The much anticipated Zoya Chit Chat Collection is now available for pre-order on their site. (Thanks for the heads-up Lianne!)

This Summer 2008 collection, named after some of the internet’s favorite beauty bloggers (yours truly included), is a gorgeous collection of fun summer hues layered over a shimmering gold base.

Included in this collection is: Erika (soft pink metallic–*a Makeup Bag must-have!), Gaia (hip white metallic), Bekka (cool chartreuse metallic), Lianne (ultra tangerine metallic), Annie (bold berry metallic) and Elke (hot rose metallic).

This is better than Christmas!

We have a love/hate relationship with fuchsia.

Love how the jewel toned color looks on our skin (in high school, oh so many years ago, we sported fuchsia lips more often than not) (whatever—it was 1989) but hate how it’s spelled.

Fuchsia is one of those words we consistently check dictionary.com for, and then still get it wrong. If it weren’t so deep and elegant, we could all just settle for hot-pink, no?

After we told you about Estée Lauder Summer 2008: Bronze Goddess collection yesterday, we just had to sample the gorgeous Pure Color Nail Lacquer in Fuchsia. A playful bright color that looks modern and fresh, we’re certain this will be on our nails all Spring.

(Until Erika is released, that is.)

Back in November we experienced Dashing Diva for the first time during the Total Beauty New York Beauty Tour. In addition to the wonderful pampering, we couldn’t believe how long the polish on our manicure lasted.

While in New York for Fashion Week, we stopped by Dashing Diva again (this time to their Upper West Side location on Columbus Ave.) for a quick manicure and, again, the polish job lasted an entire week without any touch-ups. (Even after digging through our huge tote bag for room keys and press passes, changing batteries on our camera and digital recorder, and generally just being hard on them.)

Here’s our cranberry red nails right after our manicure (along with Julia’s race car red nails and Michelle’s trendy blue nails):

One week later our nails are a tad grown out, but still look great:

Next time we’re in New York we’re going to stop by Dashing Diva and stock up on this polish!

Backstage at Abaete, we’re pretty sure the makeup artist thought we were crazy—all crouched down snapping photos of this bottle of NARS Orgasm Nail Polish.

This will be part of the NARS fall collection hitting counters in July. However, prior to that, we’ll see this as part of a Sephora exclusive including both the polish and the Orgasm Multiple.

This is big news and we’re so excited. NARS Orgasm blush has been a favorite of ours (and everyones!) for years.

As with all NARS Nail Polishes, this is Toluene, Formaldehyde and DBP free.
