Release date: August 8, 2012
What do you guys think? Are these a must have for you? Or quite possibly a must pass?

Hed Kandi joined forces with Models Own to create a new exclusive collection of nail polishes inspired by the party capital of the world, Ibiza!
“With this year being Hed Kandi’s 10 year anniversary on the Balearic party island, the range of five polishes reflects the Hed-turning, fashionforward glamour that the fabulous brand brings to all their events on The White Isle. The ‘Hed Kandi collection’ instantly brings to life the recognisable glamorous girls synonymous with the brand, transporting you to the jet-set global dance floor. With three of the brightest Models Own shades and two premium glitters making up the collection this embodies the whole essence that Ibiza has to offer.”
There are 5 colors in this set:
- Balearic Cool: a lovely aquamarine that will remind you of the waters by Formentera.
- Hedonist: a sizzling hot bright coral that in this picture kind of reminds me of a more orange version of O.P.I’s Red Lights Ahead… Where?
- Beach Party: a sunny yellow polish inspired by the world famous sunsets on the White Isle.
- Disco Heaven: a glittery gold nail polish that seems to be infused with blue green iridescent sparkle.
- Ibiza Mix: a gorgeous multi-coloured sparkle that will surely catch anybodies eye when you’re out club hopping.
I’m loving all these brights coming out right now and I have got to say that I really like this little set! What do you all think?
Sally Hansen teams up with Avril Lavigne!
Don’t these just look great? They are the 12 brand new Salon effects nail polish strips by Sally Hansen that were designed by Avril Lavigne!
They will be out this April so if you want these, keep your eye out for them next month!
Do you have a favorite? I have to admit that I actually like all of them! I love wearing nail polish strips on my toes as they’re quick, stay on great and just look fabulous!
Do you wear nail polish strips? And have you ever tried them on your toes before?
The O.P.I. Vintage Minnie Mouse Summer 2012 collection
I’ve been aware of this new set by O.P.I. for a little while, but until now I just haven’t been very motivated to post it. Not because it’s not cute, it’s adorable really, but man I just do not do pink or red or huge glitter and this little set has all of this and nothing else.
What am I talking about you ask? The new O.P.I. Minnie Mouse Summer 2012 collection of course!
There are just four colors in this collection, two reds, two pinks. And they will be available June 1, 2012.
Here is another picture and a quick description of the colors:
Nothin’ Mousie ‘bout it. - This looks like a transparent pink jelly with glass fleck shimmer and little white or possibly light pink heartshaped glitter pieces.
I’m All Ears. - A magenta shimmer that looks more red than pink in the display picture so I am not sure what to think about this one yet.
If You Moust You Moust. - This one looks like a typical bubblegum pink.
The Color of Minnie. - The signature Minnie Mouse cherry red you know from her cute little polkadot dress.
What do you think of this collection? Are you underwhelmed like I am? Or are you in fact a big Disney or Minnie or even pink and reds fan and will you be getting these as soon as they hit the shops?
- Edited to add the first bottle shot I’ve found of these online. (Source the O.P.I.’s official twitter page)
- Edit number two: BeautyJunkies has swatches up!

Just a quick picture as I don’t have much details just yet besides what is mentioned on the picture itself, but would you just look at these lovely colors! I am going to need Arizona and Reagan! Plus all the metallic foils for sure as they’ll look amazing knowing Zoya and I’m sure they’ll make GREAT stamping polishes to boot!
What do you think about these? Are any of these calling your name? Do they actually HAVE your name, let me know!
China Glaze – New Bohemian collection 2012
Yes! Finally China Glaze is hopping on board of the Duo/Multichrome train and boy do they do it well! Duo- and multichrome nailpolishes are a metallic looking polish that shift in the light as you move, one moment they look green, the next they are gold or even have a blue hue to them, trust me on this, you will not stop looking at your nails when you wear one of these. I have a few Models Own Beetlejuice polishes, and a couple of Ozotic multichromes and they are just amazing. So I have high hopes for this little set that China Glaze are going to be releasing in the, hopefully very near, future.
Because not only is there a lovely Chanel Peridot look-a-like, there are also 5 other colors to get excited about!
Pictured here from left to right you see:
- Unpredictable
- Rare And Radiant
- Swanky Silk
- No Plain Jane
- Want My Bawdy
- Deviantly Daring
Sadly I have not been able to find a release date or any swatches for these yet, but I hope they will come out soon and that they will be gorgeously opaque.
Are any of these polishes on your wishlist now you’ve seen them here?

The next Essence collection was just revealed here in the Netherlands via a press release and they have picked a very cute theme this time that fits Spring that at the makes you long for summer: Fruity!
This collection does not only have 5 lovely polishes but also some other nice nail related goodies, keep reading and I will introduce you to all of it.
First up though, I have five cute and fruity nail polishes to show you, namely:
- 01 Banana Joe,
- 02 Peach Beauty,
- 03 Very Cherry,
- 04 One Kiwi A Day…
- 05 Mashed Berries.
As you can see in the close up pictures on the right (click it to enlarge) there are 2 creams and three glittery polishes in this mini collection. And I have to say, I do like the little touch of using different types of glitters for the polishes. The Kiwi green one has a different glitter shape than the Cherry and Berries ones, which is a nice little detail I think.
That’s not all in the nail department by the way as they are also releasing a cute little set of fimo cane slices that looks like sliced fruit called “Nail Fruits” that comes with its own nail glue. Because the slices are of course a bit thicker than say a striper line or some dots you make with a naildotter they have added a Nail Art sealing topcoat called “Stay Fruity” to the collection.
Now we come to something I am quite excited about: With this collection they’re also releasing a scented topcoat called ”Smells like strawberry…“ that… you guessed it; smells like fresh strawberries! I am so going to have to chase this one down because I am very much into fruity scents and how fun will it be to have a yummy scent coming from your nails all day?
The Essence Fruity collection will be exclusively for sale at Kruidvat & Trekpleister from halfway April until May 2012 here in the Netherlands.
So, what are your thoughts on this collection? I myself will probably only grab the topcoat but I do think that if I like it that I will grab several.

Man I have to share this right now! Friends of mine just launched this amazing webshop with all kinds of hard to find and otherwise awesome polishes which they are selling cheaper than I have ever seen them being sold before. I have seen some polishes on there that I know are out of stock elsewhere (Jessica’s for instance which look absolutely awesome as they always come up with different cute bottle shapes) so if you are lemming for those, you better swoop them up because I’m sure that once they’re gone, they’re gone!
Also Ninja Polish is proud to offer the Ninja Trio, their very own line of custom polishes by Nerdlacquer! Is that cool or WHAT?!
It’s called Ninjapolish and man they sure ninja’d their way onto the scene with this because we, their friends at the polish forum we’re on, had no idea they were up to this until they just launched!
Click the picture to take a look, you will not be disappointed! They have Brazilian flakies, holo’s, Nerdlacquer, I’m Feeling Nail-venturous frankens (Which labels were designed by me! I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT THOSE YOU HAVE NO IDEA!), and a lot more, pretty much anything you could wish for and I’m sure there will be added even more in the near future. I’ve already ordered me some A-England colors, a big stamping plate that is to just die for from Brazil by Drikk and 3 other polishes, plus I’m getting the I’m feeling Nail-venturous frankens as well so I’m sure I’ll show here once I get them.
I want to wish Rhonni and Stephanie a lot of luck with this awesome new adventure!
Are you guys planning to order something?
