<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">When I first started doing nails, Creative Nail Design was the <b style="font-style: italic;">only </b>brand any self-respecting technician would use. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">That was a long time ago. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I started to lose interest when they discontinued their Pro-Heat topcoat and then I was done when they discontinued their complete nail polish range in favour of a concept they called 50/15 (50 standard colours, 15 effects all mixed and matched to create any colour you could ever want). It was meant to revolutionise nail polish colour collections forever. For most techs working day to day in a salon environment, it was a fail. Luckily for CND, Shellac launched not long after and brought them a whole new customer base. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Now this is their newest innovation - a 'weekly' polish with technology that apparently doesn't need a base coat. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">With 62 initial colours and a topcoat, this is the product range that will hopefully replace the 50/15 polishes and reach out to customers that have (wisely) steered clear of gel polishes. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Fingers crossed they revive a few of the old faithful shades. There has been no better summer red on the planet than CND 'burn'... </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Dope shoe and bag creator, Pierre Hardy is teaming up with Nars cosmetics to collaborate on a range of blushes and nail polishes. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Might have to go with the whole collection as he's managed to get almost all of my fav's in there. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Not sure on release date... can't be far off. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">There's just no stopping the creative heads in varnish labs around the globe. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The beauty nerds at YSL have come up with what they are calling 'tie-dye' top coats, and there's a few different ways you can use them - just dip the brush into the top third of the bottle for a clear coat, go deeper for a water-marked version of the middle colour or dip right to the bottom to get the glitter - or shake the bottle to get a mix of all three. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Cool, Pop, Hip and Ice. Take your pick.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Well, this is turnaround...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Ciate's latest venture beyond the 'caviar' nail trend they exploded everyones' minds with early last year, is their new 'chalkboard' nails kit. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Just as gimmicky as the Caviar Manicure (trademark!) </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: large;">albeit, not as dangerous (try wearing it for a few days and then walk around your floorboarded house in some heels...), </span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I could probably have a little go of this kit. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This actually looks super cute, and the creative spirit behind developing this concept and the actual products is very cool. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">butter LONDON has launched their polish ode to Kate Middleton's impending 'arrival'. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I'm loving all these rich, jewel tones for our Southern Hemisphere winter. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8-QVY2YBOIA/URJBEUlSPBI/AAAAAAAACDQ/WQ1hdIpGNNg/s1600/IMG_0559.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-8-QVY2YBOIA/URJBEUlSPBI/AAAAAAAACDQ/WQ1hdIpGNNg/s640/IMG_0559.PNG" width="360" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Some months back, hysteria erupted when mainstream media reported that spraytans cause cancer (that doesn't sound definitive or simplistic at all, does it??). </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">They made this 'qualified' jump in conclusion when information recently came to light that 30 years ago, the Food and Drug Administration (A U.S. government body) had approved DHA (di hydroxyacetone - the ingredient in tanning products that makes your skin brown (or orange, depending on your spraytan purveyor of choice...)) for topical use <i>in lotions only. </i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The reports carried on to say that since the invent of liquid tanning solutions, clinical tests had been done on inhaling DHA from off-spray of the solutions and the results returned with a somewhat dubious outcome. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Statements from clinical findings claiming, 'DHA may show to cause some cell mutation', were quickly mutated themselves by media into 'spraytans cause cancer'. Hence, the FDA's current stance on having only approved the chemical in a form that cannot be inhaled or ingested in anyway. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Enter the CTPA (The Cosmetic, Toiletry and Perfumery Association - a European standards group). They've come out in defence of tanning solutions and the whole spraytanning industry in announcing that DHA in a liquid and mist form has, indeed, been approved, causes no plausible health risks - and then goes on to shoot giant holes in the whole FDA-quoting cancer-scare reporting bonanza (take that, 'The Sun' newspaper...) making some really, really sensible and factual (how novel!) points, leading all tanning professionals to breathe a big (DHA-filled - just kidding...) sigh of relief. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.examiner.com/article/ctpa-says-spray-tans-are-safe">The Examiner</a> has the whole story and it's pretty great. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Check it out for yourself if you get regular (or sporadic) spray tans. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This is late, but what the hell. Nail news is nail news. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Nails Inc. came up with a black varnish that when dry looks alot like leather. Then they packaged it up with some little skull decals so all the tough luxe girls (and boys?) </span><span style="font-size: large;">would love it. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Then Alexa Chung wore it somewhere and it was reported on and then the world lost it's mind. