Some Radiant Vintage Violet with a dash of Tink-Her-Bell

Some Radiant Vintage Violet with a dash of Tink-Her-Bell

 Better late than never right?! Sorry this past week's post is a bit late - such a hectic week for me! But here it is: This week's color of the week is a lovely combination of Two Ulta brand Salon Formula Nail Lacquer polishes. 


The base coat color I chose to go along with our Radiant Orchid theme of the year is Vintage Violet. This polish color is so lovely! Vintage Violet is a pale pink creme polish that went on smooth as butter. It also dried really fast too!!! I give this polish an A++ on the fast drying time! 

As well, as I look down upon my nails (almost a week later) I notice that I only have ONE chip in my polish! Holy Cow, isn't that great?! Fast drying and Long lasting. 

As you can also see, this past week I was in the mood for a bit of sparkle on my nails. So I paired Vintage Violet with a great pink glitter polish called Tink-Her-Bell. I love glitter polishes and this one is making it's way to the top of my list! 

Tink-Her-Bell also dried really fast! Granted - I only did one light coat to give my nails the little extra shimmer I was needing - but regardless, it still dried fast enough for me to quickly move on to other nightly tasks without me worrying about bumping my freshly painted nails. 

Hands down, I am now a huge fan of Ulta brand polishes. If you are interested in getting your own bottles of Ulta's Salon Formula Nail Lacquer in Vintage Violet or Tink-Her-Bell, check out your local Ulta store or try online at Ulta.com. 

 If you have used any great polish colors lately, share them! I would love to post about your nails on the blog!

 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
