Fairy Lights is the first color in the collection and in case you did not know faily lights are what the British call small white Christmas tree lights. While it does not look like a white light, it definitely has a holiday feel to it. Fairy Lights has a metallic chrome formula so it will look like a rosy pink foil was applied to your nails when you wear this polish. This is the perfect color to show off your holiday spirit but it also is a great color that will be perfect spring and summer, allowing you to definitely get a lot of wear from this color. Remeber this and the other Holiday 2011 colors are limited edition so make sure you hurry out and buy yours today.

A Tart With A Heart is a nice way of saying a hooker with a heart or gold or a fallen woman with a kind soul but for some reason Butter London associates  this phrase with the holiday season. In any case, the color of this polish is amazing. It is a pale pink glitter with a bit of grey to tone done the girlishness and add an edge to the polish.  This is another color that is perfect for the holidays as well as will be a great shade to wear in the spring and summer.

Besides being the third ( and best  shade in my opinion) Butter London Holiday 2011 color, The Black Knight  is also the name of a beloved character from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. This polish is a black base with pink, blue, silver, and black suspended in it. This reminds me of Christmas lights at night as they twinkle in the darkness. I love this color and will definitely be buying this shade

Summer 2011 is all about being bright and bold. This brightness is easiest to find in clothing and shoes but there is some great makeup that is colorful and vibrant but will not make you look like a clown wearing it.

The Givenchy Le Prismissime 9-Colors Eyeshadow is a great eyeshadow collection with bright and bold colors that will make not only your eyes shine but your entire self as well. Givenchy was inspired by neon lights when creating this limited edition 9 color collection. There are two blue shadows and two green shadows in this palette as well as a white, brown, yellow, orange, and purple shadow. One blue, one green, and the purple shadow are described as being a flashy matte. The other blue and green as well as the brown, orange, and yellow are Mother of Pearl Inflected and the white shadow will emphasize the neon glints from the other colors. You can wear a single color alone, layer one over another, or use different colors on different parts of your eyelid creating a multi color eye. Each color can be used wet or dry and you can even use them as an eyeliner.

The eye shadow and the nail polish are really the ones connected to the look of denim but the blush and lip products are colors that complement and set off the looks of jeans.

As a child I loved Wonder Woman  and had the underoos  to prove it. With her lasso and bullet proof bracelets I thought she was the coolest super hero ever.  While the character has been around since the 1940s, the height of her popularity was in the late 70s when Lynda Carter starred in the televison show The New Adventures of Wonder Woman. Slowly, starting in the 80s her popularity decreased but in the 90s there were talks of  making a movie of her though it never got off the ground. Now in 2011 she is back in full force not only with the announcement that NBC was going ahead with making an updated Wonder Woman TV show but MAC Cosmetics  has gone ahead and released a Spring 2011 Wonder Woman line of makeup.

MAC Cosmetics has been a leader and innovator in the world of professional makeup for a while as well as a poplar choice for everyday consumers as well. The color palettes are strong,  bold and not for the tame hearted.  The pairing of Wonder Woman and MAC could not be a better fit since both are paving the way for all women to show that they are strong and confident. All of these products are limited edition so you will need to hurry up and buy them today.

OBEY ME and SPIRIT OF TRUTH

The excitement level for the movie Pirates of the Caribbean is not just seeing Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow it is also for the OPI Pirates of the Caribbean nail polish collection that will be released shortly before the movie which is May 20, 2011.  Not confirmed but I am hearing that the nail polish will come out on May 1st.  This 7 piece collection of polishes features 6 creme polishes and a silver shatter polish.  The colors are inspired by the Caribbean Ocean are are cool pastel colors.  Many people are saying that a pirate collection of nail polish should be deep dark jewel tone colors but I like these colors. They are perfect for the spring and summer days.

L-R:

• Silver Shatter, a shimmering silver with a crackled, two-texture silver finish
• Skull & Glossbones, a gorgeous light gray
• Sparrow Me the Drama, a pink that means business
• Steady as She Rose, a dangerously seductive rosy pink
• Planks A Lot, a lust-worthy purple
• Strangers Tides, an unchartered sea of sage
• Mermaid’s Tears, a magical green

The exact date of the release of this collection has not been announced but it should be out late April. If you can not wait for these colors, especially the silver shatter you can get other Shatter Polishes Here.

UPDATE: SILVER SHATTER AND THE REST OF THE PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN COLLECTION ARE AVAILABLE NOW

NARS Cosmetics, founded by Francois Nars in 1994 is the leading brand of makeup for makeup artists, designers, and photographers. Francois , a makeup artist wanted to create a artistic, bold makeup that would stand out on the runway or pages of a magazine. NARS is a brand for women who want their makeup to grab attention and they are quite successful at it. While NARS is best known for their vivid eyeshadows and lipsticks, their nail polishes are equally as bold and exciting.

The selection of colors of NARS polishes is not as expansive as other brands and you will not find many varied shades to a color but that is fine because the hues of a color are the perfect one. Another great thing about NARS nail polishes is that even though they may only release a color for a season or two before pulling it, they do re release some of those colors as part of their vintage collection.

According to top fashion editors and stylists some of the hottest colors for nails this Spring 2011 season are blues, greys, pale pinks, and nudes. NARS has all of these colors in either their regular collection or their vintage collection.

My favorite of the “hot” colors is their blue polish called Blue Lagoon and is part of their re released Vintage Collection,  meaning that you should hurry up and buy a bottle today. The is no announced end date for this color but I would not take a risk that it will be around for too much longer. This iridescent powder blue polish is on the thin side so you most likely will need 3 to 4 coat of this color on your nails. A trick with this polish to prevent it looking streaky is to wait a few minutes between coats so each one has a chance to dry, this will make each coat go on flawlessly.  Another great idea to do with this color is to layer it over another blue polish.

NARS  Orgasm nail polish is a pale peach pink nail polish that has a bit of a gold iridescence to it.  This is a very sheer polish so if you want a more opaque finish to it you will either need 3 to 4 coats to it , waiting a few minutes between each coat to prevent streaking , or use it  as a top coat over another color. This color does look good though with a coat or two as a sheer polish.

If pink is not what you are looking for but still want a pale color for this spring then a nude polish like Versailles
is a great choice. This color is a very pale color with a bit of a gold shimmer to it so you will need 3-4 coats to it. If however you want a darker nude, a smoky taupe color that is creamy not sheer then Bad Influence is the color for you.  Since this color is not sheer you can get a great finish with 2 coats.
