They are universal yet vibrant and playful shades that are the perfect complement to any spring wardrobe. “These are two very wearable lip colors that are fun, happy and will make you look and feel beautiful,” says Deborah. “Just apply and go – if you don’t have time for anything else. A great lip shade will make you look put together and sophisticated.” she adds.

L.A. Christine No3 Berry Face Oil
L.A. Christine No3 Berry Face Oil ($58) is enriched with a cocktail of potent antioxidants and vitamins. It’s a proprietary formula that includes raspberry, Brazilian Açai Berry and Scandinavian Lingonberry, a unique plant that only grows locally in the wild, which Dr. Oz recently called “the new superfruit.” A drop or two goes a long way in enhancing the skin’s elasticity and giving it a youthful glow by keeping it hydrated all day long. Compared to creams, many of which are wax-based and sit on the surface of the skin, this therapeutic oil works with the skin’s natural oils, deeply penetrating to nourish, heal and soothe. The product quickly absorbs without an oily residue, smoothing wrinkles and stretch marks, and helping makeup go on smoother. The oil is great for all weather conditions and skin types (normal, oily, dry) and can also be used on the hands, feet, body, and even as a hair conditioner.
L.A. Christine No3 Berry Face Oil
This unique luxury product is developed through time-tested ways and a philosophy that unites European Scandinavian tradition with California’s healthy active lifestyle. L.A. Christine is committed to developing products that are completely free of parabens, mineral oils and petroleum, and that are cruelty free, with absolutely no animal testing.
Product available on their website and a reader alerted me that it’s also available on Amazon.com!

Sally Hansen @Golden Globes 2013
Did any of you guys watch the Golden Globes this year? Sally Hansen is present as ever that night. Read on.
EDIT: Arm Candy swatch here.
“At the 70th annual Golden Globes, glamorous nails were the ultimate accessory. Three of the night’s biggest stars –Naomi Watts, Jennifer Lawrence and singer Adele — manicurists turned to Sally Hansen to create their signature nail looks for the red carpet.
Naomi Watts
Celebrity nail expert Tracey Sutter created the look for Watts, nominated for Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture–Drama. Tracey used Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Arm Candy to create a natural effect.
Sally Hansen Arm Candy
To get the look, Sutter filed down Naomi’s nails very short before applying Sally Hansen’s Cuticle Instant Remover. Next, Sutter applied 2 coats of Sally Hansen’s new Complete Salon Manicure Nail Color in Arm Candy – giving Watts just the right amount of color she wanted.
Jennifer Lawrence
April Foreman was the expert behind Lawrence’s nail look, using Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Sheer Ecstasy for the Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture–Comedy or Musical nominee.
Sally Hansen Sheer Ecstasy
To get the look, Foreman shaped Lawrence’s nails “sqound” giving both a square and round look. Keeping her hands hydrated, Foreman applied Sally Hansen Smooth and Perfect Hand Crème before applying 2 coats of Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Sheer Ecstasy.
Adele
Celebrity Manicurist, Kimmie Kyees used on Adele a sheer coat of Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in So Much Fawn with two coats of Complete Salon Manicure in Copper Penny layered on top. Kyees finished off the look with an exclusive topcoat created for tonight that had gold in it to help enhance the color in Copper Penny for the best Original Song, Film nominee.
Sally Hansen Copper Penny
Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure is an all-in-one formula that combines all the 7 benefits of a professional salon manicure—a base coat, a strengthener, a growth treatment, rich color, top coat, gel-like shine and chip resistance —in a single multi-tasking polish ($7.99).”

