LIKE LISA FRANK STICKERS, BUT BETTER.

Do it yourself manicure?! Try nail patches by Chic Print for Nails, an adhesive heat activated film kit to transform your fingernails into artwork. This spin off of celebrity favorite brand Minx, spares you a trip to the nail salon and is D-I-Y! 


This is such a fun trend to try for a couple of days, and especially on the weekend. You wouldn't want to show up at work with metallic tiger print nails, would you? That is unless you have the dream job working at a trendi company.


Go to Sephora.com for select designs including animal prints, checkerboard, and stripes. A pack of 16, $15.

UPDATE YOUR FLORALS.

Beautiful summer days and nights call for pretty little things.


Florals have been so major... and we still love them! 


Be creative with this trend. Unless you're in West Palm Beach, there's no need to be matchy matchy with a single print or color scheme . Try mix and matching flowery prints with stripes to create a funky look. Or wear cropped tops to make a cute outfit look sexy. You can make your prettiest dress look bad with chunky bangles, or even tone it down with a pair of high top sneakers. We also love pearls over a loose t-shirt with denim shorts (it's a good idea to have a cheap faux set).

DOUBLE WHAMMY TODAY! Trendiest Summer Nail Polish Colors:

How was your Memorial day weekend? There were plenty of bright colored finger nails celebrating in Vegas, the Hampton's, and Miami. Every color of the rainbow including bright yellow, hot pink, kelly green, and electric blue are perfect colors for summer.

Remember to pair your mani and pedi colors wisely. If you're doing a daring color on your hands, try going modest on your feet with a neutral. You can also stay in the same color family (pinks with pink shades, purples with purple shades), or stay matching with one fab color! Choose a fun color during your next manicure visit... you can always do a traditional red or neutral yourself at home.

Essie's Summer Collection:

OPI Bright's Collection:

Top: Blue My Mind, Charged Up Cherry, Need Sunglasses?,

Bottom: Lilac It, Mod-ern Girl, and Dating A Royal

These are only some of the fabulous colors in this collection, go to OPI.com to see the rest.

If you haven't realized... we're true Essie and OPI addicts, but of course there are other brands with trendi summer colors. Let us know what shades you're into and what you're wearing!

We want to express our gratitude to our fans and followers with 2 entries today due to our absence these past few weeks. Thanks again everyone! We hope you're having a fabulous Wednesday.

Xo Stay trendi.

Iridescent Maddness.

Growing up we could wear sparkley nail polish, sequin headbands, and just anything that shimmered and shined. As we get older, it's not exactly appropriate nor tasteful, unless you're in Miami or it's Mardi Gras. However this trend has been lurking around lately, and we've become increasingly curious as to how to accept some of this iridescent glam.

Headband $28 freepeople.com, Iridescent Pocket Tank $19.80 forever21.com, Harajuka Studs $26 karmaloop.com, DuWop Moon Venom $17 sephora.com, Deux Lux Bucket Bag $94 shopnastygal.com, Toywatch $250 nordstroms.com, Essie - Main Squeze $5.59 justbeautydeals.com, House of Harlow Necklace $179 shopthetrendboutique.com, Dr. Martens $120 drmartens.com, Snake Necklace $82 shopcurious.com, Carlos Falchi Tote $220 shopkitson.com, American Apparel Dolman Sleeve Hoodie $29 americanapparel.net

ABOUT THE BEAUTY PRODUCTS:

DuWop Moon Venom is lip pluming gloss with an iridescent shine. Your lips will enlarge to a luscious opalescent pout, especially great for nighttime.

Essie Main Squeeze is from the new 2010 Wedding Collection. Get a few coats of it alone, or top it onto a neutral for an extra perk of trendi lavender and iridescence.

On the couture end, iridescent pieces stand out and are extremely playful. Celebrities Kim Kardashian and Whitney Port have already stepped into this trend. (For the record, we are on team Whitney... sorry Olivia).

We also found some designer shoes and accessories to share with you: Jimmy Choo flats, Alexander McQueen wrap bracelet, Guiseppe Zanotti pumps.

Get the idea? We're not too old.

Nicole Richie keeps the rest of her makeup in nude tones, and then throws in the dramatic cat eye effect.

Angelina Jolie keeps her makeup very neutral, with some gloss, and a dramatic upper and lower liner.

Ashlee Simpson has fair skin which gives her the ability to pull off red lips and longer dramatic cat eyeliner.

The Jersey Shore Says TANS ARE IN!

It's time to get tan! But be smart and create the illusion of a vacation tan without the harms of the sun. Let us introduce you to Fake Bake, the expert in sunless tanning products. This smart and safe trend will help you achieve a sexy brown tan. This formula has been a favorite of celebrities in all forms including lotion, gel, or a light mousse. Depending on your experience with sunless tanning or how experimental you are, you can choose from this variety of specialized applicators which provide different strengths of color application. For instance, the mousse gives light color, which is especially good for people with fair skin. On the other hand, the gel gives an immediate dark color for people with darker skin, or who desire an immediate "fake bake". The lotion is the most popular, which also is the most common form for tanning products to be found.

