Revlon Nail Enamel Irresistible As Worn By Spokeswoman Ciara

As Revlon says, “It’s never too early to bust out spring hues.” Bright, vibrant tints always dominate this particular season. Therefore, if you love color play Irresistible will be right up your alley.

Blue is a color that’s associated with the sea, sky, freedom and imagination. Moreover, it also denotes trust, confidence, wisdom, intelligence and stability. So then, if you want a color that not only makes a statement, but shows inner strength you must pick up this polish.

Nevertheless, we are not the only ones loving this new hot enamel. Revlon diehards weighed in on the Ciara’s nail look:

“Nice color, Ciara is perfection also, so gorgeous.”

“Simply beautiful!”

“I can’t wait to purchase my products. Great choice in having Ciara represent the Revlon brand.”

“Beautiful color I will be purchasing. By the way Ciara is beautiful.”

“Perfection.”

“Ciara looks SO beautiful here, Revlon she makes the perfect Revlon spokeswoman.”

“University of Kentucky color, I got someone in mind to gift this nail polish. Ciara you are beautiful girl.”

“Revlon I can’t thank you enough for selecting Ciara to be your Global Brand Ambassador. I have always been a Revlon customer but for some reason I never purchased a mascara until I saw Ciara talking about it. And I have to say it is the best mascara I have EVER had! I will also get into your new Nail Enamel with the hope for a similar awesome experience!”

“Love the nail polish, I will be in store soon to buy more products.”

Want to add this beauty product to your spring makeup arsenal? Irresistible is available in store as well as online now. Online we noticed many sellers were offering this particular nail enamel for less than $10. With most choices being between the $5-$7 range.

Beauty Notes: Of course we can’t get enough of Ciara’s new nail color. However, did you notice her gorgeous pink lipstick? If you adore it like us you’ll be happy to know we did a little digging to find out more about it. Revlon confirms that Ciara is wearing the Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Gentlemen Prefer Pink. Ugh… guess we’ll be picking up some of that too!

Beauty Quickie: How to Perfect Your DIY Manicure

Arianne Suggs December 11, 2016December 11, 2016Leave a Comment

Sometimes a DIY Manicure can look like…well, you truly did it yourself. However, don’t despair because getting the pro look at home can be achieved with one simple trick. Read on to learn how to easily avoid the oh so common messy nail paint finish.

Beauty Quickie: How to Perfect Your DIY Manicure

If you were not born with steady hands painting your nails can feel like your two years old again and trying to stay within the lines of a coloring book. Many companies have designed products to help make things less stressful. Think of the recent spray paint phenomena that allows users to spray on color and wipe away the excess. However, there is something even easier that you can try.

Vaseline. Say what? Yes, good ole Vaseline is a very low cost solution to ensure a great DIY Manicure. It’s effective because if you happen to paint or get nail polish on your skin it will not stick. Therefore, you will be able to achieve a nice clean look that will look very professional. All you have to do is:

1. Dip a Q-tip in Vaseline before you apply any polish.

2. Take the Vaseline Q-tip and rub it on your cuticles as well as all around your surrounding skin.

3. Get to painting.

DIY Manicure – Final Words

When applying Vaseline to your skin do your best to avoid getting any on the actual nail itself. Yes, you may not want any nail polish on your skin but you do want it to stick to your nails. If you do happen to get Vaseline on your nails clean it off with another Q-tip that has been soaked in rubbing alcohol.

Lakur Nail Polish Fighting Breast Cancer

Arianne Suggs September 17, 2015September 17, 2015Leave a Comment

We love Lakur’s collection of nail polishes for a number of reasons. First of all, they are eco-friendly so that means it is a natural product that will not be harmful due to it not including unnecessary chemicals. Now we know that a lot of ladies tend to shy away from natural nail shades because some have proven to have a weaker performance. Nevertheless, things have changed and formulas have improved making eco-friendly polishes just as great as their more toxic predecessors.

Moreover, Lakur’s nail polishes are infused with natural oils that will also aid in strengthening your nails. So then, you get great color as well as a stronger set of nails. Plus, if you purchase now you will be helping out a great cause. Right now fifty percent of sales will be going toward the Unite for Her organization that organizes programs for breast cancer patients.

Painting Toenails 101: Why Use a Separator?

Arianne Suggs October 6, 2014October 6, 2014Leave a Comment

Beauty Quickie: When painting your toenails a toenail separator will help to ensure that the nail polish does not smudge before it can dry completely. What if you do not own a separator? Take a tissue and roll it up then zig zag it between your toes. Doing this will create the same separation that a foam version would in order to ensure your nail application looks professional.
