It's been ages since I posted my monthly nail polish idea. What can I say, that never-ending winter left me a little uninspired in the mani-pedi department. But my cravings for the perfect of-the-moment nail polish color have returned, and I'm bringing this monthly post back, starting with a set of special guest feet belonging to one Ms. Beth Shapouri. As you can see, she is modeling what might be the prettiest bright-pink, summery pedicure color in the history of womankind.

Perhaps you'd like to know the name of this delightful hue? It's Givenchy Vibrant Fuchsia, a new color for Spring 2013. Go on out and get some for your pre-weekend pedi, you deserve it!

How do you like those pretty toes? Would you get a pedi in this hue, or is there another color you're into this month? Let's talk fave May 2013 nail polishes below!

So dark it’s almost black. Unfortunately, this has a manic case of that skipping problem that most of these liners had. I was only able to get a solid line - faint, but solid -  after keeping the pencil in my pocket for ten minutes, trying to soften the wax…

Maybelline Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner Review

I find that good gel eyeliners are really hard to come by. It’s just one of the more finicky cosmetics, and in my experience the formulas are usually pretty hit or miss. So, I was pleasant surprised when I used a solid drugstore gel liner, Maybelline Eye Studio Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner ($9.99, amazon.com). I can’t say that it’s the very best gel eyeliner I’ve ever used, but it’s pretty darn good, and definitely less pricey than the best I’ve ever used. I used the brush that came in the pack for this, which is a rounded eyeliner brush; but I […]

"This collection is very pretty, I'm not a big fan of metallic polishes normally but wow! My surprise favorites are Amy and Kerry! Kerry is so gorgeous in person, it's like having molten gold on your finger nails! I love the little flakies and shimmer in them it really makes them stand out for me next to plain foil polishes." - Samariums Swatches

"Overall, I am 100% pleased with this collection. It is on point! I absolutely love the easy formulas and nice range of colors. Even when all the colors have the same finish, Zoya manages to give us diversity within the collection. I've seen many swatches of these polishes and it seems to be so flattering to all skin tones! Trust me, you guys are going to want these colors. My favorites are Amy, Hazel, and Tinsley." - Haute Lacquer
 
 



"I let out an audible squeal when I opened the box containing one of ZOYA’s latest collections—Irresistible. This collection of summery nail lacquers has everything that’s right in the world when it comes to polish; a great formula with the perfect flow, lots of twinkle, perfect coverage in two coats, and gorgeous seasonal shades that are spot on-trend. ZOYA has done this consistently for years (thank you, ZOYA!), and I never feel like things get too repetitive like a few of my other favorite brands." - Beauty Junkies Unite

Manicures are a weakness of mine, but I just don't have time for regular appointments each time I want to change my color or style. Actually, I only have a manicure occasionally since I was taught by the professional manicurists on set how to do my own manicures at home that look just as good as professional. It's actually extremely cheap.

I had a falling out with one of my close friends this week. I felt really bad about it. Still do, actually. Sometimes, though, when these types of things happen, you start to see your part in them. You often don’t realize the things you do incorrectly while you’re still involved with someone. Yet afterwards, sometimes all of the mistakes you’ve made come rushing back: Words hastily spoken, decisions secondarily made. You start to realize how you could have been better. So here’s 5 of the most important things I’ve learned about having – and maintaining – solid relationships. I’d […]

Have you all fully recovered from the season finale of Scandal? Are you missing it already? Maybe a little DIY hairstyle inspired by Scandal star Kerry Washington will help.

Here's the updo that I fell in love with, seen here on the gorgeous Kerry.

And here's an easy how-to for my take on the look.

1. Start by pulling your hair back into a ponytail.

theodore-leaf-hairstyle-1

2. Divide into three sections, just as you would for a standard braid.

theodore-leaf-hairstyle-2

3. Now twist your hand downward and start to braid.

4. Take the right side to the center.

5. Now take the left side under.

6. Repeat this motion to create a rope braid. Finish the braid with a small elastic.

7. Now for the fun part; Take a small piece of hair the size of a thread and pull the braid up to the base.

8. Secure your hair with bobby pins.

Pull the top to add some soft volume--it'll keep the look easy and not too fussy.
