Impala Nail Color is a Brazilian brand that recently launched in the US! Yay for news brands for us!

Their polishes are 3-free and many of them are also hypoallergenic. They have a pretty wide variety of shades and finishes as well.

There are two things to note with this polish. One is that yes, the bottles are shaped a little different from most in the US. I don’t love the shape but it didn’t have any negative effect in the application. I actually found the pointed tip easy to hold and manage. The one issue I had was the wand tends to get super flooded, so I had to wipe it and the brush off quite a lot before I applied the polish.

China Glaze Cirque du Soleil Worlds Away collection is limited edition and was inspired by the Cirque du Soleil film which is coming to theaters December 21st.

I am lucky enough to have seen a couple Cirque shows in person. The first time was in 1994 and it was called Alegria. The company I worked for took us for the holiday party. It was held in a tent and it was the first time I had ever heard of this show. I was amazed! Then a couple years ago I saw “O” at Bellagio in Vegas and that was 10 times more amazing than the first time. I highly recommend seeing a show in person.
