So the other day in the hair salon I saw a woman who had green nails. I am not a huge fan of green but her nails looked AWESOME! She was wearing Sephora by OPI “Leaf Him At The Altar“ The color looks absolutely amazing. I am not sure how it will match with my complexion, but it doesn’t hurt to try…right?
It is a metallic vine green with great illumination. It has gold specks which really shimmers in the sunlight. To purchase visit any Sephora or shop online at www.sephora.com

I did a post about the Essie “Matte About You” Nail Polish. It is like a matte top coat finish. I have been meaning to purchase it and try it but it wasn’t until I saw these pics on www.ferOHHHsh.com that I actually want it now!

The 2009 is quickly coming to an end *tear* but be excited for what is in store for 2010!!! So I am going to give you my list of what was hot in beauty for the year 2009. Here it goes….
1. Edgy hair cuts “Shaved Heads” Definitely an epidemic!
2. Intense EyeLashes
3. Plum Lips
4. Metallic Eyeliner
5. Minx Nails
6. Alternating nail colors
Ok there you have it! Stay tuned for my list of best dressed celebrities, fashion trends, accessories, and more !
One of the latest trends that ruled the runway for Fall/Winter 2009 is the Ombre Effect! Ombre is a French word that means shading and is used to describe a technique used by many fashion designers where they fade or bleed colors into one another. Now this technique is somewhat difficult. You would not attempt to do the fading like we did back in the day with the half and half nails. You have to have the right polish to accomplish this look as well. I think colors that are vibrant and shiny would work better, it would be less of a dingy look if you tried with say a dull or matte color.
Calgel Usa have online training sessions and kits where they teach you the technique (www.calgelusa.com) . You can also go on youtube and type in Ombre Effect for nails and there are many videos that will pop up. I hope my nail technician can accomplish this because I simply love it!
When I first laid eyes on Matte polish I fell in love immediately!!!! It is something so sleek, sexy, and sophisticated about matte nails. In the Summer and Spring we tend to go for shiny, glossy, bright colors, but now that we are moving into Fall its time to switch up the nail candy.
Brands like O.P.I. (pictured above) have a pretty good selection of colors. My favorites are the black and the green. Alos pictured above is Zoya. These brands have a limited line/selection of matte colors.
Well Essie has created a new product “Matte About You” This is a matte finisher used like a top coat! You can apply the finisher to any nail polish and it will have a smooth matte finish! This great product is only $10. You can’t beat that price. Think about it this way, you can use all of the colors that you purchased for the summer in the Fall. The matte finish will tone down the glossiness and brightness to give it a sleek look, which is so appropriate for the fall.
This is an example of the product. Look at all of the possibilities with the matte finish! This is a great buy! you can purchase this product at www.essieshop.com
2. A Signature Scent-This scent is your confidence booster. When you walk in the room you will not only look fly, but when you walk by, you will leave a subtle reminder to those behind you. My signature scent is my Juicy Couture….When I wear it, I know that I smell like heaven. 
3. A Killer Pair of Heels-I call these the SHOW STOPPERS. The shoe can make or break the outfit so you want to make a statement! If you are on a budget, like me, you can get the Louboutin feel with out paying the Louboutin price….but I’m working on my pair of RED BOTTOMS! http://www.bakershoes.com/ Chantel $70
5. A Fly Cocktail Ring-The bigger the better! The cocktail ring is flattering on everyone and it can be a great way to spark up a conversation.
