GIVEAWAY EXTENDED: WIN Blue Nail Polish A La Beyonce

THIS GIVEAWAY HAS ENDED. 

Hot mama! Just a few weeks ago, Beyonce made her first post-baby appearance at Jay-Z’s Carnegie Hall concert. The L’Oreal Paris spokeswoman sported a red, form-fitting Alice Temperly dress, embellished Christian Louboutin heels, a big blue cocktail ring and a bright blue mani. Yes, colorblocking is “in”, but we like to think that her baubles and polish were an homage to baby Blue Ivy!

You can achieve a similar “polished” look with “Jet Set To Paris,” a brand new L’Oréal Paris Colour Riche lacquer.

“Jet Set To Paris” is one of 42-prestige inspired shades that shade in the collection promises rich coverage, high-wattage shine, and 10 (yes, 10!) days of hold. The line offers everything from classics like pink and peach to fashion-forward denims and neons. Each shade is $5.99 and can be found at  www.lorealparis.com and chain drug, food and mass market retailers.

Ready for the giveaway? THREE (3) lucky readers will win a bottle of L’Oreal Paris Colour Riche Nail Polish in “Jet Set To Paris.” To enter, simply leave a comment below. This giveaway is open to residents of the United States only and ends on Monday. February 27th. Good luck everyone!

butter LONDON’s Latest Lacquers

It’s warmer than usual here in NYC, but its still waaaayyyy too cold for my liking. So I’ve decided I’m going to “think Spring”, and butter LONDON’s Spring/Summer 12 lacquer collection is totally getting me in the spirit. Packed with soft, opaque pastels, and a few pops of glittery color, the latest shades include:
  • Bossy Boots: Light, opaque pistachio green. A beautiful take on neutral for this season
  • Disco Biscuit: Tropical hot pink with an undercurrent of tiny iridescent glitter particles
  • Knackered: A sheer, twinkling oyster shade flecked with micro glitter particles.
  • Slapper: A truly teal lacquer, bold and very bright.
  • Trout Pout: An opaque shade of cantaloupe, pale and retro.
Find them for $14 a piece on ButterLondon.com.

A DIY Mani That Lasts Up To 2 Weeks (We’re Serious!)

I’m a huge fan of CND Shellac, the at-the-salon mani that lasts up to 2 weeks. (In all honesty, I’m going on three weeks with my current one…in black, no less!) Now, a company called SensatioNail is promising similar results: no chipping or smudging, and zero dry time, all in a DIY  kit. For $50 you get all of the supplies, including enough gel polish for 10 manicures and an LED light. It’s a 3-step process to apply the polish, and can be removed with 100% acetone.

Right now, the SensatioNail Starter Kit is available in Scarlett Red and Raspberry Wine. Come January, you can find SensatioNail Invincible Gel Polish colors (each provides 25 manicures) in both solid and shimmering finishes. Find it at Walmart and select CVS locations.