China Glaze Tranzitions Collection
COLOR + TOP COAT = ENDLESS CREATIVITY
China Glaze® Introduces Tranzitions Color Changing Collection
Los Angeles, CA – (December 2012): There’s nail art and then there’s China Glaze® nail couture.
Reverse French manicure, half moons, ombre, basket weave, dots or racing stripes: nail designs are intricate and multi-colored. China Glaze® introduces a new way to get multi-color, unique nail art with fewer bottles of polish with the new color-changing Tranzitions collection!
China Glaze® Tranzitions’ revolutionary new nail lacquer reacts when a clear top coat is applied, changing the color from one shade to another for a stunning effect. Wear any of the six beautiful, color-shifting shades alone, or allow your creativity to run wild and create intricate nail designs by applying a top coat in specific places. Try different looks using nail art brushes, free-hand designs or nail guides. Because each shade changes color, you get two lacquers in one, creating an entirely new look with just one swipe.
The China Glaze® Tranzitions collection features six shades, though with the color transition, you get 12 unique shades including:
China Glaze Split Perso-NAIL-ity
Split Perso-NAIL-ity – Dusty pink shifts to fuchsia
China Glaze Duplicity
Duplicity – Mint green shifts to vibrant teal
China Glaze Modify Me
Modify Me – Periwinkle blue shifts to indigo blue
China Glaze Altered Reality
Altered Reality – Teal blue shifts to turquoise
China Glaze Metallic Metamorphosis
Metallic Metamorphosis – Silvery grey shifts to bluish-charcoal grey
China Glaze Shape Shifter
Shape Shifter – Smokey violet shifts to dark purple
How It Works:
Step 1: Apply a base coat.
Step 2: Apply two coats of China Glaze® Tranzitions shade of choice. Allow to completely dry.
Step 3: Lastly, apply one coat of clear top coat such as China Glaze® Fast Forward and watch the color change right before your eyes.
For more nail design ideas, click here to view the China Glaze® Tranzitions video.
The China Glaze® Tranzitions collection will be available in January 2013 at fine salons and beauty supply stores nationwide.
China Glaze is free of DBP, toluene, and added formaldehyde, and is never tested on animals.

OPI Germany Collection
OPI Germany Collection press release info is out! Read on.
Edgy Elegance
OPI Launches the Germany Collection for Fall/Winter 2012
OPI embraces runway trends with the Germany Collection for Fall/Winter 2012. Drawing inspiration from Berlin, an exciting new fashion hub that blends classic looks with the avant-garde, the collection’s twelve shades offer a mixture of vibrant color, urban-chic neutrals, and reds in variations from light to dark.
“Designers showcased rich colors and striking textures for fall,” explains Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, OPI Executive VP & Artistic Director. “The Germany Collection beautifully complements these looks, with standout shades in various hues of red and burgundy – the season’s ‘new black.’ Sapphire, black olive and lime yellow are married with creamy neutrals in honey, taupe and nude rose.”
“The overall feel of the Germany Collection is elegance with an edge,” adds Suzi. “The varied palette of colors adds another accent to the list of special touches – think beadwork, paneling, fur and embroidery – that walked the runways during New York Fashion Week. Wearing these shades on fingers and toes is a great way to accessorize a range of looks for the season.”
Germany by OPI includes the following shades:
OPI Don’t Pretzel My Buttons
A haute honey-beige that can always make you smile.
OPI My Very First Knockwurst

Sallly Hansen #GetMagnetic Contest Nail Color App
There’s a neat contest going on by Sally Hansen. Also, enjoy the following press release about their Magnetic line!
Sally Hansen Magnetic Nail Color
INTRODUCING MAGNETIC NAIL COLOR
FROM SALLY HANSEN
THINK: Magnetic Appeal
WHAT THEY ARE: Create a gorgeous 3D nail art effect in just seconds using these magnetic polishes. This unique formula has been specially developed with metallic particles to create a pattern on the nail using magnetic forces. As the magnet is held over the nail, the iron filings in the formula gravitate toward the magnet forming the pattern/design secretly hidden in the magnet for an astonishing finish!
Step 1 – Apply 1 coat of base coat. Shake Magnetic Nail Color to activate. Remove overcap with magnet and set aside. Apply 1 coat of Magnetic Nail Color to all 10 nails and let dry.
Step 2 – Apply a thick second coat of color to 1 nail and immediately hold the built-in magnet over the nail. Rest the guide just below the cuticle without touching the wet nail polish. Hold for 10 seconds. Repeat for all 10 nails and let dry. Finish with a top coat.
AVAILABLE SHADES: Ionic Indigo, Red-y Response, Kinetic Copper, Silver Elements, Golden Conduct, Electric Emerald, Graphite Gravity, Polar Purple
WHAT IT COSTS: $9.99 each
WHERE TO FIND THEM: Drugstores nationwide