Reasons why we especially like Fake Bake products:

• Longer lasting tan
• Not smelly
• Tinted application
• Brown color, NO orange
• Quick results
• Variety of application types (gel, mouse, spray)

Apply Fake Bake before bed and wake up several shades darker without peeling, redness, or burn! It is recommended to wear the product overnight so that it can be absorbed, and give you the darkest color per application. Seriously, why not tan in your sleep? We told you those geniuses at Fake Bake were experts!

Check out all Fake Bake Sunless Tanning products, as well as their complement products such as the Passion Fruit Body Polish and Brozner compact.

The Face by Fake Bake Platinum - $25.99

As we age (beginning as early in our 20s) the number of skin stem cells is lost, coupled with a decreasing ability to maintain and repair the skin. The Face by Fake Bake Platinum contains the latest anti-aging ingredient - *PhytoCellTecTM Malus Domestica. More specifically, it contains an apple stem cell ingredient that aids in the preserving and repairing of the skin. Plant cells can regenerate, allowing to gradually delay the biological cell aging process. Your face will appear significantly darker, more youthful, and hydrated!

Fake Bake Self-tanning Lotion - $24.95

For a head to toe dark, try the smooth Self-Tanning Lotion. The dark brown color makes it super easy to see where you apply, and without tacky shimmer or glitter! Most importantly, this product stands out from others because it is packed with moisturizers and Vitamin D.

Fake Bake Sunless & Skinny - $21.99

Do you remember when you found your first dimple? This traumatizing moment has left many of us helpless and dieting, however now we have a fix! The first best answer is exercise, however this may not be the only remedy. Thank goodies for this formula with active copper mineral and seaweed, which together help firm, tone, and remove toxins in fatty deposits. You begin with your immediate darker tan, followed by smoother and firmed skin in a few weeks.

Some other great Fake Bake Products to look out for:

Passion Fruit Body Polish - $1

Bronzy Babe Face & Body Compact - $17.95

Fake Bake products can be purchased from Fake Bake online store. Take advantage of their limited time promotions!

Have you ever read the ingredients on the beauty products you use? Chemicals, parabens, synthetic preservatives, pesticides and genetically modified additives are only some of the many ingredients found in some of our favorite products. So before you go ahead telling yourself that you would die without your favorite foundation, because it's the only one that does not make you oily, is your exact skin color, blah blah blah... Consider the alternatives of NATURAL BEAUTY!

Tarte is one of our favorite cosmetic brands, their line of products work to make us feel and look even prettier than we already are! This rockstar company has a line of natural products (some are even vegan) that come in recyclable and reusable packaging. We love Tarte for being an eco-friendly company and a member of the Natural Products Association.

Natural Lip Stain with LipSurgence: There has been a 10 year wait for this product, but it's finally here! Tarte's award winning cheek stain (that can also be used on lips) now has a special companion with some extra flavor. Not only does it taste better, it contains LipSurgence which is clinically proven to increase moisture to your lips by 6000%. Available at Sephora.

Mineral Powder Bronzer: FAVORITE ALERT. Trade those UV rays for some light weight mineral based bronzer that contains vitamins A,C, and E. Available in two darling shades Hotel Heiress and Park Ave Princess .

Celebutante: For head to toe glow, try this dry oil for a bronze shimmer. It's great for all skin tones, even you Snow White beauties! You can also reuse the bottle as a cute vase for some daisies.

You can buy Tarte cosmetics from their online store or many other stores including Sephora! Tarte makes it super easy to go natural with their variety of amazing products.

Karma Organic carries a line of 100% Organic and Non-Toxic Nail Products. A soy based and biodegradable nail polish remover is one of their hottest products. Allure Magazine Editor's Choice Beauty Awards selected Karma Organic's Tea Tree Oil Scented Remover as the winner of the Best Beauty Product of 2009. Our favorite is the Lavender, which releases a calming scent as you use it to gently remove your nail polish. $12.99

To complement their removers, they also carry a line of non-toxic and chemical-free (no Toluene, Formaldehyde, or DBP) nail polishes. Glow in the dark colors for our ravers and ragers, reds, and pastels are some of the over 100 colors to choose from. $9.99

Purchase these must have products from Henri Bendel or at the Karma Organic online store.

Keep it old school with Evian Mineral Water Spray. To keep your skin looking fabulous, mist yourself throughout the day for a light cooling refreshment. This will become your best friend and you will re-mist more often than you check your BBMs. If you wear makeup all day long, don't keep caking it on! Use this spray to freshen up and moisturize naturally. Purchase a pack of 2 travel size bottles for $12 at Sephora.


Natural beauty is a growing trend, with many brands catching on to reformulate their products without synthetics and chemicals. Be sure that you do some research because the term "natural" is not completely regulated. Our kingdom, Sephora, has made it easy with us with a section of natural and organic products that are formulated with a minimum of 90% natural ingredients. So helpful!
