China Glaze Island Escape Summer 2011 Collection

Quick post because I’m so excited.  Finally, some good news after a series of unfortunate events (stolen card with fraudulent charges, lots of problems with ebay transactions as a result of the first incident, friendships on the line, too much travel in such a short time that has me missing out on important communication).

Here’s some preliminary collection photos of China Glaze’s 2011 Summer collection called Island Escape.  I liked Poolside, but I think this is going to be a better collection!  Can’t wait!

GLITTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  108 Degrees looks like a new version of one of my favorite pinks, 100 Proof Pink.  Blue Iguana – will this be another Blue Sparrow?  Cha Cha Cha – maybe a new version of Moonpool (oh my!).  And I hope Electric Pineapple is a unique yellow!

Oh China Glaze, please remake something like Grape Crush.  Or since you guys are awesome, why not a polish that would kill my desire for Essie Starry Starry Night?  A polish lover can dream.

Blog Sale! Now CLOSED. Thanks Everyone!

I’m doing a major purge because of my Overwhelmed state.  I’m also selling some China Glazes and Zoyas at lower than retail for my friend who is closing down her salon business.

I have quite a number of polishes for sale.  Most of these are Brand New, some were used for at most 2 manicures.  Since I don’t have time to go through each (and take pictures), hence the prices are very low (although for US-based gals these may turn out pricey – take into account I had to ship all of these stuff to Manila). These are all in stock.  Only 1 bottle of each polish is available.

Click here for the list of polishes.  If the link doesn’t work, email me (bellebathandbeyond [at] gmail [dot] com) and I can send you the file.

Essie Winter Collection 2010

Coming out of my self-imposed hiatus to bring you some exciting news about the Essie Winter collection.  I have bought the complete sets of the past Essie collections, and feel like I’m going to get the complete set for this one too.

Way to go Essie!  You’re luring me in since you named an otherwise boring polish Masquerade BELLE!

Did you see that new green?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

And the boxed set that looks so awesome.

Some color blocks to get us all giddy!

Definite must haves, just from bottle photos: Hot Coco, Going Incognito, Masquerade Belle (you now know why), and Smokin’ Hot.

Essie does vampy and greige colors best!  And when they release a green, it must be FAB! Can’t wait!
