Color Street’s Lip Revival 2025

Color Street’s Lip Revival 2025: Your Favorite Shades Just Got a Glow Up!

Ladies (and gents who love a good pout), it’s time to pucker up πŸ’‹ because Color Street’s lipsticks just got a MAJOR upgrade, and they’re more gorgeous and nourishing than ever!

We’ve taken the lipstick you already adore and given it a luxurious new twist - formulation updates that deliver even more comfort, care, and confidence in every swipe.

Get ready to welcome back four beloved core shades, celebrate one limited-edition favorite that’s here to stay, and meet a brand-new beauty that’s destined to be your next go-to. Oh, and did I mention we’ve added anti-aging goodness to the mix? Yes, your lips are about to thank you in the most glamorous way possible.

What’s New in the Lip Revival?

Our upgraded lipstick formula is like a self-care spa day for your lips - only faster and without the cucumber water.😊

Now infused with hyaluronic acid (to plump and hydrate) and ceramides (to lock in moisture and keep lips feeling silky), these revamped shades will leave your pout ultra-soft, smooth, and beautifully nourished.


The benefits? Oh honey, there are plenty:

  • 12 hours of lasting color – Your lips will look flawless from coffee to cocktails.

  • Moisturizing & nourishing – No more midday lip desert.

  • Comfortable & longwearing – Stays put without feeling heavy.

  • Smudge resistant – Because no one likes lipstick on their teeth.

  • Dermatologist tested – Confidence in every tube.

  • Clean, vegan, and cruelty free – Beauty without compromise.

Meet the Shades You’ll Be Obsessed With

πŸ’– NEW! Petal – An ethereal rosy-mauve with a satin finish. The “your lips but better” shade that works for literally every occasion.


πŸ’– NEW! Rose – A perfect pinky nude with a velvet finish. Subtle, chic, and endlessly wearable.


πŸ’‹ Starlet – A classic, vivid blue-red with a matte finish. Your bold, Hollywood moment in a tube.


πŸ’‹ Baddie – A sultry berry-plum with a satin finish. Because sometimes your lips deserve drama.


πŸ’‹ VIP – An airy pink-mauve with a velvet finish. Soft, feminine, and oh-so-pretty.


πŸ’‹ Flawless – A dreamy nude pink with a matte finish. Your go-to everyday glam.


Why You’ll Love It Even More

The new Lip Revival 2025 isn’t just about color - it’s about care. With the hydrating boost of hyaluronic acid and the protective power of ceramides, your lips will stay moisturized and comfortable for hours, without fading, feathering, or cracking.

This is lipstick that works as hard as you do - keeping up from your morning meeting to that late-night Netflix binge (no judgment here).


When Can You Get Your Hands on It?

These revamped beauties are available now! And trust me - you’ll want to get them. With four fan-favorites making a return, one limited-edition shade becoming a permanent star, and two brand-new colors that are already stealing hearts, this release is pure lipstick magic.

πŸ’„ Clean. Vegan. Cruelty Free. Your lips, your rules.

Get ready to swipe, smile, and slay all day - because Lip Revival 2025 is the upgrade your makeup bag’s been waiting for. 

Thank you so much for stopping by today!


Until next time ...

Back to School = Back to Nails! Teacher Gift Ideas

Can you believe it’s that time already? The school supplies are out, lunchboxes are chosen, and the first-day jitters are in full swing. While kids are gearing up for new adventures in the classroom, there’s another important group we can’t forget: the teachers!

Let’s be real - teachers are superheroes in sensible shoes, and they deserve to feel appreciated, pampered, and polished (literally!). So whether you're a fellow mama looking to spoil your child’s new teacher or just love giving thoughtful little gifts, I’ve got you covered with some perfect teacher gift ideas.

Why Nail Sets Make the Perfect Teacher Gift

Let’s talk about why Color Street nail strips are an A+ gift:

  • Quick & Easy – No need to book a salon visit. These nail strips go on in minutes and last for days - perfect for busy teachers on the go.

  • No Mess, No Fuss – No smudges, dry time, or chipping. Because ain't nobody got time for that during lunch duty.

  • Affordable & Thoughtful – One set gives that luxe self-care feel without the luxe price tag.

  • Cute AF – Let’s be honest, a fun mani can boost anyone’s confidence - even when grading papers past bedtime.

