Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics' (OCC) up and coming collection looks so fun! I am super excited to get my hands on that John Doe lip tar and nail polish! What do you guys think? The collection launches on June 1st so mark your calendars!

Spring is in the air, open your window to new colors! Christian Louboutin is releasing a three nail polish set in a box inspired by Jackson Pollock's drip/splatter style paintings. The set of brights retails for $90. It includes a medium blue, light yellow, and a cream color.
If you are a nail polish or Louboutin enthusiast this would make a great addition to your collection. Although I don't know how many will be splurging on the $90 set. What are your thoughts? I personally only buy expensive polishes in colors I would wear consistently. Otherwise I feel like it's a waste of money.
Find the trio here!

Coming January 1st 2015 to all salons (including Ulta), OPI is releasing a Fifty Shades of Grey nail polish collection. It includes what looks like six colors in silver, grey (duh), and a gorgeous crimson. I can't wait to get my hands on Christian Grey these nail polishes. I love grey to begin with and add in names like "My Silk Tie" and "Cement the Deal" I'm all in. ;)

First, I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving! Keeping with the warm tones of the holiday season I chose to paint my nails a metallic gold from Nars. It's called Gold Viper. I love it! It's really like jewelry for my nails.
Find it here!

This week's Mani Monday is a rich one. Essie's new nail lacquer in "Partner in Crime" is the perfect vampy Fall polish. It's a deep rich chocolate brown with a high shine finish.
I love how shiny it is, resembling patent leather. I used my Sephora Formula X nail cleanser, base coat, and top coat. So far it's been a week without any chipping. This is the perfect shade if you want to add a touch of the trending 90's grunge look to your everyday beauty routine. Find it here. Find the Sephora Formula X system here.

Happy Mani Monday lovers! This week I treated myself to my first gel manicure. I usually get pink and white gel tips or just do regular polish so I wanted to test out what everyone is raving about, the regular gel polish. So far I have to say, I love it! No chips, high gloss, smooth finish. Since I love pale neutral colors on my nails I decided to try OPI's Funny Bunny. I love this polish, it comes in regular form too so I was able to get a pedicure so my toes match. Such a perfect classic color. Not too white and not too pink, I can see this being a favorite of mine for a long time.

“The red sole was born from red nail polish. I am giving back to beauty what the shoes took from the nails many years ago.” –Christian Louboutin
I couldn't wait until Monday (Mani Monday) to show you guys the uber glamorous Christian Louboutin Nail Rouge. It is by far more than a nail polish, it is like a collectible. The packaging screams femme fatale and I literally gasped when I opened my Sephora box and saw the glossy box inside. It couldn't believe the size and just how gorgeously done the bottle was. They didn't spare any expense on this, and the price shows at $50 a bottle. I really can't wait to see the other colors, like that taupe grey I had my eye on a few posts back.
The polish is thick but not too thick where you can't spread it evenly and smoothly. One coat is really all you need for an opaque, true to color, glossy manicure.
This polish may not be for everyone, but it definitely needed to be in my shoe lover, makeup addicted hands.

It's Mani Monday again, wow the weeks are flying by. This week I wanted something brighter and happy so I chose FormulaX Unmistakable, a robins egg blue. I also decided to try Sally Hansen's new Miracle Gel Top Coat and so far so good!

It is almost August and now is when the Fall collections start coming out of the woods. I love when the season change. It's a refreshing and renewing time and new makeup is always a great thing! This week I have my eyes on a few really great things... check em out!
What have you guys been wishing for lately?

So you ask, a foundation for your nails? I say yes! Butter London has a base coat in a satin nude tone. I think it would be universally flattering. You can wear it underneath your nail polish to create a flawless application or you can wear it on its own. Above I have just the nail foundation on (4 coats mind you) with no top coat. Now if you want the above opaque finish you will need multiple coats, there is no question. It will take some time to dry. But that can't really be a complaint because the purpose is to use it as a base coat not as a standard nail polish.
This nail foundation is not a necessity but it does work nicely and I like that it can be worn on its own. It has a satin finish meaning it has a little shine but appears almost matte.
You can find it here and check out the promo code below for a free makeup bag with your order!
For those of you that don't know, I love shoes. Christian Louboutins have always been the epitome of sexy in my opinion. I am lucky to own a pair and although very sexy, they are not very comfortable.... Sigh. Now Mr. Louboutin is releasing a range of nail polishes and I cannot contain my excitement! I can now wear Loubi's everyday! Now all we need is a Loubi red lipstick to match. (hint hint, Christian!)
Each nail polish retails for $50, which for those of you always wanting a piece of Christian's collection this is your chance at just a fraction of the cost of a pair of shoes or a handbag. The packaging is all the class and seduction you would expect from the Louboutin brand in a lusty little bottle.
Red rouge is available for preorder now at Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue, and Neiman Marcus. You can also be notified when it is available from Sephora as well. They will be ready to ship out on August 6th and the rest of the 30 shades will be launched on August 31st. (That taupe gray looks gorgeous!)
