Fall Nails By Revlon: Iconic and Hearts of Gold FX

This weekend, I was thrilled to host Tulsa’s Saks Fifth Avenue Fall Beauty and Fashion Trend show. We shared our favorite beauty products and fashion looks, snacked on mini cupcakes and drank up Sofia champagne from those adorable mini-cans. We had a great turnout despite the rainy day. That morning, we woke to our first true drizzly fall storm. Turned out my manicure matched with its same gritty gray. Like the fashion looks we featured, moto jackets, boots and leather, Revlon Iconic was inky, moody and urban.

I love Iconic just on its own. It is clean, crisp and a new classic. But if you want to change it up and add a little festivity… Layer Hearts of Gold FX on one accent nail. To really amp it up, add a layer of Hearts of Gold FX on all nails for a “starry night” effect. The glitter texture actually can help a manicure last even longer.

I particularly liked this glitter formula because it wasn’t hard to remove like others. I have a feeling I’ll be reaching Hearts of Gold FX to layer on other looks all year long.

Revlon believes there is more than one way for women to be seen. Revlon’s heritage as a color authority and its suite of innovative products inspires women around the world to express themselves through beauty each and every day.

Happy Fourth of July!

How does this beauty junkie celebrate? Naturally with a patriotic manicure! Hope you all enjoy the holiday and God Bless America!

L’Oreal Jet Set to Paris with accent nail in Essie Geranium. I can’t remember the white my manicurist used for the heart, but isn’t it cute?!

Manicures and Champagne

Please excuse the brief post today. I had a fun and love filled weekend with friends and family to celebrate my birthday. Today is a day of recovery! My heart is full and I feel so blessed to have wonderful people in my life. PS – how great are these manicures with the champagne. Wait… everything looks good paired with champagne! Cheers!

Inspired by his Summer 2013 shoe collection, Hardy’s collection has six polishes pairings (two polishes designed to compliment each other) and two blushes. The polishes come in a small shoebox with dust bag (a nod to Hardy’s own footwear packaging). The blushes feature Hardy’s signature cubic print with a gold overspray.

The lightweight formula is packed with Light Reflecting Complex and red algae extract to keep skin looking luminous and fresh all day. The formula absorbs quickly and fights dullness and fatigue while Vitamins A, C and E help ward off free radical damage. Available April 15, 2013 at NARS boutiques and narscosmetics.com.

Essie Grow Stronger Base Coat

I feel like I am on a epic, never ending adventure to find a great base coat to make my nails long and strong. Well, I am taking a little break from that adventure because I have fallen hard for Essie’s grow strong. So much so that I’ve been rocking bare nails since last week.

The slight pinkish tint and matte finish the base coat gives on its own is actually quite pretty. Vitamin E, Gingko Biloba, And Mineral Strengtheners improve the look and fortitude of nails. My nails are growing like a weed!

I can’t seem to find it anywhere online, but if you spot it, highly recommend snagging a bottle! I found mine at CVS.
