Love It or Hate It? Rihanna's Gaelic Green Nails

BellaSugar — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 11:24:59 -0700

Rihanna and her green nails are just a little bit late for St. Patrick's Day, but that's all right. The star got up close and personal with her young fans after performing a benefit concert last night at a Chicago club. You voted that you (overwhelmingly) liked her black nail polish over any of the other wild and crazy colors that she's worn recently, and now you've got another shade to choose from. That Rihanna sure does love unusual polish. Do you?

New Product Alert: La Bella Donna Mineral Eye Shadow in Montagna

BellaSugar — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 09:01:56 -0800

La Bella Donna goes green! While other brands get tons of attention for coming out with a whole new collection each season, La Bella Donna creates buzz by coming out with a single new color in their carefully created line.

This season's shade is an eco-inspired forest green eye shadow called Montagna ($19). It can be worn dry as an all over lid or crease color, or it can be used wet as a sultry eyeliner. Paired with a brown mascara, this is a wonderful way to create an earthy-looking eye.

And here's a little fun fact for you. La Bella Donna has undergone research on those who love the color green. They have found that these people are meticulous about details and are seekers of balance and harmony. Do you love green-and if so, do you fit this description?

Trend Alert: Deep Green Nails

BellaSugar — Tue, 13 Nov 2007 13:00:23 -0800

This nail trend might make you green with envy - or it just might make your fingertips green. For the holiday season, Nars released this dark green nail polish. Called Zulu, it was on the cover of Sephora's holiday catalog - and it sold out almost immediately.

You can sign up for the waiting list or bid on Zulu on eBay (right now, a bottle is $26, with five days left to go). Or if you want to hop on the green nail trend-as Partysugar did last week-check out three options when you read more

I tried to find an exact match for Zulu, but this ain't the '90s, and green nail polish is hard to find. I did manage to find three greens that are in the general family, so take a look:

Bellissima! Duri Hot Ice Nail Polish

BellaSugar — Fri, 24 Aug 2007 09:58:46 -0700

Don't you just hate it when you take off your nail polish to find that it's completely turned your nail base yellow or stained? Here's a quick fix. Duri Cosmetics Nail Polish in Hot Ice ($3.99) is a pale greenish-bluish nail polish that can double as a base coat, so any pre-existing tarnish that you have on your nails and toes won't distort your new color.

The concept is similar to tinted foundations, and colored concealers where the slightest tint neutralizes any discolorations. I love this idea, especially now that all these bright reds, raspberries, dark blues and blacks are back-all of which tend to leave stubborn, unwanted traces behind.

Trend Alert: Patina Eye Shadow

BellaSugar — Thu, 02 Aug 2007 07:00:27 -0700

This shade of green is making a real scream! Patina is a sage-y, olive toned-green with flecks of gold to give it a metallic sheen! Okay, I'll stop rhyming now. Since we already know that lime green eyeliner is hot for summer, this is a beautiful and warm shade that makes for a gorgeous transition from summer to fall. Here are three patina-colored eye shadows new to the market that I think you'll love as much as I do.

Laura Mercier Eye Colour-Shimmer in Patina ($20) is part of the new Indian Summer Collection This shadow is a rich khaki-gold that contains light reflecting ingredients to create a "soft-focus" effect. This helps reduce the look of wrinkles and warms up the skin.

The color builds well,so it can be taken easily from day to night, and the texture is smooth, soft and easily blendable! All of the shadows in this collection can be worn wet or dry.

Tarte Cosmetics Lock and Roll Eye Shadow Duo in Patina ($28) is a double sided eyeshadow (one side is creamy and one side is powder). I wish it were available in a range of colors, but for now, this new product comes in two shades only: Patina and Bronze.

Becca Cream Eye Colour in Patina ($25) is a highly pigmented shimmer cream shadow that glides on easily with your fingertips! Here's a helpful tip: these shadows tend to last longer if they are applied after your foundation and powder.

This color is so popular that it's actually already out of stock on the Becca website, so if you like it, I wouldn't wait too long to buy it or try it. See, I'm rapping again.

BellaSugar — Fri, 16 Mar 2007 11:23:33 -0700

Whenever there is a holiday coming up that you can dress up for, I get all excited. This weekend marks St. Patrick's Day. As you are drinking your green colored beer in your green outfit, why not add a lil' green to your face and look pretty! If not, I'm willing to bet that someone is going to put a four leaf clover sticker on your cheek. Enjoy.

Urban Decay Eye Shadow in Vert, $16, is a bold, iridescent eye shadow that will add some instant flirt to your look. You can use this rich color on the base of your lid, or just as an accent color in the inner corner of your eye. Other greens in this line include: urb, acid rain, green goddess and my personal favorite name...mildew. EW!

Laura Mercier Eye Liner in Emerald Green, $20, is a
cake eyeliner that helps define your eyes without smudging. It contains light-reflective pigments to add brightness to your eyes and the color stays true and it lasts all day long.

To apply, wet your eyeliner brush and dot along your upper and lower lash line. It can be applied thin or thick depending on your desired look.

OPI Nail Polish in Call My Cell-ery, $7.50, is a medium to light green nail lacquer that is enriched with a soft undertone of sparkly gold and silver. I'm not saying this is beautiful, but I will say that it's spirited and fun. Maybe if it's warm enough you should just put it on your toes and wear sandals!

Eye Palettes To Enhance Your Eye Color: Green Eyes

BellaSugar — Thu, 08 Mar 2007 11:34:33 -0800

Welcome to my third installment of Eye Palettes to Enhance Your Eye Color. This post features green shaded shadows created especially to make green eyes pop! Green has both a warming and cooling effect on the eyes. The color symbolizes: balance, harmony, and stability. You can use bright, chartreuse colors for a springtime feel or darker more olive colors for a fall/winter look.

Each of these palettes include three to four shades of just the right greens and golds to perfectly enhance your eyes. The lightest neutral shade is the highlighter and goes just beneath your brow-bone; the medium color should be swept all over your lid and the darkest is applied to the crease. Stay tuned for one more palette tomorrow to suit blue eyes!

Du Wop Eye Shadow Palette in Green Eyes, $32, is a collection of six smooth, light and brilliant green-hued eye shadows. The palette contains three shades of the color shadow base, a gold shadow to give your eyes a metallic shimmer and a deep forest green cream liner.

The colors are: soft golden green, soft lime, rich forest green, chartreuse, deep green cream liner and gold. The colors are easily blend-able and they won't crease!

Laura Mercier Evolution of Colour for Eyes in Rainforest, $36, is a gorgeous eyeshadow quad. The colors can easily take you from day to night by adding the deepest green to your crease and the lightest shade to your brow for a more dramatic effect.

You can wear each one alone or blend them together to create your own look. Laura Mercier shadows are phenomenal, I've been wearing them for over a decade. They are crease resistant, long lasting and the colors are highly pigmented so just a little goes a long way. This awesome palette is now offered in four other beautiful color spectrums too!

Burjois Eye Shadow Trio in Les Verts, $18, is made from ultra-fine powder that feels and looks like satin on your eyes.

This palette creates a more soft, subtle effect than the others. The colors included are: a pale green for highlighting, a shimmery sage green for all over color and a forest green for the crease or for lining. Enjoy.
