Summer evokes images of the beach, water sports and relaxing cruises. This summer we don’t have to go all the way to the marina to look like savvy swimsters, thanks to Essie’s newest collection, Naughty Nautical 2013. Inspired by chiffon cover-ups and pastel evening looks, these shades are perfect for any kind of summer adventure, from fun in the sun to a book under a beach umbrella.
We’re happy to announce the new Essie Naughty Nautical 2013 shades! Let’s take a peek.
Each year Essie releases a new Wedding collection, soft shades suited for the brides-to-be. These collections don’t feature sheer pinks or pale whites though! No, Essie pushes the envelope with subtle colour and creamy candy hues. Who said that wedding nails had to be boring?
We’re happy to announce the new Essie Wedding 2013 shades! Let’s take a look.
These four new shades make up the Essie Wedding 2013 collection. Pastel pinks, lavender and a soft fuchsia. These shades are the perfect addition and soft pop of colour for a bridal look.
The star of the collection is Essie Using My Maiden Name. This is the shade we’re most excited about! This beautiful soft lavender periwinkle colour is certainly going to leave a lasting impression. It’s subtle, feminine and certainly not boring!

Hi everyone! We’re excited to announce the new China Glaze Summer 2013 collection called Sunsational! Create waves with Sunsational! This 12-piece collection features six new cremes and six new jellies. This collection will be available in May 2013. Let’s take a look at the visuals and the colors.
We’re in love with this display! China Glaze created a gorgeous summery visual for the Sunsational collection. This collection underwent a name-change last minute as it was first dubbed Neons – On The Shore. We’re not quite sure why, but we’re definitely not unhappy about the change! Sunsational definitely has a ring to it! 🙂

Introducing the Essie Resort 2013 collection! A bright and colourful collection featuring four striking shades. We are excited the share the news and images of this years Essie Resort collection. This collection is powerful, feminine and sexy!
“We all love to play the role of powerful seductress.” says Essie Weingarten, Brand Founder and Global Creative Director of Essie. “Get in the mood for your close-up with over-the-top fabulous color.” Weingarten ensured this was no ordinary palette of persuasion, “I wanted to re-imagine sexy color in a way that is as unexpected as the modern woman herself.” It’s about striking, bold color that’s as fresh as a roll in the hay – it’s definitely not your traditional femme fatale look. It’s an allure from confidence, a playful attitude and indefatigable optimism.

OPI has just announced the launch of the OPI Matte Top Coat and OPI Matte GelColor Top Coat, coming April 2013. OPI finally jumps on this fashionable bandwagon and joins the matte revolution. We personally LOVE a sexy matte finish so we are very excited to be able to share this news with you!
“A matte finish can be worn over any OPI nail lacquer shade and should be applied after the base coat and primary coats of color to give nails a unique look,” says Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, OPI co-founder and artistic director. “Using Matte Top Coat to transform any shade in your collection makes it a more versatile and budget-friendly way to embrace the matte trend. Give your favorite lacquers an update with a new finish without altering the color.”
OPI Matte Top Coat will transform any nail lacquer of your choice to a beautiful soft matte finish. And the OPI GelColor users will be excited to hear that they can also enjoy a velvet finish on their nails with the OPI GelColor Matte Top Coat. Designed specifically for use with GelColor products.
Also launching is this OPI Flash On Matte set, featuring the OPI Matte Top Coat with free shimmer dust in gold and silver. The perfect addition to the nail art lovers collection! We can’t wait to get our hands on this set and start playing around with the glitter dust. Who doesn’t love the combination of matte and glitter?! We’re a fan!
OPI Matte Top Coat and OPI Matte GelColor Top Coat are expected to arrive this April 2013. We have them available now for pre-order on our site!

“OPI is very excited to take this fantastical journey with Disney,” explains Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, OPI Executive VP & Artistic Director. “Inspired by the magic of Oz The Great and Powerful, this Soft Shades collection captures the whimsy seen in the film, from glittery shades packed with white, gold and silvery iridescent confetti – Lights of Emerald City, When Monkeys Fly! and Which is Witch? – to soft neutrals in white, beige and pink – Don’t Burst My Bubble, Glints of Glinda and I Theodora You.
The three neutrals in the collection include:
These are the three glitter polishes released for the OPI Soft Shades of 2013:
And finally, the Liquid Sand finish released alongside this collection:
We love this collection! Even though they are soft shades, they are definitely NOT boring! The glitter polish, Lights of Emerald City, has amazing square white glitter pieces. Something we haven’t seen before in the mainstream polish brands. We’re definitely intrigued and can’t wait to try them out in person.
These will be available for purchase very soon, for now you can purchase them in our store, Phoenix Beauty Lounge. Make sure to take a look!
