Nailing down the problem...

So today I am totally digging Sephora. I mean, I always love Sephora but lately I have been routinely impressed with their "in-house" lines. I have used and loved their brushes, cases and tools for years but lately have gotten more into trying out their in-house make-up/products and I have NOT been disappointed. But considering they are the world leader in beauty- I should have know the products would be dynamite!

My love today?

Sephora by OPI - $9 (Sephora nationwide and online at Sephora.com)

I recently had an online Sephora purchase that needed just that little extra something for free shipping (don't you love that?). Well I decided to throw a bottle of this in to the mix since I had seen it in store and was intrigued. In a word- it is great. The color is beautiful and solid (just as it appears in the bottle) and not thin or runny like some other nail color brands. Pretty much just like the label says- OPI quality nail polish, in amazing Sephora colors. (There are more than 54 by the way...) And not only that - the polish is made with "green" ingredients. On my toes at the moment? Wardrobe Change. (The color shown above is Available 24/7.)

OPI
and Sephora have truly delivered a good deal for anybody looking to kick-start their manicure or pedicure but not wanting to spend salon money right now.

Great quality, great colors and environmentally conscious? SOLD!

Keep looking fabulous!

Grey-t Nails

In our beauty lives, there are a few things that are hard to find...a great lipstick...a good mascara and of course, a new favorite nail polish color.

Well I have found my new fave nail polish. For the past few years, dark has been the rage. First it started out as deep plums and dark dark wine reds, then it switched to black in the past couple years and this year, although dark is still in, the new color of choice is grey. And I have to tell you, I AM SOLD. I had a wedding to go to over the weekend and my dress of choice was black. So on a whim while getting my manicure and pedicure, I decided to go with a new sparkly grey. And I am in LOVE.
Introducing....


My Private Jet by OPI - $8 (Beauty supply stores and ULTA nationwide)



This color is amazing. It is best described as gun metal grey filled with slight sparkles. It looks sassy and edgy but not so scary that you couldn't wear this to work if you work in a conservative workplace. I love love love it and think you will too.

Another good option for the trend is Essie Over the Top Nail Polish - $8 (Beauty supply stores, ULTA nationwide and online at Essie.com)

Keep looking fabulous!
