Just what are the fall trends in nail polish this year?

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

The Pantone Fashion Color Report for Fall 2010 predicts that purple orchid, chocolate truffle, woodbine, and seven other hues will make up the palette for the season.
Red lips and red nails look amazing when done correctly!
What tells you and me is purple is going to be all over the place (and it already it!) with lots of different brands of nail polish companies bringing out their own take on purple, chocolate and other shades this fall.

Can everyone wear purple? Sure! Just got to be careful that it doesn’t wash your out your hands in (too pale colors) or make your hands look old (some dark’s can do that) and work with your skin tone not against it. You can wear just about any color under the sun if you work with your skin tone not against it. With so many shades of any color of nail polish out there, you will find the one that works for you. Isn’t hunting for the best color half the fun anyway?

Women of all ages are embracing our ability to express ourselves in bold colors. So what happens? The fashion world brings out fashion designs more tailored, men-wear style looks in other words totally boring and against our want to wildly express ourselves in color. Nail polish companies don’t care and bringing out their own takes on fashion so metallics and creams are all the rage again, in dark vamp colors all in the many shades of fall.

The new soak off nail polishes are becoming a hit with those that don’t want to bother changing their nail polish or visiting their manicurist every time their polish chips. For those of us who enjoy the change of colors, stay away for gel applied soak off nail polish.

Well we can’t talk about nail polish without doing a giveaway right?

As always don’t go changing your nail shape, keep following the natural shape of your nail. Remember short, well-kept nails are always in fashion.

BB Couture Infamous Lovers Collections, Boys & Girls Are Here!(Update)

BB Couture has release two collections under Infamous Lovers! They really are cool looking in person..Some were shy about having their photo taken so the swatches for a couple are still being worked on. We are doing a off the wall kind of giveaway as well.. School is in now for many of you, or your children so I am making you put your own thinking caps on.. Giveaway at the bottom..
We got the infamous lovers in guys:
Adam
Anthony
Michael
Clyde
John Smith
Romeo
There partners in crime, love and passion are:
Eve
Cleopatra
Carla
Bonnie
Pocahontas
Juliet

Now I know my history so I thought for fun I would give away one set of either the guys or gals.. Leave in comments below your answer please
Question of the day to win a set of either Infamous Lovers (your choice) is:
Do you really think Pocahontas and John Smith were lovers or do they just love from afar and never did anything about it?

Leave your answer in comments and the drawing from the correct answers will be tomorrow afternoon! Now everyone think, yes or no? And if yes why, or if no why? For real fun leave in comments if you are in the USA or International.. This giveaway is open to all!
That’s it… Happy Friday everyone!!

Comments are now closed.. the winner will be picked in a bit..

The answer comes from Wikiedia.org
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pochahontas

Historical records do not suggest that Smith and Pocahontas were lovers. The romance is featured only (but repeatedly) in fictional versions of their relationship (such as the 1995 animated film by Walt Disney). The first romance was written about them in the early 1800s, suggesting the story’s mythic appeal. Accounts of such a romance have been repeated in films made in the United States as late as 2009.

The answer is no they were never lovers. She worked with him, saved his life but when on to marry a different Englishman named John Rolfe.

The winner is EvilAngel6! She gave the best all around answer! I have emailed her already and she will like the ladies set from the Infamous Lovers Collection. So that left me with a set of nail polish to giveaway still.. The men’s side of the Infamous Lovers. Check post for 8/31/10 to see what I decided to do.. :)

It’s a 10 Miracle Leave-In Conditioner & October’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month ~ my product review

Everyone loves a great cause right? With so many women out there who either had breast cancer or know someone who has understand that no matter what screens and treatments are needed. Specially for those who do not have health insurance. With that said, I got so lucky that I got contacted by the PR for It’s a 10 Miracle Leave-In Product to test out and review. Also to help get the word out that the sales of It’s a 10 Miracle Leave-In Product will go to helping Christine Applegate’s Charity Right Action For Women
It’s a 10 is donating 10% of proceeds from the sale of the Miracle Leave-In product. “During October’s Breast Cancer Awareness month, proceeds from the sale will help women at high risk for breast cancer get the screenings they need to beat this disease.”

Will be on shelves through October in support of BCA month.

It’s a 10 Miracle Leave-In Product
Just what is It’s a 10 Miracle Leave-In Conditioner?
About the product:
The It’s a 10 Miracle Leave-In Product:

It is an ideal solution for smoothing hair, eliminating frizz, restoring shine, and enhancing natural body. As well, it is an excellent nourishing treatment that can be used alone and/or as a restorative styling product that leaves hair soft and bouncy. Made with numerous natural ingredients our Miracle Leave-In Product works with all hair types to bring out natural luster and manageability while also making hair stronger and healthier with every use.
It’s a 10 Miracle Leave-In Product is fortified with natural ingredients such as:

Their tip on how to use it:
For a smooth yet controlled style, place one or two spritz’s of It’s a 10 Miracle Leave-In Product into the palm of hands. Then, gently run fingers through dry, styled hair instead of pomade or styling crème. For extra shine, apply more product to wet hair then blow dry and style as normal. This works great if you don’t want to use hair spray that day! If applying to wet hair you can spray it on, just spray lightly or spritz’s a few times into the palm of your hand and work it.
Not sure where to find it in your area:

Visit this link:http://www.itsa10haircare.com/store_finder.php
It will give you a list of hair salons that care Its’s a 10 products. Even the hair salon I go to has it. I was surprised because till I was I got an email from their PR person I had never heard of the product. Now I wish I had! Which easy to use, spray while hair is wet or dry. Having blond hair that runs on the dry side It’s a 10 Miracle Leave-In Conditioner works amazing great with my mousse when I blow dry my hair. Doesn’t leave it heavy and the scent is pretty and light! I have found it works great with mousse and sea gel hair spray. I love sea spray because it’s a gel that isn’t heavy. The scent of It’s a 10 Miracle Leave in Conditioner is a flowery scent, but not old lady flowery.. make sense?

It's a 10 Miracle Leave-In Conditioner in the pink bottle

You can get It’s a 10 Hair Care products all year around in the blue bottles depending if your hair salon offers it, but during the month of October It’s a 1o Miracle Leave in Conditioner has teamed up with Christina Applegate to donate 10% of all sales to Right Action for Women. Christina Applegate, an Emmy-winning actress and breast cancer survivor founded Right Action for Women in 2008 after receiving her own breast cancer diagnosis.

She got lucky and so many women do not. Without the right treatments and screens breast cancer is still one of the number one killers of women.

Its will be 4 oz size only and price is appx $18 depending on where you are. You may not think 4 oz is much for the price but believe me it lasts a very long time!! Just be sure that you purchase the pink bottle :)

Here is a link to Christina’s charity: http://www.rightactionforwomen.org/index.html

Product was send by PR for reviewing, as always my opinion!
