Zoya Sunshine and Summertime.

/

As I sit here gazing out the window on this first full day of spring, all I can do is wonder about the warmth of that is soon to come. I wish I could feel it now, but alas, this is New England and it is snowing. So. Not. Spring.

What has gotten me in the mood for spring and into summer is the release of the Zoya Sunshine and Summertime collection. Can't you just see these beauties on your tips and toes all spring and summer long?

Sephora by OPI Glee Collection.

/

Do you watch Glee? It is such a great show for all ages. My youngest watches it and sings along as well as my almost 70 year old mother. Now it is time for everyone to jump on the Glee bandwagon, starting with OPI and the Sephora by OPI Glee Collection.

Whether you are a Gleek or not, this limited collection, officially called Sephora by OPI goes Gleek Chic, will feature a set of polishes and some new nail prints, that are perfect for anyone.

 

The Sephora by OPI goes Gleek Chic collection will feature a limited edition range of 10 new nail colour shades and three print nail design appliqués inspired by the show’s colorful cast, fantastic music numbers and comedic references that all Gleeks know and love. The collection will be available February 3rd exclusively at all major Sephora locations in the U.S and Canada including Sephora locations inside JCPenney’s. Its launch will coincide with the much-anticipated special episode of GLEE that will air following Super Bowl XLV on FOX.

Fans will also be able to catch a glimpse of the Sephora by OPI Glee polish during the series’  upcoming Valentine’s Day episode on February 8th, which will feature the characters Mercedes (Amber Riley), Tina (Jenna Ushkowitz), Brittany (Heather Morris), Santana (Naya Rivera) and Lauren Zizes (Ashley Fink) donning the colors.

As part of its online campaign, Sephora will host a “Nailed It! GLEEK Out Photo Contest”, on Facebook urging fans to upload photos of themselves in GLEE inspired looks and a “Hide and Go Gleek” Twitter contest rewarding fans with prizes for correct answers to GLEE trivia questions.

Look for the collection the beginning of February at all Sephora stores and online at sephora.com.

Holiday 2010: Party Perfect Nails with Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure.

/

A quick and easy way to jazz up your look for the holiday is with a handful of pretty, party perfect nails. With the new Complete Salon Manicure Holiday Collection from Sally Hansen, you will get that in just a few short minutes.

The colors in the collection are gorgeous, and any of the shades will do for this most festive time of year.

The glitter nails are full on glitter. My shade below is Starry Starry Flight, and I used only one coat of the polish, after a base coat and top coat. Though you do not need a base or top coat with this polish, I chose to apply than, as I like to get the absolute longest wear out of it.

The new Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure is like getting the full manicure treatment, in one step, right at home. You see, five steps are packed into one formula: Base Coat, Strengthener, Growth Treatment, Color, and Top Coat. The patented formula also contains Vita-Care Technology for advanced wear, more shine, and nourishing care. The brush is shorter, more tapered and more full than your standard brush. It picked up just the right amount of polish and applied evenly and seamlessly in a quick coat. Also important is the fact that all shades are Toluene, DBP, and Formaldehyde free.

Look for all of these Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure shades at our favorite drugstore or mass merchandiser, where they sell for about $7.00 each. To learn more about this innovative new formula and to see all of the colors available, be sure to visit SallyHansen.com.
