Jason Wu & CND!

Jason Wu's Elegance Travels from Fabric to Fingernails

Jason Wu and CND Collaborate on Nail Color Collection


September 10, 2010, New York, New York - Fashion designer Jason Wu is collaborating with runway manicure leader CND to introduce a limited edition Jason Wu Collection that honors iconic women through wearable, timeless shades. The set will come with 4 Colours and 1 Effect that can be layered to achieve the designer's effortless yet elegant nail styles.

"Every season I play with different ways of using color in my collection, so it was a natural choice to collaborate with CND on a capsule of nail colors that reflects my aesthetics. Included in the set is my signature gray color," says Jason Wu.

These fabulously femme Colours provide rich coverage and everyday accessibility:

· Miss Wu - Jason's signature limestone, warm gray that dries matte with subtle chrome sheen, in perfect harmony of masculinity and femininity

· Brigitte - voluptuous warm pink that perfectly channels 50's screen siren

· Sophia - gorgeous mushroom taupe

· Veronica - highlights the evolution of decadence with a blue-based, oxblood red

· Anna Effect - layered over any of the four Colours provides a tweed finish via microscopic fibrous pieces that create cool, subtle texture

Jason Wu and CND have joined forces on the runway for the past eight seasons. This color collection is Jason Wu's first foray into nail products, and CND's first designer product partnership. The full collection will be introduced at Jason Wu's Spring 2011 runway show where audience members will receive a complimentary set.

The Jason Wu Collection will be available for purchase in salons and via CND.com in May 2011. Suggested retail price is $47. The collection will be sold globally while supplies last.


I think this collection looks exciting. I love CND. I think their products are super high quality and I cannot wait to see these colors in person. Very pretty!!!!!

Finger Paints: Gallery Glam

Hi everyone! I hope you're all well. My ankle is feeling a little better but it's still not 100%. I stayed home from "work" today in order to rest it and hopefully tomorrow will be better.

Today I wanted to share a color from Finger Paints that I bought a while ago when they had a buy 2 get one free sale. This is Gallery Glam.

Gallery Glam is a smokey dark blue shimmer. The shimmer is subtle but adds depth and interest to this color. It's not as sparkly as China Glaze's Midnight Mission but it's pretty nonetheless! I love it. The shimmer in this one seems to be the same color as the polish so it doesn't contrast as much as Midnight Mission's silver shimmer.

The formula on this one is great. It applied nicely and I didn't have any issues with thickness. I have had trouble in the past with some Finger Paints but not lately. I think I just had a dud once that's all. I love this one.



What do you think of Gallery Glam? You can purchase Finger Paints polishes at Sally Beauty Supply stores.
