Beauty Stat - For the beauty obsessed who demand the facts not fiction.

Last evening, I went to the Shizuka New York Day Spa to get a Swarovkski Crystal Mani. I had not really heard too much about this salon apart from the fact that it had started the infamous “bird poop” facial. Enough said.

The mani, which costs $45, involves a basic manicure with a hand massage and some Swarovski crystals applied to my nails. Here’s a look with the Blue India Nail Lacquer from the MAC Liberty of London collection. This dark green blue shade has a pearly, creamy finish and is simply sick!

I am waiting to see how long the crystals will last and will keep you posted. My lovely nail aesthetician assured me that even though she applied it with a top coat and then sealed it, it would last as long as a regular mani. So far…so good.

What do you think? Could you rock this shade?
