Lets Talk Polish #2: Summer Brights

Summer Brights

Canary Yellow and Turned up Turquoise in an alternating mani?  It’s official summer has arrived, and I couldn’t be happier.  Winter was a bear and i’m ready for some longer days and hotter nights, if you know what I mean.  Speaking of hot i’m loving the ombre manicures right now I just don’t have the patients to self manicure at the moment, so until I find the time i’ll have to keep pinning. What are some trends that you ladies are into at the moment?

  

OPI "I Just Can't Cope-Acabana"
China Glaze "Turned Up Turquoise (Neon)"

Animal print stamping
Sally Hanson Insta Dri " Lively  Lilac"

  Here in the midwest animal prints reign supreme, and as it heats up outside so have our Manis and Pedis.  I’ve never seen neon zebras at the local zoo, but down at my local Wal-e-World they roam free.  From pastel leopards to pink giraffes we love our animal prints and bold summer colors.  How do you ladies celebrate the start of the summer season?  Do you switch up your colors or stick with your basics let me know in the comments below.

Until next time.

What's The 411 #3

CopperTone ClearlySheer suncreen

Update

Hello ladies,

     I just wanted to do a quick update on a buzz campaign that I blogged about a few weeks back.  Since receiving the product samples from buzz agent, I have been using the spray on my kids.  I love the twist top and the ease of not having to pin them down to apply it.  For myself I mainly use the lotion on my face before my make up and I have a small lotion that I keep in my car for my arms.

Here is some info about the formula:

COPPERTONE® CLEARLYSheer™ sunscreens were designed with your skin in mind. Think about all the benefits:

• Absorbs in seconds for a clean and light feel
• Moisturizing formulas help leave your skin soft and smooth
• Won’t clog pores or cause breakouts (clinically tested on acne-prone skin)
• Matte finish is perfect for use under makeup

Here is a pic of my little ones enjoying the water on a hot Kansas day.

I don't get any complaints about putting on sunscreen anymore. It's quick easy and doesn't irratate their sensitive skin. :)

Until next time...

Beauty By Mail #3 CurlKit

CurlKit

June

Hello Ladies,

June was a big month for CurlKit, Cream of Nature took over.  The box was very heavy and bursting at the seams.  Julys' box will be my last because I have simply run out of space to store all of the hair products.  I do love curlkit and I think that if you are newly natural or transitioning and want to try out a variety of products they are a great place to start.  However once you figure out what your hair likes cancel that subscription cause product junkie mania can soon follow.
Until next time. :)

Lets Talk Polish #1

Lets Talk: Indie Polish

Hello Ladies,

     I came across this article in Nail-It Mag online about Indie polishes. ( Indie Polish Spotlight: ) What are your thoughts?  Have you ever tried any independent brands of polish or made your own?  If you haven't why not and if you have what brands are your favorite?  I tended to stick to the trusted few when it comes to nail brands but lately I have decided to venture out of my bottle. 
    When it comes to nail polish and design their is so much out there from mix ins and glitters to paints that we're truly only limited by our imagination.  For those of you out there who don't want to invest in the multitude of said glitters and mix-ins yet still want a custom look, Indie polishes could be just what your looking for.
     I've had the pleasure of testing out a brand from Florida called Royal Laquer you can find them on Etsy.  I'll have the swatches below.  The polishes are quick drying, unique and beautiful exactly what I look for in a polish. :)

Red Velvet, This red leans towards the orange and is not a cream or a jelly its a "cremlly", yes I just made that up.  The hexagonal glitters through out create a cool layered effect.  Pictures show two coats.

Laser Blue, Pictures are just not doing this color any justice, its gorgeous.  This is a deep sea blue with tiny colored glitters that remind me of the night sky.  The flex of purple glitters really make it stand out.
     Those are just two of my favs, until next time!
