NARS Summer 2011 Collection: I Have a Blue Crush on the NARS Summer 2011 Collection
When I look at the colors in the new NARS Summer 2011 collection, every cell in my body wants me to do this:
I wonder what prompted this 11-piece release. I tin can imagine François Nars, all tan and relaxed from a kick-ass beach vacay, dreaming upwards these playful colors considering the teal, coral, citrus and cantaloupe fit the tropics to a (surf) T.
But there'southward much more to the collection than that. An opaque white nail polish and warm, shimmery gold and argent metallics join the punchy, vibrant hues. Past all appearances, someone had a nail this time effectually.
While the NARS Bound 2011 and Holiday 2010 collections reminded me of cocktail dresses, squeamish heels and white wine spritzers at a bar in the Fiscal District downtown, this drove reminds me of a girl on vacation in Hawaii. She'due south cruising around the island in a rented jeep with her surfboard in back. After catching a few waves, she stops by a embankment bar, tucks a hibiscus behind her ear, and charms the bartender, who serves her costless umbrella drinks all night long. 🙂
NARS Summer 2011 includes a mix of limited edition colors and items to be added to the NARS permanent line.
The Total Collection
Cap Ferrat Trio Eyeshadow (limited edition), $45
If I were a mermaid, I'd swim laps for this trio of sea bluish powder eyeshadows. They draw inspiration from the Alpes-Maritimes region of Southeast France.
Dogon Duo Eyeshadow (express edition), $33
Named afterward the people of Republic of mali's key plateau, this duo includes a metallic taupe with a green sheen and charcoal black eyeshadows. Oh, bending the shades together gives the charcoal a green cast.
Exotic Dance Duo Eyeshadow (limited edition), $33
This eyeshadow duo was a pretty slice of mixed metal jewelry in a by life. The metal gold, and metallic white with a silvery sheen, contrast with the bright blues and greens.
Queen Soft Bear on Shadow Pencil (express edition), $24
This creamy, citrusy pencil contains flecks of gold glitter. It does triple duty as a liner, a highlighter and/or a base of operations for powder shadows.
Wonder Lip Gloss, $24
A shiny, sheer mandarin orangish gloss with pinkish and gilded shimmer. Wouldn't this looking fantastic with a tan?
Bolero Velvet Matte Lip Pencil, $24
NARS named this pinky cantaloupe matte pencil after slow-tempo Latin music (a la bolero).
Carthage Pure Matte Lipstick, $25
Sometimes I feel similar I learn more than about geography from NARS than I did in school, LOL! This hot pink matte lipstick was named after the in one case famous city in the Gulf of Tunis. Who knew?
Mayflower Lipstick, $24
A sheer raspberry with a shimmery cease, this easy-to-wear lipstick pairs well with the collection's bold teal eyes.
New Order Highlighting Blush, $27
Fourth dimension to bump some Bizarre Dear Triangle and Temptation! Hmm…was François listening to one my favorite bands of all time when he named this soft pinkish pulverization blush with aureate and argent shimmer?
Ecume Blast Polish (limited edition), $17
This opaque white shine sounds like a deluxe version of the White Out mani/pedi's I used to give myself in unproblematic schoolhouse.
Kismet Boom Smoothen (express edition), $17
A metallic sunflower yellowish smoothen to requite shimmer and sparkle to fingers and nails.

Even though I oasis't seen the nail polishes in person yet, and I'm non crazy about prices in the $17-45 range, I honey everything else nigh the heart, cheek and lip products in this release. The colors evoke long, lazy days at the beach spent surfing, eating shave ice and just hanging out with El Hub, and they actually accommodate this island-loving girl. François baby, ya done good!
