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.

Check out the awesomely cute pink nail tints in the collection and enjoy a little guilt-free shopping!

Lakur Nail polish retails for $16 pure bottle and can be purchased at londontownusa.com

2015 Spring Runway Nails Trend: Sheer Nude

Arianne SuggsUpdated on March 4, 2015February 25, 2015Leave a Comment

If you are looking for a classy and very expensive looking manicure style for spring as well as summer you should consider trying out a sheer nude look. Sheer nude nails were spotted during runway shows for Lela Rose and Nanette Lepore. How can you get this look?

First, apply a base coat or foundation that has a very creamy look and feel to it. Doing this will help to magically even out or minimize any imperfections found on the nail bed. Now with this one step your look can be complete but if you are the type of lady that likes a little more oomph then on a select few nails add a little bling. For the Lela Rose fashion show little pearl-like studs were delicately placed on select nails which added a very chic flair!

Being the glitter queen that I am I had to do a quick write up in the behalf of Zoya. I just wanted to thank them for understanding my need to sparkle and shine (LOL). Zoya has released a collection of glitter-tastic nail lacquers named Arianna (hey now! I’m Arianne), Oswin and Noir.

The mini collection’s colors fall in the red and plum families. I’m absolutely in love and can’t wait to add them all to my ever-growing nail polish collection. Want to get your hands on the Zoya Ultra PixieDust Fall 2014 Collection as well? Order yours now online by going to zoya.com. Happy painting!

Beauty Tip: Did you know that if you have chipped nails you can easily fix them with glitter? Just add a layer of glitter polish on top and the chipping will be disguised as a chic nail design. Shhhh…no one will know but you!
