One of my beauty staples - Nars Schiap

Tragedy struck the house over the weekend.  A beauty tragedy.  I went to paint my toenails with one of my all time favorite nail colors ever.  EVER.  Nars Schiap. And it had dried up to a gloopy, glob of yuck.  Of course I had had it for a long time so it wasn't a total shock, but I was so sad.

What's so special about this Schiap color? It's a lovely, bright, blue-based pink - his homage to the great fashion designer Elsa Schiaparelli's signature color. It's such a happy, perfect pink. Great for these gloomy days of Winter.  And I wanted it on my tootsies NOW!  I immediately went online and placed and order for some (along with Amlactin which is another one of my "must haves" but we'll save that for another post).  It should be here by the end of the week.  Whew, beauty tragedy turned into triumph!

I have it!

I love Nars makeup, his colors, his formulas - all amazing! I've raved about his blushes, now I'm gonna rave about a nail polish color he has called Schiap. It's a lovely bright, blue-based pink - his homage to the great fashion designer Elsa Schiaparelli's signature color. I am currently sporting it on my tootsies and am loving how it just brightens everything up (including my mood). If you need a little pick-me-up I highly recommend it!
