My Tips For Choosing The Right Shade For Your Skin Tone

Choosing the ideal nail polish color for your skin tone involves understanding your undertones. If you have cool undertones, opt for polishes with blue or purple bases. Warmer skin tones look great with nude and white shades that have peach or yellow undertones. Lucky you if you have neutral undertones! Most colors will work well with your skin. The key is to either contrast or complement your natural coloring. Don’t hesitate to try different shades until you discover the one that makes you feel amazing.

My Top Tips To Make Your Manicure Last Longer

Extend your manicure’s life with proper preparation and maintenance. Begin with thoroughly clean and dry nails before applying any polish. Always use a quality base coat; it enhances polish adhesion. Apply thin, even color layers, ensuring each layer dries fully. A top coat is essential. It adds shine, seals the color, and prevents chips. Reapply a thin top coat layer during the week to maintain its fresh look.

Limit soaking your nails in water to prevent polish lifting and peeling. Protect your nails with gloves when handling harsh chemicals or detergents during chores. Remember, nails are jewels, not tools – handle them with care. Daily cuticle oil application keeps nails strong and skin supple, preventing hangnails and maintaining manicure health. Follow these tips for longer-lasting, salon-fresh nails!

You know you're going to give your kid a complex if you call them "The Mean Bean" instead of; sweetiepie, sugar face, bear, etc. My nickname stuck- even when I got nicer. AND my affinity for all things BEAN happens to be tremendous; Coffee beans (my coffee feign), Cocoa beans, Vanilla beans, chickpeas (yes, it's a bean), black beans....and so on. As for the "mean" part, depends on which ex-boyfriend you ask. I think I'm super sugary. And no, I will not be writing any guides about beans. Unless I get a special request.
