Half-Moon, Full Chic! Executing the Newest Nail Trend at Home

May 18, 2012


What do you think of when you first hear “Half Moon”? – No, it’s not the newest addition to Stephanie Myers Twilight Saga! It’s actually a manicure trend that’s been taking off with top celebs for awhile now. If you’re fearless with your fingertips than you’ll most likely warm up to this trend rather quickly. If you (like me) like to stay a little more traditional, (think french manicure) than you may need to ease into this a little at a time. Whichever you prefer, have no fear! There is a half-moon combo that will fit your liking. (more…)

OPI’s Halloween-inspired Nail Polishes (we’re just oozing over!)

May 1, 2012

We all love OPI’s seasonal collections, so here at CK we were super excited to hear about their 2011 Halloween collections, Spookettes and Pair ‘Em, Scare ‘Em.

The Spookettes collection includes four mini nail polishes in classic Halloween colors as well as a set of nail decals. A pumpkin-inspired orange titled He’s My Boo, a ghostly white called Mummy Knows Best, a classic black titled I Only Date Werewolves, and a special glow-in-the-dark green called Zom-Body to Love.

Pair ‘Em, Scare ‘Em includes just two shades, but the bottles are full-sized. The first is the glowing green Zom-Body to Love again, and the second is a classic black shatter polish. If you’re looking for polish you can wear more than a few days a year, this set is your better bet. But if you’re a girl who likes to go all-out with holiday festivity, you’ll love the Spookettes set!

Would you girls wear these Halloween-inspired hues? Have any great Halloween nail art ideas to share? Let us know in the comments section below!

New Kardashian Kolors We Just Love

May 1, 2012

Celebrities are always looking to take their never-ending talents and try their hand at the beauty market. There are so many ranges that are done by countless celebrities, it’s hard to pick your favourite! From perfume to makeup and of course, NAIL POLISH!

The Kardashian’s have created a fantastic range of nail polishes in collaboration with OPI to expand their incredible empire. Not only have they got their own Kardashian Kollection  clothing range and their fragrance Gold, they have decided to add a new collection to their brand through Nicole by OPI.

Disco nails are all the rage this season. You can rock gold, silver or multi but it just gives you that rock and roll edge while still looking super glam! The glittery polishes seem a little over the top, but once you try them out, you’ll realize you can dress them up or down with your daily wardrobe. Even more, you can layer the glitter shades over the matte shades and create your own Kardashian inspired nails.

Our favorites?  The blue hues: ‘Listen To Your Momager’ and ‘Kendall On The Katwalk’. These two are especially on trend as deep navy was all over the catwalks this season.

With the broad selection of bold colors, you can play around with some of the hottest nail trends we’re seeing all over the magazines. We are loving the colors chosen by the beautiful and very talented Kardashian’s, from the safe to the superb, there is a color for every occasion!
