Miss Professional Nail: Sation Candylandia

Second post of the day? Why, yes! I couldn’t wait until tomorrow to share this because:

I am beyond impatient.
You all know I love me some yummy Sation polishes.
CANDYLANDDDDDDDDDD!

SATION SWEETENS THE NEW YEAR WITH CANDYLANDIA

Miss Professional Nail (Miss) has announced the launch of “Candylandia,” their Limited V nail lacquer collection. The flavored, fantasy-themed line presents 12 candy-coated colors with a mouth-watering range of confectionary names. Candylandia was inspired by the edible escapism of Hasbro’s Candy Land board game, a classic favorite spanning six decades. Miss loved the bright, playful visuals of the swirly rainbow board, which sparked the creation of its own irresistibly sweet polish palette. This whimsical collection offers winning colors that will stir up memories of childhood imagination and endless game-playing.

Embark on a magical, manicured journey filled with fun characters and luscious lacquers. Sweeten up your new year when Candylandia hits the shelves this January.

Polish players, take your places at the Sation starting line!

China Glaze Tranzitions Color Changing Collection

Posted on 20 December, 201226 December, 2012 by Cynthia

While some of you may have already seen swatches of this collection floating around, here is the official release information for the interesting China Glaze Tranzitions Color Changing Collection:

China Glaze® Introduces Tranzitions Color Changing Collection

Los Angeles, CA – (December 2012): There’s nail art and then there’s China Glaze® nail couture. Reverse French manicure, half moons, ombre, basket weave, dots or racing stripes: nail designs are intricate and multi-colored. China Glaze® introduces a new way to get multi-color, unique nail art with fewer bottles of polish with the new color-changing Tranzitions collection!

China Glaze Tranzitions’ revolutionary new nail lacquer reacts when a clear top coat is applied, changing the color from one shade to another for a stunning effect. Wear any of the six beautiful, color-shifting shades alone, or allow your creativity to run wild and create intricate nail designs by applying a top coat in specific places. Try different looks using nail art brushes, free-hand designs or nail guides. Because each shade changes color, you get two lacquers in one, creating an entirely new look with just one swipe.

The China Glaze Tranzitions collection features six shades, though with the color transition, you get 12 unique shades including:

Split Perso-NAIL-ity – Dusty pink shifts to fuchsia
Duplicityy – Mint green shifts to vibrant teal
Modify Me – Periwinkle blue shifts to indigo blue
Altered Reality – Teal blue shifts to turquoise
Metallic Metamorphosis – Silvery grey shifts to bluish-charcoal grey
Shape Shifter – Smokey violet shifts to dark purple

How It Works:

Step 1: Apply a base coat.

Step 2: Apply two coats of China Glaze® Tranzitions shade of choice. Allow to completely dry.

Step 3: Lastly, apply one coat of clear top coat such as China Glaze® Fast Forward and watch the color change right before your eyes.

For more nail design ideas, click here to view the China Glaze® Tranzitions video.

The China Glaze® Tranzitions collection will be available in January 2013 at fine salons and beauty supply stores nationwide.

China Glaze is free of DBP, toluene, and added formaldehyde, and is never tested on animals.

China Glaze nail lacquers are available through salons and professional beauty supply stores nationwide. For more information, please visit www.chinaglaze.com or follow China Glaze on Facebook (@ChinaGlazeOfficial), Twitter (@ChinaGlaze) and Pinterest (pinterest.com/chinaglaze).

Preview: Jessica Cosmetics Glamarama Holiday Collection 2012

Posted on 6 November, 2012 by Cynthia

You all know how much I love Jessica Cosmetics nail polishes. I mean, really love. When I got these promo pictures, I literally jumped right on here to share them with you. I had seen some images floating around and I was really interested in seeing more pictures. Check them out:

It looks that this 6 piece collection has 4 reds in it. 4!!!!! I am a fan of red polish, but I wonder if these will all be different enough for me. Still, I can’t wait to see these in person. It seems that the majority of brands have put out their holiday collections already so let’s get the ball rolling on these.

