In only 12 short days, the Hunger Games movie will be in theatres! But who’s counting, right? =)
I’m a big fan of the series , so when I heard that China Glaze was coming out with a polish collection based on it, I was one very excited little fangirl.
So far I’ve tried out several of the shades but haven’t decided which one I’ll be wearing to the movie. I’m thinking Electrify might be the winner since I love Katniss’ Opening Ceremony dress.
What about you? Do you have a favorite of the collection? Will you be attending the movie on opening night?
The China Glaze Hunger Games Collection is available in Sally Beauty stores and online at SallyBeauty.com.

I’m a shoe lover, so my pedicure is the first thing on my mind when I’m getting ready for spring weather. Usually I book the appointment at the nail salon ASAP, but this year I tried something a little different.
I came upon a great little unit that gives me salon results at home. I didn’t believe it until I tried it myself, and now I can honestly say the Emoji Micro-Pedi is wonderful! It’s a battery powered rotating roller that gets rid of all the dry and cracked skin on your feet, leaving them super soft.
Follow this with Heel to Toe Moisturizing Therapy Foot Repair, a little nail polish on the toes and you will be ready for some sling back peep-toe shoes!
After this little self-pampering session, I definitely have a little spring in my step!

It’s been awhile since I’ve told a teenage son story. Don’t get me wrong, he is full of witty comments and the stories are overflowing, but it’s been awhile since we’ve shared a nail polish moment.
Well, we shared one. This fall, FingerPaints launched Fun-fetti, which is a multi-color, multi-shape glitter in a clear base. 
Anyway, one day while he was out I applied the glitter polish to my toesies. He didn’t notice for a couple of days and then these words came out of his mouth “WHAT IS ON YOUR TOES?!” with disgust. I’m used to getting that from my mother, but not him.
“Well, son, it’s Fun-Fetti. Isn’t it great with all the different colors? The reflection of the light, the fun shades - it makes my toes want to dance! The look on his face definitely let me know that he did not want me dancing. Moms are soooo embarrassing, right? =)
But what do teenage boys know about fashion anyway? FingerPaints Fun-Fetti truly is fun and colorful! You can apply it alone or layer it with your favorite color. Whatever the case, it will dazzle!
It’s available online for only 2 more weeks, so get it while you can!

Growing up my sister always had an angel food cake with funfetti frosting for her birthday. That creamy, color-flecked frosting was so delicious it almost made up for the fact that someone was getting presents and that someone wasn’t me. I’m the baby of the family, what can I say?
Those birthday memories plus the fact that I’m slightly obsessed with all things sparkly at the moment, makes the limited edition FingerPaints Fun-Fetti (available exclusively at SallyBeauty.com) my new favorite thing.
It’s a densely packed multi-color glitter in a clear base that looks 
fabulous on its own, or layered over a polish of your choice. I usually wear it on a bare nail, but for New Year’s Eve I plan on layering it over gold polish to up the sparkle factor. You can never have too much bling, am I right?
Are you planning on rocking the sparkly nail this New Year’s Eve? Any fellow funfetti frosting devotees out there?

Did you know that you can layer Gelish gel polish? Yes, you heard that correctly! We polish lovers love to layer colors, so I was very excited to hear that Gelish can be layered!
All you need to do is pick a dark color and a light color. Follow the directions as you normally would. For the first layer of gel polish, apply the dark color. The second layer of gel polish will be the light color. Voila! You have a beautiful finish and a fun, new color!
Gelish even has a collection that is especially for layering in stores right now through October! The Aurora Collection has 6 colors just for this purpose!
Try it out and let me know what colors you used!

A base coat is the beginning step of polishing your nails. When I was young I never used a base coat because I didn’t understand why I needed to. Of course, my nails were always stained from the polish and the polish wouldn’t last at all. You live and you learn.
So, always start with the base coat. The natural oils in your nails keep the polish from sticking for more than a day or two. Base coats create a barrier that helps protect your nails from staining and it helps adhere the polish to your nail, which keeps the polish on longer.
There are many base coats out there. Ridge fillers, strengthening base coats, moisturizing base coats – you name it, it probably exists. With all these options, you’re sure to find the best one for you and your needs.
If you need help figuring out which one is best for you, leave a comment and we’ll pick out one together.
Happy polishing!

I just returned from a beautiful weekend in San Diego at the BlogHer conference. I met some truly amazing women bloggers and had the best time socializing and learning.
After finding out that I was with Sally Beauty, the first question out of everyone’s mouth was, “What’s your favorite product?” So, I decided I should do a round-up of my Top Five Favorite Sally Beauty Products.
In no particular order:
1. Ion Color Brilliance Permanent Creme Hair Color in 3G – My hair has been a lot of colors over the years, but this has to be my favorite shade. It’s shiny, has just a hint of red for warmth and makes my hair feel and look super healthy.
2. Seche Vite Fast Dry Top Coat - I refuse to paint my nails without this. It gives my polish a glass-like finish, dries in a snap and keeps them from chipping. I apply it every couple of days to keep my manicure looking fresh.
3. China Glaze Refresh-Mint – You know how newly engaged women constantly hold out their hand to admire their ring? That’s what I do when I wear this polish.
4. Miracle 7 Leave-in Conditioner - Now here’s a product that actually lives up to the hype. It’s ahhmazing. I love it because I have fine hair that gets weighed down easily, but needs a lot of conditioning, and Miracle 7 takes care of it.
5. Palladio Liquid Eye Liner in Black Forest - I always made a mess with liquid liner until I tried Palladio. The brush is super easy to work with and lets me draw perfect lines. Black Forest is a great color because it’s dark without being as harsh as black.
What beauty products can you not live without? Please share in the comments!
