It’s hump day peeps! Today I want to show you some seriously killer new polishes from LA Girl. These are from their Rock Star collection and there are 16 in total. I have the darkest, vampiest ones for you today in Part I of a three part series!

LA Girl is a cosmetics line that comes from the company Beauty 21 Cosmetics. They started in 1985 and carry a wide range of very affordable cosmetics from nail polish to eye liner to body glitter. They have been declared “Cruelty Free” by PETA as well, which means they do not test on animals, so yahoo!

The formula on all of these was really nice. Not too thick or runny and nice shaped brushes. I had no issues with any of these and I used three coats on all for maximum color payoff.

Essie has created a mini polish set exclusively for Nordstrom and fall 2009. There are four colors in this collection, which are all really nice, however I’m not sure anything is totally *original*.

Lemon Balm

Happy Monday! Dior came up with a cool new color exclusively for Nordstrom called Lemon Balm. I have no clue what the name has to do with the color since it’s not “lemony” at all, but it IS incredible either way and I totally heart it! Peep it out!

Morning peeps! NARS has a really fabulous fall 2009 collex coming out and it includes an absolutely stunning nail polish color called Tokaido Express.

I can honestly say I do not own a single other nail polish that looks like this one. They describe it as being a “black amethyst infused with gold” which is somewhat accurate from what I saw, but it’s so much more…Check it out!
