Check it:

@BarbGray @bfftv Just discovered Chanel Paradoxical. Haven’t tried it yet though.

Our commentary: We LOVE Chanel Paradoxical. It’s a hematite-esque purple that’s gorge for fall.

@stephintoronto @bfftv My fave signature color, have been wearing it for 10+ years, one coat OPI Bubble Bath topped by one coat OPI Sweetheart.

Our commentary: That sounds like a fabulous combo! We’ll have to try it out.

@stephanie_estes @bfftv (app) down the middle & work outward. Dark colors give an edgy look at night and sophisticated pale pinks for day.

Our commentary: We agree. We recommend cleaning your nails with polish remover twice when removing dark polish to thoroughly get rid of any traces of color.

@alllacqueredup I use an eyeliner brush dipped in polish remover to clean up any nail polish application mistakes.

Our commentary: We love this tip! That will make for much easier dark polish at-home applications.

TREND ALERT! : Nail Polish

Don’t you just hate when your freshly painted manicure gets that first chip? Well now you can look forward to that moment as it is the hottest new look for 2010! BYS’S new line, CRACKED nail polish, creates tiny fractures amongst the surface of the polish, resulting in a cool crackled look. Our favorite is the black polish which “cracks” with contrasting hot pink lines. 

Obviously, something this cool has to have a catch- it is currently only available in Australia. Keep your eyes peeled though, because we are sure this product will find its way to the U.S. soon!

Fashion Friday

One thing we've noticed this Winter is that a lot of you are steering away from the nail salon and are choosing to do your nails at home. Nail polish, just like clothing, shows off your individual personality whether you like to stick with neutral tones, the classic french mani or pedi, or bright, bold colors.

And with that, we thought it be best to show you a couple of our fave, LOW COST nail polishes. Yes, LOW COST. These polish brands supply an array of colors and they last long just as the regular brands without breaking the bank. 

S I N F U L C O L O R S is one of these brands. They have seven pages of colors that one can choose from at a whopping $2.50 per bottle! Some of their popular colors are : Cottoncandy, Creampink, Chinagold, Volcanic, and Midnight Blue. 

Another site we recommend is Diamond Cosmetics. Their nailpolishes are fab as well and only cost $2 per bottle! Talk about frugal chic! Some of their best colors are Cherry Tobacco, Chainmail Charm, Oh Tiff!, and Not Your "Hum Drum" Plum. They even have some colors that glow in the dark.

Be sure to check out these websites and let us know what you think. Drop a line below!