Top 5 Teacher Gift Ideas with Color Street

Here are some adorable and affordable gift ideas to help you treat those dedicated educators like the queens (or kings!) they are:

🍎 1. "Nailed It!" Gift Bag

Fill a small gift bag with:

  • One Color Street nail strip set (something classic like “Meet Me In Paris” or fun like “Glow Getter”)

  • A mini nail file

  • A handwritten card that says, “You totally NAILED it this year!”

Wrap it up with a cute ribbon and boom - instant appreciation.


☕ 2. Coffee & Color Combo

Pair a nail set with a gift card to their favorite coffee shop. Because caffeine and cute nails? That’s how teachers survive the school year. Pop them in an envelope with a note that says:

“Thanks a LATTE for all you do!”

Bonus: Add a nail set with coffee tones or neutrals like “Espresso Martini” from the new Hollywood Noir Fall Collection.


✏️ 3. Classroom Survival Kit

This one’s both fun and functional. Create a small teacher survival kit with:

  • Color Street nail set

  • Travel-size hand sanitizer

  • A few cute pens

  • Lip balm

  • Some chocolate or gum

Package it all in a pencil case or small makeup pouch with a tag that reads:

“Here’s to surviving the school year in style!”


 πŸ§ 4. Sweet Treat & Sparkle

Drop off a homemade (or store-bought - no judgment here!) cupcake with a wrapped Color Street set attached and a note:

“You’re the icing on the cupcake… and you deserve a little sparkle, too!”

Who wouldn’t love that?


✨ 5. Teacher Appreciation Bundle

Going big? Create a full mini-pamper bundle:

  • 2–3 coordinating nail sets

  • Cuticle oil or hand cream

  • Scented candle

  • A thank-you card with a heartfelt note

This is a great option for the teacher who’s made a huge difference in your child’s life. It’s thoughtful, personal, and guaranteed to make them feel like a million bucks.


Bonus: Get the Kids Involved!

Let your child help choose the nail sets or draw a picture for the card. It adds a sweet, personal touch teachers will absolutely love.


Gift Giving Made Easy

Don't forget, Color Street nail sets are compact, ship easily, and you can even stock up on a few for last-minute gifts or appreciation surprises throughout the year.

You can grab all the goodies right from my site (link below) and if you need help choosing colors or want to bundle up a few ideas, message me! I’d love to help you create the perfect gift that’ll make their first week back a little more beautiful.

Color Street’s Hollywood Noir Collection is Stealing the Show – And My Heart!

I’m a Summer Girl… But This Fall Collection Has Me Feeling Some Type of Way

Listen - I’m a summer girl, through and through. Give me poolside margaritas, glittery toes in flip flops, and bright, fruity nails and I am one happy flamingo. But even I have to admit … fall has its perks. Cozy sweaters, crunchy leaves, bold nail shades, and crisp morning air that doesn’t immediately frizz your hair? Yes, please! (Just don’t come near me with anything pumpkin-flavored - we're not doing that.)

🎬 Cue the spotlights, because the Hollywood Noir Fall Collection has arrived - and it’s giving full-on leading lady energy.

This collection is like stepping into an old black-and-white film, except your nails are in full, glorious technicolor. We’re talking dark, decadent, and drop-dead glamorous. I may still be clinging to summer with one hand (and a pool floatie), but my other hand? Covered in fall shimmer, and honestly… not mad about it.

Let’s take a peek at the stars of this show:


⭐ Velvet Dahlia

A dark maroon shimmer that says “I’m here to slay,” whether you’re walking the red carpet or just strutting into Target.

⭐ Spotted Scandal

Leopard print + glitter + ombrΓ© = a nail strip that roars. This one’s giving “I might start drama, but I’ll do it fashionably.”


⭐ Espresso Martini

Coffee lovers, this one’s for you. A latte-to-chocolate ombrΓ© with gold shimmer—it's basically your favorite fall drink… for your fingertips.

⭐ Truffle Affair

Smooth, creamy, light brown perfection. It’s giving “quiet luxury” and pairs well with literally everything (including sass).

 ⭐ Whispered Secrets

A deep grape shimmer with silver flakes. This one’s mysterious, moody, and probably knows all your secrets.
  

⭐ Cognac Confession

Deep burgundy with blue and copper glitter. You’ll feel like you're wearing a velvet gown and a bold lip—without the dry cleaning bill.

 ⭐ Bourbon & Bookshelves

Plaid. Glitter. Taupe. This cozy cutie is basically your favorite sweater and a good book in nail form.
  

