P!NK’s Truth About Love Tour


I’m pretty selective about the concerts that I attend, mostly because there’s nothing worse than sitting through a concert where you hate the band, but when COVERGIRL invited me to see P!NK at Staples Center, I immediately said YES.  I’m not scared to admit that I LOVE P!NK.  She’s just fantastic.  And WHAT a show, seriously (see above photo).  Not only does she have a fabulous voice, but she’s also an amazing performer and pretty much an acrobat.  Direct from COVERGIRL, here’s the step-by-step on how to get the mani that she rocked at the Staples show:


P!NK’s Truth About Love Tour – Manicure Look at L.A. Show 2/16 – By Celebrity Manicurist, Michelle Saunders

While discussing the nail look with P!NK, she knew she wanted to use COVERGIRL Outlast Stay Brilliant Nail Gloss in a gold color because the gold really shines on stage. We also decided to keep the nail art simple based on the fact that she is wearing a number of elaborate and colorful costumes and did not want anything to conflict or take away from the wardrobe.

We also like to keep her nails at an active length because of her performances in the show.

For the fun accent nails, I was inspired by the exclamation point in her name and the heart was inspired by The Truth About Love album. 

Here are the step-by-step tips on how to re-create P!NKs COVERGIRL inspired manicure:

1. Use 2 coats of COVERGIRL Outlast Stay Brilliant Nail Gloss in Golden Opportunity

2. On ring fingers apply a thin line (exclamation point) down the middle of nail in Black Diamond

3. Add a small heart to bottom of line (exclamation point) instead of a dot to create the final nail look

Perfect Pairs: Statement Rings and Nail Polish


Essie “Good As Gold” and Elizabeth and James Bird Claw Ring: This color has been my STAPLE nail color for the last few months, I’m obsessed.  I love the way it’s really more of a subtle gold and looks great with any other metallics, including this amazing sterling silver claw ring, designed by MK and Ash themselves.

Julep “Robin” and Kelly Wearstler Gold Horn Ring: We all know that I love a good double finger ring!  Mixing gold and robin’s egg blue (e.g. Tiffany blue) is a really pretty and girly combo that I adore.  I feel instantly more glam when I do this combo.

OPI “Plugged-In Plum” and Forever21 Turquoise Cutout Ring: This ring looks pricey, but it’s totally a Forever21 find!  I like mixing the turquoise shade witha  deep purple, which most people wouldn’t normally think to do, but I adore.

NARS “Dovima” and Forever21 Rhinestone Cheetah Ring: There’s nothing more classic than mixing a leopard print with red, right?  It’s pretty much my favorite combo and this ring quenches my thirst for the insanely expensive Cartier version, that I can’t afford.  Sigh.

The Monday Rundown

Lemon, quinoa, avocado, cilantro chickpea salad: As of late, I’ve been really into quinoa so it was pretty clear that I would love this salad that also happens to consist of several other ingredients that I love: avocado, cilantro and chick peas.  Granted, I know a LOT of people hate cilantro so I’m sure you could take that out of the recipe and be just fine.

Jouer Pochette: I was in Portland for New Year’s Eve this year and my friends and I were all gawking and ahhing over Nadine’s little pink pochette from Jouer Cosmetics!  It’s the perfect size for going out since you can fit your cash, ID, credit cards AND iPhone inside.  Of course, I immediately got one in brown.

House of Harlow 1960 Talon crystal cuff: By now you all know about my obsession with all things House of Harlow 1960, so it should come as no surprise that I found yet another new piece that I love.  Talons.  And crystals…I mean.

Plum & Bow Metallic Cat Pillow: I find this metallic cat pillow to be both ironic and awesome, especially since, if you follow me on Instagram, you know that I recently adopted two new cats of my own.  The best part about this pillow is that it totally looks like a real cat when styled amongst other throw pillows on the bed.  If I didn’t already have two real cats of my own, I’d totally get this.
