Something Blue: Color Trend for 2010

pantoneWhat’s hot for 2010?  Cool Turquoise.

Pantone, those responsible for the color charts and worldwide color trend, has selected PANTONE® 15-5519 Turquoise to rule for 2010.

Because of its versatility, Turquoise is a great accent color in jewelry, purses, shoes, hair accessories and even nail polish for women, and ties, shirts and sportswear for men. ~Pantone

pantone_2010colorofyearOne of the prettiest turquoises I have found is available at Sally Beauty.  Unfortunately, the color photographs a little too Robin Blue – it is pretty true to the blue green tones above.  A rich creme with a very high shine, it is very flattering on a broad spectrum of skin tones. Try it, you’ll like it!

Turquoise and brown is one of my favorite color combinations.  There are many ways to play up this color that is meant to uplift spirits after the dour economy we’ve had.  The beautiful color “represents escape” – one of the reasons it was selected by Pantone.

Did we all survive the holidays? We’ve got one last one coming up, but I consider New Year’s Eve the day of rest, so to speak. It is a night for dinner, dancing, drinking – whatever it is you want to do. You do it for yourself.

lorealHere’s another little thing for you too. L’Oreal’s Special Offers page, giving you printable coupons and info on newspaper coupons (a bit of a shock). Take advantage and peruse before you hit the stores. You may shave a few dollars off of that coveted product you want – like the highly touted Telescopic explosion mascara!

I Spy: OPI Alice In Wonderland

opi_aliceinwonderland_closeup
L to R: Thanks So Muchness; Mad As A Hatter; Absolutely Alice; Off With Her Red

I didn’t have my camera set to a high enough resolution, BUT you can see these are pretty amazing. Both reds could be replaced, but Thanks is gorgeous to the point of looking like racing car paint. Off With Her Red is a creme we have seen a million times before and can be skipped completely . However, Mad As A Hatter and Absolutely Alice are brilliant glitters. AA is not a solid blue, it is sprinkled with round silvers.

OPI’s Alice In Wonderland releases everywhere in January.
