MiniLuxe

When MiniLuxe contacted us to spread the word about their new line of nailpolishes, we jumped at the opportunity. They have just released a new line of 18 Boston-inspired colors,  which are free of toxic chemicals. We found that they apply smoothly and streak free, and have yet to chip after 3 days! But our favorite part about these polishes are the names that match the vibrant colors:

Boston Pops

ArrowSmith

Out On “The Town”

Back Bay

Boston Ballet

The Green Line

Camelot

Cape Cod Sunset

Harvard Crimson

Love That Dirty Water

Beantown

Pahk The Cah

Fenway Spark

The Vineyard

Big Poppy

The Big Dig

Numbah 12

Cheers

We tried Boston Ballet, Camelot, Cape Cod Sunset, and The Vineyard. It's hard to choose a favorite...

The polishes are available for purchase at MiniLuxe locations, and the colors are also available for manis & pedis.

Nailed It

Sometimes, I just can't decide whether to go with a shiny nail or a matte nail. 

So last night I thought, why can't I do both? 

After painting my full nail with a shiny red polish and armed with a quick drying top-coat, I placed a piece of tape down the center of each nail. I then applied Essie's, "matte about you" over the exposed half of the nail and pulled the tape off. Voilà! A classic nail with a modern matte twist.

They went fabulously with my striped mittens.

Essie's "a list" is a beautiful classic red.
