For the last year, I have been on a bit of a mission to “green up” my makeup routine.
I’ve replaced my foundation with a more natural option.
I’ve switched to a more natural-based cleanser and moisturizer.
I’ve ditched standard lip gloss for one that has ingredients I can pronounce.
But there’s one area of my beauty regimen that [...]

I have to admit that I take minimal care of my nails. I keep them very short, occassionally get manicures or buff my nails and rarely polish them anything but clear. I love for them to look nice but just don’t love to invest the time into them. I chalk it up to being a [...]

A few months ago, I shared with you the greatest invention to hit my nails since… well, forever. Since then, I have added one more item to my perfect manicure repertoire.
In addition to a really awesome topcoat, I have a new must-have: cuticle oil.

In fact, the history of my quest for healthier hair, skin and nails is well documented [...]

My color choice is most always a pale pink or a pearly white. I love a good French manicure. If I’m feeling particularly sassy, I might go with a hot pink — on my toes only.
I’m a real daredevil, [...]

Do you remember your first bottle of nail polish? I do.
It was dark blue and was probably Wet ‘n Wild brand. Since it was my only bottle at the time, I applied it often and used almost a whole bottle.
Since then, I’ve acquired a few hundred bottles of nail polish.
Hi, my name is Sarah and [...]

I’m pretty sure I’ve had nail polish on my toes since I turned 4. It’s a funny thing, since I seldom wear anything but clear on my fingers but I find it fun to be able to experiment with more fun colors on my piggies. So, whether you wear it on one or the other [...]

As any busy woman can probably attest too, it can be challenging to find the time to fit in an appointment at the nail salon. Just this past week as we were sitting in a meeting, I was complaining to a friend how badly I needed a manicure, but I just didn’t see anytime soon when [...]

Whenever I’m making my to do list of vacation preparations a manicure and pedicure is always top of the list. There is just something about having bright, fresh nails for the trip especially since our annual vacation takes place during spring break and involves heading south to warm, sunny weather. Where there is sun and beaches [...]
