Way back in junior high when I was just starting to get interested in fashion, I couldn’t afford designer clothing, nor would my mom drop big bucks on things that I was bound to outgrow quickly.

Whenever I get my nails done, I always wish that I could afford something a little bit extravagant, like a cool design. I have absolutely no artistic ability, so doing my own nail art is pretty much impossible. I’ve been hearing a lot lately about Konad nail stamps though, and I’m sort of interested in testing them out! The design above was done by Beautopia! More »

In my earlier post, I didn’t write about the lovely Miss Marion Cotillard at last night’s awards ceremony. That’s because she deserves her very own post!

2009 was the year for expressing yourself through your nail polish. And bright colors it was. OPI even came out with a whole line of brightly colored polishes that were sure to be noticed.

There are a few reasons why bright nail polish colors were so popular in 2009. First of all, the economic outlook was pretty dreary. Since lots of us were feeling pretty “blah” in other areas of our lives, we wanted to brighten things up a bit with bright, colorful nail polishes. No matter what your mood is, brightly colored nails can lift your spirits in a second. More »

Last summer, Beyonce sported shiny silver on her hands. Brooke Shields work a metallic blue shade on her toes, and Brooke Burns wore silver. No, it wasn’t the return of the 80s, but rather a hot trend that was worn both on the runway, and on the red carpet by celebrities such as Lauren Conrad, Kate Winslet, Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan and so many more. Whether you love the look, or hate it, plenty of hot colors came out this year and they blend with most outfits. Although nearly every nail polish line has created amazing metallic shades (not going to name them all!), here are a few of my personal favorites: More »
