ALU Senior Superlatives Class of 2010

By on June 1, 2010
in Giveaway with 81 Comments
alu-senior-superlatives As a high school student, I was super involved (read nerd).  I joined a ton of clubs, was in the band and played attempted to play sports.  Of all the activities I was involved in, I had the most fun being a part of the Yearbook Staff.  My senior year, I was co-editor in chief with one of my friends and we had a blast.

Each June as the school year draws to a close I can’t help but wax nostalgic a bit, especially since one of my friends is a Senior Class Advisor who plans prom and all sorts of fun year-end activities.  It makes me want to get out my yearbooks and reflect on the good times we had all those years ago (man I’m old!).

This year instead of looking back I thought it would be fun if we brought one of the classic rituals of high school to the polish world with a Senior Superlatives poll.  Vote for your favorite brands in a bunch of unique categories and help celebrate the Nail Polish Class of 2010.

Of course what fun would this be without a giveaway.  So check out the categories, vote in the ALU Senior Superlatives Class of 2010 poll and see what one lucky voter will WIN after the jump!

OPI Summer Flutter Collection Swatches & Review

By on May 24, 2010

opi-summer-flutter-collection-2010-bottles OPI’s butterfly themed Summer Flutter collection is their second summer release.  For some reason thinking about flutterbys, as I like to call them, causes that ridiculous Butterfly song from Crazy Town to pop into my head.  Shoot me now, ha!

I actually started looking at pics of butterflies online to get something sweeter in mind as I played with the polishes.  That was especially necessary as I only have seen Monarchs in my neck of the woods. Nothing nearly as colorful as this collection.  With two foil sparklers, a shimmer flecked pink and a creamy orange, the Summer Flutter collection is perfect for those of you on creme overload.

OPI Swiss Collection for Fall 2010 Preview

opi-swiss-collection-fall-2010 Happy Friday Fanatics!  The Fall promos are on a roll and today I have images of the OPI Swiss collection.

As you can see, we have another lovely looking green headed our way as well as some cool blues but I’m surprised at the number of reds.  We know from history that the holiday collection will launch not not long after and will include six reds so this seems like overkill to me.  I get that their flag is red but how about a fab sparkling white then?

Get an up close look at the collection after the jump!

OPI Shrek Forever After Collection Swatches, Review and Comparisons

opi shrek forever after collection swatches opi brights 2010 You might have seen a housefly, maybe even a superfly, but I bet you ain’t never seen a donkey fly.

Fanatics, can you please join me in a standing ovation for OPI and Suzi Weiss-Fischmann for creating a collection with NO REDS OR PINKS!! It took a big, smelly ogre to make this magical moment happen but I’m not complaining.  The Shrek Forever After Collection is OPIs addition to their ongoing Summer Brights series and I’m totally into it.

Surely, OPI could have found a reason to include a red or pink in this collection but I applaud them for not playing it safe.  A swampy, ogre green isn’t exactly conservative and I love that.  In fact, looking at the colors it’s like they were designed to be mani/pedi combinations.  The lilac & purple, sky & cyan blue and yellow & green.  They’re just meant to be together.
