Radiant Gypsies

Radiant Gypsies

 Good day everyone! This week's color is a great purple color that captures the darker side of the Radiant Orchid! My good friend Grace let me do her nails again to feature them on the Blog and they look so great with this color! As I was doing her nails I realized I had a lovely Cher song stuck in my head - Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves and the song was my inspiration for today's post. I ended up playing the song over and over again throughout the evening which brought on great laughs and even better memories.

Have you ever had girl time that happened like this?! Has it ever inspired your nail color choice?!

 This week's color is an "It Girl" Julep color called Evelyn. It is a lovely deep magenta purple creme based polish. 

This polish is THICK. Although I did two coats of color on Grace's nails, I probably could have gotten away with only one coat. However, if you don't put it on evenly, it can look a little bit goopy. Over all though, I would say this is a great polish! Leave extra time for drying or have some Quick Dry drops on hand. 


I am a HUGE Julep fan, I love the products and I love receiving my monthly box of nail polish. If receiving polish right to your doorstep sounds like something you are interested in, I would say to definitely look into it or try it out! "Julep Nail Color is '4 Free' and does not contain formaldehyde, formaldehyde resin, toulene or DBP" which makes their polish another great choice is you are trying to reduce your chemical usage or are interested in trying more natural products. 

You can purchase Evelyn at Julep.com. 

Be Radiant!

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
