The Working Girl's Staple Nail Polish

In need of a classy work appropriate nail polish shade? Being a recent college grad this is definitely something I've been looking for- I want something more opaque and definitely not sheer, something current and trendy without being over the top... Well here you have it, what I hereby name the working girl's staple nail polish: Essie Van D'Go.

I have nothing but great things to say about this polish- I am so glad I chose it on my last manicure! What nail colors do you wear to work?

I'm Going Mad!

Mad as a Hatter, that is ;) It was a usual day- I decided to go to the nail salon to get a much needed, stress-relieving pedicure, but BAMMM I stopped dead in my tracks when my eyes laid sight on this color: OPI Mad as a Hatter- A fantastically fun pure multicolor glitter color, like nothing I had ever seen before.

This color was a part of OPI's collection created especially for Disney's Alice in Wonderland movie. There were 4 colors released earlier this year in this special edition collection- Mad as a Hatter (multicolored purple/silver glitter), Absolutely Alice (blue glitter), Off with her Red (tomato red color), and Thanks so Muchness!(berry red metallic shimmer).

At first I was unsure of the Mad as a Hatter color, especially because it is summer, and I tend to choose more bright/bold colors in the summer (bright red, pink, blue, etc). However, I LOVE glitter, and this color is truly 100% pure glitter, like no other nail color I have ever seen, so I knew I would regret it if I didn't give it a shot. Well, thank goodness I went with my gut because I am OBSESSED with this polish! It is so amazing, and even more fabulous in the summertime with the summer sun hitting my toes and making them so shiny and sparkly!

I NEED to get my hands on this color, but unfortunately it is sold out everywhere and is priced around $20 for one bottle anywhere I can find it online (Very expensive when a regular OPI polish runs around $8.50); but, I am so obsessed I may splurge on it- I am so infatuated with this color, I can't stop staring at my toes!

Verdict= FABULOUS!!! (5/5 stars)

UPDATE!!- I found this polish! Woohooo! I was walking around the mall and decided to peek into a few nail salons, not really thinking that they would have it, but crossing my fingers just in case, and there it was! The sole lonely brand new 'Mad Hatter' bottle of polish in the for sale section of polishes. I scooped it up immediately, and better yet, it only cost $8! So excited about this amazing find, especially since I was so close to purchasing the color for $20 online!
Stay Fabulous xoxo

Trend Alert- Tiffany Blue Nails

Calling all fashionistas- This is one HOT HOT HOT trend for the summer! Tiffany Blue nails are the new thing for celebrities, style icons, and fashionistas everywhere! The Tiffany Blue shade is quite a distinctive color, and is actually trademarked for Tiffany & Co's sole usage; however, this trendy nail shade comes quite close to the coveted color (in the range of turquoise, baby blue, robin's egg blue, etc.)

Chanel started the craze with their "Nouvelle Vague" Le Vernis Nail Colour, which has been seen on A-List celebrities such as Beyonce. Currently, it is completely sold out everywhere (except Ebay of course, for over $100!)
Since Chanel's polish is very pricey, here are a few other options to help fashionistas on a budget accomplish this trend:

The China Glaze "For Audrey" shade fits this trend perfectly- It is a favorite of fashionistas everywhere. You can purchase China Glaze Polish at Beauty Stores and Nail Salons for around $7, the perfect price for trendy ladies on a budget.
"What's With the Cattitude?" from OPI's Shrek Forever After Brights Collection is an amazing color that can be purchased for under $10 a bottle at Beauty Stores and Nail Salons. I personally love OPI polish- it makes up the majority of my nail polish collection- it is a great brand, with funny polish names, salon quality, and at a reasonable price.

The Tiffany Blue color nail polish trend is perfect for the summer time- It is fun, bright, and fabulous! Experiment with this trend and enjoy looking fierce!

Stay Fabulous xoxo
