Nail Flavor of the Week: Color Club Taboo!

nail flavor of the week

Janey attends a private school where she needs to wear a uniform every day and is not allowed to have polish on her nails.

For a girl surrounded by fingernail polish, this has proven a very difficult task. (Especially because she has two older sisters that paint their nails several times a week!)

One of the highlights of Janey’s weekend is rushing home on Fridays after school to paint her nails.

Today she selected Taboo! by Color Club Lacquer, a deep purple full of pink and gold shimmer.

This also happens to be the shade I’m wearing this week as well. (Although, I must say, my painting skills are much more refined than Janey’s.) (Not to brag or anything. I mean, I do have 31 years of experience over her.)

I also just realized I forgot to show you the color I was wearing last week. If you follow me on Twitter you might have seen this Twitpic showing that I, once again, rocked Chanel Diabolic:

I can’t get enough of it!

What are your favorite nail shades this season?

Yves Saint Laurent Holiday Look Collection 2009

Leaving glitter behind, Yves Saint Laurent opts for the ultimate chic of pure, vibrant, incandescent colors. From sublime red to deep plum, the shades adapt with variable textures, multiple effects and powerful combinations. Worn alone in a refined monochrome or paired in contrasting duos, they are intensely alive and designed to be freely expressed for an instinctive, ultra couture make-up look.

You can never be too rich or too thin, right?

I love Demi Moore, I really do.

She’s gorgeous, talented and a great mother. She’s also too thin.

I think there is so much pressure on Hollywood to be thin that it works against them. Look at the picture of Demi on the left, taken just last year. Her skin is glowing, her hair is shiny and she could easily pass for a 30-year-old.

One year later (photo on the right) Demi looks noticeably thinner and decades older.

Don’t get me wrong, she still looks amazingly beautiful and a lot better than many of the 46-year-olds I know, but it’s clear to see how being too thin is really not a good thing.

Mally on The Rachael Ray Show!

Lately I’ve been obsessing over the hilarious blog videos over at Mally Beauty.

If you don’t know Mally Roncal, she is a celebrity makeup artist and creator of Mally Beauty. (I can’t wait to tell you about the new perfume she’s launching this season!) Mally has the best personality and I LOVE watching her at work backstage at New York Fashion Week and on her videos. I don’t think there is ever a time she is not smiling!

Mally Beauty
Here I am with Mally in January 2008 at the Bendel’s Beauty Breakfast in New York.

Today, Mally is featured on the Rachael Ray Show where she pops into the maternity ward to give unsuspecting new moms a makeover they’ll never forget!

Be sure to watch Mally on Rachael Ray today!
