bichices:

Got China Glaze White Cap today, it’s probably the only white that looks beautiful on my skin tone… Love it!

My nails today: Zoya “Gemma”. 

The lower right photo is, L-R: Gemma with Pure Ice “Heartbreaker” over it (which gives it this amazing amped-up Chanel Jade effect), Gemma alone.

I found the pic on eBay, but the watermark says Pretty Polish. I did a Google search and nothing! Does anyone know where the Pretty Polish blog/Flickr is?

Essence “Hypnotic Poison”.

Via Polish Drop.

China Glaze “Grape Juice” is an underrated color, I think. The microglitter (foil? shimmer? ultrashimmer? what is this?!?! help, bloggers!) in it is amazing.

OPI “Yoga-to Get This Blue!”

** This is another color featured in the ALU Favorites 2010 vote. I voted (hey, I should get a sticker!) and I found myself Google image searching a lot of the candidates. This is a blue I can believe in. 

Rescue Beauty Lounge “Anne”. Absolutely gorgeous close-up.

CND “Asphalt” with CND “Copper Shimmer” over it. I really need to get Copper Shimmer so I can try this.

I saw a sneak peek of the new Lancôme shades a few months ago (post here) and couldn’t wait to see more. WELL, tonight I cracked open my new issue of Lucky magazine and there it was in the beauty section — in Jean Godfrey-June’s monthly column no less — the shimmery, sheer, glittery “Le 54”.  

It’s available for pre-order (Jan 14) on the Nordstrom site, along with a creme called “Violet Groove” which looks like a bluer version of NARS “Pokerface”.  

Essie “After Sex”.

Smoke nails + a YSL ring.
