So I’m super pumped for the season premiere of one of my favorite shows, Weeds! Make sure you watch the Season 4 Recap so you’re all caught up by June 8th!
So I recently attended a party for the fabulous Tone (more on that in another post) where they had women doing Minx manicures for all the guests! Cocktails and manicures = heaven in my book plus I was thrilled with the result. I’ve never gotten more random compliments on my nails and I’m finding that it really adds a little something extra for going out. Beware: might not be appropriate if you have the comforting misery of working in a business casual to formal office. 😉 Liquid metal…
this summer, pretend you’re on a safari and go wild at the beach.These leopard print beach-friendly pieces are just the right amount of leopard, no furry dice allowed.Whether you’re covering up your head, body or feet, you’ll be sure to look wild and chic in any of these summer “safari” essentials.No fuss, no muss.And remember- don’t wear more than one piece at a time and nothing with faux fur allowed.
So lately I’ve been really into my nails and I recently tried out the new Gelife manicure at Dashing Diva, a personal favorite mani/pedi spot in New York. The verdict? Completely sold. Though I am definitely someone who is more likely to get a pedicure, I really like the way this manicure shines and stays fresh.
Two coats of gel are applied, nails are dried under a UV lamp and, in the words of Emeril, “bam.” Shiny, glossy nails with little or no chipping. UV Gelife is launching with three natural options: Clear, Cool Pink, and Warm Pink (colors will be launched in the fall) and the whole procedure takes about a half hour, and lasts for up to two weeks.BONUS- this mani is said to be safe for nails as the gel contains calcium salt, allowing them to grow underneath and stay healthy.For $45, you can’t beat it… on top of that, I adore Dashing Diva- the staff, the space, the quality- all superior.
So welcome to Mascara Monday, Part II. The MAX Factor 2000 Calorie Extreme Lash Plumper, is a highperformance mascara that makes lashes 200% thicker (versus bare lashes)! I have to say, I was very surprised at how well this mascara went on and left my lashes very dark and very sexy and full. I’m a sucker for any mascara that leaves my lashes clump-free and can be purchased at the drugstore! Two thumbs up for sure.
