Treasure Trove - June 2009

Dig deep into the many splendors of summer’s bijou-bright and jewel-flecked metallic polishes.

 

No need to drop your lifesavings on a Tiffany diamond; summer’s lavish lacquers will put on the glitz. Revel in fine riches with pigments in opulent sapphire and crystalline amethyst. Quench luxurious appetites with flashy hues in canary, jade and coral. And who can resist the glitz of gilded ruby and fiery opals? Whether milky opaque or glittery metallic, these posh summer lacquers bring a wealth of brilliance no money can buy.

Art Attack - June 2008

Ready to go Van Gogh? Have a brushstroke of genius with this summer’s adventurous—and unconventional—polish palette.

 

Take a walk through our gallery, where art meets beauty in a mélange of contemporary artworks. Bold, neon lacquer colors serve as our muses, whether in a wash of spray paint across an urban building or as frenzied drips splashed on a canvas. You can draw inspiration from the surrealism of the Dada movement or the mass culture appeal of pop art, but either way, you’ll be playing Picasso with an array of lacquer hues in no time.

Colors of the Rainbow - March 2008

Give your clients more than off-the-rack color choices.
 
In recent years, the notion of customization has exploded as savvy consumers continue their quest to stand out from the crowd. Shoes, jeans, fragrances, makeup and jewelry in custom fits, colors and mixes are luring shoppers to spend a little extra cash on something that’s all their own.
 
So where do you fit into all of this? You too can carve out your own little niche. With a little creativity and some help from nailcare manufacturers, you will begin to see how customizing the look of your clients’ nails to suit their complexions and personalities will bring you closer to finding a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
 

Dark Matters - September 2007

Ready yourself to hunt for hues so deep that only blazing light shows their true color.

When seeking purple tones, opt for wicked plums that incorporate flecks of onyx; amethysts so deep, they fall into darkness; and luscious lavenders with hazy, dreamy qualities.

Chroma {Chromatic} - July 2007

Travel to the end of summer’s pigment-saturated rainbow and witness a menagerie of prismatic colors.

Trip the bright fantastic this summer with a color palette that ebbs with a current of fluoro-cool neons and flows with flutter-soft pastels. The endless rainbow of hues—sultry indigo, candy-apple green, translucent coral, bubblegum pink—transcends the usual ROYGBIV spectrum, turning out a pigment paradise that your clients are sure to delight in during summer’s hot-hue months.

In The Sheer - March 2007

Adopt your color vision from transparent, light-as-air fabrics that create a dreamscape of distinctive colors.

A lithe body eclipsed in thin layers of frothy chiffon and tulle—your eye dances over the tiers of gossamer fabric, first catching the way that each cascading layer licks at the wind and then drawing toward how lightly these layers caress the body’s silhouette. Isn’t it obvious that a hint of what lies beneath is oh so much sexier than an outright display? For this spring’s polishes, everything is left to the imagination; nothing is laid bare. The transparent properties of fashion filter into each polish, where light plays up magnificent...
