Who says the sequel is never as good as the first?
Well here at ThisThatBeauty, things get sweeter the second time around!
Yesterday I went on and on like a schoolgirl about the rad-ness of OCC‘s “Dangerous†Nail Colour. I gave major props to “Dangerous†for being a great alternative to Hello Kitty “On the Prowlâ€.
Well…little did I know, the roles are actually reversed. According to the OCC record books, “On the Prowl†is an alternative to “Dangerous†and not the other way around. When “Dangerous†first came on the scene, “On the Prowl†wasn’t even a glimmer in MAC’s eyes.
Leave it to the CEO and Creative Director of OCC Cosmetics, David Klasfeld, to set the record straight on which polish started the trend. According to David, “Dangerous” was introduced in 2007 as OCC‘s first ever nail lacquer creation. “Dangerous†was designed for the original Dangerous Beauty exhibit at the Chelsea Art Museum in New York City.
“Dangerous†was given out as swag in the gift bags and the OCC team actually gave manicures to guests on the show floor. At first “Dangerous†was only available in the Museum Gift Shop, but due to rave reviews and unprecedented demand, OCC made it available online.
Shortly thereafter “Dangerous†went on to be featured as MTV’s number one pick for Fall 2008 Back to School…and now here it is again, featured on ThisThatBeauty J
David thinks that MAC may have taken a note from OCC in this instance.
Well ‘scuse me and shut my mouth!
David: We agree. OCC is definitely the gray trailblazer. Thanks for setting us straight!
GIVE-A-WAY ALERT!!!
To show that there’s no love lost or hard feelings (all’s fair in love and makeup:)), OCC is sending three bottles of “Dangerous†loving our way. That’s right, three “Dangerousâ€ly lucky ThisThatBeauty bellas will win a bottle of “Dangerous” Nail Colour.
Ladies (and gents who wear nail polish – how you doin‘?), you know the drill:
- US residents only
- Leave a comment with your email address
- One comment per person
- Three winners will be chosen at random
- You will have until April 1 to leave a comment
Thank you David and OCC for a rockin‘ good give-a-way…and the education!
“Dangerous”ly in Love,
Felicia

This is just beautiful! I was actually able to pick up On The Prowl so I won’t be entering. I want to give the other lovelies a better chance =)
Sidenote – Were you interested in my ManGlaze giveaway? Not sure since you didn’t really specify. Just let me know since I’ll be drawing names on Friday.
Cool color, I haven’t tried anything like that yet. Seems more low-key than black, less formal, weddingy than white.
I think the gray nail trend is sexy (spelled out not so much, but on a hand-definitely).
What a very interesting grey color!

I will luv anything that describes the opposite of my shy personality and my numbs will luv a make over!!
