Michael Kors in Sensation

Brand: Michael Kors Nail Lacquer, Sexy Shades

Shade: Sensation
(tomato red shade, glossy finish)

Cost: $$$$

The Scoop:
I know this is expensive, but I just can't say no to Michael. When I go for a bright red shade, I like ones like this that lean orange. I think it looks freshest on short nails. It also goes on in two coats and is super shiny -- for this price, it had better!

Michael Kors in Rio de Janiero

Brand: Michael Kors Nail Lacquer, Limited Edition

Shade: Rio de Janiero
(pale rose gold color, iridescent metallic finish)

Cost: $$$$

The Scoop:
Wearing Michael Kors polish makes me feel fancy. And this one makes me think of the beach at sunset, which is where I wish I was instead of in my apartment glowing in the light of my laptop. This shade does not, however, come with a passport to Rio. Go figure.

Michael Kors in Envy

Brand: Michael Kors Nail Lacquer, Glam Collection

Shade: Envy
(raspberry color with glossy finish)

Cost: $$$$

The Scoop:
I chose this pretty shade for an event we were having at work -- a Spring Fling. This is a fancy splurge, but that helped justify it in my mind. Plus, it matched my necklace. It's the little things...

Next Shade: Essie in Hide and Go Chic

Michael Kors in Hint

Brand: Michael Kors Nail Lacquer, Sporty Shades

 

Shade: Hint

(nude color, glossy finish)

 

Cost: $$$$

 

The Scoop:
In honor of NY Fashion Week, and the fact that I miss him on Project Runway, this week's shade is a tribute to Michael Kors. His debut polish needed 3 coats, but it was pretty shiny right out of the beautiful bottle.  Somewhere, Tim Gunn is smiling...
