Upcoming Summer Trends: #4 Mint Green

Mint green was huge this summer in America - fueled by a need for Chanel's Jade.

This polish is now selling for incredible prices on ebay. INSANE I tell you! (most people were able to satisfy this lemming with Milani Dress maker - but this is not available in New Zealand - typical)

Anywho........... There are other options if you want to take part in this trend and not go bankrupt while doing it.

Color Club Twiggie from the new summer Poptastic Collection available in store from the start of September. See the Color Club website for stockists (I get mine from Life Pharmacies for about $17)

As I am still on a "No Buy" at the moment due to a serious lack of funds this is the only one I have to show you. But you can also check out:

Revlon Minted (available at pharmacies and department stores for around $17)

Essie Mint Candy Apple (available at Radius Pharmacies and some Salons for around $23)

Bloom Kitty (available at Farmers for around $15)

BYS Mint Condition or Pretty Pastel Peppermint (available from Cosmetics Plus for around $8)

Upcoming Summer Trends: #2 Coral

Trend number two is one I am more excited about. Coral - Peach, Pink, Shimmer and Creme.

OPI Dancing in the Isles

This is from the 2004 Greek Isles Collection, it might still be available online but I don't think you'll find it in the shops.

BYS Pink Splash

Ive had this polish for a couple of years now so I don't think it is available anymore - but as an example of this trend it is a good one. This actually has a yellow shimmer to it (Click the picture to make it bigger to see)

OPI Melon of Troy

One of my favourites. Slightly more orange but still in line with this trend. This is also from the 2004 Greek isles collection but is now part of the regular collection (available at Department stores and pharmacies for $25)

Other polishes to try for this summer trend which are available in New Zealand are:

Essie Haute as Hello (available at Radius Pharmacies and some Salons for around $23)

Revlon Tropical Temptation (available at pharmacies and department stores for around $17)


BYS Caribbean Crush (available from Cosmetics Plus for around $8)

Bloom Bettina (available at Farmers for around $15)

Upcoming Summer Trends: #1 Taupe

The next 5 posts will be about the up coming summer trends for New Zealand (and other southern hemisphere countries) based on what was hot around the rest of the world this summer.

Taupe was huge this summer. It is a trend that I will not be taking part in though. For this post I had to borrow some Taupe polishes off my best friend to show you. Taupe is a brown grey colour. To me it seems more like an autumn colour but nether the less here it is for summer.

OPI Over the Taupe - Sunshine

This is from last years Bright Pair collection (A little hard to find in NZ but have a look on trade me for it)OPI You're a doll! - sunshine

This is from the 2008 Holiday in Toyland collection - its a light taupe with micro red copper glitter.

Other polishes to try for this summer trend which are available in New Zealand are:

Bloom Bette (available at Farmers for around $15)

BYS White with one (available from Cosmetics Plus for around $8)

Revlon Grey Suede (available at pharmacies and department stores for around $17)

Orly Coffee Break (available at Farmers for $23)

More Summer trends to come :)
