NCLA Call Me For the After Party

I can't believe it's already less than a week until Christmas! I love this time of the year. Everything's so festive, I'm off from work, and it's just the most happy and relaxing time of the year. :-)

Today, I have the other of my picks from NCLA's Fall/Winter 2012 Collection to share with you. Call Me For the After Party is an icy denim blue with lots of blue and silver shimmers in a metallic finish.

This is a beautiful blue that really stands out on the nails. It has a great formula, applying in smooth and even coats with no clumping or dragging. For a metallic, brush strokes are at a minimum. And I need just the standard two coats for opaque coverage. I'm also a big fan of the NCLA brushes. I feel they have great width and flexibility. The bristles fan out nicely when you press down, so it's easy to get clean polish lines along the cuticles.

You can find Call Me For the After Party on shopncla.com and select retailers such as Kitson, Fred Segal and Harvey Nichols for $16 for 0.5 fl oz.

NCLA Without Me, There Is No VIP!

Hi, you guys! Hope you had a relaxing weekend while enjoying the holiday season. :-)

Today, I have one of my picks from NCLA's Fall/Winter 2012 Collection to share with you. Without Me, There Is No VIP! is a rich burgundy with lots of shimmers and a smattering of small multi-colored glitters, all in a metallic finish.

This polish is super pretty and definitely wow-ed me on the nails. The rich wine color is on trend for this season and the dusting of glitters brings an unexpected sparkle to the polish. The formula is not too thick, not too thin, and covers the nails in two smooth and even coats. Once it dries on the nails. the little glitter pieces do add some unevenness to the finish, but it is not as noticeable in person. If you prefer an even and shiny finish, some top coat should do the trick.
