Thakoon for NARS Nail Collection 2012

Fashion and beauty have always gone hand in hand. Now, those hands have the nail polish to match. Introducing the Thakoon for NARS Nail Collection, the brand’s first collaboration with a fashion designer in the nail category.
Already frequent collaborators at New York Fashion Week, founder and creative director Francois Nars has partnered with Thakoon Panichgul to develop a limited edition, six-shade nail collection.
In conceptualizing the shade range, Thakoon was inspired by the vibrant colors found in Indian spice markets. The highly saturated, high-shine shades come in an opaque finish, perfect for spring. Formula is long-wearing, chip-resistant and toluene-, formaldehyde- and DBP-free.
Since his first collection in 2004, the Thailand-born, Nebraska-raised designer’s clothes have graced chic, modern women around the globe, including Jessica Alba, Marion Cotillard, Rachel Bilson, and First Lady Michelle Obama.

The holidays are fast approaching! NARS 2011 Holiday Collection

[twitter-follow screen_name=’NoireTropicalB’]

This year has flown by at break-neck speed and holiday collections are already out! Christmas is my favourite holiday! There is something about the mood of everyone that I love, the excitement, the decorations, toute bhagi!!!!!!

NARS Holiday 2011

NARS continues the trend of opulence, glamour, bold colour and modern retro-ness (which by the way I LOVE!!!!!!! I am kinda tired of the neutral, understated classic-ness of the past few seasons!).

The NARS Holiday 2011 Collection is decidedly decadent. Bold, shimmery lips are paired with rich eye color and a classic cheek. Lips offer the perfect balance of luminous and matte shades. Eyes smolder in exquisite, mysterious black hues infused with red, purple, gunmetal pearl, or shimmer. For a dramatic finishing touch, skin is set aglow with rose cream laced with gold. SSkin is set aglow with rose cream laced with gold, and lips are finished with semi-matte amber red.  The finished look is haute couture, dramatic and opulent.  Staring Italian beauty Mariacarla Boscono, the campaign was designed and photographed by NARS Founder and Creative Director François Nars.

M.A.C. Collection: Fall Color Collection

[twitter-follow screen_name=’NoireTropicalB’]

This collection came out in North America on September 29 and will appear internationally in October (although it is out in some international locations).  This is a massive collection with a lot of items that are already in the permanent collection or have be released previously.  I love new items but it’s great getting new ideas for old items.  Some items are permanent at the PRO store, but  you don’t have to have to be a M.A.C. PRO to order.  You can visit to PRO Store or call their 800 number.

M.A.C. and DC Comics come the to rescue!

Bloggers and M.A.C. addicts alike have been buzzing over the next major collection being released by M.A.C. They have paired up with DC Comics in a tribute to the first female superhero, Wonder Woman.

The Wonder Woman collection comes in special packaging and is of course limited edition.  The collection debuts in stores on February 10 in North America, online about February 8th, and internationally in March.  This is a massive collection and includes makeup bags, mirrors, LE brushes and I have even heard of a t-shirt (which would be super cool to get!!).  One thing to note:  The prices of these products are slightly elevated and probably is due to paying for the licensing of the Wonder Woman character.   Many M.A.C. stores are having unveiling parties next week, so check your local store to get on the list.  Some colours are part of the permanent collection, so you can save some money if you don’t care for the packaging.

As a kid, I was a fan of the comic books and the TV series featuring Lynda Carter.  Most of the chatter surrounds the packaging, some folks love, some folks don’t.  I have to wait to see what it looks like in person.  All information and photos courtesy of Specktra.
