Hi everyone! This morning I received a very exciting piece of information from Julep Nail Parlor. They are starting a new form of referral program, called Share On! The best part?

I am a HUGE fan of The Hunger Games trilogy, so when I heard that China Glaze had a Hunger Games-themed collection in the works, I got very excited! Today I received the official promo picture with the names of the upcoming polishes. They look so beautiful, and I think I want every single one :)

I saw a preview of Essie's upcoming Fall 2011 collection and knew I had to pass it on. The collection is called Brand New Bag, and all the polishes have cute names that refer to different purses. I think it is a nice idea, and it makes the polishes feel really luxe.

I just found out that the OPI Holiday 2011 polishes are going to have a Muppets theme! I remember watching the Muppets when I was younger, and I am so excited to have some Muppets colors. It seems like there will be 6 glitters, and 6 other polishes just like the Burlesque Collection.

Serena Williams and OPI teamed up to create nail polish collections that correspond to the Grand Slam tennis tournaments. The first pairing included Simply Smash-ing, a gorgeous green-gold, and the now-famous Black Shatter.

Zoya has some new summer collections coming out: Sunshine, Summertime, and some new Mod Mattes.  Sunshine is going to consist of six polishes that are "infused with a glowing golden metallic sparkle," according to Zoya's website. Summertime will be six cremes in "bold, luscious shades." The mattes should have the same finish as previous Zoya matte polishes, but the website offers no description.

Check out the promo pictures for the matte polishes.
