Get Nailed With Harmonie-Inspired Nail Colors

Posted on September 26th, 2011

It’s time to say buh-bye to the hot pinks, light yellows, and bright blues that adorned fingernails during the summer. Fall is here, so rock a nail color that complements the impending icy chill and shows your sassy side.

Hpnotiq Harmonie-inspired lilac, violet, and deep purple nail polishes are more unexpected than traditional autumn colors, like red, orange, and burgundy, and will give you a royal air on a pauper’s budget. Plus, there are fun finishes from iridescence to rubbery matte, and even a few sparkles thrown in to delight any discerning mani-pedi addict. So go on already and get nailed with these Harmonie-inspired nail lacquers! Continue reading →

Exclusive: Omarion Talks Women & Fashion With Hpnotiq Harmonie

Posted on September 13th, 2011

HPNOTIQ caught up with the uber-talented singer Omarion at last night’s Sammy B after-party at Polar Lounge. The ‘Touch’ singer dished on women’s fashion, his favorite female parts and what he loves most about Fashion Week. Check it out!

What’s the most important aspect of women’s fashion for you?

Heels and how well the clothes fit; that’s the most important thing. When you’re looking at a woman – whether she’s curvy or if she doesn’t have a shape – it all depends on how her clothes fit her. And that’s the secret to looking good. A lot of people don’t know that, but it’s important for your clothes to fit you well. Continue reading →

Guess Presents Fashion’s Night Out: LA Edition

Posted on September 13th, 2011

My anticipation had been building all day as I anxiously awaited 6 p.m. –the official start time of Fashion’s Night Out on Rodeo Drive. Upon arrival, a towering Ferris wheel, rows of food trucks and performers on stilts crowded the street and set the tone for the carnival theme that awaited me at the GUESS store.

As servers in top hats greeted would-be-carnival-goers with mini cupcakes, cheesecake pops and HPNOTIQ Harmonie cocktails, guests received complimentary manicures and makeovers while the line for the photo booth snaked endlessly through the store.

If you’re looking for a girl’s night out, Fashion Night Out is it! Gaggles of gal pals surrounded me sipping and shopping. A shame it’s only one night a year, but that’s also what makes it so special. It’s fashion’s unofficial anniversary.

With my pretty purple drink in hand, I perused the fall fashions being presented by gorgeous models and danced to the tunes of a super stylish DJ. It was still early, but this was exactly what I needed to start the night off right. Continue reading →

Bartender Seth Walsh of Vegas’ Yellowtail

Posted on August 22nd, 2011

When and why did you get into mixology?

I started bartending about three years ago. I just love trying and creating new flavors and the fact that I get to smile and have fun for a living.

 

What would you tell someone who has never been to Yellowtail before?

Embrace the energy, have fun with it and, “Here try this!”

 

What do you love about working behind the bar?
