OPI MATTE NAIL ENVY

"Not everything should be shared between a man and a woman, except Matte Nail Envy(TM) Natural Nail Hardener. This effective nail strengthener is designed for well-groomedmen and women who prefer a natural, virtually invisible strengthening treatment for their nails.
WHAT KRISTINA SAYS ABOUT MATTE NAIL ENVY:
When I worked in a salon, I heard from countless satisfied customersthat NAIL ENVY (Matter or regular finish) works miracles, especiallyon nails that have been damaged from acylics. Follow the directions closely and you'll have gorgeous nails in no time. This is definitely the product I recommend most for thin, brittle or damaged nails. It is a bit pricey, but with OPI's awesome 100% guarantee, you never need to worry about the investment.

Check out
Sinful's rich colors that are perfect for fall. Deep, sultry colors are gorgeous this season. Flirty and fun, but definitely ready for the coming weather. And Bath and Body Works has many glittery polishes, including a few Halloween colors such as "Goblin" (dark silvery grey) and even a black polish with orange glitter. Keep an eye on that store, their colors will become more seasonal as time goes on, so you'll always have something funky for the holidays!

NAIL DECALS AND DESIGNS
Want a garden on your nails? You don't have to go to a nail salon anymore to get those cool decals put on. Kiss offers styles in anything from rhinestones, gold plates and foil strips to stickers and water decals (you soak them in water before applying). The water decals include things such as flowers (my personal favorite), oriental designs, faces, French manicures, and simple lacey line patterns. Also check out Wet n' Wild's Halloween decals.... ghosts, bats, spiders, etc. They're cute and pretty inexpensive (around $1.99). Fing'rs brand also offers many designs too. Buy single sets (around $3), or purchase a collection (around $9) to create more extravagant designs.

STILL LOOKING FOR WACKY NEW IDEAS????

  • My personal favorite for this season is black polish with a bright colored glitter on top. It looks great on short nails too!
  • Like I suggested above, try out seasonal decals, like Wet 'n' Wild's Halloween collection.
  • Bring a rainbow home with you. Wear a different polish color on each nail. I get loads of compliments whenever I do this.
