Beauty Products that are Not Worth Your Money: Episode 1

Hey Guys,

I almost always write about products I LOVE. However, over the past few months I have tried a few products that were less than satisfactory. I think it’s important that I share these with all of you so you don’t end up wasting money! I really want to make sure that everything I write about is helpful and honest.

Keep in mind that the following are my opinions, and others may not have had similar experiences with these products. I hope you find this entertaining, funny or helpful!

Thank you so much for watching!

Love,

How To Avoid and Remove Nail Polish Stains

Hey Guys,

One of the most disappointing things is when you paint your nails a beautiful new color only to find out that when you go to take it off, it stains your skin and nails! I painted my nails a beautiful blue color by Sinful Colors, and  when I went to take it off with nailpolish remover, it left me with blue hands!

I made a video showing you how you can avoid this from happening, and what you can do if  it does happen to you! I hope you enjoy!

 

Another thing I should mention is that I have found that “cheaper” nail polish brands tend to leave staining. Be careful with the color and brand you choose!

Thank you guys so much for reading and watching! I hope you will subscribe if you want to see more blog posts and videos.

My Current Favorite Nail Polish Brands- Top Formulas

Hey Guys!

Do you want to know what nail polish was worn by Jennifer Lawrence and Naomi Watts at the Golden Globes a few weeks ago?? Well, you’re going to have to watch my video to find out! It just so happens to be one of my FAVORITE nail polish brands of all time.

I have tested high end and drugstore, and these two brands I’m going to show you have always seemed to last the longest on my nails without chipping. The formulas are long lasting, the brush/applicator is awesome, and they’re celebrity approved!! So check out my video to find out my top nail polish picks. :)

 

I hope you enjoyed seeing what brands I LOVE, if you have nail polish faves, please share them with me. :)

Burgundy/Red Nail polish for Fall 2012!

 

Hey Guys!

I wanted to share my latest Fall nail polish love. I’m over bright colors and into dark rich colors. This burgundy/red color I found is my favorite right now for fall. The color I’m wearing is called, “Red Zin” from Sally Hansen’s Salon Manicure line.

Not only do I love this color, but the nail polish brand itself is one of my favorites. This polish stays on really well, and doesn’t chip off as easily as most other brands I’ve tried. It is a base coat, polish and top coat in one.

One tip I have to share is that  many times ULTA stores have clearances on some of their discontinued or out of season colors. Normally, this brand Salon Manicure by Sally Hansen costs about $6.99- $7.50.But, I found this color on clearance for $1.99!

What are some of your favorite nail polish trends and colors for Fall??

Love, Lauren

Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure-All 5 Manicure Steps in a bottle

 

Hey Guys!

I’m picky when it comes to nail polish. I love to paint my nails, but don’t like how easily it chips off. I can never seem to keep nail polish on my nails for more than 2 days.

I have written about the Rimmel polish that I love and is very long lasting, but I’ve found another that really is better than any others I’ve tried, Sally Hanson Complete Salon Manicure; it is better than any high end brands I’ve tried like OPI and Essie.

It claims to be 5 steps in one, including base coat and top coat. I have found that this polish comes in a wide variety of colors, is super thick and shiny and it stays on my nails a good 3-4 days before I feel like I need to take it off.

Salon manicure by Sally Hansen costs about $7 , but it’s worth it for me to spend that on a polish that will last longer than most. My two favorite colors right now are the  ” Shall we Dance?” ( a soft pink) and “shrimply devine” , a bright coral pink.

Hope you all enjoyed your weekend! If you have any questions, feel free to send them to : Lauren@lovelobeauty.com

 

Remember: We can adorn ourselves with things of this world to make us feel beautiful on the outside, but our actions and relationships with others , the qualities that make us beautiful people are far more important.

Color Inspiration- Bright Orange and Pink Nails

I absolutely love that bright colors are in for spring and summer.  Pink and orange are one of my favorite color combinations. Any shade of pink and any shade of orange…it’s definitely a feminine color combination. 

 Bright summer nails inspired by  the orange and pink color combination. (The color is not showing up very well in the photo..but they were very bright. ) I used Sally Hansen’s Extreme Wear color Sun Kissed, Rimmel London’s Lasting Finish Pro in Sunset Orange and New York Summer’s Hot Rocket Pink Nail polish.

 What are some of your favorite nail color combinations this spring and summer? What colors inspire you?

My Nail Polish Collection/Organization

Hey Everyone!

I have recently been nail polish obsessed. All of the fun bright colors of spring have inspired my nail designs. But, there is one little problem with a huge nail polish collection- storage and organization! For months now I have been trying to figure out how to organize my nail polish collection.

I wanted to find a spice rack or something like it for the wall, but instead I found clear shoe drawers at the Container Store. I got 5 clear drawers that you can stock on top of one another. I coordinated them by color. Here is a short video showing how I organize and store my nail polish collection. 

Just to preface: This is years worth of nail polish as well as collections I’ve received to review. :)

If you have some cool ideas of how to store nail polish or more organizational tips, please leave your comments below.

Thanks!

Love,

Lauren

  • Lemon Zing – Sunny yellow
  • Kiwi Lime – Vibrant green
  • Blue Mint – Cheerful mint
  • Berry Blue – Classic periwinkle
  • Purple Sorbet – Dark lilac
  • Lavender Icing – Soft lilac

I am so impressed with these polishes so far! They are not only very pigmented and opaque but also longer wearing than some of my other drugstore brands. There is  a rainbow of colors here…something to suit anyone’s taste. :)
