So the ‘It’ color of the season, Jade, is apparently sold out everywhere…everywhere but Ebay! So how far would you go, and how much would you spend to have this color on your filangies?

The Dell has partnered with OPI  to create a series of 26 laptops in OPI shades. Twenty colors will be from the standard collection, while six will be holiday hues.

This would be way cooler for i-Phone Skins.

I’m all for wild ideas and unique inspiration, but StrangeBeautiful’s founder Jane Schub has taken it to a whole new level. The new line, Color Volume 3, consists of eight polishes that really let us in on how “To Be Strange is to be Beautiful”. Inspirations include “the saturated rusty iron color of an Irish bog, veins of green mold running through Roquefort, the dreadfully wonderful dirty almond color used on kitchen appliances, the belly of a pigeon, the artist Sean Scully, aged armagnac, the rich black olive green color of Loden cloth, and the dull brown red of Redrope files.”

Whatever works I guess. Right?

After seeing a ton of Essie’s bright nail polishes on J.Crew models for recent ad campaigns, the label has let loose some exciting news. The company is reportedly selling a select few of the Essie polishes in their stores! Stocking up for the fall, J. Crew is selling colors “One of Kind” and “Eternal Optimist”.

Essie is teaming up with jewelry designer Judith Ripka on three shades: Put A Ripka Ring On It (soft pink), Heart My JR Jewels (deep burgundy), Queen Of Hearts (true red). AND the three bottles will contain a bit of a surprise,  one will hold a diamond, one an emerald, and one a sapphire.

I love beauty products with a sense of humor. You can’t take makeup too seriously, or you will look like Liza Minnelli on Halloween. That’s why Rescue Beauty Lounge has made my wish list with its new line of nail polish named after the Spongebob Squarepants cartoon. The polish trio contains three muted colors called “Starfish Patrick”, “Bikini Bottom” and “Square Pants.” I like when childhood pop culture is used to develop grown-up products. Now all I want is a pair of Sesame Street platform shoes!

Thanks Nylon.
