Nail Trend Alerts: Be a Daring, Diamond Diva

It’s sparkling, it’s dazzling, and it’s the hot new trend…say hello to glitter ombre !

Illuminate yourself with this gradient idea that uses glitter heavily at the tip of the nails and gradually lightens toward the base of your nails around the cuticle.

Like our model shown, you can use the same color of glitter on every nail for a unique yet uniformed look. Take it up another notch by using multiple shades of one color (going from lighter to darker) on each finger. Before you opt for another one of those single shade manicures, consider this daring-yet-glam alternative.

We promise, your fingers will thank you!

Three Fabulous Ways to Sparkle and Shine This Winter!

Bored with your same old routine for holiday get-togethers? Always questioning what look is appropriate for each occasion? No matter what you have going on; find the answers with these easy and fun hair and makeup ideas!

Lovely Classic

Large, soft curls are perfect for any occasion, whether it be an evening party or family dinner. Use a round brush when drying, or a large barrel curling iron for the ultimate luxurious curl. Follow with a spritz or two of hairspray (our pick: Aveda’s Control Force) to maintain this “I’m beautiful without even trying” look for hours.

Simple makeup is key; add a swipe of mascara, a touch of pink lip stain, rosy blush on the apples of your cheeks (Aveda’s Petal Essence Face Accent), and you’re ready to go!

 

 

Demur Glamour

Lose the shampoo for a day and use that unkempt hair to your advantage! For any dressy events, go with defined yet tousled waves. Use a dry shampoo (our pick: Bumble&Bumble’s Hair Powder) on your roots to remove excessive oils. Flip your head upside down and massage the scalp around your crown and part to create natural volume.

Keep your skin glowing with tinted moisturizer and your eyes defined with mascara. Use a dark, matte color on your lips (Aveda’s  Hot Pepper Smoothing Lip Color) for a glamorous “wow” factor that will have heads turning all night.

 

 

Naturally Sleek

A sleek ponytail comes to your rescue for any time-limited preparation. First decide on your part (middle, side, or simply where your hair chooses to fall), and use a gel or spray to tame those irritating fly-aways (Bumble&Bumble’s Shine Finishing Spray). The higher the pony, the more casual the look will be.

Quick Tip: think “sunrise” (a high ponytail) for day and “sunset” (closer to the nape of the neck) for evening.
