My Radiant Grace

My Radiant Grace

 Hi!! This week I have another model! Also, I am using this post to help us gear up for Valentine's Day. This week's color is a beautiful Butter London polish and it was paired with a embellishment polish for a great Accent Nail! 

 This week's color is a Butter London pin called Primrose Hill Picnic. Check out these toes!! My good friend Grace came over for a pedicure and I painted her toes with this lovely color. Primrose Hill Picnic fits in well with the Radiant Orchid color of the year since Radiant Orchid is a color made up of Purples, Fuchsias and Pinks. 


This Butter London color went on great but definitely needed two coats of polish to look superb. Later the following week, Grace was preparing for a Valentine's Day themed Arts workshop at the museum where we work, and she requested the same color for her finger nails! Unfortunately I didn't get the opportunity to paint her nails, but she did a great job and even added a Accent Nail!


For Grace's Accent nail, I pulled out a fun shimmering glitter polish! This is such a fun Julep color named Vanessa that I really think pulled off the fun look she was wanting for the kid's workshop. 


To purchase these colors you can shop in a multitude of places! 

To get a bottle of Primrose Hill Picnic, try your local Butter London dealer or Ulta Store. You can also purchase it on Amazon. Feeling brave? You can get the matching "Lippy" at your local Ulta store or also on Amazon. 



To get a bottle of Julep's bombshell color Vanessa, you can purchase it on Julep.com. I personally can't wait to pair this fun color up again with some other bold and bright colors!


Valentine's Day is coming up and I would love to see what you are doing with your nails on this special day! If you paint them for Friday send me a picture! I would love to post it on the blog!

Be Radiant!
Amanda

The Radiant Phia

The Radiant Phia Hi Everyone! Julep has done it for me again. This week's color is a great shimmering purple! Phia is described as an "alluring orchid iridescent chrome" (there's that orchid theme again, yay!) is an amazing polish.  Because of the chrome-like effect of this polish, it makes it last even longer. Its almost as long lasting as your toughest glitter polish! What's even better is that it dried really quick too and was perfect even with two thin coats of color. Another win for Julep, my nails, and my time!! However, my favorite part of this polish is the fact that it has a slight green shimmer to it when you put it into the light. So pretty! So shiny! and So sophisticated too! If you want to get a bottle of Phia just check out  Julep's Website ! Sometimes you can even find the polish at your local Sephora or on QVC. If you have painted your nails with a great color, show them off! I would love to share your n

Keep That Callus

Image
Keep That Callus First off, a callus is a thickened and hardened part of the skin or soft tissue, esp. in an area that has been subjected to friction. In regards to nail technology, most calluses that are seen in the salon are found on the bottoms of the heels, and sides of the feet and toes. Many common calluses are also found on pressure points on the bottoms of the feet. I always get  them on the backs and edges of my heels.  Sometimes, we notice that calluses cause us agitation or pain, and thus we wish to reduce them.  Have you ever gone into a discount nail salon and seen one of these tools used on your feet? At some nail salons, your pedicurist might offer to shave your calluses with a credo blade (that handheld device that looks like a cross between a razor and a vegetable peeler seen above). But, however tempting the allure of callus-free feet may be, I suggest you turn down the offer immediately! You see, in most states, having a pedicurist shave your calluse
