The Misa I Do Collection is new this spring and perfect for the upcoming busy wedding season!

This collection features six new shades, mostly sheer, soft, yet buildable at the same time. It might not be the most electric, exciting collection of colors on earth, but they are all really pretty nonetheless.

The formula was mostly really thick yet not hard to work with. Most were three coats.

Finally we have reached the third and final of the Deborah Lippmann True Blood nail lacquer sets. This one is called Bad Things Mini Nail Lacquer Trio and it comes with, you guessed it, three mini nail colors.

The colors in this set are pretty spot on. I could definitely see them in the show in various ways. Obviously New Flesh reminds me of a vamp chomping down on “fresh meat”. Strange Love reminds me of a shade either Sookie would wear OR possibly even Pam (my fav character). And of course Bad Blood is a deep red bloody shade.

The Megan Miller Collection of nail polishes was started with a vision of “rustic, natural elegance”. Each polish comes in a custom designed round bottle with an eco-friendly cork top. Each bottle is tied with a natural Raffia ribbon as well, making them super cute and unique compared to any other brand out there.

Megan Miller is a cruelty free brand, made in the USA, and big-three free as well.

There are currently just ten shades offered but they come in creme, shimmery and sheer finishes.

New York City Ballet by OPI is a new spring collection featuring five new SoftShades and a sparkly glitter.

What goes better than ballet and these sheer soft colors? Pretty much nothing. When I think of the ballet these are the exact colors I think of. Tutus, ballet slippers, lace, satiny costumes…

They are soft and sheer, and I know a lot of people, usually including myself, don’t love sheers. But these really appealed to me when I saw promo pics for whatever reason.

Because these are all sheers they were prone to some unevenness, which I didn’t love. But they were super shiny and flattering nonetheless. Perfect for days when you need a clean nice look without loads of obviousness.

I used three thin coats for all the colors, and for Pirouette My Whistle (the silver glitter) I used just one coat.

Don’t Touch My Tutu is a sheer white.

RBG Cosmetics and LA boutique TENOVERSIX have partnered together this spring for a limited edition nail color inspired by something very LA. The blonde bombshell. The color is called Blonde on Blonde and is named after a famous Bob Dylan album.

Both of the founders of TENOVERSIX are blondes and they wanted to create a color that matched their hair color. I can totally relate to all this blonde stuff because I was born a pale blonde and have pretty much been every single shade of blonde known to mankind. It’s the shade I always return to and looks the best on me.
