With the movie coming out in less than 2 months, beauty companies are already rolling out with Alice In Wonderland inspired products. I’m really looking forward to the movie and these new products look so cute! Are you guys getting anything?

Urban Decay’s Alice In Wonderland Book Of Shadows contains 16 best-selling eyeshadows (with cute names like White Rabbit, Jabberwocky, Oraculum too!), a travel-size Primer Potion and two 24/7 Eye Pencils. The palette will be available at www.urbandecay.com tomorrow, January 15th.

OPI has also created an Alice In Wonderland collection with two reds, a glittery blue and a glittery black. Check out swatches and more pics at All Lacquered Up!

OPI Mod About Brights Collection Nail Lacquer Review and Photos

I finally caved into the neon craze and got myself a few neon nail polishes from OPI Mod About Brights Collection.

The collection debuted in mid-April this year and contains six shockingly bright colors to match the mod theme of the Sixties.

Not only do these nail polishes look delicious, they are uber creamy, decently pigmented, non-streaky and they stay on really well with a base coat and top coat. Check them out when you get a chance!

How To Wear Bright Nail Polish
* Bright colors look best on short, round nails.

* People have always matched their nail polishes with their lipsticks but the latest “it” way to do it is to match your nail polish with your eye makeup (just like the model on top).

* For a truly mod look, wear the same color on all ten fingers and pair with a simple outfit.

* Copy Asian celebrities and models by wearing different colors on different fingers or using different colors on the same finger to create think polka dots, stripes etc. for a cuter look.
