So, after weeks and weeks of my daughter asking me to get her the Sally Hensen’s Salon Effects, she took it upon herself to purchase her own…such an impatient kid.   The process was fairly simple, pick a size for your nail, apply, hold firmly in place for a few seconds, cut and shape.  She chose the Collide-o-Scope design and the entire process took about 20 minutes and lasted about one week.  I actually think it would’ve lasted longer, but my daughter likes to pick at her nails…
 

 
Now I must say, …

Get ready to play the music and light the lights.  This November the Muppetts are set to hit the big screen in Disney’s The Muppetts with an all-star cast.  To celebrate, OPI has teamed up with the Muppets for a Holiday Collection filled with shimmer and glitter…

According to OPI’s Suzi Weiss-Fischmann:

 “Not only do The Muppets characters inspire fun, bright and joyful colors, the fashionable Miss Piggy lends her name to three high-shine pink-based hues, ranging from bold red flecked with silver to a multi-dimensional strawberry shade.”

Available November 2011 for $8.50.

Well Miss Kim is finally a Mrs.  I must say, her makeup and overall look for the big day was pleasantly soft and pretty.  Makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic and hairstylist Peter Savic share the details…

They’re at it again.  The Kardashian sisters have collaborated with OPI to release a line a polishes for their Nicole line.  Khloe recently blogged about the collabo:

 
“Hi dolls! Just wanted to give you a little sneak peek at the Nicole by OPI Kardashian collection, which we’ve titled Kardashian Kolors.

The beauty mecca will be adding nail studios this month in select stores.  Nail technicians will be on hand to offer nail services using an array of brands like Nars, OPI and Dior…
 

 
The studios will be in select California and NYC locations with the first two opening on July 25th at NYC’s Times Square location and San Francisco’s Powell Street store.

The stars were out in NYC last night for the biggest night in fashion.  Of course, there were several looks, some good and some not so good.  Of all the fashions my favorite was definitely Jennifer Lopez.  She hit the red carpet in a gorgeous flowy fuchsia Gucci gown with bold shoulders adorned with flowers…
 

And let’s discuss the makeup.  Now normally I would say a bold lip, such as Jenny’s red lip, should be done with a simple, not so busy outfit.  But Jenny seems to pull it all off!
