• Stick your nails into lemon halves for five minutes and your nails will brighten up instantly.
• After you shower towel dry and apply lotion. This way moisture will be locked in and scaly skin will be gone.
• If you are going to have shimmery eye makeup; have matte lips.
• Apply a thin layer of clear coat every day beginning at the tip.
• When deciding on a red lipstick it is critical you get one that goes good with your undertone. If you are warm undertone you will want warmer reds, and if your undertone is cooler you will want a cooler red. Find out your undertone here.
Conditioning
• Always condition from your ears down.
• Is important to fight against breakouts and potential bacteria. You should clean your brushes a minimum of once a month.
• During the Peter Som Fashion Week Spring 2012 show the models had a touch of peach streaked into their hair. To get this look without dying your hair dust bright blush into your hair or ponytail for the same effect without the damage.
• add glitter or the newest trend crackle polish (which I hate) on top to disguise the look of chipping.
If your cuticle looks red, brown, or darkened when a polish is applied, the color is wrong for you!
Do you have any beauty secrets you want to share?
PS Next week I will post about what I use on my hair!
Those are all fabulous tips. I especially like sticking your fingernails in lemons!

ReplyDeleteI only recently found out about using lemon for stained nails! Apparently using denture tablets is even more effective!

these tips are awesome. I was planning on getting my nails done tomorrow so I will most definitely be applying a thin clear coat everyday thereafter. Thanks for tips!
ReplyDeleteHuh, I didn't know you're only supposed to condition from the ears down. I'll have to try that.
ReplyDeleteI am terrible about remembering to wash makeup brushes... need to get better at that!
ReplyDeleteI also hate the crackle trend!
ReplyDeleteGreat tips Erica! I am definitely going to start following some of these :)
ReplyDeleteSo many good tips!
ReplyDeleteWhat great tips! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThese are great tips! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLove this! And an excellent reminder that I need new makeup brushes. I would love it if you did a post on the best drugstore makeups, as I can no longer afford Mac :(
ReplyDeleteGreat tips! Very helpful about the lemon juice for stained nails, the conditioner only on the bottom half of your hair (though I've heard that before, I seldom do it or remember to do it). Also, how do you clean your makeup brushes? Just soap and water and air dry or is there a specific way?
ReplyDeletethese are FABULOUS tips! thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeletethese are great tips!! thank you!! i will have to share about the lemons for the nails with my momma- she always has that problem.
