LuLu*s How To: Removing Glitter Nail Polish

Brittany — Mon, 21 May 2012 09:00:00 +0000

If you’ve ever used a textured, glittery nail polish, it can be a nightmare to remove, especially if you love changing up your polish as often as I do. Now you don’t have to waste any more time scrubbing and scraping that glitter off, because we’ve found a great way to get the polish off without all the hassle!

Materials needed:

Cotton balls/strips
Acetone
Aluminum foil

Instructions:

*I recommend doing one hand at a time so that there’s no mess and you’re able to secure the foil on each finger.

Take pieces of the cotton balls/strips, dab some acetone on them and place on the nail.
Cut the foil into strips large enough to fit around your finger tips.
Wrap the foil around the nail and the cotton.
Wait 5-10 minutes and the glitter polish will slide right off!

Voila! Now you have a clean canvas to work on and you can change up your polish as often as you’d like!

Site to See: The Nail Pro

Annie — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 09:00:00 +0000

I saw these fabulous Gatsby nails on the Out of Print blog, and they made me smile, so in my search for more smiles, I found that this talented nail artiste, Lauren, has a whole Tumblr dedicated to her awesome nail masterpieces. It’s called The Nail Pro, and I couldn’t stop scrolling until I had seen every single tiny work of art.

Aaaaand, she does YouTube tutorials for many of the designs, so you can, theoretically, recreate many of these little gems yourself. Not all of the designs are cartoons and such either. She has plenty of ideas that actually look quite doable. Though, silly me, I’m just here to look at cartoons.

Current Beauty Obsessions

Stephanie — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 09:00:00 +0000

Who doesn’t love great beauty products? I will pretty much try any brand from drugstore to high end. I have found that often times quality comes with a price tag and those products will last longer due to their higher quality. I, for one, will gladly shell out a bit more money to get a quality product with great results. I wanted to share with you some of my favorite beauty products that make my routine that much brighter!

Dermalogica Multi-Vitamin Thermafoliant

Starting off with a clean face is a no-brainer but having polished and exfoliated skin will make your skin that much brighter and healthier. Dermalogica is a truly great skin care brand and this is one of their best products! The Multi-Vitamin Thermafoliant is an amzing exfoliant that warms when you apply it to your face. It polishes away dead skin and leaves your skin super soft and healthy.

Dermalogica Multi-Active Toner

Toners are amazing. You can use a little spray whenever your skin feels dry, even over your makeup! The Multi-Active Toner, also from Dermalogica, not only makes you feel refreshed and hydrated, it actually balances your skins PH, preparing it for any treatment products or moisturizers that are to follow. This means your moisturizer will go the extra mile and you may even have to use less! Need a new moisturizer? Read on!

Estee Lauder Day Wear

Estee Lauder has been a long time favorite of mine when it comes to skin care. Day Wear is my favorite moisturizer right now and, believe me, I have tried several of their other day time moisturizers. This is really smooth and oil-free and offers up a hefty SPF 25 as well as anti-oxidants! My skin feels so soft after putting it on and it creates some kind of barrier where it stays that way all day. It even has anti-aging properties if you are interested in looking as beautiful as you do now forever!

Benefit High Beam

An absolute go-to of mine is Benfit’s High Beam. This face highlighter can be blended all over the face to give a dewy glow, but I prefer to use it as a spot highlight. Applied down the bridge of the nose, along the very top of your cheekbone, a small spot on the chin and a few spots on the forehead and your skin will have a really healthy glow! This is by far the best thing to help you look more awake and refreshed in the morning and also to look totally picture perfect. It is the ideal pinky-shimmer that compliments all skin tones!

Urban Decay Naked 2

In pretty much the most anticipated followup product ever, Urban Decay recently released Naked 2 a sequel to their extrememly famous Naked palette. These palettes focus on neutrals but trust me, they are anything but boring! Naked 2 is packed with 12 rich shades of gold, browns and coppers some matte as well as several shimmers. I can’t wait to get my hands on this new palette. I know I will be obsessed!

Miss Dior Cherie

This is my favorite scent of all time! Girlie yet fresh with a sweet undertone. Everyone needs a signature scent to be remembered by and this is definitely not one you can easily forget! A little goes a long way so make sure to use sparingly. Again, when you pay more you often get more in the long run!

What are some of your favorite beauty products!?

Nicki Minaj for O.P.I.

Sienna — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 09:00:00 +0000

If there is one celebrity out there who knows color, it’s Nicki Minaj. This flamboyant pop princess is never seen in anything duller than candy pink lipstick and highlighter-stricken hair, so O.P.I releasing a series of nail color based on Miss Minaj was an obvious choice, right?

Like a kid in a candy store, we are being treated to six fantastic new colors with all the flair of Nicki, and using her song titles to boot. The sad part, though . . . they won’t be released until January 2012. (Boohoo!)

Well, we’ll just have to wait, and perhaps settle for a turkey or reindeer-inspired manicure in the meantime.
