Sally Hansen 5-1 favorite for Melbourne Cup

Sally Hansen 5-1 favorite for Melbourne Cup

Over the Melbourne Cup carnival Sally Hansen has their cup marquee all set up and ready to paint the best manicure ever in Federation Square to promote their new group winners for spring.  A collection of nail colors that have 5 steps in 1 bottle.  The polish combines a base and top coat, a strengthening and growth treatment, and a nail color that can last up to 10 days, with a beautiful gel like finish and if you think that is hard try selecting one of the 21 shades.

Sally Hansen will be offering complementary manicures up to cup day with a bonus 25% discount card to use at Priceline on any of the fabulous colors from the new line. You will be so impressed with the rectangular polish applicator rather than the typical thin shape brush. This brush is wonderful; it’s thick and lush and applies the polish in a few quick strokes with no streaks or clumps and no mess. Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure is an all-in-one product that gives you a salon-perfect finish at home.


The team  based at the  Sally Hansen Marque  in the city are just the ticket for race day with a  professional and knowledge team of  manicurists who totally know their  Sally Hansen products and give such great advice,  my poor nails desperately  needed a win so  my color was” Commander In Chic” a great choice from the manicurist.


One part of the manicure that really stuck in my mind was just how gently the nail shaping was I think I tackle my nails as though I am on The Block; I need to have a Sally Hansen touch. Becoming loyal to brand that gives education and a sense of style to their followers is where Sally Hansen stands in the world of beauty.
Putting on a show for the racing cup carnival is no mean feat, so with Anita and Erika who organized the Sally Hansen marquee for their fans here in Melbourne, I can now raise a well manicure hand with a glass of bubby to say “Thank you and cheers!”

Essie studies Stylenomics in nail color

Essie studies Stylenomics in nail color

This is what Essie does best: pure color at its creamy finest. These 6 single-hued shades range from whispering neutrals with a dash of urban freshness, deep wine-rich reds to provide a flash of intensity, to a brooding dark lacquer anchoring them all. The formulas ranged in viscosity from Ã¼ber-pigmentation that barely required more than a coat for full opacity, to slightly thinner flowing â€" although no less color saturated, with all leaving behind a mirror like gloss that is almost dazzling in its brilliance. For Fall 2012 Essie released their Stylenomics collection. According to Essie Stylenomics is a “wealthy, rich and opulent green.”

NEW from Frédéric Malle: Coffret Collections

NEW from Frédéric Malle: Coffret Collections

Twelve years ago, Frédéric Malle asked the most gifted perfumers in the industry to create their dream perfumes. Those many collaborations gave way to a collection of 18 fragrances. 18 perfumes which are now available for the holiday season in three Coffret Collections. While Frédéric believes that an essential part of the fragrance selection process is through the sales staff and “smelling columns” found within each Editions de Parfums boutique, he also likes the exciting and luxurious idea of being able to offer oneself “the entire store.” For this reason, he imagined the three coffrets: the complete collection, the women’s collection and the men’s collection.
“A fragrance is a chronological composition that evolves with time,” says Malle. “The top notes function for about 15 minutes, then leave way to the heart of the perfume, which is its real personality. Some fragrances also change from one skin to the other. These Coffret collections allow the most curious individuals to try each perfume at their own pace and to maybe adopt the one perfume he or she would never have thought of.”

Complete collection ($320): Includes: Musc Ravageur, Une Fleur de Cassie, Le Parfum de Thérèse, Noir Epices, En Passant, Lipstick Rose, Lys Méditerranée, Iris Poudre, Angéliques sous la Pluie, Bigarade Concentrée, Vétiver Extraordinaire, Une Rose, L’Eau d’Hiver, Carnal Flower, French Lover, Dans tes Bras, Géranium pour Monsieur, Portrait of a Lady.
