Mani of the Week: Samoa Diva

My Dearest Beauties,

An oxblood with a golden shimmer that shows under natural light! This kind of color is just perfect for the cooler season. It is a classic! I would personally wear it year round whenever I can't make up my mind. Diva, other than being a beautiful color, also is a very long lasting color. My nail polish never goes longer than four days, well, diva actually lasted for six whole days. I do not know what it is about this particular shade that prevents easy chipping but I am loving it! This little and accessible find will definitely become a staple.

One other thing before I let you be the judge, I wanted to remind you that these nail polishes are inexpensive but have the quality of a high end one. They are highly pigmented and really easy to paint on the nails.

What are your thoughts? Tell me in the comments?

Much love,

Welcoming Fall with a Manicure

My Dearest Beauties,

Inspired by one of my favorite J. Crew sweaters.

The dark shade is # 280 and for the light shade I used Fluo Magenta both from Dali of course.

What do you think of this classic nail color with a tiny twist?

Much love,

My Take on Ombre Manicure using Dali Nail Polishes

My Dearest Beauties,

I think you may have noticed that I have a slight obsession over blue nail polish. To top that, ombre nails have been catching my eye all this season. I gave it a try and thought I would show you what I came out with.

I used all Dali Le Maquillage nail polishes. They have an amazing selection of nail polish colors, that have really good formulation and dry really quickly.

I used the shades: 286, 260, FBb. (from darkest to lightest)

I personally loved the darkest shade. It is the perfect shade for us ladies that love the almost black shades. The light shade of blue is a really nice warm based powder blue.

These nail polishes are not only pretty but they also help the Children's Cancer Center in Lebanon. So, don't feel bad if you want a bunch of them because 5% of the proceeds will be going straight out to help the fighting children.

What do you think on my take on ombre nails?

Much  love,

Samar
  

Manicure of the Week: Bourjois So Laque Glossy in 06 Adora Bleu

My Dearest Beauties,

Baby blue on your nails! Why not?!?! I personally think it is romantic and unique. The other day while doing my nail polish hunt down. I stumbled upon Bourjois's new line of nail polishes. Let me tell you, these creamy shades are just be-a-utiful. But, of course I picked up the powder baby blue shade to try out because it is what I was originally hunting for.

After painting my nails myself, I realized how high of a quality the varnish is. It is pigmented, it dries super fast and it is really glossy. You can easily get away with a single coat, I applied two coats, though, because I feel like that adds a bit of strength to my nails. I am definitely going to pick up some more of these and tell you what I think of them.

I am wearing Bourjois So Laque Glossy in 06 Adora Bleu.

This nail polish definitely feels really luxurious, I say it is very good value for your money. Anyways, what are your thoughts on this color? Tell me on the comments below!

Much Love,

Samar

Manicure of the Week: Sally Hansen Insta-Dri in Lightening 10

My Dearest Beauties,

I have been hunting down a bright and perfect yellow for all of spring and summer till three days ago when I found this amazing yellow shade at the Sally Hansen counter. It is very well pigmented and it is the right tinge of creamy and bright. Personally, I think this color looks extremely vibrant contrasted with summery, tanned skin.

I used Sally Hansen Insta-Dri in shade Lightening 10.

Do you like funky and bright shades? What is your favorite?

Much love,

Manicure of the Week: Black is Always In

My Dearest Beauties,

Black is a nail color that some people are scared of trying. But it is some others' staple. I love to wear it all year long, I feel like it adds edge to your looks. It also looks very classy when applied on very short nails.

We used Peggy Sage in the shade "Nuit" number 106. It goes on gorgeously and unlike many blacks it is extremely opaque and super dark. Some blacks end up looking like a really dark grey but not a true black even after a couple of coats.

The accent nail was a simple sprinkle of large sized gold glitter.

If you are interested in my beautician her name is Remi, contact me to get her number.
