I’ve tried a variety of different press-on nails but if you asked me my fave, it would definitely be Broadway Nails’ ImPRESS press-on manicure (their Gel Fantasy ones are also really good). I love the designs and colours, the simplicity and ease of use, and best of all, how gorgeous they look on. They also last for a fair amount of time (at least on my nails, everyone is different).
So with nail art being so popular now and especially the accent nail, I wished that the brand would come out with sets where they offer a few select nails with a different pattern (you could also buy multiple patterns, but that gets expensive). Well, they listened and introduced a line that lets you have that trend, all in one package.
Available in six different designs, these apply the same way you would with the regular line, except that you can officially switch up your manicure and have some fun with different designs. I was especially excited about this line because all the designs are trendy and perfect for the summer and festival season.
In case you aren’t familiar with how these work, you get 24 nails and six accent nails, which come in 12 different sizes. Find the nails that match your natural nail, remove the plastic backing, and then stick them on your nails. That’s it. No glue, no dry time, no damage. They also peel-off to remove, making the process super smooth. The adhesive really does stick for a long time (I can usually get a week’s wear out of them) and they are also waterproof (hello summer!), so no worries about loosing a nail at the pool or beach.
You can find these guys at your local drugstore for around $10.99.
Will you be ricking the accent nail trend this summer?

I think that when you say the name “Andy Warhol”, one thing comes to mind: pop art. This form of art is so iconic and really represents an important movement in art history.
This month’s New York Color challenge was to unleash our inner Andy Warhol and be inspired by the art and era to create an eye-popping, vibrant makeup look.
Being part of the New York Color Beauty Pro program, we get sent a box of goodies every month that helps us to create whatever challenge they throw us. This month’s box was all about colour and included three of their Expert Last Lip Colors (which are amazing by the way) in three bright shades; three of the City Proof 24Hr Waterproof Eyeshadows; and the HD Trio Eyeshadow in Streets Paved with Gold.
Andy Warhol’s art is all about colour, so for this look I chose to do a bright fuchsia lip with a neutral eye and a pop of colour underneath.
First I laid down the City Proof 24Hr Waterproof Eyeshadow in 6th Avenue Gold Rush all over the lids, then with the middle colour from the HD Trio Eyeshadow in Streets Paved in Gold, I lightly dusted this into the crease. Using the bottom colour from the trio, I swiped this all over the lid, the popped the lightest colour in the inner corner. With the white City Proof eyeshadow (Rockefellar Center Snowflakes), I put this along my brow bone to highlight. To finish up the eyes, I did a black cat eye with the Madison Square Park City Proof eyeshadow (the green one) along my lower lash line. For the lips I used Expert Last Lip Color in Forever Fuchsia.
This particular challenge was a lot of fun to do since I’ve always been a huge fan of Warhol’s work (in fact, I want to get a photo done of Ziggy in pop art fashion). I totally think this look is very wearable and still plays a nice homage to the era.
How do you do pop art?

Yasss, yasss, and YASSSSSSSS.
Can we just talk about the amount of full-size products in each box? The hair colour coupons alone are almost double the price of the box. If you were to just buy the mascara in store, lots of places retail both those mascaras (which are some of my faves, might I add) for close to $9.
And that’s not all (cue infomercial voice). Included in the $9 is free shipping and handling, and for a limited time, you can get a free 60-day trial to Next Issue.
I received both boxes, and honestly I can’t pick a favourite since there is a mix of faves in both boxes (plus they each serve a different purpose for me – the Fearless one is a great one if you travel lots). Honestly though, if you are super confused which to choose, order both, and then get some extras for friends. They are $9 each and you get so many products that would cost you way more than that if you were to just buy them at the drugstore.
Get on it people!! This is one deal you don’t want to miss out on.
Order your box here.
