Manicure Tips and Tools From Sally Hansen

Sally Hansen has released some cool tools that will help you achieve a flawless manicure!

A natural nail should be shaped to mirror the shape of your cuticle. This is the natural shape the nail grows and will keep the structure of the nail intact. Breaking, cracking or splitting happens when the nail shape is altered. Always file in one direction; Never saw back and forth on the nail as this will shred the very delicate keratin layers of the nail, causing chipping and nail peeling!

Sally Hansen Ahead of the Curve 2 Step Sapphire File ($4.49 USD). This double-sided nail file features a two-part smooth and shape system with medium grit on one side and fine grit one the other. Start with the medium grit to adjust nail length and shape then follow with the fine-grit outer curve for a perfectly smooth finish.

Sally Hansen Nail Shaper Nail Boards ($1.29 USD) — The ideal filing surfaces for nails not too hard, not too soft.

Sally Hansen No More Ridges Nail Shaper & Buffer ($1.49)- Shape, smooth, buff and shine nails with this professional salon smoothing block.

As the ultimate color authority, Sally Hansen has always been at the cutting edge of nail innovation. First, Sally Hansen introduced the first-ever polish to deliver five steps of a professional manicure with the Complete Salon Manicure collection ( $7.99 USD each). Now the nail care leader is upping the ante with two additional benefits—gel-like shine and chip-resistance—for the ultimate 7-in-1 formula.

New pastels are dusty(I Lilac You), urban (Gray-T Escape) and not your standard pink or lavender(Pink a Card) for a more wearable and less traditional spin.

Jergens Daily Moisture Dry Skin Moisturizer with Silk Proteins and Citrus Extracts

I don’t know about where you live, but in Kansas City the weather is so unpredictable. It was 65 and thunderstorming when I woke up at 6 this morning and it is now 38 and about to snow. My poor skin is so confused!

That’s why I have been loving Jergens® Daily Moisture Dry Skin Moisturizer ($6.99 USD). It has a new formula that is touted to moisturize for 24 hours straight and transform dry, rough skin into visibly smooth skin. Here are more details:

Enriched with moisturizing Silk Proteins and a Citrus Extract blend, the formula leaves skin looking and feeling healthy and smooth while stimulating the senses with a unique, energizing fragrance. By combining superior 24-hour hydration and skin smoothing benefits you can see, Jergens® Daily Moisture Dry Skin Moisturizer leaves skin looking four times smoother immediately and visibly increases skin’s smoothness all day.

What I think: This lotion is perfect for moisturizing my weather-exhausted skin. I especially like using it on my very dry elbows and knees, but it is not greasy at all so I can use it as hand lotion and type on my computer! Awesome. And the price is very affordable for a large bottle (21 fl oz with a pump).

Available at mass retailers and drugstores nationwide.

The new China Glaze® “Cirque du Soleil: Worlds Away” ($7 USD Each)inspired nail polish collection will bring to life the wonderfully exotic artistry that is presented throughout the film. The China Glaze® nail polish collection combines rich crèmes, soft shimmers and bold glitters to create 12 limited edition shades including:

• Whirled Away – Black and white collage glitter
• It’s a Trap-eze – White cream base with multi glitter
• Escaping Reality – Neon raspberry pink
• Surreal Appeal – Rich coral crème
• Def Defying – Lime green crème
• Running in Circles – Cilantro green shimmer
• Hanging in the Balance – Cerulean blue crème
• Water You Waiting For – Shimmering blue green purple
• Creative Fantasy – Grape neon
• Bend Over Backwards – Pepper red shimmer
• Igniting Love – Hot tamale red crème
• Get Carried Away – Multi-sized black and red collage glitter with black crème

I love mixing the creme’s with the glitters. The colors are fun and bright — perfect to perk up the winter blahs! Visit http://www.chinaglaze.com to learn more.

Another fun China Glaze Collection is Tranzitions. China Glaze® Tranzitions’ revolutionary new nail lacquer reacts when a clear top coat is applied,

changing the color from one shade to another for a stunning effect. Wear any of the six beautiful,
color-shifting shades alone, or allow your creativity to run wild and create intricate nail designs by
applying a top coat in specific places. Try different looks using nail art brushes, free-hand designs
or nail guides. Because each shade changes color, you get two lacquers in one, creating an
entirely new look with just one swipe.

The China Glaze® Tranzitions collection features six shades, though with the color transition, you

get 12 unique shades including:

• Split Perso-NAIL-ity – Dusty pink shifts to fuchsia
• Duplicityy – Mint green shifts to vibrant teal
• Modify Me – Periwinkle blue shifts to indigo blue
• Altered Reality – Teal blue shifts to turquoise
• Metallic Metamorphosis – Silvery grey shifts to bluish-charcoal grey
• Shape Shifter – Smokey violet shifts to dark purple

How It Works:
Step 1: Apply a base coat.
Step 2: Apply two coats of China Glaze® Tranzitions shade of choice. Allow to completely dry.
Step 3: Lastly, apply one coat of clear top coat such as China Glaze® Fast Forward and watch the color change right before your eyes.

These are very cool, but when you apply the top coat, the darker shade is a little streaky. I think it would take practice to master a perfect look, but really fun to try! Visit http://www.chinaglaze.com to learn more.

Enjoy your new look!

Forever Red Exclusively at Bath and Body Works

I have received a sample of the fragrance Forever Red Exclusively at Bath & Body Works complimentary to test through Influenster’s VoxBox program. To learn more about the program, visit www.influenster.com. If you would like to join, I have 3 invites left so leave a comment and I will invite you to join!

Bath & Body Works’ most luxurious longest lasting fragrance, Forever Red, blends opulent notes of fiery red pomegranate and delicate peche de vigne, a rare and fleeting French peach. Soft petals of red osmanthus give way to notes of addictive velvety marshmallow and a surprising finale of rich vanilla rum that leaves an unforgettable impression.

Forever Red is available in:
Eau du Parfum
Fine Fragrance Mist
Rollerball & Lip Wand Duo
Shower Gel
Body Lotion
Triple Moisture Body Cream
Shimmer Mist
Golden Sugar Scrub

What I think: This is a really sweet fragrance. The pomegranate is pronounced, but instead of a bit of a tartness that pomegranate brings, the peach and other notes make it super sweet.

This is a fragrance that I would not usually wear because I like fresher notes, but it is perfect for the girl who loves sweet, fruity scents!

Where to Buy: You can find Bath and Body Works products at a registered retail store near you or online at bathandbodyworks.com!
