    Inspired by @SeptembreA

    How does she do this!!?

    Septembre always has the prettiest and coolest nail designs, and I think I love them even more because she does them herself. I suck at painting my finger nails (9 times out of ten it just turns out to be a damn mess) so I’m pretty much blown away and extremely envious every time I see Septembre with a new design… *sigh*

    I recently decided to “give life” to my nails, and although my designs aren’t nearly as exciting as Septembre’s, I think I’m off to a good start; especially because this time the nail polish was on my finger nails, instead of all over my fingers and hands, the floor, the couch etc.

    I’m hoping to start doing more exciting designs as time goes by, but for now this will do.

    Visit Septembre’s blog to see more of her awesome nail designs!

    peace and love

    “My male clients, as a whole, had a feeling of overwhelming confusion when choosing skin care products,” explains Berardini. “I saw a need for high-quality, multi-functional products that weren’t too clinical or too kitschy, with an environmental sensibility. EVOLUTIONMAN covers all those bases.“

Or he may visit the groomers regularly and have department store products on his vanity. EVOLUTIONMAN allows him to use top-drawer products at a pace that fits with his lifestyle. He can keep it simple with just the Cleanse & Shave – or he can use the entire system to get the ultimate in results.

    While EVOLUTIONMAN meets the customer’s needs, Berardini made sure the brand matched his own expectations for delivering on a larger level.

    Accent Finger Mani

    While I was in Cancun, I developed a new hobby—painting my nails in fun, funky colors.  With my flexible schedule, I had plenty of time to give myself manis and pedis full of TLC. 🙂

     

    I first started doing the “accent finger” in February after I went to an event and received a mani by Logo TV’s “A-List” star, TJ Kelly.  After he “spiced” my eggplant purple mani with a yellow accent nail (Ginger + Liz lacquer), there was no going back for me!  I loved the look.  There are so many fun color combinations!!

     

    He also gave me a lil’ bling!

     

    Here are some of my other pairings…

     


    Are any of you also adding some pizzazz to you manis?

    Know Your Nails: Nail Kandy

    I LOVE the look of long beautiful nails but I’m tired of striping my nails by getting fakes! That’s why I spoke my dear friend Kate the other day about her nail creations!


    Who: Kate Bland – Creator of Nail Kandy www.nailkandy.etsy.com

    Created: June, 2010

    Why: Fed up and disappointed by the selection of nail art available at the nail salon she was going to, Kate  decided to do nail art herself. Having stocked up on a large amount of supplies she started making and selling one of a kind hand painted glue-on nails, which are very popular in Asia.

    Cost range: Between $10 and $30, depending. She has also started to sell nail art supplies (not created by Kate), that will probably be in the $1 to $10 range.

    Contest: Between June 24th, 2011 and July 24th, 2011 Kate is having a giveaway on her nail art blog, www.nailkandy.tumblr.com

    She is giving away a large selection of nail art supplies as well as two sets of “blank” nails (the ones she paints on) so that the winner can create their own set of of Nail Kandy nails. In order to enter, you must be following the blog and re-blog about the giveaway. All of the rules can be found here: http://bit.ly/NKgiveaway

     

    Happy Nails, happy gal. That’s what I think anyway. Here are the ones Kate did for me for my recent 80’s music video!

    Miley Cyrus Gets Minxed!

    Check out Miley Cyrus rocking minx nails at the Sydney Acer Arena on Saturday, June 26, for her Gypsy Heart Tour!

    “Miley wanted something really special and unique for her fingers and toes, and had already asked if I could provide Minx” said Sydney-based Zoe Vokis, who has also minxed A-listers such as Miranda Kerr, Terry Biviano,Tani Atkinson, Tony & Guy and Australia’s Top Model.  Zoe’s work is also showcased throughout top magazines such as Grazia and Harpers Bazaar and her unique defining details have become her signature in the industry.

    “Miley chose a variety of patterns, including Skull and Crossbones, MinxLusion Fishnet, and the Metallic Union Jack, but I also used a layering technique combining Yellow Chrome with Minx SnakeSkin to create a completely unique accent,” Zoe tells us. Miley said it “totally rocked!”
