I almost never write about other beauty brands, but I stumbled across a great non-Lancome product recently. Shocking, I know. : )
I was in a new indie beauty shop in my neighborhood called Shen when I spotted an organic nail polish remover. (The full name is Karma Organic Organic Nail Polish Remover with Soybean Oil and Lavender.) I never expected it would work, but since nail polish remover always smells terrible, I thought I'd give it a try.
Earlier this week, I wanted to switch from wearing my favorite blue-grey Le Gris L'Wren to the ruby Le Rouge L'Wren (both from our holiday collection. Did you read All Lacquered Up's rave about Le Rouge? Amazing! So I grabbed the Karma remover and to my surprise, it worked. Really well! It's also very oily, which I'm hoping is good for my nails.
I'll be sure to break it out again this morning because I'm going to give our spring 2011 purple another test run. It's the coolest color. I wore it once before and everyone asked me what it was. (Even a Gossip Girl asked me to send her a bottle as soon as I could!)
(The photos above are backstage pictures featuring Le Gris, Le Rouge and the spring 2011 purple.)
I'm not sure where you can find Karma, but you can always called Shen. 718-576-2679. (It's Small Business Saturday in the U.S., so it's a good day to buy something from a small business! )
Are you wearing nail polish today? What shade? And did you apply it yourself or get a manicure?
