Twilight Star Ashley Greene at Rock & Republic Party

My dear friend & Celebrity Makeup Artist, Victoria Rowe, who also happened to do makeup for Twilight star Ashley Greene told me about the Rock & Republic Robertson Store Opening Party last night in LA. 

Ashley Greene looked simply elegant in a little black dress, fresh short hair cut, and clean makeup.

I also love Ashley Greene’s nail polish which is very neutral.

Try Essie in Ballet Slippers for an Ashley Greene inspired  look!

MAC Peppermint Patti Nail Polish

In my recent Avon lip colors video giveaway I wore MAC Nail Polish in Peppermint Patti, which happens to be my absolute favorite lately. 

Here is a photo from my video to demonstrate (btw-I’m holding Avon Spectra Color Lipstick):

MAC Sugarsweet collection, described as Creamy mint green (Cream).

MAC Peppermint Patti Nail Polish is a minty or almost aquatic shade which looks great by the beach or by the pool in the summer.

Actually, many of Talking Makeup’s viewers gave me compliments and loved my nails all lacquered up in MAC Peppermint Patti. Thank you guys! You are the BEST:)
