This summer NARS and Thakoon have you covered with six new limited edition bright creme nail polishes.

Thakoon Panichugal (fashion designer who frequently partners with Francois Nars at New York Fashion Week) came up with the color inspiration by seeing all the colors in Indian spice markets.

Kutki

Kutki is a light pastel sky blue. Not chalky though and not overly whitened. It was a little bit uneven in the application, but after three coats covered pretty nicely.

Happy last day of the work-week!

How did your week end up going? Mine was decent, after a horrific Monday where everything that could go wrong, did. It kind of flew by after that actually.

If you know me at all and have been reading my blog for awhile you know I am a HUGE Tim Burton fan. Love, love, love, love him. Want to live inside his movies. When I heard a year or so ago that he was making Dark Shadows (a 70′s TV series) into a movie with Johnny Depp (of course) I must admit I was super excited.

When I finally started seeing previews recently at first I thought it looked REALLY overly campy and lame. But I have totally changed my tune because I love the entire cast (Johnny Depp, Eva Green, Helena Bonham Carter, Michelle Pfeiffer) and the makeup and costumes look totally fabulous.

Then I heard NYX was coming out with The Crimson Amulet Collection, which is a giant makeup palette inspired by the movie. I knew I needed to see this sucker in person!

This palette features 24 eyeshadows both shimmery and matte, 4 blushes, 1 bronzer, an illuminator, an eyeshadow base, a liquid eyeliner and four lipglosses. The colors run the gamut from jewel-toned to subtle and natural.
