As the morning sun hit my desk earlier today, I was totally mesmerized by my nail polish.

NARS Rouge Andalou (from the NARS Holiday 2009 collection) is a candy apple red that’s so shimmery, I can’t take my eyes off my nails. I painted my nails on Friday—THREE WHOLE DAYS ago—and they still look perfect!

Rouge Andalou is a warm red with golden undertones and tons of shimmer—a gorgeous candy apple red for a season of festivities.

NARS Rouge Andalou is currently available online at NARSCosmetics.com for $16.

NARS Multiple is my all-time favorite multipurpose tool for adding an ethereal glow to eyes, cheeks and lips.

Now, NARS is making it easier than ever to tote glowing goodness wherever you go with this sweet set of mini Multiples that includes: Orgasm (peachy pink shimmer), South Beach (shimmering apricot) and Copacabana (glistening pearl).

NARS The Multiple Coffret is available from Sephora for $40.

This season NARS wraps up their 15th anniversary year with a gorgeous color collection full of bold and shimmery hues full of sophistication.
