Sally Hansen Nail Art Pen.

October 03, 2009/

I've seen these little cute nail art pens in the drugstore for awhile, but it wasn't until I went to the CVS Reinventing Beauty Lounge last month that I discovered just how fun they are to use. And easy!

The tip is really fine and the amount of color that comes out is really controlled so it just doesn't get messy. Within a few minutes of practice, you can be your own nail artist. If you mess up, just wipe it away. It is a water based paint, so while it does wipe away quickly, you need to let it dry for about 5 minutes and then seal your finished work with a top coat to make it last.

These pens comes in 8 great shades, just the right amount to bring out your inner artist.

Pick up a Sally Hansen Nail Art Pen at CVS or your local drugstore for $8. Have fun.

*I received a press sample of this product from a representative of the company.

CHANEL Jade Nail Collection.

September 18, 2009/

How utterly beautiful are these shades? I saw a few of my friends sporting this CHANEL shades during New York Fashion Week, and now I am wanting them both.

Global Creative Director of CHANEL Makeup, Peter Philips, created the Jade Nail Collection with two limited edition nail enamels. Check out “Jade” and “Jade Rose” for the Ready-to-Wear Autumn/Winter 2009-2010 runway show. These mineral-inspired shades transform the nails into genuine gems and recall the jade jewelry and the pink knit and pistachio tweed of the fashion collection.

The Jade Nail Collection will be sold for limited time exclusively at www.chanel.com, CHANEL Makeup Studios and CHANEL boutiques for $25.00.

Tracy Reese for Sally Hansen.

September 17, 2009/

I have always been a fan of the Tracy Reese Collections for Sally Hansen. Just Tuesday when I was covering the CVS Reinventing Beauty Lounge, I was treated to a manicure, and I chose the Tracy Reese Sally Hansen HD color Opulent Cloud. It is a beautiful metallic grey/brown with a soft gun-metal finish. It really looks different in every light, and I am making it a part of this season's wardrobe.

While I was having my manicure, I learned that Sally Hansen has once again joined forces with fashion icon Tracy Reese. For the eighth year in a row, Tracy has created the ultimate accessory for the feminine, yet modern spring wardrobe, inspired by Reese’s visionary spring collection.

At Tracy's runway show, the look was created with Sally Hansen Complete Manicure in Midnight In New York which provides a deep ebony base, while Hidden Treasure brushes on an unexpected finish of molten metallic, for an exclusive, never-been-seen before manicure.
