The 80s baby!

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.

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!

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?!?!

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, 

It's Almost Time For New Years!


New Years is a fun time for everyone. We like to celebrate amongst friends and loved ones. We make resolutions and dance away the end of a year and the beginning of a fresh new one. New Years brings a lot of feelings to the surface and one of them is excitement!



Women especially like to glam up for the occasion. It's another excuse for us to go a bit over the top in the hair, makeup, and clothing department. I like to pay attention to detail and even like to do something a bit loud with my nails. You can go to a nail salon and get a nice manicure or the quickest fix I can offer you is some glitter nails! I gave myself a quick glitter manicure last night using Sally Hansen All Bright pink as my bottom coat and Sinful Colors Pride glitter nail polish as my top coat. 




I think the only thing I might change perhaps is that for New Years I might buy some plain press-ons, paint them myself, and then use my KISS nail glue to apply. I may buy some press-ons too and get a little artsy. Below I'm featuring some New Year nail inspiration I found on Pinterest. All you have to do is simply change the year to 2016 and BOOM! 



Which of these is your favorites? Think you'll try any of them out? 


Cheers!

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.


Nails wants are so much fun! Even if it's just to add a small amount of glitter over a color, it gives it a little something extra. I like using LA COLORS wands because if you get lucky, you can find them for a dollar. Let's talk about this Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear '325 Big Teal', isn't it pretty? I love a nice bold nail color, it has great coverage even on the first coat... two coats makes it perfect. To top the whole manicure off, I like using Sally Hansen's Gel Shine 3D Top Coat. Then BOOM! Cute little mani complete. I also think Teal's a favorable color to use this time of year. The Xtreme Wear collection has great colors in it, you should check it out at your local drug store... your nails will thank you later ;-)
