During January I like to decompress and detox from the holidays and convert to my ‘no makeup’ makeup look – think NARS’ “Orgasm” collection. I also detox with fresh juices, let my skin breathe and wear a pretty ‘neutral’ shade of pink on my nails. A neutral shade of pink wears longer because it doesn’t show chips as dramatically as a dark nail color and you can do touch-ups yourself with a bit of room for mistakes since the color is sheer.
I am absolutely loving Essie’s nail polish in “Mademoiselle”. It is a classic sheer shade of perfect pink. I found it at my local nail salon and loved it so much, I bought a couple bottles for my collection at home. It is also a favorite of top nail manicurists, beauty editors and celebs like Madonna and Cindy Crawford. It is also the perfect shade to get me in the mood for Valentine’s Day. Think PINK!

With the release of Alice In Wonderland movie in March, a few beauty brands have entered into the entertainment world to promote Tim Burton’s upcoming Disney movie. Who could blame them? Ever since I started seeing promo images of the new movie, I was amazed by the makeup artistry used on the characters. Absolutely stunning!
A few weeks ago, I first mentioned Urban Decay Alice in Wonderland Makeup Palette and now OPI is jumping in.
OPI Alice in Wonderland Nail Polish Collection includes limited edition polishes in:
- Absolutely Alice
- Mad as a Hatter
- Off With Her Red!
- Thanks so Muchness!
The collection will launch in January.
What do you think about the OPI collection?
