By Sheila Arkee Last year was a remarkable year in my life for the simple reason that I finally got my nail care under control.

By Sheila Arkee As we are nearing the end of 2013, I have to make mention of my biggest beauty accomplishment: this is the year I finally got my act together with my hands and nails! After a life of peeling nails, horrible hangnails, and never being able to pull off a decent nail polish [...] [...] By Sheila Arkee Although I’ve known of 100% pure Acetone being used as a nail polish remover for a while, it wasn’t until I tried the Couture Gel Nails kit that I actually purchased a bottle for my own use. Priced at around $6, it’s one of the best nail care purchases I’ve ever made.

I may be a little extra-terrestrial at times but I don’t this is one of those moments. Read on and let me know. Lately, I’m on this kick about the cleanliness of spas.

I saw these stick-on wraps the other day and thought, what better time to try them? At about $6 why not? As I lay in my pregnant [...] [...] By Sheila Arkee Although I am possibly the last person on the face of the Earth who has never seen an episode of Glee, I am most certainly a huge fan of Sephora and OPI nail polish. If you’re a fan of all three, you’re in luck, because coming this February 3rd to Sephora, OPI will [...] [...] By Sheila As a busy mom, my nails are mostly a scraggly mess. Chipped polish here, hangnails there … it’s not as pretty sight! So, what’s a busy person with too much to deal with going to to do when they want to look polished to perfection? That’s where Minx would come in. Minx are nail stickers made from [...] [...] |
