I’ve never really been a fan of the look of magentic nail polishes, but when I saw that Essie made one that looked like snakeskin, I had to try it. To be completely honest, I found the results a bit disappointing, which was surprising because I am such a huge fan of Essie products.

For example, the magnetic effect only worked on a small part of the nail (the middle), and the polish dried so quickly that some of my nails didn’t work at all. I tried doing half of a nail at a time, but that just resulted in a weird design rather than the snake print.
Before my final try at achieving the snake design, I scoured the internet for tips, but there was surprisingly little help online. So, I set out to figure out the best way to apply the polish/magnet to get the desired effect.

I ended up painting my nails three different times with two separate colors. By the third try, I picked up a few tips and tricks, so hopefully you’ll find these helpful if you want to try out the snake effect polish.

Nail art Disadvantages

Some nail art polish can take a long drying time.
Your nail polish may contain too many chemicals and those bright colors may have a bad effect on the nails.
It’s not easy to keep the nail polish from getting on your cuticles.
Polishing your nails perfectly with a complicated nail art pattern may get some time. Not every woman has the patience to wait calm and without rushing until her manicure is done. Spending hours with nail art isn’t an option for most of the women because it’s difficult to fit their busy schedule.
The fact that everyone else seems to wear nail art is a double edged sword. On one side, if you choose to wear nail art you’ll keep with the trend, on the other side your nail art might get lost in a pool of pretty similar patterns. Try to be as creative as possible when you choose your nail art.
Nail art is hard to perfect and if you have perfectionist tendency it might disappoint you. The slightest crack or smudge can ruin your manicure.
When you get into nail art, nail care becomes even more important. Because your nails are the canvas for your pieces of art you need to spend more time and pay more attention to your nail care.

I think the Ell18 is the best one which my daughter purchased recently. Earlier she was using Revlon. She is having almost all colors of Revlon brand.After seeing an Ad of a Bollywood Actress on the T.V she switched to the new brand. She purchased one in dark Tomato color and the other one is perfect dark red. Both are looking very nice and appealing.

Sounds as if the lipstick was a hit. Sound pretty happy with the product and that’s what companies love. They want to know if customers are happy with their products. Lipstick and lip gloss is the only thing that I’ll wear. No other makeup.

I got these Ellen Tracy “thick sticks” lip crayons from my mom. The whole set was $5.99 from Ross. I was not expecting much but was utterly surprised about the payoff and staying power these are amazing!!! I love a pencil since they are so easy to control but it has the color payoff and staying power of a lipstick and stain!

Here are some of the most important benefits of lipstick:

Beauty – No matter what style of lip color you prefer (sharp, bold and dramatic colors, or more natural and subdued shades that can be translucent), you will instantly feel more beautiful. If your goal is to stand out in the crowd, be more beautiful, or you simply need a boost in your confidence, lipstick is a perfect fashion tool for you.

Hydration – Even though some older brands of lipsticks use ingredients that can suck moisture from you lips, most of them are very conscientious about hydration and are made to preserve the natural state of your lips. New brands of lipstick can often contain some form of moisturizing additive, such as vitamin E or aloe vera.

Sunscreen – Even in early 20th century, chemist and fashion designers came to conclusion that sunscreen protection is important and that most people leave their sensitive lips up to the mercy of the sun even if they are conscious about protecting the rest of the face. Lipstick manufacturers then added sun protection ingredients to their products, enabling you to protect your lips from sun, drying, wind, and other harmful and aging effects.

Posture – Several studies have shown that women who regularly use lipstick have a better posture in the later years of their life. With long and steady tradition of standing in front of the mirror and keeping your posture and body shape in healthy conditions, women in the ages of 65 to 85 have significantly less problems with their posture and balance.

seems a hit in the makeup world is it?
but I like lancome and i know its not the only one but i feel comfortable use, I tried other brands and got problems, still i want to try bands but not so pricey like lancome or dior or chanedl

Anything alcoholic is not for me. I want to stop taking soda too

t’s my first OPI Axxium Soak-Off Gel Lacquer, and it’s as if my technician tossed out the rules of a manicure with yesterday’s cotton balls. There’s no soaking my fingers in water‘it’s her opinion we can’t have my nails expand in water, then contract and crack the polish.

And there’s no sitting around afterwards waiting for it to dry: The five coats, including a base and topcoat, are cured in a hand-size UV lamp in just a couple of minutes per layer. The $50 manicure will last at least two weeks.

It offers a layer of protection as if I’d been given artificial nails, yet unlike fake nails, this stuff is just painted on like a polish with no filing,

bonding or sculpting. But the oddest thing about it is that everyone around me is talking about nothing but polish: the coolest colours and just how long their manicure lasted (for one woman, a month and still looking perfect’save a half-moon of natural nail that’s since grown at her cuticles).

Colourful, beautifully shaped nails have become a mainstream beauty obsession. No Canadian numbers are available, but according to U.S. market research, department store nail polish sales jumped 59 percent in the first 10 months of 2011, and the industry south of the border is worth more than $6 billion.

For many, polish is an ‘affordable luxury,’ says Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, artistic director of Los Angeles’based OPI Products. Leeanne Colley of Tips Nail Bar & Spa in Toronto, where I had my nails done, surmises that ‘with the rise of smartphones, our hands are more visible. So having a coat of nail polish on is now a must.’
