My Pink and Pretty Quickly Mani with @SallyHansen
Busy does not being to explain the state I have been in the last few weeks! It has been mayhem really – juggling transitions through and through. Personally, a few big things happened – I got married! It is a real mental transition from being a single girl to a married woman. Hard to explain and more in later post. Secondly – The weather has been trying to get to spring desperately and the rain/snow/sun combo has been definitely under the weather as they say. Third – I got a new job! So from going to freelance to full time has my agenda filled a bit more than usual and me sleepier lately. More on that later as well.
On days like this, simple and fast are both friends of mine and anything that embodies these attributes are my friend. So alas, let me introduce to you the stars of the day: Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure and Sally Hansen Gem Crush.
The Complete Salon Manicure in Pink Pong is a Godsend after I did a gel manicure that ravaged my nails 🙁 They were thin as paper after 2 weeks of scratch free perfection and my natural nails needed something that was neutral and beautiful. Pink Pong is the pink color of a French manicure – a creme light pink that dries really quickly. It has a massive brush and my nails are tiny so it gave incredible coverage with one stroke. It has a GEL-like shine and is chip resistant (kinda like how I have to be with all this stress!).
The Sally Hansen Gem Crush is what I call a true ‘one-coat’ glitter! It has micro glitters in a rose gold and then mini glitters in sliver. This color Razzle Dazzler is jam packed with glitter and one coat did the trick. I did put a top coat on it after to give it a shiny finish. This has a regular sized brush that is great for small nails like me. Make sure you give this a good shake.
Love these two colors that can be worn together or separate. It is a great on-the-go manicure or like me ‘recovery’ manicure while your nails grow long again. It is neutral enough that it can deal with a bit of imperfection and smudges but pretty enough to show that you care about your nails.
Get these at any drugstore near you and find your combo colors to help you through your life ‘transitions’ easier on http://sallyhansen.com/products/nails/nail-color -

Smooth Waves with @JohnFriedaUS
I have been growing my hair since June and now it is almost ponytail length! I love it when long hair has a slight curl but it is still smooth. I remember in 11th grade my oh-so glamorous friend Maria use to use these but they had complicated pins and prongs. So I am happy that now, 10 years later, they have come up with newer and easier tools. Even though you can achieve this look in a few different ways with or without tools (like rolling your hair up while damp in a bun and then letting it out when it’s dry). Using hot rollers is one of the easiest ways.
I recently tried the John Frieda Smooth Waves Conair Hair Setter.
It featuring five 2-inch titanium ceramic-coated jumbo rollers, this breakthrough hair setter helps you create silky waves for a naturally sensual look. The cutting-edge, professional-grade design uses a true ionic generator to safely distribute heat throughout hair, so there’s no fear of frizz or dull strands. Hair wraps easily around the generously-sized 2” jumbo rollers, which use an extreme heat feature to heat up instantly, delivering perfectly smooth, voluminous waves in a flash.
The best thing about this is how easy it is to use. You plug it in, it heats up and then you curl your hair around it. It doesn’t slide because of the textured surface and it doesn’t burn your fingers if you hold on to the purple part. The clip is easy to put on and then you just wait 10 mins. You will feel the heat emit from the rollers while you wait and you can think about how hot you are going to look once it’s finished 🙂
I am sure that I will be using this a lot more when my hair gets a few inches longer!

Ssssexy Nails REPSTYLE with @Essie
Year of the Snake is everywhere if you look! Essie has a magnetic nailpolish called Snake, Rattle & Roll that is just so beautiful. If you have ever used magnetic nailpolish, here is a great tip. Put 2 coats on, put the magnetic as close as possible for 10 seconds and then SIT and wait. Once it dries, put a top coat and you got a great pattern. The metal bits in the nail polish is what gets ‘pulled’ by the magnet and creates this snakey look.
Cute right?
An awesome swatch that I found on oooooshiny.blogspot.com
