Radiant Orchid Rae

Radiant Orchid Rae

Hi Everyone! We have almost completed out the year! First off, I hope everyone's Christmas and Holiday's have been great. Also, I hope you are all safe in your travels, wherever they may take you!

I thought this Julep polish would be a good color to help us wrap up the year. Rae is Julep's nail polish that celebrates Pantone's color of the year, Radiant Orchid. It does an absolutely perfect job! Rae is the color that is the exact match to Pantone's color swatch.

Rae went on smooth and radiant, just like I had hoped! It took a bit of time to dry though...but when it was paired with Julep's amazing Freedom Polymer topcoat it was a manicure from the gods! It looked amazing and sophisticated.

To enjoy this beautiful classic with a twist color, check out Julep.com , your local Sephora, or even QVC. 

Have a radiant color to share? Show them off here! I would love to post about your nails 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