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Sales for the polish went berserk and the waiting list for re-issue hit almost a thousand. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Just as a side-note, Illamasqua did a really similar black a couple of years ago as their first foray into their rubber finish collection. </span><span style="font-size: large;">It was pretty dope too. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">If you managed to get a bottle of this Nails Inc. little precious, you'd probably be feeling pretty good about yourself.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Well done.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">My brain is starting to hurt from just how many gimmicks can be packaged into one 15ml glass bottle. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Hoorah for the creative geniuses at Essie who've manage to</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">to get three into their latest magnetic collection, Repstyle. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Until very recently, Essie would not venture into the shimmer arena, but aren't they happy they did? The next progression is the magnetic formulation, and this latest manipulation of the magnet.... making the shavings move into a reptilian pattern. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Some people may tend to think getting a regular spray tan is an excessive way to spend cash. St Tropez has found a way to push that into a whole new arena - a tanning product containing real diamonds. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">By all accounts, this is an in-salon treatment and then you get a take-home bottle for a little top-up before you head out. If A$300 per treatment doesn't make a dint in your in your wallet, then you probably won't be feeling any kind of way when you get home a few hours later and wash all that diamond crush down the drain. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">For the truly opulent only. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">So... Fox News has a, ah, <i>particular</i> kind of reputation in the States and this report is no exception. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">Watch Dagan McDowell butcher the name of the company (say it with me - OH PEE EYE), then ask the C.E.O. of a company that has been the market leader for 31 years and was recently bought by cosmetic behemoth, Coty for close to 1 billion dollars, just how do they deal with the pressure of all the innovation and competition in the market place (the same company that invented most of that pressure), and then she hits him with the burning question of his own personal opinion about how he feels as a 'wealthy person', particularly in California with the impending tax hikes. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">George Schaeffer is truly a gracious man. Not sure why he agreed to go on Fox News, but the statistics in the report are nothing short of awe-inspiring, and further confirmation that the nail biz is the one to be in. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Proving it really is that hard to try, reigning queen of Idon'tgiveaflyingf-landia, really did, huh-hum, lie low (ha!) when the spray tech <i>insisted</i> on finishing the treatment. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">No pants on deck, Lundz? (I'm sure that isn't the first time she's heard that question... but I digress!).</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">And I thought she'd already shown us just about every tanning monstrosity possible. Well, that just serves me right, doesn't it. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">First of all you need to be a creative genius like Jane Schub.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Her cosmetic anomalies brand, <a href="http://www.strangebeautiful.biz/">strangebeautiful</a> is constantly turning the ordinary on it's head (click on the link - best website i've seen in a while...). Her inspiration for new concept products is always fresh to death. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Here we go this time with a capsule collection (get it??) called Dose Polishes. Tiny polish pigments for the die-hard beauty junkies that come in 'doses' of 3 pigments per package (6 packages in total), so you can get triple-y hooked on the ill-ness (so puntastic). </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Jane Schub has done it again. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">With 30 colours in the full range, it boasts some interesting ingredients to keep your nails healthy - especially the base and top coats. Maybe these are the subtle differences the name refers to, to set her products apart from the pack. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">New York Fashion Week was a few months ago, but I've just now perused all that was on offer in the accompanying world of nail styling.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">This was my favourite of all the showings. CND turned out these deceptively simple beauties for Rachel Anotnoff. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Looks like white varnish on a short manicured natural nail with a clear tip adhered over the manicure.</span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> Rachel then</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> had the CND team write the names of her closest loved ones on each individual nail. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Extremely cute. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">In the spirit of every dance battle reality talent tv show (and possibly the Melbourne Cup this week?? so weird...) OPI have produced a new commercial that is oddly captivating if (absolutely) nothing else. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Did someone in their creative marketing department eat too much cheese before bedtime?? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Regardless of the how bizarre this story is, the execution and quality of talent of all involved is actually flawless. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The part that took my breath away is after all the horsing around, when OPI signs off by showing you almost every colour conceived in the known universe that they have at one time or another put in a 15ml bottle. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I knew they'd done alot of colours, but my gosh... </span><br />
