Wild at Heart Collection
Wild at Heart Collection

When Fall rolls around, my wardrobe, my makeup and yes, my nail polish goes darker. I always feel I “need” the new cool Fall color. This year, it’s dark green and deep purple (at least that’s what the magazines will tell ya)!

Color Club, a quality salon nail company, will be soon releasing their Fall line, Wild at Heart. This is a collection of six sparkly, mostly deep colors and one quick-dry top coat. The colors are:

Love Em Leave Em — Shimmery, cool beige with lots of sparkle

Wild and Willing — Sheer, sparkly bronze

On the Wild Side — Molton steel gray

Rule Breaker — Frosty, deep green

Wild at Heart — Dark purple with multi-colored sparkles

With Abandon — Black with bronze sparkles

This is a beautiful fall collection. My favorite colors are Rule Breaker, because I get tons of compliments when I wear such an unusual color, and With Abandon because the black and bronze mix for the allusion of dark brown. It’s a very cool color! Also, Love Em and Leave Em is a pretty soft beige that will look great on everyone.

Color Club’s 0-60 Speedy Top Coat is still a bit tacky after 60 seconds, so I wait a few minutes after application to use my hands. It works pretty well though.

Color Club has also released thier new mini holiday collections:

Halloween 2009 Master of Disguise Collection — a white creme, a black creme, an orange glitter, and a purple with pink and blue shimmer.

Dark Romance Matte Collection — a black matte creme, a white matte creme, a silver matte shimmer, and a matte top coat

Holiday 2009 Wonderland —  a white glitter, red glitter, and subtle green glitter and a top coat.

Be on the lookout for these great collections. They should be for sale soon! Check out www.cosmeticgroup.com for their past collections.

Spa Products from Creative Nail Design Will Pamper Your Hands!

It is so nice to pamper your hands after a long, cold winter. Mine were a little dry and rough. Luckily I was able to try some of Creative Nail Design’s Almond Spamanicure products.   

I did a little home spa by using four products from the line. I started with the Almond Milk Bath. This is an oil that I heated up, rubbed on my hands (especially my cuticles), then after about 5 minutes I added a little water and it foamed up. I then rinsed my hands and scrubbed with the Almond Moisture Scrub, which contains fine mineral salts, refined sugar, jojoba soft beads and sweet almond oil.  After rinsing of the scrub I applied the Almond Illuminating Masque and left that on for 5 minutes. This is a rich, pearly cream that is a blend of  sweet almond oil, jojoba oil and vitamin E. My last step, after rinsing the mask, was applying the Almond Hydrating Lotion.

The almond scent of these products is so wonderful! It’s very soothing and lends itself greatly to a spa experience. And my hands were so smooth! I bet my feet would benefit from something like this as well!
