Put two beloved brands together, combine one’s love for colour and the other’s technical expertise in creating great makeup and you’ve got the bright and bold NARS + Pierre Hardy collab collection, a lineup of makeup essentials that’s guaranteed to chase the Monday blues away.

Due to be launched in Singapore come June 2013 at TANGS Orchard, you’ll find it hard resisting the 5 pairs of nail polish sets and the 2 compact blusher sets. Distinctly Pierre Hardy, the blush palettes (SGD65 each) feature the designer’s cubic print inspired by his cuffs, which you can get now online via Net-A-Porter, by the way.

The nail polishes are even more adorable, each pair packed into a small Pierre Hardy dust bag and presented in a tiny shoe box, which is a good enough reason to get myself a set (I’ll give the polishes away and keep the packaging). Priced at SGD43 a pair, expect fun and colourful hues, with everything from shades of dusty rose, coral and orange to darker ones like burgundy and navy.

Clockwise from top left: Sharks (Yellow, Lavender), Sharplines (Orange, Burgundy), Vertebra (Coral, Dusty Rose), Ethno Run (Orange, Navy), Easy Walking (Rose Gold, Camel)

And if you’re willing to go the extra mile and complete the look, there are a sprinkling of shoes for the ladies in the same hues used in the makeup collection. I don’t know exactly how much they will retail for or where you can find them in Singapore, though I think you could try checking with Club21 at Four Seasons Hotel.
