Manicure Monday: Nail Lingerie

Manicure Monday: Nail Lingerie

When I received Sation Nail Lacquer in Of Corset I’ll Call You in this month’s Ipsy bag, I had to try it immediately.  It’s described as “a romantic lavender-rose” and it’s one of my new favorite shades.  It adds the perfect pop of color, but still looks feminine and natural. Good thing Ipsy gave me a […]

Manicure Monday: Tribal Accents

Manicure Monday: Tribal Accents

When it comes to nail art, tribal accents look like possibly one of the most complicated designs. I’ve always been drawn to the design, but with such small details, I’ve never been brave enough to try it. And that is what today’s Manicure Monday is all about – making the tribal manicure easy. You’ll find […]

Manicure Monday: Ombre Nails

Manicure Monday: Ombre Nails

Ombre is huge right now, whether it’s on your hair, your dress, or your nails.  But it’s not an easy look to get. I’ve tried doing an ombre manicure in the past, and I can never seem to pick the right colors.  China Glaze makes it easy for you with their Ombre kits!  They have […]

A Beauty Review: Benefit’s Fine-One-One

A Beauty Review: Benefit’s Fine-One-One

Benefit’s new Fine-One-One is a sheer brightening product for cheeks and lips – and I’m currently in love with it.  You could say it was love at first swipe. And that’s not just because of the super cute name and pretty packaging – although that does tend to help.  Fine-One-One is a multi-tasking powerhouse, tiny enough to fit […]

Manicure Monday: Delete Digital Drama

Seventeen Magazine and OPI have teamed up to Delete Digital Drama and take a stand against cyberbullying by creating their new #17delete polish. Bullying is a serious issue, and cyberbullying is arguably even worse.  The Delete Digital Drama campaign seeks to spread awareness about cyberbullying and put an end to it. I think the Internet is […]

A Beauty Review: Benefit’s The POREfessional

Still on my “flawless face” kick, I’m in the process of testing out different products and techniques to help me get just that – a flawless face. From skincare to concealer, I’ll stop at nothing to figure out what works best for me. Next on my list? Benefit’s The POREfessional, which aims to reduce the […]

Manicure Monday: Galaxy Nails

Manicure Monday: Galaxy Nails

Galaxy nails aren’t just for astronomy majors.  I’ve tried to recreate the look a few times and never been too happy with the result. They look absolutely beautiful, but look pretty complicated.  Every time I’ve tried in the past, they just look sort of … sloppy.  After many attempts and several different methods, I finally […]

A Beauty Review: Benefit’s Fake Up

Lately, I’ve been on a bit of a “flawless face” kick. I’ve realized that it doesn’t matter how great you are with a smoky eye if you’ve got dark under eye circles, huge pores, or blemishes. Beautiful skin is the best tool in your beauty arsenal.  If you, like me, weren’t blessed with perfect skin, […]

Manicure Monday: You’re Such a BudaPest

Manicure Monday: You’re Such a BudaPest

I’ve recently fallen in love with OPI’s Euro Centrale collection.  From Polka.com, a fun blue and violet glitter, to My Vampire is Buff, a creamy nude, the colors are so perfect for Spring.  One of my favorites from the collection is You’re Such a BudaPest, a lovely shade of what OPI calls “periwinkle-purple.”  I even […]

Trend Report: Spring Colors

As the weather slowly starts to get warmer, I think it’s safe to say we’re all eagerly awaiting Spring. Fall might be known as the season for fashion, with deep colors, layering techniques, and varying textures, but there is nothing like being able to go out rocking your new favorite outfit without covering it up […]
