Get Linked & Shining Armor

Flirtini, Pink Pong, Sugar High, and Exotic Choice

Slinky Cardigan, Wrapped in Clouds, and Grape Escape

Smokestone, Blue Collar, and Urban Jungle

Nail Treatments

This stuff is amazing! ;)

Shining Armor

A beautiful champagne, gold infused with gold and copper shimmers.This was 2 coats. A very work appropriate color- chic and sophisticated.

Get Linked

A golden, olive with gold and copper shimmers. This one has a slight duochrome effect which is more apparent in person. Another work appropriate/neutral color and one of my must haves from this collection. This was 2 coats.

Flirtini

A bright, neon pink with silver shimmers that dries to a matte finish. This is beautiful alone, but it's true beauty is magnified with a glossy top coat. Bubble gum! :)

Pink Pong

An intensely pigmented hot pink that only requires 1 coat for opacity. Application was a dream and another must have to your collection of pinks.

Sugar High

A magenta with silver lining infused throughout  the bottle. I've said it in the past that frost/shimmer/glitter pink nail polishes are probably one of my least favorite colors. Unfortunately, this was my least favorite. :/ Nonetheless, this color is definitely appropriate for this collection. If you are a pink lover, you just might love this. This was 2 coats.

Exotic Choice

A lovely fuchsia that dries to a satin finish. I love the name and this color will definitely make any outfit ,"pop"! This was 2 generous coats.

Slinky Cardigan

LOL! Believe it or not, but I actually own a cardigan similar to this hue! :) A genius, dusty lavender that leans towards a light grey. Application was flawless with 2 coats. Another must have from this collection!

Wrapped in Clouds

A dusty, lavender leaning towards a light grey. It is very similar to Slinky Cardigan in the bottle, but on the nail, it's a totally different ball park. This was 2 coats.

Grape Escape

Isn't that the cutest lil name ever?! ;) A beautiful grey toned purple that requires 1 generous coat for full opacity. Applied the a dream!

Smokestone

The perfect name for this color, IMO. A dusty powder blue meets grey. This was 2 coats of perfection and another must have in my book!

Blue Collar

A deep cornflower blue that sets itself apart from the other blues in this collection. This was 2 coats and dried to an ultra glossy finish. 

Urban Jungle

An intensely pigmented, dark slate grey that leans toward teal. This was 2 coats and applied like buttah! Another must have for me!

Overall, this collection definitely puts me in the mood for Spring! Whether you want a pop of color(pinks), a vampy color(urban Jungle), or want to keep things neutral(golds), this collection offers 12 great shades to help you transition into Spring! Application on these were a breeze and had the perfect brush for effortless application. 

Get Linked, Slinky Cardigan, Smokestone, and Urban Jungle.

The collection launches February 1, 2012.

Anise nail polishes are sold in many salons especially in the Florida area, but are readily available at DSW shoe stores all around the country. 

Anise nail polishes retail for $6.00 each, but if your purchase them at DSW, there is always an ongoing promotion of Buy 1 get 1 50% off. Two for the price of one, SCORE! ;)

 I love what they stand by:

"We do not mass sell our collections and every color every season “sells out” completely---we do not warehouse our colors. We feel that it is important to always deliver the freshest + latest nail lacquers to our loyal shoppers..once “sold out”…gone."

"We never have and never will use such chemicals. To us, the word “toxic” means only one thing. It is bad for a woman’s health."

As always, hope this helps & happy shopping!

Which are your must have colors? Thoughts?! I'd love to know down below!
