Move over Blue Satin, I'm ready to rock Dior's Poison Blue ($19.00). Chanel's Blue Satin catches the light of camera flash well, because it manages to pick up on a touch of shimmer that you cannot see whatsoever in real life. Poison Blue is this gorgeous dark blue-black shade that adds drama to...
For Spring 2008, Zoya has two different collections, each with six shades, Blissful and Purity. Blissful is a beautiful collection of creamy pastels, while Purity is composed of sheerer pastels ideal for manicures (and I don't know if it's just me, but I have visions of bridal nails with these colors,...
Spring 2008 nail trends are obviously going sheer rather than bright pops of color (though not all brands are following this trend--China Glaze is most definitely not!). Essie gives nail polish fans six lovely sheers to choose from as spring arrives in beautiful hues of soft pastels. These...
Chanel's Aurora Blues spring 2008 collection is centered around shades of icy blues, including Blue Satin, which is a dark, rich navy blue that's nearly black with extremely subtle shimmer. It is already sold out at many online retailers (including Chanel's site), but it is available at department...
Gloves In a Bottle Shielding Lotion ($12.95)
Gloves In A Bottle is a shielding lotion -- it bonds with the outer layer of your skin and protects it from irritants while locking in your natural oils and moisture -- the reason why dermatologists recommend Gloves as an effective dry skin treatment.

Zoya's Akyra (from Utopia | Winter 2007/08) is a gorgeous muted teal color. I kind of wish for a brighter, bolder teal, but I think this one is excellent because it's very wearable. It also looks great with both cool and warm skintones from what I've found, which is a definite plus. It has great...
Zoya's Irene (from Utopia | Winter 2007/08) is a gorgeous gold-yellow-geren. It reminds me a bit of a more green Old Gold pigment by MAC, only in nail polish form. I love how opaque the color is after just two coats! It has the loveliest gold shimmer, and I never thought I'd be willing to wear a...
Zoya's Juno (from Utopia | Winter 2007/08) is such a gorgeous royal purple-violet shade. It's truly a standout color in its brightness, but the tone of it is absolutely divine. I love the subtle shimmer that really sets off the violet hue. Like the other Utopia polishes, this one has great consistency...
Zoya's Tama (from Utopia | Winter 2007/08) has to be my favorite out of the six new shades launched for their Utopia collection. It's such a beautiful magenta-purple color; bright and cheery, yet not blinding. I like the subtle shimmery and metallic-esque finish. I found it applied quite well and went...
Zoya's Kamilah (from Utopia | Winter 2007/08) is the most gorgeous cherry red, and I can't wait to sport this when Christmas comes closer. Don't get me wrong, it's an excelelnt red for any time, but I'm especially excited to wear it to get into the holiday spirit. I love the shimmer, and it applies so...