What are some of your favorite holiday polish colors?

Miss Professional Nail Sation Holiday Golightly Collection 2012

Posted on 31 October, 201231 October, 2012 by Cynthia

Hello ladies and gents. You might have seen this information already, but I wanted to share with you the Holiday Golightly collection from Miss!

Happy “Holiday Golightly” from Miss!

Holidays are a time for all things fabulous: parties, presents, and polish! Miss Professional Nail
(Miss) is ringing in the season with “Holiday Golightly,” a shimmering new collection of nail
lacquers. These six sparklers are a great idea for fun stocking stuffers and to accessorize your
New Year’s Eve look!

Miss’ Creative Director Staci Dao wanted to celebrate the joy of gift-giving (and receiving!) by
reminding us to pamper ourselves and our loved ones this season. Silver screen icon Audrey
Hepburn captured our hearts playing free-spirited fashionista Holly Golightly, whose love of
shiny gems helped inspire Miss in creating this wish list of winter stunners.
From the timeless, Tiffany-inspired blue to unique reds and greens, these luxe shades will light
up your holiday season: “Under the Miss-letoe,” a pearlescent pine green; “Feliz Navi-doll,” an
icy crystalline grayish-white; “I Love Yule,” a velvety poinsettia red; “Let’s Mingle & Jingle,” a
silver-spangled sapphire blue; “Holiday Golightly,” a glistening Robin’s egg blue, and “Stop
Scrooging Around,” a gold-sparkled ruby wine. ‘Tis the season to channel our inner Holly
Golightly and embrace the Miss mantra that “It’s the little pleasures that count…”

If you don’t the find the Holiday Collection under your tree, it will also be available online and
in beauty supplies in late October.

All Miss products are free of DBP, toluene and formaldehyde.

Miss is an MBE (Minority Business Enterprise) certified company.

As you already know from my frequent posts and general declarations of love towards the Sation line, I can’t wait to get my hands on these. I am a huge Audrey Hepburn fan, and Breakfast At Tiffany’s has been one of my favorite movies for as long as I can remember. Ahhh…the stalking for these polishes begins!

Miss Professional Nail Sation Line For Fall 2012

Posted on 6 July, 2012 by Cynthia

“To kick off the holiday, Miss is honoring the Wild Wild West Coast by launching its first Fall Collection soon, Little Horse on the Prairie!

America is known for pioneering many great hallmarks: Freedom! Independence! Liberty! As well as countless inventions, such as Covered Wagons and Iphones. Although wagons aren’t for everyone; iphones, horses & gorgeous nails are still in high demand! Dream along with us as we whisk you away to the scenic views that our ancestors have fought for; open prairies & big blue skies! Miss elevates the celebration with an awesome indie music video of sizzling red hot & cool blue nails to die for!”

You all know how I love fall nail polish collections. I think I have said that a million times before, but if you didn’t know, then listen up my dear polish fiends. It should come as no surprise to you that I can’t wait to get my hands on this collection from Miss Professional Nail:

I am really drooling over these especially Weed Out The Wimps. Oh man, I want these pretty bad.

Here are some interesting promo pics for the upcoming Little Horse On The Prairie Collection. Is it just me or do these images have a soft-core porn look to them? They are pretty images: beautiful model, beautiful scenery and an angelic looking horse…but why does the model look like she is having an orgasm? I mean, maybe that’s what would happen to me if I found the China Glaze OMG collection at one of my dusties so I guess I shouldn’t judge.

Here is a behind the scenes type video about this collection.

Am I the only one that almost wanted to cry when I saw all that wasted polish dripping on the rocks and tree stumps? If you’re interested in getting any of these colors, the collection will be released in August.

Which is your favorite season for nail polish? Have you tried any Sation polishes yet? If you say no, I’m coming after you.
