Lippmann Collection – Boom Boom Pow

Lippmann_Holiday_Collection_Boom_Boom_Pow

Last winter, Modern Mix Vancouver featured Lippmann Collection’s Marquee Moon, a glittery, silver nailpolish color reminiscent of a disco ball crossed with holiday tinsel.  This year, just in time for the 2010 holiday season, try out Boom Boom Pow, a luxurious nail lacquer with an explosion of glimmering 24-karat gold flecks!  A little bit too flashy for everyday wear, but perfect for a fashionable winter party. It’s apparently inspired by Kate Moss, but I think the Black Eyed Peas may have been an inspiration as well!  Boom Boom Pow and other nailpolish in the Lippmann collection retail for $24 at Murale at Oakridge Centre and are “big three free” of Toluene, Formaldehyde and Dibutyl Phthalate.

Vancouver 2010 Olympics – Canada Wins Gold in Men’s Hockey

The intersection of Robson and Granville in downtown Vancouver was party central when the crowds started spilling out of local bars and restaurants after Canada wins Gold against Team USA for Men’s Hockey. No use fighting against the crowd, you literally could not move, and could only let the sea of red push you….somewhere. People were hanging off bus stops, street signs and fire hydrants to get a better view.