⭐ Laurel Canyon

An olive green with holographic shimmer that says “I'm effortlessly cool and probably own vinyl records.”

 ⭐ Mulholland Blue

Sapphire blue with holographic glitter. This one’s bold, mysterious, and definitely not playing background roles.
  

⭐ Untamed Teal

Dark teal jelly with leopard print. If fall had a wild child, this would be it.


Why I’m Kinda Swooning

I didn’t think I was ready to trade my flamingo float for fuzzy socks, but this collection has me reconsidering my entire seasonal identity. The rich tones, the sparkle, the drama—it’s giving everything I didn’t know I needed. And trust me, once you slap one of these bad boys on your nails, you’ll be ready to dive into a pile of leaves like the Fall Queen you are - minus the pumpkin spice. Because I said what I said.

So, What’s a Girl to Do?

Well, first—head over to Bowmanitaville Mani’s & Margarita’s on Facebook, where I spill all the tea, share first looks, run fun games, and occasionally overshare about my love for flamingos and margaritasπŸ˜† You’ll get the inside scoop, access to exclusive deals, and a whole bunch of other nail-obsessed beauties to gush over the latest releases with.

These fall shades are limited edition, and we all know what that means … blink and they’re gone. So don’t wait until the leaves change - grab your favorites and let your nails have their Hollywood moment.

Final Thoughts From Your Favorite (Still-Sunning) Sass Queen

I might not be ready to let go of sunshine, margaritas, or summer nails just yet … but when fall shows up dressed like this? You better believe I’ll make room for a little mystery, moodiness, and movie-star glam 😍
And no, you still can’t convince me to try the pumpkin loafπŸ˜–


Until next time

Mediterranean Summer Has Arrived

Let Your Nails Set Sail

Close your eyes for a second… imagine a breeze coming off the sparkling blue coast, a cocktail in your hand, and the soft glow of summer sun on your skin. Now open your eyes and look down — because your nails should be just as sun-kissed and fabulous!

Color Street’s Mediterranean Summer Collection is finally here, and let me just say: it’s the vacation your mani and pedi have been dreaming about. This collection brings together the rich, vibrant energy of coastal cities with the breezy, carefree vibes of a tropical escape. With 10 brand-new manicure shades and 2 stunning pedicure shades, there’s something for every summer-loving soul.


Let’s Talk Shades, Shall We?

Each new design is like a little postcard from paradise, and I’m here to give you the grand tour:

Dragon Fruit (Mani & Pedi) A lush, shimmery fuchsia that’s as juicy as its name. If you like your color bold and your toes ready for flip-flops — this is the set for you!


Deep Sea (Mani & Pedi) A mystical blend of muted periwinkle and purple glitter that feels like scuba diving in sparkles.

Flipping Your Fins Glittery mermaid scale perfection with a gradient of gold, yellow, orange, and magenta. Yes, Ariel would approve.

Tiled Terrace Inspired by Mediterranean mosaics, this pale pink base features intricate floral tile patterns in bold orange, magenta, and blue. Sophisticated meets sassy.

Cool Down This aqua-to-cerulean crème gradient is like a dip in the clearest pool on the Amalfi Coast. Refreshed is an understatement.

Zesty - From tangerine to grapefruit pink, this frost-finish gradient gives citrus vibes and summer sass.

Olive Branch - A bold, shimmery olive green that’s unexpectedly glam. Pair it with gold accessories and watch the compliments roll in.

Private Beach - This pink, gold, and holographic glitter blend sparkles like a secret cove at sunset. You’ll never want to come off vacation.

Ride the Wave - A semi-sheer mix of bold blue waves, cadet blue, cornflower, and silver glitter — it’s like the tide rolled right onto your fingertips.

Ocean View - A bold royal blue and teal clear-scattered glitter that twinkles like sun on the sea. Wear it over your favorite shade or rock it solo.



Why You’ll Love This Collection:

  • Instant summer mood — even if you’re stay-cationing in your backyard.
  • Gorgeous glitter + gradients for all your pool parties, BBQs, and yacht-less yachting.
  • Mani-pedi perfection — yes, they coordinated your fingertips and your flip-flop game.
  • No appointment necessary. Just peel, press, and party!


How to Get Your Hands (and Feet) on Them

The Mediterranean Summer Collection officially launched, and I’ve got your front-row seat to all the summer sparkle! These shades are limited edition, so once they’re gone, they’re swimming off into the sunset.
