(LA) Time to Revamp your Nails!
Can you count off the top of your head how many bottles of nail polish you own? I don’t know about you but I have so many shoe boxes filled with nail polishes I can’t even remember how many of each color I have. The worst part is after using each color a few times after buying it, I forget about it or I get tired of the color so I end up buy more and more (probably a bad habit :)).After searching through my boxes today for a color that suited my mood at the time I realized I didn’t really like any of the colors I sorted through. I thought about layering colors and I’ve done that many times before but I never seem to get the exact color/effect I want from layering.Sooooo I came to the conclusion that since I didn’t want to spend money on more polish and I didn’t want to layer, I’m going to make my own color! Here’s what I did:
I bought an empty nail polish bottle from a nail supply store. Make sure the brush quality is good or you’ll get uneven streaks when you paint your nails.Sation in Black OPI in Alpine SnowOPI in Russian NavyI decided I wanted some type of dark gray color so I choose the three colors above from my collection. I mixed about three parts black to three parts white to one part blue. (Blue just for a peeking undertone) You can choose any colors you like and the best part is you can keep adding drops of color until you find the perfect shade.
And this was my finished product after two coats and a shiny top coat. I chose to use all matte colors because I feel like the matte no shimmer look works really well for the fall. Dark gray brings black down a notch but still makes a statement perfect for any occasion or any outfit.
Try mixing your own colors and you’ll rediscover all your old nail polishes. Not to mention you’ll be saving money too!

Aldo Nail LAQuer
Been kind of obsessed with nailpolish lately… But we are not the only ones!
I saw this over at nitrolicious. Oh la la is all I have to say! Big up to the Canadian company doing big things!!
I have been a fan of Aldo shoes since I was.. um 11!? So exciting that 15 years later they still have me as a #1 consumer.
No word on the quality of opacity of the nail polish yet.. or drying speed – but from the ad campaigns it really looks top notch!
I am the most excited about La Vie Violette.

Ladies… while we do our very best to keep our hair done, our clothes right and our nails tight, its a tough job to stay forever-camera-ready! The easiest slip up is our nails, I know this has happened to you at least once! Heading out the door to an important meeting or the hottest event and notice that your nails are not up to “diva” status… suddenly you say to yourself… “Look. At. My.

Be a POP girl!
If you haven’t already heard of the makeup line, POP Beauty, allow me to introduce you…
POP Beauty’s creator, Sara Strand created the line to add ‘pop’ to every woman’s makeup bag. Strand wants to give every woman the opportunity to try something new and take a chance!
Of course, Spring is all about color and wait ’til you see what POP Beauty has got in store…
I tried POP Beauty’s Nail Glams in Grass and Violetta and let me tell you… these aren’t your typical, everyday nail polishes. These nail polishes come in the edgiest and funkiest colors. If you’re looking for a burst of color to complete any spring look, POP Beauty’s Nail Glams are the way to go! My favorite thing about Nail Glams is their super-shiny finish; I don’t even need a top coat.
If eye-glam is your thing, look no further than the POP Lash Shop. POP Beauty takes dressy lashes to a whole new level of fun. I tried Psychedelic; they are SO dramatic, the photos do no justice. Because they’re so long I found it useful to dab the glue on with a q-tip to the lash line and false lash for maximum hold. I also found it easier to start in the middle of the eye and work my way out to the edges.
Shop around on on their website: www.popbeauty.co.uk
POP Beauty is also available at Sephora and Ulta stores and various online retailers.Whether it’s a pop of color, a pop of drama or a pop of fun… POP Beauty won’t let you down!
