You know, just how the proper brushes apply your makeup flawlessly, the proper nail care tools are needed when attempting to keep up a salon manicure or pedicure.

As the money crunch is upon us and the Holiday's coming too, now is the perfect time to invest in the proper nail care tools to help you save both money and time by pampering yourself right at home. Essential tools are one thing - affordable tools to boot are the ultimate find. I found both in these perfect kits from Kiss.

Tracy Reese for Sally Hansen Runway Collection.

/
Look at just how beautiful the latest color collaboration from the shade experts at Sally Hansen and fashion trend-setter Tracy Reese is. For the fifth season in a row, Sally Hansen has partnered with Tracy Reese to create the ultimate seasonal shades for Tracy’s Fall 2008 Runway Show. 


This season is all about surprising pairings on the Tracy Reese runway: high-tech and natural, metallic and sheer, and rustic and refined are just a few of the bold juxtapositions that rule the runway this fall.  Together Tracy Reese and Sally Hansen translated these concepts into chic shades that are as wearable as they are fashionable—on and off the runway.

The 10 new shades of this limited-edition color collection are made with the best-selling Sally Hansen Salon Nail Lacquer, a formula designed to impart salon color, salon shine and salon wear. A natural mineral complex and epoxy resin bond durable color to nails, while keratin strengthens, marine botanicals condition and nourish and silicone allows for smooth application. 

This season’s shades include (from left to right):

Night Lily
Torrid Bloom
Alchemy
The Good Earth
Divinity
Moonstone
Stormy Blue
Raven’s Wing

Missing from the picture as those that broke in transit, so sad! They are Cruel Heart - a deep maroon with gold pearl and Quartz Chameleon - a neutral pink beige with gold pearl.

Look for this limited edition collection at drugstores and mass merchandisers for $6 each.
