This colour green is really funky. love it.
But there are benefits to a vibrating mascara, and Lancôme’s first foray into the field is a good one. Like something out of a sci-fi movie, press the button to activate 7,000 oscillations per minute - this helps to wrap every lash with a full round of color, and actually less smudging than a regular brush. (Which is the part that surprised me.)
From left to right: Birds of Paradise (my personal fave - a shimmery metallic purple), Rosy Romance, Loving the Lilacs, Coral Reef Daisies, Color Me Calla Lily (a bright pink that’s fab on tips or toes) and Butterfly Kisses.
Essie’s North Fork Collection features three summery colors in Sag Harbor, a cool silver blue; Shelter Island, a sky blue radiance; and Greenport, a dreamy aquamarine paradise. Each bottle retails for $9.00, and you can find ‘em at Essie.com (or click the link in the beginning). I’ve always been a fan of Essie’s polish formula, because it’s long-wearing and reliable. I’m more of a color fan, so I don’t always align with their collections, but I’m so happy to see these three hues join me for the season! Sag Harbor is a cool, pale blue-gray with silver shimmer. Two coats was just right with this baby, but you need to make sure you have nice, even coats that aren’t too thin to ensure a streak-free finish. Shelter Island is a creamy sky blue that’s not overly bright, but it isn’t pastel or pale either. It reminds me of an inviting swimming pool. Greenport is a pale aquamarine color with a creamy finish. It has a lot of glossiness to it, and it’s really opaque.
OPI South Beach Collection My two must haves from this collection are definitely Miami Beet - a deep berry creme - and of course, Done Out in Deco, a spectacular lilac creme. Also in the collection is Sand in My Suit, a beautiful shimmery pale nude that’s right on trend (next-to-nothing shades were all over the Spring 2009 runways.) The Nail Lacquers are $8.50 each and you can shop the collection at BeautySak.
I love the green colour of this polish. Ordered some...I am interested to see what it is like.

The perfect nail file that will not wear down, fits nicely in your pocket or handbag, and looks good in public when you have an emergency repair. 3 very smooth sides for smooth finishing and real control with 1 coarse side for filling down."
