Cosmoprof North America 2014: Jessica Cosmetics

Another great installment of what I got to see at Cosmoprof North America 2014 for you tonight. Unlike other bloggers, I purposely decided to split up the Cosmoprof 2014 posts so you can continually be excited by them. To see them all, browse the CPNA2014 tag.

Jessica Cosmetics at Cosmoprof 2014

The time I was able to spend with the Jessica Cosmetics rep was very brief, and they had appointment after appoinment, so I couldn't spend a ton of time getting all the details. Here's what I was able to gather from the rep though. All in all, it's exciting, and my favorite collection (Autumn in New York) I'll review for you at the bottom of this post, so don't miss it!

Here's a sneak peak at the nail art, to entice you to read on...

Misa Sunny Side Up Spring 2014 Collection

Although here in Boulder it doesn't feel like we got a spring, I'm still happy to wear spring colors. Today I'm sharing the Misa Sunny Side Up collection with you, which includes a variety of spring colors.

I chose three and a complementary non-Misa grey polish for the Sunny Side Up nail art!

Here's the swatches of the shades, which all needed only two coats (except Dusty Magnolia, the sandy shade used in my nail art).

Cacee Polish - Spring Collection Swatches & Review

First order of blog business tonight is to thank all of you for entering and spreading the word about my giveaway. It was a wonderful success and a winner has been selected. Congratulations to Christine of Michigan! I hope to offer more giveaways in the future for you all, especially if readership continues to grow!

Tonight I'm swatching another collection from Cacee Polish. I've swatched their BFE summer collection for you before here. This new post is for their spring collection, which I absolutely love! I think I like all of these colors more than the last one, which is difficult to say because there were so many brights in that one.

Here's the nail art I did for it, using Anita as the base.

Isn't that the most gorgeous teal? Click below to read more and see the reviews for all the other colors!

Sugar Lace

Ah finally, some nail art for nail art's sake. I continue to be busy and it's all exciting, so sporadically spicing up the blog now and then with some lovely nail art 'just cuz' is perfect for a little relaxation.

I got the design idea for this from Nails at 2am on her Instagram. I wanted to do something fun and intricate, and Sugar High (China Glaze) matched the skirt I wore today just perfectly!

The details on my left hand were done with a striping polish, and I used a black nail art pen for my right. Obviously the right isn't as nice looking, so I'll spare you the look.

Lace Tutorial for Lulus.com

Lace isn't just for your grandmother's coffee table anymore, and it's certainly not restricted to special occasion outfits like the upcoming Easter best dresses ladies will soon be dawning.

Lovely lace adds instant femininity to any outfit, and depending on the color, can really spice something up to be sexy as well.

I wanted to bring the black and white embellishment on these lace trimmed matador pants onto my nails with today's Lulus.com tutorial.
