OPI Fall Collection 12'

As we settle into Fall, the time has come to give up our neon and pastel nails for richer, darker colors. OPI has partnered up with the James Bond franchise to being us nail polish feens some fabulous new polishes and even an 18k gold tip coat. Yes ladies, gold for your nails.

First off is the Skyfall 007 Collection featuring 12 new polishes ranging from glitters to deep purples. I am absolutely obsessed with these colors. Especially "The Living Daylights", I just need that multi glitter polish on my fingers like yesterday. 

I have to say my favorites are: Tomorrow Never Dies, The Living Daylights, Live and Let Die, The Spy Who Loved Me and The World Is Not Enough.

You can find these polishes at any nail supply store for $8.50 a bottle or try eBay/Amazon to score these babies for a great deal.

Next up we have the super awesome Magnetic Holiday Lacquers to celebrate the 50th anniversary of James Bond. Each one these come with its own unique magnetizer to create striped, diamond or wavy patterns. 

Bond...James Bond is a gold shimmer that makes a diamond magnet
Is That Silva? is a metallic silver shimmer that leaves a striped magnetic behind
Morning, MoneyPenny is a rich burgundy which leaves lovely waves. 

And lastly we have the ever so fabulous 18K Gold Top Coat 'The Man With The Golden Gun'! Now even though the price is a little much, $30, I cannot pass up the opportunity to have gold flecks all over my fall manis and then brag about it. Call me superficial, whatever, every girl loves gold and this girl likes it on her nails. You can score this little bottle on eBay or Amazon as well for a good price, you just have to search. 

Overall I love the new James Bond partnership and all the new polished. Would I buy every single one? No. A few? Hell yes. What do you think of the new polishes?

This Season's : Nail Trends

As Spring surrounds us and Summer's touch is close by, we bask in the beauty of neons, florals and pastels. The trends don't stop there though! We have gorgeous trends for pretty little hands and feet as well. Below I've listed the top 4 and I personally believe each one is a must-try because they could not be more fun and fabulous!

 

C/O Birchbox

 

1. Ombre Nails: It's like the hair trend, but for your nails! You can achieve this look by painting each of your five nails a different shade of one color. Meaning if you picked blue, you would go from light to dark blue as you paint your nails. We saw the ombre look all over the runways this season and I think it's a fun, new look to try out especially with pastel and neon polish!

2.  Reverse French Manicure: I absolutely love this look! It is so fun and fierce. You start by picking any two colors you would like, one for the main part and one for the peek-a-boo reverse french. You begin by painting your nail the color you would like for the french part. Let it dry completely! Then you can make the french part two shapes, a half moon or a triangle like the picture. For the half moon, place the nail stickers close to the bed of your cuticles covering what you want to show, then paint the rest of your nails the other color, top coat it and there ya have it! For the triangle, you paint the rest of your nail diagonally to the right, then to the left leaving the bottom on your nail showing with the previous color.

3. Glitter Nails: Now this trend I LOVE! I'm convinced glitter runs through my veins. Add some glitter to your mani & it's an instant party! You can paint your nails entirely with glitter or use it as a top coat. Start with your favorite polish and add this on top for a pop of sass. You can also use the glitter to do a french mani. There's so many ways to wear it, how can one choose?!

4. Neon Polish: This is so perfect for summer. From bright oranges to shocking pinks, this trend is a must try for everyone. Keep it simple though, no crazy two toned manis. you can add a top coat of glitter is you like, but keep it subtle. Now all neon colors are a bit translucent, so make sure to paint your nails a light white first and then apply the neon color so it pops!

So my lovelies, what do you think of this season's nail trends? Will you try any out or play it safe with your usual color?

Trend Alert: Neon, Neon & More Neon!

No matter where you shop or where you go, you can be sure that you'll see something neon. Neon is the hottest thing for this Spring/Summer 2012. The brighter the better. If it's not loud and in your face, it's not neon enough. It's kinda like the 80s and 90s threw up all over us, but that doesn't mean I'm not utterly obsessed with this trend! 

Now wearing neon can be a bit tricky. You wanna keep it to one or two pieces of neon at a time. You don't want to end up looking like those bright-lite toys we had as a kid. Take the picture above, you can do a neon pink dress with neutral shoes or rock a blazer with those banging orange shorts. Also try the neon pants with a simple top and jacket. Try out a thin neon belt as well, you can wear your favorite LBD and accentuate your waist with the belt and your fashion ready.

If your not ready to try out a neon statement piece, you can simply rock this trend on your nails! Essie has adorable neon colors ranging from greens to over the top bright yellows. Get a mani/pedi with these little colors and you'll be ready to go. I personally love the neon pink and orange nail colors. 

You can also use neon in your shoes, jewelery or handbags. Forever 21 has some great neon jewelery, like the necklace shown below. I mean it has spikes and neon?! What more could a girl ask for? Oh and it's only $7.80! All you gotta do is throw on a pair of jeans, a cute sheer top & this necklace and your ready for anything.

Now neon handbags are a must. Whether it's a clutch, side bag or a big arm bag. I personally LOVE Steve Madden's neon side bag line. They range in sizes and come in neon green, purple, pink, orange and yellow. They have them in different sizes for $78-98 bucks. And if that's not in your budget, Target has similar bags for about $20-30 bucks each. Pair these bags with your outfit and your ready for spring time. I mean these bags are total attention grabbers.

Last but not least, you can rock the neon on your feet. Neon ballet flats are my personal favorite or those cute neon sandals for the beach. Steve Madden carries tons of neon shoe fashion. Your neon shoes can spice up any old outfit. Trade in your boring black ballet flats for a pop of color with a bright pink pair.

So what do you dolls think of this trend? You in or you out? I know I'm guilty of owning tons of neon clothing and accessories. I personally can't get enough of this trend!
