Sally Hansen La Cross Sets

Kits, kits, kits! Here's a secret for you- I'm obsessed with them, especially during the holidays. They make great gifts since they're already packaged and bundled together and also love getting them for myself! You get to try more products, which are all conveniently located in one package.

Sally Hansen La Cross Manicure and Eye sets are perfect for your pals who are on the go! Each kit contains 4-5 tools that are necessary to get your perfect DIY manicure, or perfectly groomed eyes (nailpolish and eye makeup, sold separately!) and a sleek black zippered case to carry these tools. There's always room for your other essentials too! :)

	The manicure kit contains: - nail buff/shiner - nail file - nail clipper - nail cuticle clippers - nail cuticle pusher - black case My fave? The buff/shiner! When I don't have time to polish nails, I still like to keep my nails neat and shiny, so this kit is perfect!

Redbook Beauty Bash 2010

This past Saturday, I went to the Redbook Beauty Bash event at the Metropolitan Pavilion.

I had such a wonderful time this year!! And why wouldn't I? Manicures, massages, and a great goodie bag to take home! I appreciated that this year's event took place at larger venue because even though the lines were just as long, we were able to sip Solerno Blood Orange Bellinis while waiting. Plus, I was a VIP guest. :)

The entire floor was divided up into many spa treatment sections- from manicures to makeovers to eyebrow shaping. I waited for at least 40 minutes but I got the best manicure ever! Thanks to Spa Chicks on the Go who did all the spa services that day! My nails were beautiful painted in Essie's Mink Muffs- gorgeous taupe colour- and had all the extras- base & top coat and even the EZ dry treatment!

I also got a very relaxing shoulder massage. The masseuse definitely worked on my knots on my right shoulder. Blame it on my bag + lunch tote! It was about 4-5 minutes long and I wish it was longer! Interesting to see that these ladies are looking at everywhere but the person's shoulders!

The special guest of honor was Daisy Fuentes! She is coming out with a book in May called, Unforgettable You, filled with tips and tricks to make yourself Unforgettable. I was standing in line for the manicure when I took this picture of her. I was debating whether I should get off the line to get her autograph, but I didn't want to lose my spot either! It turns out she didn't stay very long, but at least I got to see her in person. She is gorgeous!!

N.Y.C. Nail Polish: Is it Worth Buying?

Hello Divas!

I hope your Wednesday is awesome!

Well it is official. Summer is here! This is the time to get regular manis and pedis and experiment with nail color. Of course, bright colors are always hot in the summer. This is why I decided to try N.Y.C. Nail Colors. I was looking for a nice yellow to wear when I am relaxing and not working! They had a great yellow and a host of other bright and funky colors. So I gave it a try.

First, the price point is great! Who can beat nail polish at 99 cents? However, the formula is very thin. I had to apply 4 coats to achieve the yellow color in the bottle. Next, the polish constantly streaked while applying. Even after applying 4 coats and drying, I never achieved a smooth finish. Just streaks, streaks, streaks! Not good. The one thing I did like about this polish is that it drys very quickly. Now that was impressive. How does it compare to Wet n' Wild's nail polish? Wet n' Wild is crushing N.Y.C. I previously blogged about the fabulousness of Wet n' Wild's Nail Polish here. Plus Wet n' Wild is also 99 cents.

Toodles!
