Nail of the Day: OPI's Black Shatter

Released with Serena Williams and Katy Perry's OPI nai lpolish line, Black Shatter cracks upon drying giving your nails a bit of a punk-rock edge. To achieve this shattered look, application is easy. Just apply a coat of Black Shatter on top of the color of your choice (I chose a simple nude color) and wait until it dries. For just $8 a bottle, I am loving this look! If you are lucky enough to come across this nail polish, grab it!

Buzzworthy News: Justin Bieber for Nicole for OPI

It's a Bieber world. We're just living in it. 16 year old pop sensation Justin Bieber's stunt collaboration with nail polish juggernaut OPI was released today in stores all across America as apart of OPI's Nicole line. To the surprise of this Honey B, the collection SOLD OUT in 3000 Walmarts and is still smashing records! OPI has been known to team up with awesomely inspired entertainment big-wigs, including a colorful line of Shrek themed nail polish as well as a recent Katy Perry collaboration. Katy Perry is known for her candy coated makeup and nails, but this OPI/Justin Bieber coupling doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. The set of 15 nail polishes, named after his hits like "One Less Lonely Girl" are what you expect of any typical tween product out there- glittery and colorful. Don't get me wrong- while the Biebs isn't my personal taste of heart throb, I love a cute boy hawking products to me... but Ryan Reynolds has no place trying to sell me lipstick, does he? What does Justin Bieber have anything to do with nail polish? Is this a smart stunt-collaboration on OPI's part? Or is there some integrity left in cosmetic marketing that says attaching a name to a line is more than just about selling a product? What do you think of the Bieber/ O.P.I. connection? Will you be sporting Bieber nails or are you One Less OPI customer?  Leave your thoughts in the comments.

Dupe this Look: Katy Perry

With the MTV Video Music Awards airing just on our heels, I thought I would do a tribute to pop starlet and fellow California Girl, Katy Perry. I love Katy's use of candy colors and pin-up girl winged eyeliner. She never takes makeup too seriously which always keeps her look fun and playful. Katy also proves that you can play up your peepers and lips without it being overwhelming as long as colors stay within the same color family. I used pink tones on my look (MAC's Sushi Flower and Cranberry on my eyes) and dusted MAC's coral highlighter/blush Marine Life on my cheeks. Finish the look with some extra thick falsies and you are instantly transformed into the Teenage Dream!
