Review: China Glaze - Loves You Snow Much Collection

You may or may not know that I have a severe aversion to glittery nail polish. I was quite thrilled when China Glaze released the Loves You Snow Much Collection. (I know it's a little late, but IMO better late than never.) There are four shades in this collection:
-Tinsel- Silver Glitter
-Ruby Pumps- Red Glitter
-Emerald Sparkle- Green Glitter
-5 Golden Rings- Gold Glitter

I love them all. I'm new to China Glaze, but I'm impressed. The long-wearing colors are free of DBP, Tolluene and Formaldehyde. In a lot of glittery polishes the base color tends to be somewhat weak. Not in these. If I HAD to pick a favorite, it would be Tinsel. It's like... mini disco balls on your fingers. They're also a steal at $3.49 each.

face candy grade: A+

NARS - Spring 2010

Inspired by Catherine Deneuve’s role as Lucille in La Chamade, the NARS Spring 2010 Collection features soft, sexy shades that are as elegant as they are versatile. “I love Catherine’s makeup look in this movie,” says François. “It’s very sophisticated and bourgeois in a Parisian ‘16th Arrondissement’ way. She is the perfect reference for this collection, and apropos for spring, a time to embrace color and get noticed.” The hues are playful yet sophisticated and can be either soft and subtle or bold and daring. As always, the effects are limitless, determined by application, technique, and attitude.
