I love designer stuff -- guess I'm a snob like that -- but the truth is I can't really afford it as much as I would like to. So, I get super insanely excited when beauty brands do partnerships with the badass designers that I dig.
The latest: Sally Hansen's Fashion Week Inspired shades for Prabal Gurung, Alexander Wang and Tracy Reese. Not only are the polishes $8 each, they're also are part of the Complete Salon Manicure line, which might be the easiest polish to DIY of all time. (The formula is designed to not only paint nails, but add a high-sheen topcoat that prevents chipping, too.) And while I love all three collections, I'm kind of obsessed with Prabal's the most -- the shades are just so freaking fierce.
The Spring 2013 Prabal Gurung show took inspiration from the amaze sculptor Anish Kapoor, and featured gauzy tees, chiffon tops and geometric designs that are Gurung's trademarks. To compliment his line, he created three lacquers with Sally Hansen: Apparition, a gunmetal shade I plan on rocking for nights out; Resurrection, a grayish blue that looks made for a summer pedi; and Angel Bite, an incredibly sultry deep red. I swear I'm gonna wear it on my toes till the end of time, and my editor, Rachel, swears she may just only wear it for the rest of her life. Frankly, it's the first time a seen a really cool, bluish red.
Did I mention each of the bottles cost $8 each? That's a LOT cheaper than this Prabal scoopneck dress I've been lusting after. Thanks to Sally Hansen I can now at least say I own something from the designer.
