[twitter-follow screen_name=’NoireTropicalB’]

Yes, so today is my birthday!!

I always love wearing purples so I chose some of my recent acquisitions.  Gold works really well with purple so here’s the royal manicure!

  • Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Nail Lacquer in Cruising – a semi-matte pale gold
  • Zoya Petra – on ring only, a midtone smokey purple cream with OPI Mad As A Hatter – multicoloured glitter in a clear grey base
  • Pedi – Zoya Neeka -darkened smokey purple with silver microshimmer

Laters! 🙂

Mad As A Hatter - Alice In Wonderland

Here is one of the most coveted nail colours of the year:  A sparkly blackened grey polish as the base with medium-sized, multi coloured glitter.  What I really love about this polish is that the glitter is not chunky so it’s festive and adult at the same time.  Works well alone with 2-3 coats for full coverage but also looks amazing over black, grey and even white polish.   It probably contains every colour of glitter – red, orange, teal, purple, silver – so you have lots of layering options.

This polish is sold out in most places, but you could still probably find it on eBay and a few other beauty sites.

Alice in Wonderland – A classic comes to life!!!

I have been anxiously awaiting the new movie from Tim Burton, Alice in Wonderland!! It stars the absolutely fabulous and talented Johnny Depp.  I honestly think that he is underrated – and hot as hell!!!!!

OPI has collaborated with Disney to bring out a special edition collection, 2 glitters, 1 shimmer and 1 creme.  All Lacquered Up has great swatches (she seriously consistently has the best swatches on the web, and I’m jealous of her nails!)  I have my eye on the confetti-inspired, Mad As A Hatter.  This collection is available from January 2010.

Urban Decay also brought out a very limited edition of their every popular Book of Shadows.  It was available yesterday online only, but is due to be rereleased at Sephora at a later date.  When I find that out, I’ll let you know…
