Hey Nubians, 

Do you love DIY nails? I know I do! I also enjoy fun, fashionable trends. 

Take a look at this super cute manicure trend you can successfully do in your own home, the Manicure Ombre Trend! Sally Hansen Global Color Ambassador Madeline Poole takes the latest fashion trends from the runway, to your nails. This month, her recommendation is Ombre. Perfect for the Spring/Summer Season because it's so much fun to play with bright and bold colors. Lately I haven't been doing my nails because I've been painting and creating cool art but I think I'll have to try out the Ombre trend ASAP!

Nails Inspired By Hair And Fashion

Madeline developed this vibrant nail look for Monse's spring/summer 2017 NYFW show. Her inspiration for the look were the bold colors from this season's catwalks, and the ombre-dyed hairstyles of the stylish women on New York City's sidewalks.

Want to get the look yourself? Here's How - Madeline's Ombre mani is simple to achieve at home with no special tools required, just a regular makeup sponge. Featuring Auran't You Relaxed, Teal Good and Robes and Rosé, this take on Ombre is the perfect pop of color for any summer outfit.

Step 1: Apply Sally Hansen 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 Sally Hansen Color Therapy in Auran't You Relaxed.

Step 3:  Use a makeup sponge cut in half to lightly apply Sally Hansen Color Therapy in Robes and Rosé. Concentrate the color towards the middle of the nail and blend upward towards the free edge.

Step 4: To create a smoother blend, pour out a small puddle of Sally Hansen 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 - Sally Hansen 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 Sally Hansen Color Therapy Top Coat to further blend and seal colors together.

Have fun! Cheers! Xo Nubia Xo

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. 


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?!?!

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. 

Hello Nubians, 

Hey Nubians,

Nothing like giving yourself a nice little Manicure to brighten up your mood. Though I find it tedious to do my nails, I also find it imperative that my nails look lovely at all times. I didn't always care... but the older I get, the more the little details matter.

Hey Nubians,

Because Short Nails Are Cute Too...

A girl has to keep up with her beauty but as of late, I decided to give the long nails a break for a while. By "long" I mean not mine ha ha! More like acrylic or gel extensions. I used to think that I HAD to have long nails... I don't really know why, I guess it made me feel more lady like. Now-a-days I'm content trying to be a bit more creative with my short nails and trying to think of cute manicures that I can do myself.

Don't get my wrong, every-so-often I really miss long nails and I'm sure I'll go back to them eventually... but for now it's short manicures for me.


I gave myself a cute and simple mani this week. I didn't have much time to get too fancy. I used Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear 178 All Bright Pink as the base coat and then I used L.A. Colors Art Deco wands to do the little Zebra-ish lines in white and glitter to make it POP more.


I'm happy with the results. I figure as long as your hands are moisturized and your nails are painted nicely then you're good to go. I gave myself a pedicure with the same design too! I love the pink color from Sally Hansen. It's so bold without being neon.

Do you have any favorite nail polish colors for this summer?

Ladies, having manicured nails is so important! Sometimes I feel as if we can easily overlook something as small as our nails if we're not careful. If you really think about it however... everyone can see your hands at all times! So it's important to keep them pretty and make a good impression. Plus, you don't always have to do it for others, do it for yourself!

Here's another few photo I uploaded on my dripthat account. If you remember in my John Frieda and NYC New York Color Beauty Haul post I talked about how I've been enjoying using the new app and it's fun features. I wanted to share some of my favorite brands and colors of nail polishes I'll be rocking this summer. I often do my nails myself (DIY chick) to avoid going to salons every week.

Wet n Wild Wild Shine - Wet n Wild beauty is one of my favorite drugstore brands. I've become a fan of their Wild Shine nail polish line as of lately. So far my favorite colors are Putting on Airs (Blue), Tickled Pink (Baby Pink), Blazed (Orange)

Hey Nubians,


It's Mani Monday!

Hey Nubians,


I don't make enough time for my nails sometimes! I just throw on any color and I'm done. I want to try to focus more on specific colors and detailed designs so I thought I'd start off with some fun pop art nails!

No tengo tiempo suficiente para mis uñas a veces! Me limito a usar cualquier color y estoy hecha. Quiero tratar de usar más colores y diseños detallados por este motivo, pensé en empezar con algunas divertidas uñas arte pop!



I purchased some KISS Products Pop Art nail decals and I used my Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear 178 'All Bright' Pink as a base and my Sally Hansen Gel Shine 3D Top Coat to give it an extra shine. I love pop culture, cult classic movies, comics, and all cool sorts of geeky stuff.

Watch my video below to find out how quick and easy you can get this done. Also make sure to subscribe to my You Tube channel HERE.
