Fifty-Two Weeks

Kookie White from JINsoon Nail Lacquer First off - Oh My God. I am in LOVE with JINsoon nail polish. This past weekend my mom and I went on a Northern, Va. adventure and did a fair bit of shopping at Tyson's Corner Center Mall. During our shopping spree, I landed a really great deal at Nordstrom, and then finally had the chance to go into Sephora and grab some JINsoon polish.  I am not sure which polish I was more excited about trying, but I did the eenie-meenie-minie-mo and decided to try the JINsoon first. This polish is AMAZING. Which would stand to reason - I would expect nothing less than perfection from the amazing nail artist Jin Soon. Here's a little Bio on the magical nail lady herself:  "Known for her elegant simplicity, Jin Soon Choi is one of the most influential nail artists in the industry. Born in Korea, Jin moved to New York City in 1991 and quickly built a reputation as a rising freelance nail artist. Her early experiences manicuring at salon...

Pretentious Radiance Hi Everyone! I am excited to tell you about this week's color of the week! Not only is this polish colorful, it's also good for you! DerMElect Cosmetics has a special line of "Anti-Aging" nail treatments and color that are "The first peptide-infused nail treatments". I put this polish on before I did any research about the products and I have to admit...the polish felt good on my nails! Now that I have done the research I understand that the feel good sensation I was getting was from its specialized formula that is geared towards healthy nails. Literally, this polish is good for "ME" . " Dermelect is the first cosmeceutical line jointly formulated by medical professionals and licensed estheticians." <-- How neat is that ?!  The color I chose was Pretentious , which is a purple passion color. It went on smoothly, and after the second coat of polish it looked amazing! I topped it off with one of my ...

The Radiant Cameron Hello Everyone! I hope everyone is having a great week, I know I feel good - I was poolside most of the weekend which is where I painted my nails for this weeks post! This week's color of the week is an amazing Julep Stardust Finish named Cameron.  I absolutely LOVE Julep's Stardust Finish polishes.  Just like the others I have used Cameron went on so great that I only needed One coat of color! This polish went on smooth and dried so fast! I can't complement Julep's Stardust polishes enough.  If you're interested in purchasing a bottle of Cameron check out Julep.com and grab a bottle - or better yet, become a maven and grab a whole box of amazing polishes! If you have used a polish lately that you loved, please share it so I can post about it on the blog.  Be Radiant! Amanda #fiftytwoweeksofnails @theradiantamanda

What to do when your polish isn't where you want it The typical scene: You are home alone, watching a good movie and painting your nails when....oops! You just got your hair in your wet nails! Then you scramble to get it out...but yet this messes up three other nails because you have bumped those into your shirt. Now polish is in your hair and on your shirt, and as you realize this, you knock over the entire bottle of polish with your elbow onto your wooden coffee table and the flow runs onto the carpet below...you know, that great area rug you snagged on sale from Pier One? Now you have to start all over, clean the table, the carpet, your shirt, and still get the polish out of your hair... I just read a great article the other day abut removing nail polish and I thought for this post I would share with you some of what I know and just learned about removing this oh so beautiful but deadly staining substance.   Let's start with your hair: If the polish is still wet,...
