Tease-y Does It…

I can’t vouch for the new musical Burlesque starring Cher and Christina Aguilera, set to be released this Wednesday (though I venture it must be better than the infamous Mariah Carey massacre, Glitter), but I can

Rising Star

confirm that the film hits a high note with over the top styling, including jewelry by Rhode Island’s own Cheap Wholesale Jewelry (no, seriously, that’s the company’s name … the Ocean State is the jewelry capital of the U.S., after all). Inspired by the movie, OPI nail lacquers has released a Burlesque line featuring a dozen shades of red, rust and shimmers in warm metallics, available at Ki-Ra Salon. Manicure mavens who already addicted to OPI‘s vampy varnish can vouch for the fab names of shades, and the Burlesque line doesn’t disappoint: Rising Star, Glow Up Already!, Take the Stage, The Show Must Go On, Sparkle-icious, Bring on the Bling, and my favorite, Tease-y Does It, to name a few. A selection of Burlesque OPI nail lacquers are available at Ki-Ra in Newport (and the glittery shades are perfect for holiday parties).
