I am in love with this shade ladies and you will be as well because the shade is gorgeous!
The color is very bold and looks so glamorous it’s a great color to rock now and a must for the summer.
Five days in and no chipping this is a key reason why I love Orly lacquers because it lasts a long time. Although many of you have requested I try other brands and we have seen the ending results to most of them (CHIPPING IN 1 DAY) I am back to my “IT” brand so expect to see more reviews on the new upcoming shades.

The Power Of Color
$79.00
This upcoming season expect to see a lot of teals on the feet of fabulous ladies. It’s a fun color and looks glamorous with colors like white, gold and nude.
$89.00
Brown looks are most popular for the summer season and it’s because it looks great with vibrant colors and simple styles. This caged theme is a great color and style to have for a simple and dressy look!
$98.00
This time around a nude pump is so simple but one with a mix of shades is the top of a fashion statement. The bonus key being you can rock so many styles with a mix of colors. The shoes complements so many shades that it’s too many to mention.
$89.00
This style is great for those long maxi dresses and if you have some with great patterns and bold designs step it up with a bold statement shoe like this bright yellow.



François Nars Personal Appearance At Sephora
In NYC FEBRUARY 23, 2011 - Makeup artist, visionary, and founder of NARS Cosmetics, François Nars, celebrated spring beauty today with a personal appearance at Sephora’s 5th Avenue location.
Sephora’s Spring 2011 catalog was photographed by François and showcases spring’s biggest beauty trends. Sephora dedicated their spring windows to displaying the looks that he photographed. To commemorate the looks, NARS created three limited-edition sets available exclusively for Sephora. Over 200 beauty addicts had the opportunity to meet François Nars and preview fashion forward looks, seen only at Sephora, where he signed the exclusive kits.
Boasting limited-edition products in each set, the highlights include the NARS Fashion Icon Set (a peachy pink collection); NARS Front Row Set (for a sophisticated, smoldering look); and NARS Fashion Forward Set (pairing spring’s purple eye with vibrant lips).
NARS makeup artists were also present for consultations and to recreate François’ signature looks on Sephora customers.
