For Odd Molly, Pattie created a custom pink polish at the request of the designer, using Dashing Diva’s Drama Queen and By The Glass. The polishes were mixed to create a custom- magenta look.

INGLOT Nail Enamel

On the final day of Fashion Week, I was introduced to a great new line of nail enamels from INGLOT Cosmetics. INGLOT Company was established over 25 years ago by Wojtek Inglot, a young chemist working at that time in R&D department in a pharmaceutical company. He is still directly involved in the formulation and design process of all new Inglot products.

At their event, I got a chance to get up close and personal with their nail colors and fell in love with two colors. I'm going to feature the one I'm currently wearing. Their name colors have no names, only numbers, so this is INGLOT Nail Enamel #138

Kiss Catwalk Nails with Zoya Nail Lacquer in Lyric

Remember in my last post, I had on the amazing (and real) looking Kiss Catwalk Glue-on Nails? Click on "Kiss Catwalk Nails - Designs from the New York Runways" to refresh your memory. I realized there's more beauty to these nails than meets the eye, not only do they look realistic (it still amazes me that people didn't know until I told them) but you can change the nail polish on them as well. After wearing the original Kiss Catwalk Nails, I wanted to change the color to match the more warm earth-tones I planned on wearing. In comes my Zoya Lyric, a warm peach with orange and terracotta undertones and soft gold and champagne shimmer. A deeper nude shade with a bit of shimmer for extra impact. My nails tips became this warm textured peach


if you remember, they were previously this glittery silver


What's not to love, you can give yourself a fabulous and authentic nails without spending tons of money at the salon and you can change the color if you want. That's a win-win!!

Kiss Catwalk Nails - Designs from the New York Runways

While running back and forth during fashion week, I had the pleasure of attending the Nolcha Fashion Week presentation/lounge where I was introduced to a wonderful nail product from Kiss Nails. If you're not familiar with Kiss Nails, they are the King (Czar, Emperor?) of artificial nails, nail art, implements, etc. Well, I'm not sure why i have not noticed this before because they are available at CVS, Walgreens, Duane Reade, etc but Kiss Nails has a fabulous and stylish set of Glue-on nails called Kiss Catwalk Nails. They are described as "Designs From the New York Fashion Shows" and once you see them, you realize they are.

Models Own's $130,000 Nail Polish

I've never had the pleasure of trying Models Own Nail Polish or really that familiar with the brand (they're a UK brand) but I admit, this definitely caught my attention. Models Own has a nail polish that retails for $130,000....yes, you read that correctly - $130,000. What makes this nail polish so expensive?
