion which is a very nice coral. I haven't seen a lot of colors like this. It's also pretty opaque.




                                            Here is my best venomous villain face hahah.

Chanel Nouvelle Vague


Nouvelle Vague is a great color. It is not for the faint of heart. It's a wham bam look at my nails kind of color. I love it! It is a pearly aqua. Since I missed out on Jade, I couldn't miss out on Nouvelle Vague. If you are looking for a color like this and don't want to spend the $25, you can try For Audrey by China Glaze. It is the same Tiffany's blue. The only difference is that For Audrey is not pearly. It's still pretty similar. This was two coats without a topcoat.
