Pierre Hardy for NARS Collection

Fashion aficionados everywhere jumped for joy when NARS announced its collaboration with shoe designer Pierre Hardy. Inspired by Hardy's summer 2013 shoe collection, the brilliant Pierre Hardy for NARS Collection consists of two large blush palettes and six nail polish duos. 

As an homage to Hardy's use of bold color and patterns, both oversized blush palettes showcase bright, highly pigmented shades. Each one also features Hardy’s iconic cubic print in a gold shimmer overspray. I absolutely love Boys Don't Cry, an electric red-pink with a touch of coral. It matches so well with the Vertebra nail duo. I'd be super careful with the application – it's quite easy to overdo it. Use a fan brush if you have it. Either way, this blush will last a very long time, even with regular use.

Of the six nail duos, I love the Vertebra set (coral and dusty rose) the most. Each pair is packaged in a mini shoe box. It even comes with a tiny dust bag to store your nail polish – how darling is that? The no-chip formula is on the thicker side, so it's essential to work quickly to avoid clumping. I recommend two coats to achieve an opaque finish. It's been about a week and I hardly see any chipping, other than the tips wearing down a bit.

His shoes are always so eye-catching. A little high for my comfort level. But beautiful looking, nonetheless.

I feel the same way, but it never hurts to look at them! :)
