Is Nail Polish the Happiest Beauty Product?

2012-01-29T14:07:57Z

I love this story story, from the Cincinnati Enquirer. At the St. Joseph Home in Cincinnati, a residential facility for non-ambulatory and non-verbal adults and children, a wish list request from its female residents is nail polish. So volunteers from a local high school girls' soccer team visited the home and painted the nails and toes of some very deserving residents. As St. Joseph's development director Renee Russell explained in the paper, "The girls and women at the home don't have much mobility, so looking at their bright-colored fingernails brings them happiness."

Painting and discussing our nails is all in a day's work around these parts. And while I may not notice when someone is testing out a new mascara, foundation, or bronzer, I always notice when she has fly nails. Stopping to discuss the whys and wherefores of the color or design with a coworker or friend just instantly makes me happier. And if I'm having a bad day, a glittery manicure can significantly boost my spirits.

Maybe that's why nail polish is having a huge moment in cosmetics? According toWWD, from January to October last year, nail sales were up a staggering 59 percent. If people are buying it at the rate they're apparently buying it, then I have to believe I'm not alone in believing in polish's mood-lifting powers. It's affordable, it's colorful, and, most important, it's fun. (Allure Magazine - By Anne-Marie Guarneri, Senior Editor / Photo: Getty Images)

A Weird New Way to Fight Pain

2011-11-09T08:52:07Z

Whether it's during a wax, a flu shot, or something more severe...we could all use a handy method to alleviate pain. A new study may have found one. In this month's Psychological Science, UCLA researchers report on their research: women could withstand more physical pain when looking at pictures of their significant others. Researchers concluded that seeing the snaps brought on feelings of love and support, even when the loved one wasn't present.

Are you happy with the shape of your brows?

2011-10-30T09:26:16Z

Eyebrows are inarguably one of the most important features on your face. It defines your eyes, the shape of your face and expresses your personality. Well-shaped brows always enhance your look, your personality and your confidence.

The shape of the eyebrows should be well-defined and compliment your facial structure. Taking time to groom brows will mark a difference in appearance. Now, tell me what shape are your eyebrows and are you happy with them?

To Bare or Not To Bare?

2011-10-23T10:37:03Z

When it comes to Brazilian bikini waxes, the debate can get hairy. (Sorry!)

Adding to the conversation, a sex advice columnist for The Times of London has sparked outrage for telling a letter writer that she's not with it if she's not without it—downunder hair, that is. Meanwhile, Elizabeth Wurtzel, the author of Bitch and Prozac Nation, argues in nerve.com's Bare vs. Hair Debate that "we women don't feel entirely female unless we're slaves to beauty."

Huge sisterhood fails, ladies. No woman wants to feel like a slave to grooming; and implying that beauty isn't about choice, is missing all the fun is has to offer. (Lipstick Queen in Saint Rouge is not my master, but my elected official. And when I'm not wearing it, I still have two X chromosomes.)

Allure has had its share of bikini waxes—both standard and Brazilian. They're great for keeping your full downstairs under wraps at the beach, and yeah, they do look and feel a little tidier. And considering the fact that people have been using delipitories on body hair since at least 4,000 BC, the Brazilian isn't so outlandish. That said, it also isn't a must—especially, when you have the option to dye your downunder hair blue.

So what do you think? Do you take frequent "trips to Brazil"? Do you prefer au natural?

Many people are now reverting back to Natural Nails, but just cannot manage to grow their own nails and keep them looking good. How many times have you been to have your nails done, and within an hour you have damaged them as they are not fully dry or after a few days they are chipped and looking ragged?

Unlike other nail finishes, Bio Sculpture Gel is a nail treatment applied as a coating onto your own natural nails to strengthen and condition them. You will enjoy seeing their nails transformed in no time, with no fumes, no odours and minimal buffing. The Gel is available in over 100 different colours and dries instantly under a UVA Curing Lamp – no waiting around and you can walk out of the salon with zero drying time. Your nails will be long wearing and chip proof and will keep their well manicured look long after application. Matching colour varnishes allow flexibility of Permanent Colour Gels – simply apply one of our 100 different coloured varnishes over the Colour Gel. This can be removed easily with our specially formulated “Non Acetone Cleanser” and you are back to your Permanent Colour Gel. The Gel Soaks Off with no damage to the natural nails. Your nails will last three to four weeks, after which time the new growth with show and you will need an infill or you can soak off and have a fresh set of gels applied.
