During my time in NYC for Fashion Week Spring 2010 last week I stopped by the fabulous CVS & Robert Verdi lounge. The lounge was full of the latest hot new products at CVS. One of them was Sally Hansen latest HD nail color collection which I was absolutely in love with. The manicurist at the lounge applied Sally Hansen HD Nail Polish in Opulent Cloud: a gorgeous silver, with golden and some purple undertones. This shade is very chic and modern and the icing on the cake: it didn’t chip for  4 days!! I call it: “The Nail Polish That Doesn’t Chip”. It’s currently available at CVS, so go check it out!!

I took images below while I was getting my manicure at the CVS Robert Verdi Lounge in New York, a special event for beauty editors and beauty bloggers:

Tracy Reese For Sally Hansen

Modern, vibrant nail shades inspired by blossoming runway designs. A fashionable collaboration between nail color expert Sally Hansen and designer Tracy Reese. For the eighth season in a row, Sally Hansen has joined forces with fashion icon Tracy Reese to create the ultimate accessory for the feminine yet modern spring wardrobe, inspired by Reese’s visionary spring collection.

INSPIRATION: This season, Tracy Reese’s runway represents a study in contrasts: Architectural designs meet relaxed silhouettes while hard lines and opaque colors are juxtaposed against soft shapes and sheer fabrics. Femininity enlivens ensembles with a focus on draping, ruching and modern embellishments. Intense color combinations, vivacious prints and multi-layered shapes inject Reese’s spring collection with lively appeal. The colors in the Tracy Reese for Sally Hansen collection reflect this emphasis on vivid hues, high contrast and layering. On the runway, Reese layered the molten metallic sheen of Hidden Treasure over a deep ebony base of Midnight in New York, complementing the mood, inspiration and vitality of the runway looks.

The 8 new shades in the limited-edition nail color collection are made with the Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure. This season’s shades include:

Hidden Treasure – clear with multidimensional glitter
Midnight in New York – rich black
Sunflowers – bright yellow
Pomegranate – pinkish red
Dianthus – deep pink
Lagoon – sea blue
Silver Lining – metallic gray
Iced Coffee – light mocha
