Nail Clippers, Curved or Straight?

When it comes to clipping your nails, choosing the right nail clipper is important. Well, at least to me it is. There are two types of nail clippers. One, which is straight  and the other is curved. It is said that the curve clipper is most desirable but  I don't agree. I prefer the straight clipper. It allows for more accuracy and gives me more comfort when cutting. I find the curve to be more difficult for me and I am a professional.  I would love to know which clipper you prefer.

CND Vinylux

This is the newest nail polish to hit the nail world. No base coat needed, just polish and top coat and  removes like normal nail polish. The makers of Shellac have a new product in store and it's Vinylux. Exposure to natural light secures the patent-pending ProLight technology, creating an enduring, long-lasting polish. While ordinary polishes become brittle and deteriorate over time, VINYLUX dries naturally to a flawless finish and strengthens its resistance to chips over time with natural light.

YSL does Ombre Nail Polish

Ombre Nails showed up on tons of You Tube channel. Ombre is a 3 tiered colored look that is blotted on the nail and fades from dark to light or light to dark as shown in picture below.

YSL decided to put the entire look in one bottle instead of having 3 different bottles of polish. They are available in four different colors: Cool, Pop, Hit and Ice. The polish will run you a cool $25, not your average nail polish cost so choose a color you love. I like the bottles and will most likely be getting all four just because they are pretty :)

Ciate Chalkboard Nails. No more screeching

Ciate has been very innovative when coming up with creative ideas for nail art. They did caviar nails, foil, feathers and velvet. It's only natural for them to come up with chalkboard nails!  You can write on the black polish with different color chalk like polish and never have to cringe when the chalk scratches the surface :). This looks like fun and easy to use. 

Ciate is found in Sephora, the nail polish kingdom. 

Get your nails spring ready!!!

 If you follow me on instagram , these pictures will look familiar. China Glaze and Zoya are ready for spring. If you want a vibrant color, China Glaze, Creative fantasy will fit the bill but if your looking for a softer tone, Zoya's Blu will do just fine. I love them both. These are two of my favorite polish colors. Blu has that white base that I absolutely love, while China glaze has the blue base that I love too.
So on your next manicure run, you have some colors to think about. :) Will you be creative or blu?

Essie...Madison Ave Hue collection

With a play on New York City's famous ave, Madison avenue, Essie has named their most recent collection Madison Ave-Hue. Pretty cute huh? As a native New Yorker, I can appreciate this new collection. I would have thought however, that each color in this collection would have had a famous avenue name within the big city. The colors are spring ready as I am sure we all are. The collection hits stores this month so check your local neighborhood store for the color of your choice. They are all very pretty but does anything beat "Butler Please"

I mean, what a perfect spring, summer blue.

This color has made it to my favorite hall of fame color list. It goes well with all skin tone and looks amazing on all shape nails. If you don't have, go get and if you haven't tried it, try it now. You will love it. 

China Glaze new nail App!

China Glaze has an app that is out of this world!!!!!!

Please download it as soon as you can to get the full effect. Pictured below is the "try it on" wheel. You swivel the colors within each collection, select your skin tone and try the color on virtually, but the best part of the app is matching a color. For example, you see a color that you love and don't know the color or the brand, China Glazes app will allow you to take a picture of the color and it will match that color to one of their colors. I couldn't believe it at first, so I had to test it out.  I must say it was pretty accurate. I had so much fun playing with this app that I lost track of my time.  The app also features DIY videos and tutorials. Let me know what you think when you download. Hope you have as much fun as I did.
