New York Fashion Week Beauty: Backstage at Kate Spade Spring 2013
Ever wonder what goes on backstage at a New York Fashion Week runway show? I always imagined it to be a flurry of stylists, false eyelashes, hairspray, and gorgeous models.

Manicure Monday: Neon Brights
Happy Manicure Monday, beauty lovers! I wanted today’s manicure to be fun and different. Something that looks difficult, but really isn’t. You can’t get a complicated-looking manicure using only one color (I don’t think!), so the key to this mani is using a lot of bright colors that stand out against each other. Love this […]
Manicure Monday: Faux Claws
The thing I might love most about nail polish is how versatile it is. You can take the same colors and apply them in different ways to get completely different manicures. On the other hand, you could do the exact same design in different colors and get a different effect! For example, a classic French […]

Cruelty-Free Beauty
Animal testing — for any reason — is one of the most controversial topics out there. It doesn’t always have to be political or extreme. Regardless of your involvement in the cause or your personal opinions on the matter, it’s always a good idea to be aware of what you’re buying and wearing! You may have noticed […]
Manicure Monday: Graduation Glitter
For my graduation from Villanova University this May, my two sisters got me the best graduation present – personalized nail polish. Thanks to Dollish Polish, a homemade nail polish vendor, they had two polishes made for me that no one else in the world has – “‘V’ for Villanova” and “Nova Nation,” two phrases that […]

You may need to mentally prepare yourself for this upcoming OPI collaboration. To celebrate Skyfall, the latest Bond film coming this November, a 13-piece OPI nail polish collection inspired by the James Bond movie franchise is launching this October. Each shade is named after a Bond title! I got a chance to test out the colors early, and […]
