lancomeaquaticsummer2 Lancome Aquatic Summer Nail Lacquer | New Release

I am a huge fan of nail polish.  In fact, I think I may be an addict.  Even though my personal collection of polish is somewhere in the 250-300 bottle range, it seems that I  can always find new colors to add. 

The new LancomeAquatic Summer collection is no different.  Inspired by the seas in luxe vacation areas around the world, you’ll be transported!  These gorgeous nail lacquer shades in watery hues are perfect for Spring and Summer!

Tips to Apply Airbrush Makeup

temptuairbrush 550 x 396 Tips to Apply Airbrush Makeup

Have you ever wondered how models and their makeup get to be so picture perfect?  There’s a little secret I’m going to let you in on – it’s called airbrush makeup.  In the last couple of years, advancements have been made and airbrush makeup is available to everyone.  However, if you don’t know what you’re doing, it can end up being kind of messy and streaky.  Here are some great tips
 

Cleanse your skin

Make sure that your skin is freshly cleansed and moisturized.  Airbrush makeup is less forgiving than liquid and powder foundations.  If you have dry patches or oily areas, they may be accentuated.  Make sure your skin is completely dry as well.

Get Gel Nails at Home with Sally Hansen Gel Polish

December 28, 2012 By 10 Comments
shgelpolish 525 x 459 Get Gel Nails at Home with Sally Hansen Gel Polish
 
Let me tell you a little bit about my latest love, the Sally Hansen Gel Polish System.  It is easy to use.  It is hard to screw up.  It is fixable, if you do screw it up.  You don’t have to worry about sheet texture if you do your nails at night.  You know what I mean, if you do your nails and go to bed, chances are really good that you will wake up with the weave of your sheets embedded into your nails, no matter how careful you are.   Let me just say, right from the start:  OMG I love this stuff!
 
I have had a love affair with nail polish since I can remember, and lately, with all the wild glitters, finishes and colors, I’ve been in heaven.  But this, my friend, is no ordinary polish, and I might have to re-think what I want in a polish.  When you finish applying this Sally Hansen Gel Polish system, your nails are hard and ready to go!  In fact, I just finished mine, and am typing this review!

Reflections Tea Tree Oil Hair Care System

November 29, 2012 By 46 Comments

teatreepack Reflections Tea Tree Oil Hair Care System

 

I used to go to this salon that, as part of their haircut, did a Tea Tree Oil scalp massage.  That was one of my favorite parts of getting my hair done.  The tingly, cooling sensation.  The smell of the shampoo, and, lets face it – the massage was pretty good too. 

Well, now I can get this same salon experience at home, thanks to Reflections.  Reflections is a line of shampoos and hair care products that are similar in formulation to the big lines that you see in salons.  These products were sold in stores for several years and have become a known brand.  In fact, they’ve been in business for 30 years and are FDA recognized!

Manicure Monday – Essie Miss Fancy Pants

November 19, 2012 By 4 Comments

essiemissfancypants 549 x 550 Manicure Monday Essie Miss Fancy Pants

I decided to go with something kind of neutral this week.  With everything going on, I thought I'd go for something subtle and understated – Miss Fancy Pants by Essie

I will say, when I first received the Essie Miss Fancy Pants nail polish, I wasn't totally sure about it.  I thought it was a little too neutral for me.  However, now that I've worn it a few times, I find that I like the color more and more.  Very understated and elegant.

It takes two coats to get a good, solid coverage.  I didn't have any streaking or dragging issues, just light spots.
