Christian Louboutin BoutiqueWell beauty lovers, Christian Louboutin has giving us another reason to visit Paris!

“Heels offer a gesture to the leg, and nail colour adds a gesture to the hand,” says Christian Louboutin.

The bottles that encapsulates Christian Louboutin’s saturated nail colours are almost as signature as the red soles that made his shoes a household name. Faceted glass, crowned with a glossy black spear cap, this bottle is the main focus of his first beauty boutique which was just unveiled in the 19th century Passage Vero-Dodat.

Victoria Beckham x Nails Inc Collection

victoria beckham nails inc collaboration

In my book everything Victoria Beckham turns to gold — except in this case where it’s red and white! I’m referring to the designer’s new collaboration with Nails inc of which she’s created two unique limited edition polishes inspired by the look and feel of her Spring/Summer 2015 collection. Formulated with Nails inc’s new Stretch-to-Fit technology and Bamboo Extract with Silica, the polishes promote nail growth, reduce imperfections, and help to ensure a smooth application.

Anything but a Faux Pas: Illamasqua Nail Varnish

Pretty Connected contributor, Elizabeth Borenstein finds a new nail polish line to add to her collection…

Illamasqua shades Kink and Faus Pax

Nail polish changed my life the day it stopped me from biting my nails. This obsession with painted nails took on a whole new level when I was treated to a nail art manicure by the supremely talented Miss Pop of www.misspopnail.tumblr.com (check out her site and prepare to be amazed!).

As soon as I received lllamasqua nail varnishes in shades Faux Pas (blue violet) and Kink (bottle green) I promptly ran over to visit Miss Pop and get the skinny on what she thought about the new formula, which promises a “unique rubbery finish”.

Manicure by Miss Pop

After sampling the nail varnish and working her artistic magic Miss Pop gave her seal of approval,

“Great brush, polish applies evenly, and the color is rich and unique-you only really need one coat (although they recommend two). The finish is not matte or shiny it falls somewhere in the middle, it’s like nothing I have seen before.”

I agree. I love the shades (I’m so into muted jewel-tones at the moment) and the finish, and after wearing the polish for a few days I noticed my nails felt stronger and grew faster than with regular polish.

Illamasqua Nail Varnish ($14) is available exclusively at Sephora

Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Nail Color

sal han

People seek different things when it comes to selecting and applying their nail polish.  Some enjoy the salon manicure experience, and some like to get creative with patterns and kits.  Others spend time applying a bottom coat, multiple layers of their chosen color, followed by a top coat (or something in between), all the while being ever so patient with the drying process to create the perfect at home manicure. 
 
And then there’s the girl on the run.  And for that girl, there is Sally Hansen Insta-Dry Nail Color.  The wand is like nothing I’ve ever seen. Compared to the average size, it’s huge and it only takes one coat for full coverage.  The brush is amazingly precise and makes the polish so easy to apply.  (Make sure when dipping the wand, you wipe the excess polish on the edges of the jar, otherwise you may find

Dell Computers + OPI Nail Lacquer = One HOT Laptop

Dell Mini in 'I'm Not Really a Waitress' by OPI

Dell Computers is partnering with OPI nail lacquer to launch a collection of Dell Mini, Inspiron, and Studio laptops based on 20 classic OPI colors such as “Big Apple Red,” “Kyoto Pearl,” and “Rosy Future,” along with six holiday shades including “Merry Midnight” and “Smitten with Mittens”.

I’m loving this trend of technology meeting beauty/fashion; first the digital clutch from HP and designer, Vivienne Tam, and now, Dell collaborating with OPI.

Unlike the HP/Vivienne Tam laptop scheduled to launch Spring 2010, the Dell/OPI models will be available next month. Just in time for the holidays — it makes a perfect gift especially for a beauty blogger (ahem).

And considering I’m kicking around the idea of moving to Hawaii for a few months, I could definitely use the “I’m Not Really a Waitress” laptop!

Available: November 2009, US Only
