As some of you may or may not know, I have been on a personal journey to safer, cleaner, better beauty. I've done some reading and research and I just can't unlearn what I now know. After learning of all the harmful ingredients in most nail polish including chemicals that should be no where near us let alone on our skin, I just knew there had to be better options. During my search for a safer alternative I found Green Spa On The Go and decided to give them a try. Not only was this the cutest nail salon I ever did see but the staff was so incredibly kind and friendly. The service was impeccable and best of all it was NOT rushed. They really take their time during your service and make you feel completely pampered. Green Spa uses products that are natural, non toxic, safe, and cruelty free including soy based nail polish remover, and non-toxic polishes. They also offer a line of their very own natural products which include scrubs, lotions, and candles. If you're in NYC or Long Island, Green Spa also offers at home services and corporate events. If you're not I recommend you look for a safer option in your neighborhood and treat yourself, you are worth it! As always thank you for stopping by!
How fun is this black nail polish by LAQA and Co. This tuxedo manicure polish pen is double-sided. One end is glossy the other matte. I created a French Mani (you can see it best in the second pic) but the designs possibilities are endless. I'm thinking polka-dots next! What do you guys think?
I'm back!!!!! Yes, Mani-Monday is back and I'm feeling the blues!
Cobalt blue is so HOT right now and I'm a big fan! This color is bold & beautiful and I think anyone can pull it off. If you're not quite ready to commit how about using it as an accent color? Go blue on your mani or try some blue accessories like a scarf or a cute pair of studs. Nails: Essie's Butler Please / Lips: Stila stay all day lipgloss in Beso / Top: Forever 21 (Similar) / Earrings: from my Stella & Dot site, these beauties can also be worn as a stud. See you next Monday! Xoxo

Nail art is a fashion trend that is here to stay. The Chevron Stripe Mani is the edgier cooler cousin to the classic French Mani. If you're a fan of the French Mani which is typically white or pale pink but want to try something a little bolder, give the Chevron a try. The color combinations are endless. You can keep it light & bright, or go bold & edgy like Krystal.
Pretty & Playful
Please leave your comments, I'd love to hear from you!
If you are color-phobic with your wardrobe and tend to stick to blacks & neutrals, why not try a POP color on your nails? It's a baby step and you may even surprise yourself. You may actually like it!
