NAIL WEEK!! Day 1: Rimmel's new Salon Pro by Kate Nail Polishes

Rimmel Salon Pro by Kate Nail Polishes $8.95 each available from www.priceline.com.au

Rimmel Salon Pro polishes are one of the best nail polish formulations on the market, high and budget beauty included. The brush is wide enough to cover nails with colour in 2 strokes, applying polish evenly without streaking. The finish is always opaque in 2 coats - no matter the colour and dry time is about 10mins touch dry 30mins bump dry. The colour selection is a standard mix of trend colours, nothing ground breaking in terms of chromes or texture but all the colours are pretty and very wearable.

The new range of colours for Summer 2014 (that is Summer in the UK, it is winter for Australians) is filled with great poppy feminine colours, here are my top 4 colour picks:

444: SEDUCE

Purple is having a big come back in the beauty world with many of the high-end spring/summer collections injecting purple into eye shadow palettes, liners and mascaras. I like to team my nail polish to my eye look and have been loving the smokey purple of Seduce. Purple was also Prince's signature colour and I am a massive Prince fangirl 'purple rain, purple rain'!

125: OH, MR DARCY

This is a beautiful fleshy nude, which is almost gel like in appearance on the nails, it is full coverage in 2 coats but keeps a translucent depth to the finish. Very posh and proper, I could see it on the nails of the Made in Chelsea cast especially that snooty Victoria.

264: TEMPTRESS

Ever since Lisa Eldridge wore a bright fuchsia nail with her green rings in a tutorial I have been obsessed with bold pink nails. They're more fun and girly than a standard red nail but give the same pop of bright colour to the nails, pink looks great on all skin tones and hair colours too.

115: HAPPILY EVER AFTER

Orange based reds have been HOT! on the nail-o-meter for the past 2 seasons, and they aren't slowing down. As it is winter in Oz I would stick to using Happily Ever After as for a pedicure colour but if you are in a warmer country then dare to wear this bright hot orange on your fingers and toes.

OPI Celebrates THE MUPPETS with a second limted edition collection of nail lacquers.

OPI Celebrates The Muppets, Limited Edition Colours $19.95each, 4 Colour Mini-Pack $24.95, Full-Size Duo Pack $24.95 available from www.davidjones.com.au for all other retail stockists please call 1800 812 663

With the success and frenzy of the first OPI and Muppets collaboration, I was not surprised that a second collection is being released with the sequel ' The Muppets Most Wanted' this April. The first collection created a glitter polish craze with the popularity of 'Rainbow Connection' it was insanely  popular and still sells on eBay for hugely inflated prices, so what is the new 'Rainbow Connection'? Nail trends have moved on since the first collection was released and the multi-coloured glitter trend being been done in every way possible, 2014 is all about the multi dimensional chrome which is on every nail trend hot list right now. 

The second Muppets collection gives 3 amazing duo shade chromes, 2 ladylike pastels and 3 glitter polishes, here are is a description of all the colours:

CHROMES:

Miss Piggy's Big Number - Midnight blue chrome

Kermit Me To Speak - Silver mauve duo chrome

Int'l Crime Caper - Opalescent pink based mother of pearl

GLITTERS:

Muppets World Tour - Silver and Pink small fine rounded glitter

Let's Do Anything We Want - Pink and Rose gold chunky glitter with White confetti

Gainging Mole-Mentum- Rose gold and pink chunky un-even glitter

PASTELS:

Chillin' like a Villan - Sheer apricot nude

I Love Applause - Sheer pink nude

I was most excited about 'Miss Piggy's Big Number' because of my obsession with navy blues, it didn't disappoint. It is the consistency of the chrome polish from the OPI x Gwen Stefani  collection only Navy Blue, within 2 coats it was opaque and it had the usual OPI dry time which is around 30mins. It is definitely an on trend nail colour for winter and the update to a flat navy I have been looking for.

Expect lots of #NOTD (nails of the day) posts on the @beautegazette instagram, so make sure you are following.

How amazing was Amy Adams in the first Muppets movie, I cannot wait to see Tina Fey do her thing in the sequel.

BTW I am constantly having a me party, it's the best way to be!
