LA & NY: Free Manicures Courtesy of Kirstie Alley's Big Life

Kirstie Alley's got a new reality show Big Life on A&E, and they're promoting this weekend with free manicures in LA and NY! The manicures are with an exclusive Essie color made just for the show. It's called "Life. Lick it." and is actually quite nice. It's a deep purple, which I would consider more of a fall color, but I like it so much I might wear it into spring.

You can get your complimentary manicure at Dashing Diva, Rehoboth Spa and Spa Bells in New York and Bellacures, Nail Garden, Deluxe Nail Bar and Dashing Diva in Los Angeles. For details and a complete list of locations, go to aetv.com.

Oh, and you get a free bottle of "Life. Lick it." to take home! This is all while supplies last. If you're in New York and going out in the rain, God speed.

Trends: Flat, Matte, No Shine Nails

In case you can't tell, I love nail polish! It's an easy way to feel like you can change your look or be experimental with your color choices without commitment. It's also pretty affordable and doesn't take up much closet space. Anyways I've been noticing alot of no shine nail polishes on the market lately thanks to KO Knock Out Cosmetics Flatte and ManGlaze Matte Nail Polish.

KO Flatte comes in a new red called Karen (ala Karen O of Yeah Yeah Yeahs), Powder Ivory, Calamine Pink, Flatte Black. ManGlaze comes in The Death Tar Black and Fuggen Ugly Grey.

Anyways as I was getting my nails done yesterday courtesy of some love OPI ladies, (YES! I love OPI, they have the best coverage, close second is Essie). I started wondering if someone would create something I would call Transformers! Nail polish that would change the way that nail polish you already owns looks. Here are some of my ideas, do you have any others?

1. Make shiny nail polish matte.
2. Make solid colors pearlized
3. Make colors look marbled
4. Make colors look lighter or deeper

Dear nail powers at OPI do you hear me??? If you do, I'd love a shade named Sugar Rock Catwalk!
