Two Lacquers from China Glaze's New Bohemian collection

Howdy friends :) Today I have two of the nail polishes from China Glaze's New Bohemian collection that came out this summer. The collection is made up of six "luster chrome" lacquers. I guess that's a fancy way of saying duochromes. These were sent for review but I would've probably chosen these two to get even if I picked them up myself.

First is Swanky Silk a rich luxe pinky gold peach duochrome. I have seen a few dupes of this one that came out around the same time, such as Deborah Lippmann's Sugar Daddy. Though I can't speak to those, I can say that this polish has a fabulous formula and an amazing color. I wasn't expecting to love this as much as I do. I have worn this twice since I've gotten it, which says a LOT. This is two coats. I included a photo in the shade so you see the duo color a bit more.

Next is Deviantly Daring, a uber lush blue teal greeny duochrome. This one was more brush-strokey in application and they don't disappear but it's not a terrible thing, a lot of metallics have that type of finish. This one is brilliantly saturated and a lovely color, but it is not super duochromey like I expected. This is two coats.

What do you think of these two polishes? Did you get any of the shades from the New Bohemian collection from China Glaze? I love me some duochrominess so these two are right at home in my collection. You can buy China Glaze polishes from your local Sally Beauty Supply store or online at various e-tailers.

Look Who's Back! Rescue Beauty Lounge Fall 2012

Hi folks! I am happy to announce the triumphant return of Rescue Beauty Lounge base collection colors Coral, Moulin Rouge, and Grunge! I have wanted these colors since I first became a polish fan and put off getting them until, sadly they were out of stock. The outage unfortunately lasted for a long time. But now they are back! Be sure and learn from my past mistake and grab yours now while you can!

First is Coral, one of my biggest lemmings ever. It is a perfect bright mango pinky coral. Quintessentially happy and fun. As Ji says, this isn't your grandma's coral! Uber fantastic formula, jelly crème buttery goodness. Two coats. Please forgive my slight tip wear, I had to put this on immediately after I got it and wasn't able to get a photo until a few days after. I have a feeling this will be my new go-to pedicure color!

Grunge is a really amazing color. In the realm of a band-aid but better color for my skin tone, but slightly greyer with a subtle pink shimmer glaze. Excellent as a palate cleanser color and lady-like enough to wear in a formal office setting, with just a hint of, well, grunge! Two coats.

This is Moulin Rouge, a red wine crème sultry lady. Oxblood is a super hot trend right now and this is the definition of it. Buttery and shiny with a fab color payoff. It can look more brown in different lights and lights up vampy red in others. Two coats.

You can pick these up on RescueBeauty.com now for $20 each. It'll be the best decision you make all day ;)

OPI Designer Series Shades for 2012

Hi there! Today I have the two new Designer Series shades from OPI for 2012. These are formulated with diamond dust and are a few bucks more than regular OPI shades. In the past they were primarily holographic but in the last few years the releases in the DS range are mostly glittery. The two new shades are foily, glitzy, glowy and fabulous.

Luxurious is a sunshine orange glowy bomb of hotness. It reminds me of China Glaze Riveting from the Hunger Games collection, but this is slightly warmer and more red. This applies like a dream and it's really an unbelievably gorgeous shade. I am UBER into oranges this year and this is like my fantasy polish come to life. Two coats.

Indulgence is in the same league as Luxurious, this time in autumn apple red with gold. The base is on the cool side but the firey gold glitz warms it up. The shimmery flecks really bogart this photo, but in person it perfectly compliments the red base. Seriously perfect formula. Two coats.

I can't explain how freaking hot these are. I am in love with both of them. By far the best DS polishes released in YEARS. Do you have them? If not, do you want them? If not, what's wrong with you?! They are unbelievably awesome.

P.S. The winner of my Misa Wanderlust giveaway has been randomly selected and contacted. Congratulations!!
