The colors from left to right are: Satin Treat, Dream Catcher, Afterhours, One Night Only, Showstopper and Call Me Maybe.

Here I am wearing the Call Me Maybe color and it's so South Beach Miami in my opinion! Cheers to Carly Rae Jepsen-hope she wins tonight!

Oh hello my sweet gorgeous friends!
Duri polish makes amazingly durable polish-and I don't say that to make a play on words with the name of the polish!
I have used my Duri colors for a manicure in the morning and then later in the day worked in the garden and my Duri polish did not chip!

This is the Oxblood collection and each polish sells for about $5.00 and can be purchased online or in your favorite beauty store.

The Sangria color is my favorite, it's the one with a bit of shimmer to it, though the classic red is perfect for toes and rockabilly pinup looks.

Here's a bit from the press release to help you choose your best shade-or, just get 'em all and have great reds for the holiday season!

The deep, dark reddish hue, Oxblood, dominated Fall 2012's runways and is the new red!  Oxblood is a color we haven't seen much of until now, but it's a major look for fall.  The intriguing deep maroon that is flattering to almost any skin tone was a hit on runways at Sophie Theallet, Alexander Wang, Derek Lam, Tommy Hilfiger and 3.1 Phillip Lim, among others. It mixes well with almost any other color, making it an investment-worthy color.      

Duri Cosmetics is nailing the trend, providing tips and toes the full effect with Pinot Noir (burgundy) and  Cabernet Sauvignon (dark burgundy) for a drama-inducing touch.  The oxblood trend is accentuated when mixed with similar tones for an ultra-modern look.  Pair a monochromatic outfit with one of Duri's deep reds like Bloody Mary (true red) or Sangria (red with shimmer)Remember: you are beautiful!
