Matte Nails

Most people love the high gloss look of nails but I have been drawn to the matte nail look. Ive tried nails polishes that state they are matte, and they might remain matte for about a day or two but I have never found a matte polish that stays matte and lasts a long time....until NOW!

The best matte top coat I have found is "Essie Matte About You"! It works over any color nail polish which allows it to be very versatile and usable for multiple people. It is a little expensive at about 8$ depending on where it is purchased. Can be bought at Ulta or on their website. In addition, I bought mine on amazon for $7.90 (which included shipping + tax). Seems a little expensive for a top coat; however, it will last you a very long time! You only need one thin coat and you will see instant results.

In this picture, I put it over black and I left the tips glossy: (CLICK PIC TO ENLARGE)

Overall, I would definitely suggest this product if you want those unusual, fun, matte nails!

This Will Change Your Nail Life Forever

So I probably late on this train already but doesn't matter I have discovered magic. If you love painting your nails as much as I do then you need to try this AHHHMAZING top coat!

It's called Seche Vite, its a little pricey, I found it for $6.99 but its definitely worth your money. You apply this clear high gloss coat after your nail polish color has dried. It drys insanely fast, makes your nails hard as a rock, adds a high gloss shine, and prevents chipping! This is definitely my holy grail nail product and will continue to purchase this in the future.

Spring 2012 Trends

I don't necessarily like to follow the trends when it comes to fashion/ beauty but I love some of the trends that are popping up for spring.

1. Neon nail polish
2. Cat eye (winged liner)
3. Floral patterns
4. Bright jeans (pink, blue, peach)
5. Bright heels to pair with the perfect outfit
6. Wild shaped and colored sunglasses
7. Bright colored clutches and purses (Target)

These are just some of the trends for the spring and summer. I can't wait till the weather gets warmer and I can rock some of these amazing trends. Bright neon colors can be scary but paired with neutral colors can add a pop of color to your wardrobe. What are some of your spring fashion/beauty trends?
