7 Tips For Avoiding Nail Polish Stains
Even though I get excited when fall comes and I break out my favorite deep, dark polishes, there’s always one caveat to wearing them… staining. Whether it’s during application or removal we’ve all experienced the irritation of polish stains on the skin. If you’ve ever worn a deep blue, you KNOW what I’m talking about. OPI DS Fantasy, I’m looking at you! Smurf hands aren’t cute except maybe on Halloween and even then blue skin isn’t exactly the hotness.
So one of my missions while backstage during New York Fashion Week was to get some tips from the pros working behind the scenes. I’ve combined their best advice with a couple of my own ideas and a quick tutorial video to help you wear your vampies with ease. |
“What’s On Your Nails?” with Monique from Beauty Girl Musings
 What’s On Your Nails? is a series focusing on my fellow beauty bloggers and industry insiders, their favorite nail polish and other hot nail topics.Fanatics, I’d like you to meet Monique Hankins the beautiful brains behind Beauty Girl Musings. I met Monique over a year ago in LA and was immediately taken aback by her bright, sparking smile and ridiculously glossy mane. She’s seriously stunning. But more than that, she’s one of the sweetest people you’ll ever meet, stylish and looks way too young to be married with two children. If she wasn’t so charming, you’d hate her.
Between BGM and her Beauty Editor position at Style Bakery Beauty she’s one busy bee and extremely beauty savvy which includes a healthy polish obsession. Learn more about this glam-mom blogger and see which OPI shade is tops on her list, after the jump! |
“What’s On Your Nails?” with Sarah from StyleIt
| What’s On Your Nails? is a series focusing on my fellow beauty bloggers and industry insiders, their favorite nail polish and other hot nail topics.Sarah Conley from StyleItOnline.com is one of my oldest and dearest blog friends. She is literally the first person to befriend me in a world where it’s easy to get lost in isolation. She showed me the ropes and what it means to be part of the blogging community. If it wasn’t for her advice-filled chats/phone calls leading up to my first NY Fashion Week experience, I probably wouldn’t have had the guts to step on the plane.
When it comes to the fashion world most of us are just bystanders but Sarah lives and breathes it. Seeing her, giddy like a kid the night before Christmas, spot one of her fave models stomping the catwalk or gushing over the latest MAC launch, her passion is infectious. With the recent revamp of her On The Plus Side series, documenting her daily outfits in all her plus-sized glory, she has amazed me once again.

The ALU Archives – Shu Uemura P665
The ALU Archives focuses on older, beloved shades from the All Lacquered Up stash.
A sweet reader, Faye, emailed me quite some time ago about how she visited the L’oreal Company Store and spotted two GREEN Shu Uemura nail polishes that I just had to have. I was floored and flattered that she thought of me and was kind enough to send them my way. The generosity of strangers, I tell you!
One of the polishes is a dark green creme a la NARS Zulu and the other is such a unique hue, words fail me to describe it. Take a peek after the jump!

“What’s On Your Nails?” with Dina from eye4style
| What’s On Your Nails? is a series focusing on my fellow beauty bloggers and industry insiders, their favorite nail polish and other hot nail topics.Fanatics, I have a treat for you today. Dina from eye4style is sharing her latest nail polish find with us. It’s funny, I virtually met Dina what seems like forever and a day ago. She quoted me in an article about French manicures back when only a few of you knew I existed.
Since then, I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Dina at random NYC events and she’s a big ball of fabulous. With a biting wit and a flare for fashion that includes her love of fun footwear (a “party on the feet” as she calls it), Dina is a blast to be around. Remember when I told you about her CalGel gradation from NYFW? The girl obviously has an “eye for style”! Though it’s her charm and humor that make eye4style one of my must-reads so if it’s not on your blog reader, hop to it! See the polish Dina discovered on her recent trip to London after the jump! |
