Perfect Pairs: Statement Rings and Nail Polish


Essie “Good As Gold” and Elizabeth and James Bird Claw Ring: This color has been my STAPLE nail color for the last few months, I’m obsessed.  I love the way it’s really more of a subtle gold and looks great with any other metallics, including this amazing sterling silver claw ring, designed by MK and Ash themselves.

Julep “Robin” and Kelly Wearstler Gold Horn Ring: We all know that I love a good double finger ring!  Mixing gold and robin’s egg blue (e.g. Tiffany blue) is a really pretty and girly combo that I adore.  I feel instantly more glam when I do this combo.

OPI “Plugged-In Plum” and Forever21 Turquoise Cutout Ring: This ring looks pricey, but it’s totally a Forever21 find!  I like mixing the turquoise shade witha  deep purple, which most people wouldn’t normally think to do, but I adore.

NARS “Dovima” and Forever21 Rhinestone Cheetah Ring: There’s nothing more classic than mixing a leopard print with red, right?  It’s pretty much my favorite combo and this ring quenches my thirst for the insanely expensive Cartier version, that I can’t afford.  Sigh.

Olympic Beauty

Butter London The Heavy Medal Collection: It’s pretty much the winner’s circle…and I love it.  Gold, Silver and Bronze your nails up while the games are on.

Sephora by OPI “USA! USA!” Jewelry Top Coat: Red, white and blue…in a bottle.  All at once.  I also love the name that makes you just want to CHANT.

Stila “Lovely In London” Travel Palette: Though it’s not technically made for the Olympics, I’m loving the London theme of this palette and it contains everything you need (makeup-wise) while going to the games.

COVERGIRL 2012 London Olympic Games Collection: This limited-edition collection boasts the trademark Olympic rings, along with the P&G logo, and is available at mass retailers nationwide.

AND, for Olympic ring-inspired nails, Fashionista has a good how-to HERE.

Kardashian Kolors for OPI

The Kardasians have their hands in, ugh, everything these days.  As annoying as I find this fact, I have to admit how much I love their OPI Kardashian Kolors Collection.  Yeah, the colors are fab but what I love even more than the colors are how absolutely cute the names are. My faves?  Follow Me on Glitter and Khloe Had a Little Lam-Lam.

Top row (left to right): All Kendall-ed Up, Sealed with a Kris, Kim-pletely in Love, Khloe Had a Little Lam-Lam, Kourt is Red-y for a Pedi, Rainbow in the S-kylie

Bottom row (left to right): Disco Dolls, Listen to Your Momager!, Wear Something Spar-kylie, It’s All About the Glam, Follow Me on Glitter, Kedall on the Katwalk, My Empire…My Rules

OPI Touring America Collection

So in the  summer of 2009 I took my very first cross country road trip as I drove from New York to Los Angeles.  I recently got a pitch with OPI’s newest nail polish line, OPI Touring America Collection, and I was instantly taken back to my amazing journey.  The collection is inspired by Americana and cities with rich cultural heritage.  Cities such as Baltimore, Hollywood, Jackson Hole, New Orleans, New York City and Philly are represented in the polish and my favorites (Left to right): Are We There Yet, French Quarter For Your Thoughts, Get In The Expresso Lane, My Address is Hollywood (obvi).

The collection isn’t available until August 3rd but definitely save-the-date.

OBSESSED: OPI “A good man-darin is hard to find”

So I recently tried out some of the amazing shades from OPI’s Hong Kong collection and I am obsessed.  I don’t know why but whenever I wear any kind of coraly/orange shade on my nails, I get tons of compliments!  I’ve been using a few different corals but this one definitely takes the cake and, I especially love the name – “a good MAN-darin is hard to find.”   Adorbale.  The whole collection is absolutely gorgeous but I seriously can’t stop staring at my nails right now so I’ve gotta stop typing.

Check out Temptalia.com for full, amazing swatches of the Hong Kong collection…Christine is brilliant.
