Let it be known that I am OBSESSED with Rachel Zoe. Love love love her! That's why I wasn't surprised that RZ hit another home run when she recommended Kink, a dark green, kick-ass nail polish by Illamasqua. (How much fun is the name, btw?)

Bold colors are huge this seez, and although I have to admit I'm not the biggest fan of incorporating them into my wardrobe, I love nothing more than to rock a deep, dark, dramatic manicure. Mission accomplished with the strong and intense Kink. As it says on the packaging, this nail polish is "worn by those who refuse to be everybody." Plus, it's the perfect transitional color...the green is ideal for the fall, while the intensity of the shade is perfect for the winter!
RZ, you always get it right!
Kink by Illamasqua gets a rating of 5 out of 5 lipsticks:
Fall is here, and I'm totally diggin' the fact that blue nails are a MAJOR trend this seez. Everywhere I look, there are gorgeous navy blues, blues with shimmer, blues with sparkle...such a cool and welcome change from the pinks and corals of summer.
WELL, I think I just found the FUNNEST blue of them all! Essie's Winter 2011 collection features a new color called The School of Hard Rocks. LOVE! Don't get me wrong - those royal blues are absolutely stunning. But if you're in the mood to change it up a bit while staying in the blue family, The School of Hard Rocks is perfect. What's so cool about this shade is it's a COMPLETELY different color than any other blue you'll see, almost appearing to have a hint of green in it. It's definitely my favorite color this season. I've been staring at my nails since I applied it, and you will be too if you pick up a bottle here.
*Le sigh* Turns out having the blues isn't so bad after all!
