This month, Nicole by OPI released its first neon nail lacquer with two limited edition mini kits. Scandalous! Neons contains: blue, purple and pink shades and Notorious!

Monday Manicure: Monday Blues f/ Avon’s Sunshine & Sea Breeze

Posted on August 27, 2012 by Raijean S

I just got back from the Niche Mommy Conference and between the storm here in Chicago and the expected Hurricane in New Orleans, I needed something bright to brighten my mood! I went through my nailpolish collection and pulled out Avon’s Nailwear Pro+ in Sunshine and Sea Breeze! I’ve never worn Avon’s polish but after using it I’m quite impressed! The color only required 2 coats and it lasted 5 days before it began to chip! I got these polishes at an event so I can’t say they were on my radar but after using them I will definitely be checking for … Read More

Laquer Freak: Lane Bryant Nail Polish?? Who Knew?

Posted on June 24, 2012 by Raijean S

Apparently, I didn’t get the Lane Bryant makes nail polish memo!!!! While at Full Figured Fashion Week, I received several bottles of Lane Bryant Polish, I was totally clueless that they even had a polish line in the first place. I went to find a few bottles on-line but came up empty. I saw a Cacique for Lane Bryant polish but not the ones that I received. But anywhoo…. Check out this week’s manicure using the polish I received from Lane Bryant. The names of the color weren’t listed so I’m assuming that this polish isn’t sold in stores. Surprisingly, the color … Read More
