An Anesthesiologist's Solution To Bikini Waxing Pain

Who dreads a bikini wax?  Maybe I should ask who doesn't dread a bikini wax!  I'm a true believer that if it's done correctly by a seasoned pro, the pain is definitely minimized and it's not as bad of an experience as it's feared to be.  But it still hurts!  I've had my share of ...

First look: Once Upon a Time Collection, ORLY Fall 2009

by Amber on July 29, 2009

in nail polish,new products

Wow!  Quite a change from what we’ve had to choose from for the past few months, dontcha think?  This is ORLY’s new lineup for Fall, the Once Upon a Time collection.  I can tell you right now with the way the Fall and Winter trends are looking, this is right in line with the best of them.  The muted blue, grey, and brown shades look very dreamy and I have to say that the green cream looks like it could be a cousin to the new OPI Here Today… Aragon Tomorrow that some of us are already nuts for.  Green nails will be all around us it seems!  I haven’t seen the colors in person yet, hopefully soon!  Very fairytale inspired, I immediately think of my favorite childhood animated films.  September is going to rock!  Here’s the shade breakdown:

Happily Ever After — magenta shimmer
Pixie Dust — icy blue shimmer
Enchanted Forest — dark green cream
Mirror Mirror — grey cream
Poison Apple — burnt red cream
Prince Charming — brown/grey cream

Are there any of these you are yearning for yet?

Darn you Amber and your tempting nail polish posts! OK first, I am an absolute sucker for icy blue shimmers, and this one looks a lot like my ChG Purple Rain, which I loooove but can’t find in stores anymore. So hello, Orly! I must own.

Next, who cares about NARS Zulu when people keep releasing these other amazing dark greens? Again, I am so owning this when it comes out!

So thanks for making me spend more money! lol :)

R– Don’t shoot the messenger! *hee hee* Yeah, NARS Zulu is fab and all that, but tracking it down and paying the price? Nope! They always have Orly at my Sally Beauty Supply so keep your eyes peeled there! But the displays sell out so fast, it’s okay though. I know you’re all over it! ;)
