Nail Look Of The Week...

My nail look for this week is completed!!!  First, before we get into this amazing color I chose, let's discuss my Starting 5...

So, I just started using a new nail thickner,  Sally Hansen's Miracle Nail Thickner, I previously used Orly's Calcium Sheild which I love and recommend, it's just I got mine from TJMaxx for $3.99 and its $10 on website but you can order from Amazon for cheaper price but then there's shipping and waiting.  I finally said I will try something else for the time being and got the Sally Hansen product.  I will review in about a month!!!

Also, added back into my mix is the Sally Hansen Maximum Growth.  In the previous post o shared how this and the Hard as Nails Hard as Wraps together gave me amazing results.

After every manicure I use the Deja Vu cuticle oil, previously I was using Orly's Cuticle Care Complex which is also a fave and recommended.  I will start using that again eventually, I just have one I'm waiting to try.  The Deja Vu Cuticle Oil is good it's just extremely oily so you have to let it soak in before polishing for about 5 minutes.

Lastly, my NYC In New York Minute Quick Dry Top Coat...best top coat hands down.  Now the color, Sephora by OPI Is It Pay Day Yet??? ... how perfect for Spring and Summer is this color???  I applied 2 coats, it looks like it will glow in the dark lol...well that's all folks!!!  Until next time...

Let's get NAILed!!!

Today is the first post of many on Nails and Nail Care.  For over a year now I've been doing weekly manicures and naillooks and posting pictures on my Instagram (iamastylisttiadanielle), I am just as passionate about my nails and nail care as I am about Fashion so I've decided to incorporate the two! 

I was once like most and addicted to going to get my nails done and having acrylic on my nails, and then it became costly and there is just something so unattractive to me when you have that look of needing a fill in and can't do anything about it.  At this point the acrylics had to come off, but my nails were dependant on the acrylic so without it they became so weak.  

At this point this is when I had to take it upon myself to retrain my nails and get them strong and healthy, and long because I'm not a huge fan of short nails, longer nails elongate my fingers and I like that.  So, I started using two products that I still use today and they are both from Sally Hansen,  the Maximum Growth and the Hard as Nails Hard as Wraps.  I used the two together weekly and experienced significant change in my nails. 

Ok, present day...I've gone from short to long, from long to longer, back to short and now they are starting to grow long again.  The picture below is from a two week time span, the top was taken two weeks ago and the bottom is this week.  I'm now off to do my manicure and new naillook which I will post once I'm done.....

A Look Inspired 2...

Hey ladies!!!  So continuing on my mission to show you everything you need to put a look together you probably already own.  This Look Inspired was bought to you by Selena Gomez, I've been watching her and her style is amazing, I need to find out who her stylist is!  What made me pull this look was because it's styled just how I like...effortless and chic.  Now, I did not have a black blazer that is waist length so I had to improvise with my Pea Green blazer from Loehmann's, that's the thing you must remember when putting together a Look Inspired, it does not have to be exact, as long as we can see the inspiration that's all that matters!   There are more details on each item on The Fashion Trap on Facebook, check it out...
