Month: November 2013

With the holidays approaching, it is always a good reason to have an event. Rolando Santana and Zoya teamed up for a bloggers event to have fun with his nail look shown for NYFW. I was the creator of the look, so my team and I were on hand to re create the look for the bloggers. One big surprise for all of us, Zoya showed up in person. I finally got a chance to meet her and was so thrilled. She spoke to all of us and we couldn’t move from our seats. Her tone and voice were so soothing that you could listen to her for hours. She had the best, very true stories about being a manicurist and the nail business. She inspired everyone there including myself. She gave the manicurist in the room, assurance that we are just as important, if not more important, than our beauty counterparts.
It was a great event with DIY the look of the runway contest, champagne, cupcakes, mini manicures and gift bags. Zoya was the sugar on top. What a great voice.

Perfection is Possible!

Just when you thought it was safe to say, who’s next in nail color, Dolce & Gabbana had the answer with their new shades. I received them some time ago and I must say, they are a hit. They polish well, go on smooth and last over 7 days without chipping. This is one designer nail polish that hits the mark. I forgot to mention, the packaging looks very expensive and elegant. The bottles allow you to use all of the polish. Unlike some bottles where, once they drop past a certain point, the brush no longer reaches the bottom. Dolce is on the right track all around. Thank you

What’s old is new and what’s new is…Revlon’s Parumerie lightly scented nail polishes. Revlon has brought back an old idea of scented nail polish and revamped it. The bottles have a little sex appeal, that makes them great for displaying (which is what I plan on doing with them) Not sure, of how much of fan I would be for scented nail polish. It is said to last up to 24 hours, but mixing that scent with perfumes and lotions…ehhhhhh, I don’t know about that one. You can layer the colors which will also layer the scents. Would you want your nail polish to have a scent? Would you try these? At the price of $5.99 each it could be worth a shot. Does Revlon have a long road ahead with this old but new idea? Would love to know your thoughts.
