Nail Color I am Loving CQ-Slate

I know we always think that we have found the best nail polish color in the world right? But honestly I feel as if I am always finding new colors that I swear that I will die with out. So when browsing through my local CVS and saw Slate by CQ in its cute little bottle I could not pass it up. Of course I had to convince my self that since it was the last by left of that color that if I didn't get it now I would never find this deep but bold dark green. Plus since it was only like $3.00, so how could I say no??! Sadly this nail polish sat on my desk for about three weeks even though I thought that I would die without it. But finally I put this nail polish on and it is even prettier than I expected the color is so unique its hard to explain. Trust me though it is beautiful and I have been getting compliments on it all week!

Ok, now that that you have seen it you must say that it is breath taking! Ok, yeah I know its just nail polish but for a nail polish it is really cute:)

Beauty Tips for Healthy Nails

Don't you just hate when you see people with the perfect looking nails or after you get a manicure your nails look fabulous and you wish that your nails would stay like that forever! Well here are some tips that I use to keep my nails looking healthy, natural, and beautiful!

First make sure your nails stay hydrated by applying a lotion with Vitamin E or use petroleum jelly at night and rub it into your nails. A great hand lotion that I use to keep my nails healthy is the Curel Fast Absorbing Hand and Cuticle lotion.

This lotion is about $5-$7 at drugstores and general stores. What I like about it is that it is good for your hands, nails and cuticles and leaves your hands feeling soft. It also is fast absorbing so you don't have to spend a lot of time rubbing it into your hands.

When pushing your cuticle back make sure that you do so at least a 45 degree angle doing any other way can cause severe damage to the cuticle which will damage your nails

When it comes to filing I know I always see people filing their nails back and forth instead of in one direction which is the right way. Never file back and forth but always in one direction.
Never file your nails after you have washed your hands or got out the shower. Water softens the nail making them easier to break or have uneven cuts.


Buy a Nail Buffer! Not only does this bring out the natural shine in your nails but it also creates stimulation that can cause your nails to grow faster and healthier.

Buffers such as this one can be brought at beauty stores and general stores $2-$4
When doing household chores wear rubber gloves to protect your nails from damage. Always dry your nails and never them wet this can create fungus.
