Allure and butter LONDON Arm Candy Nail Lacquer Collection

For my mani, I opted for a Mod Redux design, using Statement Piece, Front Row and Nude Stiletto

Last month, I stopped by Allure's Beauty Closet to get a sneak peek at the Allure and butter LONDON Arm Candy collection. The limited-edition nail lacquer collection includes ten shades, created to complement the top runway and street-style trends of Fall 2015. 

butter LONDON nail lacquer polishes contain rich pigments for one-stroke coverage that is high-shine and chip-resistant with added benefits like vitamins B, C and E, hydrolyzed silk and horsetail extract. Additionally, all butter LONDON lacquers are 7-free, containing no formaldehyde, formaldehyde resin, dibutyl phthalate, toluene, camphor, ethyl tosylamide, or xylene. 

The collection includes a variety of shades and finishes, including sheer crème, crème, shimmer, textured glitter and metallic. I love all these Arm Candy shades! The colors compliment each other, so they are great to use together and create your own nail design look. 

Six limited-edition full size (.4 fl. oz) lacquers for $15 each:

• Nude Stilettos - A sheer pink-nude, crème
• Statement Piece - An opaque orange-red, crème 
• I'm On The List - A metallic rose-gold
• It's Vintage - An opaque rust, crème
• Disco Nap - A glittery charcoal
• Lust or Must? - An opaque charcoal-brown, crème

Four limited-edition fashion-size (.2 fl. oz.) lacquers, sold as a set for $30

• So Major!: A shimmery loden green
• The Sweet Spot: An opaque dusty pink, crème
• Violet's Revenge: An opaque blue-purple, crème
• Front Row: An opaque wine, crème

Arm Candy is available at all major butter LONDON retailers, including butterlondon.com, ULTA, Sephora, and Nordstrom from August through March 2016.

Whitney Port At Sephora Times Square

Looks from Whitney Eve Fall 2009

Whitney Port and Kim Weling

Shoppers on line waiting to meet Whitney

On Tuesday October 27th, Whitney Port of MTV's The City made a special appearance at Sephora Times Square (42nd St & 7th Ave) with looks on display from the Whitney Eve fall 2009 collection. The event hosted by Allure and Sephora presented customers with a $10 gift card at checkout, to be applied toward their purchase of $10 or more. Customers also received a gift bag including the November issue of Allure and PlantLove botanical lipstick in Eve Pinky by Whitney Port, in collaboration with Cargo Cosmetics. Whitney's signature shade is a flirty, sheer hot pink. The lipstick case is made out of corn, and comes in earth-friendly packaging embedded with wildflower seeds. $2 from the sale of the lipstick goes to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

Attendees eagerly waited their turn to pose for a pic with Whitney and get an autograph. Two lucky attendees won a $100 Sephora gift card.

Check out my re-cap of Whitney's Spring 2010 collection. Whitney carries size XS/0 in her line, so I am all for her chic cocktail dresses.
