I love being able to do my own nails and Sally Hansen always helps. Besides having gorgeous nail colors I grew up with, they've recently released glow in the dark neon nail appliques.
There's Nothing More Fun Than A Pop Of Color! I love giving myself little D.I.Y. Manicures. Taking care of your nails is key girls! No one wants to look at busted hands. We don't all have enough time to go get mani's done constantly, and honestly, sometimes I rather be in the comfort of my home.
Step 1: Apply SallyHansen Color Therapy Nail & Cuticle Oil and massage onto cuticle area. Remove thoroughly from nail plate with alcohol or nail polish remover before painting.
Step 2: Apply 2 coats of SallyHansen Color Therapy in Auran't You Relaxed.
Step 4: To create a smoother blend, pour out a small puddle of SallyHansen Color Therapy in Auran't You Relaxed and apply a mixture of bright pink and darker pink to the center of the nail where the two colors meet. This will allow for a smoother blend.
Step 5: Repeat this step with the teal color - SallyHansen Color Therapy in Teal Good. Continue blending colors until you're satisfied with the transition.
Step 6: After allowing the nails to dry 5 minutes apply SallyHansen Color Therapy Top Coat to further blend and seal colors together.
Hey Nubians, Spring Has Sprung! I'm so happy it's Spring! Spring is such a transformation season and all over healthy for the soul. People are itching to switch up their fashion, hair and makeup. It's a great time to create an inspirational vision board and see what attracts you. As most of you know, I love colors. Spring is a great time to break out some cute pastel colors. I noticed when it comes to beauty, Sally Hansen and Rimmel London have some gorgeous pastel colors you might want to pick up right now especially considering easter is around the corner. Rimmel London: From total babe Kate Moss Nude’s Collection, these beautiful neutral pastels will add just the right amount of spring to your lips! These are the shades #40 and #41. 40 probably wouldn't work great with my complexion but it's still a great color.
The pink below is precious. It's from Rimmel London's new Oh My Gloss Oil Tint Collection. I believe the cover girl for this collection is Rita Ora.
Sally Hansen always nails (no pun intended) Spring time with their beautifully pigmented and innovative nail color collections! They are one of my favorite drug store brands. I remember when I was younger, it was always my mom's and my favorite go-to brand for color and quality. These shades are perfection from their Insta-Dri and Miracle Gel collections.
These are some cool drug store purchases that cost 10 dollars or less each. Looking fab on a budget is a good way to start the new season. Plus that means extra money for traveling :) Who's super happy it's Spring?!?! Xo Nubia Xo
Hey Nubians, By Halloween Nails, I Meant A Sweet Cameo By Michael Myers Himself!
I wanted to give myself a 'Fall is approaching' manicure but didn't want to go straight for orange or hunter green which are usually my go-to colors. I decided to do a cool grey nail. I had the Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Fast Dry Nail Color 'Show Steeler' nail polish which I had never used and it was just what I was looking for. Perfection. I love the color! It's a little something different. It dries very quickly which is a big perk for my clumsy butt and it has a pretty shine to it without needing a clear top coat. My nails feel so pretty. I'm very picky with nail polish but I highly recommend the Sally Hansen Insta-Dri line. I've had good experiences with it. I despise when the color on my nails chips quickly and that doesn't happen with Insta-Dri.
Aren't these nails so super cute!?!? Perfect for Spring too. They're press-ons I found at a random 99 cent store. Though I love getting a nice gel manicure done every so often at a salon, I hate the procedure (I have no patience). These press-on nails do the job and they last a few days. They're also only 99 cents for about 5-7 days as opposed to 40 dollars for 14 days.
Anyway, the pretty pastel colors from my mani remind me of the Care Bears. I used to love watching the cartoons as a little girl, it sent out such a positive message of expressing your feelings and emotions.
'Each Care Bear comes in a different color and has a specialized insignia on its belly that represents its duty and personality.'
I always say live your life through colors, emotion, and a dash of glitter.
Cheers!
