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.

Revlon has a new line of nail enamel out called Colorstay Longwear Nail Enamel and get this, they’re in different shaped bottles. Hooray!

There are a whole bunch of these, not sure how many. I am guessing between 20-30 new colors and I nabbed four that looked promising at my local Walgreens when they were buy one get one half off. They retail for $8.49 and are actually smaller bottles than the regular ones (0.4 oz compared to 0.5 oz) so getting them on sale is a good thing.

Supposedly if you use the corresponding base and top coats with this polish you get a gel-like finish and lasting power. I didn’t get the base and top coats though so cannot confirm that,

When the original Footloose movie came out, I was 11 years old. I saw it in theaters and LOVED IT. It’s one of those iconic movies for me that I still totally adore to this day, and always have to watch when I pass by it on TV. Kevin Bacon, Lori Singer, Chris Penn, John Lithgow, Sarah Jessica Parker and Dianne Wiest were irreplaceable in their parts. And still are as far as I’m concerned.

But there’s this pesky remake that just came out and I am not a fan. I am not a fan of 99.9% of any movie remakes from my childhood. However, I AM a huge fan of the Deborah Lippmann Footloose Collection on HSN!

This collection is sold in two sets, each with two colors, and exclusively on HSN.

Color Club has two new 7-piece collections out for summer and I’ve got Wicked Sweet covered today.

Wicked Sweet features 7 bright colors that are also scented once dry. I personally don’t really “get” the scented nail polish trend, it seems very gimmicky to me and I don’t really understand the point of it. I think it’s kinda cool that they really do smell like something, but I don’t have any need to smell my nails. The only one I even remembered to smell once it was dry was Get Your Lem-on, and it really did smell lemon-y, but not TOO much.

The formula was a little sheer for this collection for most of them. A few stayed see-through even after three coats.
