So it’s been a while now since I’ve found a really good nail color…and especially one that applies easily too. But I made a run to the drugstore this past weekend, and these bright, shiny nail polishes totally caught my eye. I’m talking about Sally Hansen’s Hi-Definition Nail Colors which come in 8 amazingly bright shades. At first, I wanted to get the green shade, but it seemed like they were almost out of every color…so they were going pretty fast. I ended up going with the blue, which I am very happy to say turned out amazing. What I really love about th...

It’s the year of the crazy nail polish colors, and we’re starting to see more and more wild colors on every single nail from black, to midnight black, and bright neon colors. So how do you choose which shade to sport? Well first, assess your situation. Are you a 9-5 girl working in an office setting? If so, you may want to stay away from really dark colors such as the popular black shades, as well as wild hues like bright green, blue, orange, or yellow. Instead, opt for a hot neon pink or a sparkly white…after all, you still have to look somewhat professional. Needless to say...

If you’re one of those people, like me, who hate applying nail polish and end up with a big mess, you’re in luck! If you don’t already know, there are actually nail polish pens that make application super easy and without any of the mess. With a nail polish pen, you can apply the nail polish without going over the edges and best of all, it dries super fast – it’s like painting your nails with a highlighter! One of my favorites to date is Nicole by OPI Nic’s Sticks. You can purchase them online by clicking on the picture or at any of your local drugstores. Th...

If there’s one thing I hate is spending my money at the nail salon, sitting there for hours and then having them chip within a few days. I say if you can do it yourself, save your money and use it on something better! Here is a step-by-step manicure that you can do at home and that’ll get your nails to look more than perfect.

If you’re looking to spice up your nail polish stack, quicksilver is your new best friend. This hot color was seen on all the runways as well as on tons of celebs like Lindsay Lohan and Mischa Barton. But if you’re skeptical about trying such a bold color, don’t worry there’s a metallic silver shade out there for everyone! Here are some of my favorite silver nail polishes. I absolutely love this nail polish color from Essie as it’s not too bold but it’s not boring either. Wear this color with practically anything! I love love looove the silver Dior nail poli...

Since I wrote about manicures yesterday, I thought it would be a good idea to follow up with something about pedicures…mainly do-it-yourself pedicures. Unlike my hate for doing manicures, I actually love doing pedicures because I’m not so horrible at it. So here is the foolproof way to doing your own pedicure. Oh and you can refer back to my previous post to see all the tools you’ll be needing. STEP 1: PREP If your feet are dying for some extra TLC, you probably need a good soak. You can combat heavy wear and tear on your feet with weekly pedicures. Start by soaking y...

Since I just wrote a post about manicures, I thought it would be appropriate to let all of you guys in on a little secret. There are always people telling you left and right what products to use, and how to use them, but you can’t always trust that! So here’s a myth for everyone out there! When someone tells you that using cuticle oil or Vaseline will ensure a faster drying time, its NOT TRUE! The truth is…these products will actually cause the nail polish to peel off and lift. Just let your nails dry naturally for best results! ...

If there is one thing that I hate more than anything is doing my nails. I am downright horrible at it, not to mention that I can’t upkeep them for the life of me. That’s why I never really bother with my nails that much, especially since I’m an avid nail bitter. I know it’s embarrassing, but I’m trying my best not to do that anymore. So far, I’m having little luck but it’s hard! That’s why I was super excited when I read an article in Glow Magazine (Canadian) about do-it-yourself manicures. It’s always something I’ve never been...
