12 Days of Luxetips Before Christmas! Day Three: Holiday Mani/Pedi

Hello Divas!

How was your day? I hope it was simply wonderful!

Day Three in our 12 Days of Luxetips Before Christmas Series focuses on beautiful holiday mani/pedis. Although it may be too cold to show your toes, pampering yourself with a mani/pedi is a must during the holidays!

I recommend short but well manicured nails during the holiday season. All of the cool dark and sparkly holiday nail polishes look fantastic on short nails. Here are some of my favorite holiday colors:

Essie's Wicked. A rich dark deep wine. I simply love it! A cult classic.

OPI's Sapphire in the Snow. A rich purple. OPI has the best colors.

Revlon's Vixen. The less expensive version of Chanel's Vamp. Love!

Chanel's Trapeze. A taupish silver metallic that is all the rage for the holidays. Chanel polishes are a bit expensive, but they do set the trends. HOT!

Fun Friday: Vogue Italia and other tidbits

Hello Divas!

Its the weekend baby! Whoohoo! Today I am doing something a little different. Instead of discussing my latest beauty find, I am going to talk about miscellaneous fun stuff. For example, check out this cool interview by Blaq Vixen Beauty featuring little ole me here. Also, I have officially obtained one of the original prints of the Vogue Italia All Black Issue July 08. I have the "RED" cover featuring Ethiopian-born bombshell Liya Kebede. I went through a WHOLE LOT to get this issue. All the Barnes & Nobles in Atlanta only received....drumroll please....10 copies total! Can you imagine. I was like one of 500 people vying for one of the 10 copies. Borders did not get it at all! A fellow twittian on Twitter, saw my posts looking for the issue and she sent me her extra copy. If you are looking for gorgeous designer discounted lingerie check out her site at www.knickersblog.com/bargains. Gotta love Twitter! Well this copy is being packed away. I am saving it for my daughter...when she becomes a little older. However, I am getting a copy of the reprints Vogue Italia recently distributed and this will sit on my coffee table. So excited!

Have a Great Weekend! Toodles!
