NARS Summer 2012

First and last picture shows truer colors of duo. I tried to capture holographic effect in sunlight, I dont know if I had any success... I am not very good at taking pictures I guess

Thanks so much! I really want this e/s duo from this collection. I think it'll look amazing witht he Cap Ferrat trio from last year's Summer collection.

Omg, that duo is mine!!! Must have!

Liberte looks interesting! And those nailpolishes look amazing for the summer.

Oooh i'm loving Liberte. I had been wanting to try Gina or Gilda for sometime however, when i went to swatch them, i wasn't really taken back by them and already own blushes close enough in shade to them. I would like to give Liberte a try out since as the other member commented, looks like a darker version of both.

Thank you for the lovely swatches!

Hi Ladies, I am glad you found my pictures helpful. I am on the fence about eyeshadow duo and so I didnt swatched it, only tested with brush.Its gorgeous colors, but afraid not for me.. I just love blush. I've tried Gina and Gilda before. Compare to both, I say Liberte is darker sister of Gilda.Liberte has enough red in it to give radiant glowing look, while Gina was just too orange for my pale skin. I also was surpised that eyeshadow duo and blush worked together quite well. Very unexpected color combination, but somehow it works

On the NY Times blog, it is said the Thakoon nail collection will be available May 1st.
Since special collections / lines are usually released 2 weeks or so after a seasonal collection, it's possible that the summer collection will be available in mid april. That's just a guess though.

Edit: The pure matte lipstick is called Moscow.
The eyeshadow trio is called Ramatuelle.

I found some little descriptions of Trio and Liberte blush.
Here's some excerpt.

• Sculpt the cheeks with Liberté Blush (new for Summer 2012, for now use Irrésistiblement Bronzing Powder)
• Apply the icy peach shade of Ramatuelle Trio Eyeshadow (new for Summer 2012, for now use the sparkling sheer peach shade of Delphes Trio Eyeshadow)

As I said, I think the blush is a darker version of Gina or Gilda since the description said it's similar to Brozing powder, so I think it's good for the people who has dark/tanned skin.


and here's a photo and it said Rihanna wore Liberte blush!

One of the reasons I love Specktra is that it's a great way to find cool ideas I never would have thought of.

Thank you for the info! Is Liberte a universal shade?

Can anyone tell me how often nars releases collections?

NARS does one collection per season, so 4 collections per year. On top of that, they have an additional collection for the holiday season that usually consists of limited editions palettes and gift sets. Once in a while they release new lines of products (like the tinted moisturizers and the new lipglosses for example), usually, a couple of weeks after seasonal collections.

Hi,

Thanks for posting the pictures, it looks great. Ramatuelle is pretty, Marie Galante and Vendanges too, the whole collection is really gorgeous.

i love it... nice bright colors!

 

[cutemiauw]

Oh my, Liberte blush is so pretty! I'm looking for a nice neutral bronzer type. If this one could double as that, it's coming home with me

I finally found the name of the nail polish, yay! It's called Trouville.

And yes, again, this comes from eBay.

Hi,

Thanks for posting, it looks really pretty.

I have many duos from Nars but this one " Marie Galante " is gorgeous. The summer 2011 collection was nice but this one is much better I think.

Come to me, Marie-Galante!!!! The lipstick looks more brown in the photo, but I'm hoping it's closer to the plummy colour it appears to be in some of the individual photos we've seen. I seriously cannot wait for this one...
