Disclaimer: Purchased by me. Have you heard about the world’s most expensive nail polish? The one made of 267 karats of black diamonds? Worn by Kelly Osbourne and Britney Spears?

Disclaimer: Press samples. See bottom for more. Earlier this week, I shared swatches and a review of the Zoya Nail Polish Irresistible collection!

I hope you have a scare-tastic, spook-tacular day, friends! Halloween is one of my favorite holidays – it’s just pure fun! Today I’ve got a couple Halloween manis to share! Eyes in the Dark!

One of the new brands I highlighted in an earlier roundup post about Cosmoprof North America (held in Las Vegas, July 22-24) was LVX (Latin; pronounced lux). In my conversation with the creative director, Branka, I learned what she hopes will make this up-and-comer polish brand different from other brands. Branka said LVX is not just a …

Probably one of the most infamous numbers in pop culture history? 007 OPI is bringing us lots more than just the number “007″ of goodies for holiday 2012, with a 12-piece collection and themed gifts that complement the new Bond movie, “Skyfall.” Before I keep sharing, I want to ask you – if you share these …

Before I jump into these China Glaze Summer Neons, I wanted to let you know that The Beauty Loser is NOT going away. I just need a break for a couple weeks. I’ve been struggling, which you know. I need to figure out how to make losing weight a priority again, and how to MEAN …
