Torched!

So I got this box from my sister yesterday with my brand new nail polish color in it. What's so special about a bottle of nail polish? It's incredibly exciting if your sister, who owns a beauty website, has asked the owner of BB Couture Nail Polish to formulate a color JUST FOR YOU!

Kim (my sister, owner of Overallbeauty.com) and Cindy (owner of BB Couture Nail Polish, beloved by nail polish junkies the world over) have worked together in the past to formulate new colors. Because Cindy is making it up in small batches of a hundred gallons or so, she can try new color ideas out without it being a large cost commitment. And once it hits the shelves, it goes fast because people know it will sell out quickly. So anyway, Kim had this knitted bag made with some glittery purple yarn that she really liked and she asked Cindy if it could the color with the glitter could become nail polish. Balboa Beach Bunny is the result and the color has been a huge hit.



So I got this idea, what if Cindy made a set that was inspired by the colors that you see on hot rod flame paint jobs? (Obviously, I have been hanging with the Harley gang too much!) Those bright sunset oranges, popping candy reds, deep electric blue, mellow yellows and almost magenta purple-pinks and deep night violets?

Witness Torch, the first color is my requested Hot Rod collection. The color just came from the chemist, so wasn't even in a BB Couture bottle yet, but it is undoubtedly one of Cindy's colors. It goes on just as smooth and has the remarkable color depth that really sets her polish apart. I think I'd like it to be a bit more yellow, but I can't WAIT to see what else comes out of the lab to bring flames to the fingers and toes!
