Tangerine Nails It!

Looking into nail polish trends has come up with a mixture of results, but what I found that stood out the most was Tangerine or Burnt Orange


It is such a fresh, vibrant and bright colour that works with all skin tones. I think just coming out from Summer into Autumn, this colour fits in perfectly with the changing season. Be perfect with a nice matte lipstick on a casual day out.

The nail polishes listed above from left to right:

Sonia Kashuk – $4.79 from Target. The only stockist who sells it is Target. Possibly only available in USA.

Sephora offers this Opaque rich Tangerine nail polish from their website for $9.50. You do have to scroll down and find the colour from all that is on offer.

Le Métier De Beauté Nail Lacquer in Not So Safe Orange cannot be bought off their direct website but you can purchase it for $18 from Bergdorf Goodman and Neiman Marcus.

CND offers Electric Orange #545 which isn’t sold directly from their website but I managed to find it on Amazon from stockist One41 Beauty for $6.15. The maximum cost that I found was $8.45.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For a local stockist here in Australia, I found BYS offered Tempt me Tangerine with stockists found here. BYS Nail Polishes usually cost around $5.

Dr.’s Remedy offer their Tranquil Tangerine for $17 off their website. It is a bit on the lighter side and not a solid, dense tangerine / burnt orange.

Found this at Drugstore.com by Revlon. This is the Tangerine nail polish and cost $4.99. You can most likely go to your local pharmacy or department store to find this.

Found an Etsy store KBShimmer that make bright and bold coloured nail polish. This is $7.50 from this Etsy seller. They are currently away but will be back in May to open up shop again.

OPI offer from their Texas Collection Y’all Come Back Ya Hear? I found this at various beauty websites including Recreate Yourself, Salon Style, and Beauty Bay for approx $16.95 but then I got onto Amazon and found the seller rock and glamorize that sold it for $2.

Ulta 3 offer Burnt Orange which is very strong and bold when applied. It costs approx $2 from a physical Chemist such as Terry White Chemists or any local pharmacy.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is just part 1 of the nail polish series. There are many more interesting colours that I want to share and would be perfect for the upcoming months.

Thought I would start out with the bright colours first before we go onto the subtle colours.

Thanks for stopping by. Please feel free to post any requests on my Facebook page here.

More Beauty Boxes?

Was reading Thoughts In Little Boxes who tested out:

This was available in the UK and it made me think about other options in Australia. There are different options out there depending on what brands you might be interested in.

Australian customers

To be launched soon…

I have linked the products page for each website. These are alternative options to Glossy Box

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

American customers

Beauty Bar does have a waiting list

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

UK customers

Previously known as Boudoir Privé

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Canadian customers

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

International customers

Found a review of this Korean website on this blog

Please note you do have to go onto a waiting list for Eco-Emi but all the products are organic.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is just a point of reference for people to check out the various sites and choose a beauty box is best for them. There is a variety of subscription offers and you do have to pick and choose what products you will be most interested in. Research around and read reviews on the companies before you subscribe. The good thing is, you can cancel your subscription anytime.

I found that America had the most to offer for their residents. With this growing trend, I’m sure there will be more companies emerging offering more options as well as natural, organic products.

I’m off now to research some nail polish trends.

:D
