The line, comprising 33 different colors including top coats and base coats, soon turned into a full makeup product line, such as lipglosses, eyeshadows, blushes, and bronzes, all of which are coordinated with nail polish hues. Like yin and yang, <strong>Smith &amp; Cult is based on the idea that life and our life choices are intrinsecally contradictory things, which is reflected in a palette that includes both sophisticated nuances and punk colors and glitter<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-126253 img-responsive\" src=\"http:\/\/magazine.theblondesalad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/why.jpg\" alt=\"why\" width=\"900\" height=\"200\" \/>&#8216;Diary of a Beauty Junkie&#8217; is the perfect phrase to describe this brand, which is completely dedicated to the cult of beauty, mixing sensitivity and love for cosmetics with tech research and the new formulas that stem from research and innovation. These nail polishes are extremely durable even without containing any harmful ingredients and while being classified as 8-free. Nothing is left to chance \u2013 the packaging is elegant and refined, and the bottles have unconventional and attractive shapes.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-126254 img-responsive\" src=\"http:\/\/magazine.theblondesalad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/tbs-cuore.jpg\" alt=\"tbs-cuore\" width=\"900\" height=\"200\" \/>We can&#8217;t help loving nail polishes with names such as <em>Glass Soul<\/em> (with silver glitter), <em>Gay Ponies Dancing In The Snow<\/em> (pink glitter) o <em>Dark Like Me<\/em> (dark black). And indeed we fell head over heels for them \u2013 not just for their colors, which are always on top of the latest trends, for how nice and shiny they look even a long time after application! They seem to be singing love me, love me, say that you love me&#8230; and what could we ever answer to that?<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 100%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-126674 gallery-columns-1 gallery-size-post_listing_preview'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.theblondesalad.com\/en\/base-coat-basis-of-everything\/'><img width=\"390\" height=\"585\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theblondesalad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Base-Coat-Basis-Of-Everything.jpg\" class=\"attachment-post_listing_preview size-post_listing_preview\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-126675\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt>\n\t\t\t\t<dd class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-126675'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/rstyle.me\/n\/cqhqsnm2gw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Base Coat &#8211;
