A collection for all seasons

Posted on July 20, 2011 by Erica

{Lovely, Glee, Tranquil, Bold and Nurture}

One of my favorite beauty items is nail polish. From bolds and brights to nudes, golds and everything in between my polish goes with my outfit or my mood. Dr.\’s Remedy recently released their summer collection called \”Hot Hot Hot Summer Shades\” Dr.\’s Remedy Enriched Nail Polish is free from harsh toxins to promote healthier, stronger nails and is the first ever nail polish on the market approved by the American Podiatric Medical Association. Another plus to Dr.\’s Remedy Enriched Nail Polish is that it is hypoallergenic!

{Lovely, Glee, Tranquil, Bold and Nurture}

{Lovely}

Lovely is a pale lilac shade that I am absolutely loving. I think that this hue is more of a spring shade, and definitely a must have color for attending a garden party!

{Glee}

Glee is a dusty shimmer gold and is a pretty color for summer. However I think Glee would be a must have shade for fall!

{Tranquil}

Tranquil is a shimmery tangerine hue that reminds me of the sun as it is setting over the water. I absolutely adore this shade and think it\’s perfect for a day spent beach side.

{Bold}

Bold is an ice blue shade with a splash of glitter. While I do feel like this color would look pretty against a blue ocean, lake or pool. I feel like this color would be perfect for winter. I have never really found an icy blue shade before that I absolutely loved for winter and this one is now my absolute favorite. You will definitely be seeing this on my nails come December.

{Nurture}

Nurture is of course my favorite color in the collection. It is a delicate nude pinky peach. If you love pink, peach or nude polishes I definitely think you need this color in your nail polish collection. This shade is feminine and would look lovely against any skin tone.

My overall thoughts
I feel if you look at this collection as a summer collection it fails. If you look at each individual polish it\’s amazing and is definitely a collection that would get you through all of the seasons with style and class.

Waterfalls, Chicken Wings, Lucille Ball and my disappointment with Louis Vuitton

Now to my disappointment!

On saturday I went to the mall, walked through Louis Vuitton and decided I just couldn\’t live without a bag……I decided on a Speedy.

The bag came like this! Completely smashed flat…. this really didn\’t thrill me. If I am spending $1,000 on a bag I do not want to receive it all smashed up.

This is what the bag should look like. I am not thrilled with the creases in it, and I also hate the fact that the smashing caused it to even peel!

That\’s when I read this \”made in U.S.A.\”…. yes I am from the USA and yes I do like to buy things that are made in the USA this is one thing I DO NOT want to be made in the USA. I want it to be made in Paris… as it is Louis Vuitton Paris. So I decided I would call corporate where I learned that if you buy a bag in the United States from a certified LV dealer the bag is real but it\’s not genuine. If you buy the bag say overseas it is made of leather, not smashed and made in Paris. Needless to say this bag is definitely being returned.

Have you ever been disappointed with something you bought?

Summer White

We have all heard of \”winter white\”, but have you heard of \”summer white\”? If you haven\’t get on board, because white is all the rage for summer. Celebrities have been spotted wearing white jeans, dresses, shoes and accessories. Even the Duchess of Cambridge has been spotted numerous times wearing elegant and gorgeous white outfits. I think white definitely shows off the feminine side. Pair your outfit with some nude polish and you are set to strut your stuff.
