Spring 2012: Zoya True and Fleck Effect.

Next up in my spring collection rundowns is actually two from nail brand Zoya. One is very Spring with unexpectedly soft and beautiful shades. The colors in the Zoya Spring 2012 True Collection really speak spring to me, with its variations form very light and creamy nude, to a subtly shimmery muted grape.

  • Cho - Opaque yellow-toned light soft peachy beige with a hint of ultra fine silver shimmer. A light, creamy nude especially nice for skin tones with olive or yellow undertones.
  • Farah - Opaque light khaki-beige with subtle sandy, greenish undertones and a cream finish. An always appropriate neutral to add to your polish wardrobe.
  • Bevin - Dusty, medium sage green with teal tones and a creamy opaque finish. A stylish and unique shade for when you want something different from the usual mint green.
  • Skylar - Medium steel blue with a softened, dusty look and speckled by visible gold and silver shimmer flecks. A soft blue that's bold without being too dark, bright or flashy.
  • Tru - Saturated, red-toned grape purple with speckled shimmer that reflects gold, orange and red.? Bold and saturated warm color made even more interesting with color-shifting shimmer.
  • Lotus - Very soft, dusty blue-toned amethyst purple with colorful shimmer that reflects pink, red and gold. A dreamy smoky shade for purple lovers that looks both soft and luminous.

The next one is really fun, called Fleck Effect. Think flecks of color that you can wear alone, but better yet and really designed to be top coats. When topped over another shade, these colors really make the flecks of color pop.

  • Maisie - Sheer turquoise blue base with reflective Mylar flakes that shift from green to blue. A fun flake glitter topcoat that can be layered over any shade to create a fascinating 3D effect.
  • Opal - Sheer green base with reflective Mylar flakes that shift from bright green to blue. A fun flake glitter topcoat that can be layered over any shade to create a fascinating 3D effect.
  • Chloe - Sheer coral pink base with two types of duochrome Mylar flakes: red-orange to gold and gold-green to blue. A fun flake glitter topcoat that can be layered over any shade to create a fascinating 3D effect.

Each nail lacquer retails for $8.00 each. It is important to note that Zoya Nail Polish is a nail polish free of toluene, formaldehyde, DBP (phthalates) and camphor.

Both True and Fleck Effect are available now at professional salons, or online through Zoya.com.

Miss Piggy for MAC and OPI.

When I woke to see multiple sources reporting, I knew I had to dig around and find out more about this Miss Piggy for MAC Collection.

Well, it looks like the collection, for which I do not have an official name, will come out on November 14th. Seriously, I cannot wait.  It is a mini-collection that will only have three products; only one of them is new.  The collection will be online only, and I am sure it will sell out in minutes.  I mean, who better than the pretty pink diva, who was a diva before anyone knew what a diva was, collaborating now with MAC.

The MAC collection will include:

Miss Piggy Pink Eyeshadow
Rapid Black Penultimate Liner
Lashes #36

Yes, she has worked along the side of Anna Wintour, has a new wardrobe courtesy of Zac Posen, the stylish swine also has an OPI Nail Collection. The entire Muppets gang does with the limited edition 12 shade set of nail lacquers, but Miss Piggy does have her own shade, Gettin' Miss Piggy With It!.

What do you think about the upcoming Muppet collaborations? Is Miss Piggy a beauty icon?

Don't forget, the MAC Holiday 2011 images are up!
