    Ohh Bahama Mama!

    My best friend just got back from her honeymoon in the Bahamas and got me a nice gift that I couldn’t wait to try. She got me Del Sol Nail Polish, which when you put in the sun it will turn into a different color.

    I have “Secret Crush” and then I borrowed “Island Fever” from her. My nails are really short and I know I can’t be a hand model but I think the colors look good!

    I have “Island Fever” on my ring finger and “Secret Crush” on the rest. My camera doesn’t do justice so below is “Secret Crush” before and after exposing your nails to the sun.

    I went to check out their website and it looks like they make a bunch of other color-changing stuff such as t-shirts, sandals, hair accessories, bags, hats, etc. There are no stores in NY so it looks like I might be traveling to the Bahamas and my excuse will be that I need more color-changing nail polish… 🙂 even if there are more than 100 stores worldwide. 😉

    Odilon Collection Uses @MinxNailsDotCom for #NYFW

    Last Wednesday, Stacy Clark, a NY designer, presented her Spring/Summer 2012 Odilon Collection line using custom Minx nails on her models. Her crisp minimalistic collection paired with the fab Minx nails kicked of New York Fashion Week!

    Photos by Ryan Koopmans.

    New York celebrity nail stylist Lisa Logan worked with the team of nail stylists and the designer herself to decide on a custom look for her models. Clark decided on a white nail with a nude moon to be applied on her 14 models. Two words: clean and fresh were what the designer was looking for. The collection was very well received, with editors from Vogue, Elle,  NY Magazine, and WWD in attendance.

    “Minx is ideal for runway shows because you do not have to worry about smudging or drying the models’ nails, and with hair and makeup all working at once, that’s a huge benefit,” added Danielle, the owner of NailTaxiNYC.

    xo, June 🙂

    I ♥ My Metro Man

    Gone are the days of college boyfriend sweatshirts and beer pong ‘dates’. These days, the men we date can talk about salvage denim, the hand of the fabric and exfoliating their skin. The Metro Man is the new Renaissance Man with an American Express and a love for luxe everything. Such practical beings they are, looking for the best quality product and comparing marketing prices. We shop aimlessly, falling for the little ribbon bow or a sparkly Swarovski detail, yet the Metro Man looks at ingredients, claims and results. Dating this man is no easy task. With his perfect lips moisturized with Lip Agent and his perfect recall of your favorite dessert, you are almost defenseless.

    He likes his Tocca candles and his apartment to be just so. He can romance you all night and still be ready for his 10 o’clock. I know his secret because I have used it too. The Metro Man raises the bar to level perfectly with your Louboutin Daffodils. What’s not to love? Good thing you are perfect just the way you are.

    Vicks Nature Fusion

    Yesterday after a crazy, extended birthday weekend, I woke up with the dreaded scratchy throat and stuffy nose.  I could not believe I was getting a cold–in the summer, no less!  First of all, it’s basically unheard of for me to get sick at all, and second, I have way too much going on this week to be sick. How could this be?  Well, no time for moping…

    I was fortunate to have a stash of medicine on standby from the Vicks Nature Fusion product launch I went to back in August.  I had been planning to tell you all about the new product line closer to cold and flu season, but in an unforeseen change of events I’ve found myself in the position of product reviewer!

    The Nature Fusion line is gluten free, dye free, and contains real honey!!  It comes in liquid and capsule form.  I’ve been taking the Nature Fusion Cold & Flu capsules and I was delighted by the delicious taste.  Let’s face it–no one likes to take pills, but these tasted like they were literally dipped in honey!! I also have the Nature Fusion Cough & Chest Congestion liquid medicine on hand and I can’t imagine how yummy and comforting that tastes, but I don’t have a cough and I hope that I won’t need to taste it!! 🙂

    Of course taste doesn’t mean anything if you don’t get relief from your symptoms–but I must say, Vicks did the job.  I slept through the night (thanks to Vicks NyQuil Cold & Flu), and I’ve been doing well so far today (back on the Nature Fusion capsules).

     

     

    Check out the entire product lineup.

     

    kisses, Olisa
