Beauty Tips for Women: Matte French Manicure

Posted on October 12, 2013 by admin

I love French manicures, so when I saw the matte French manicure I had to try it. Recently I had picked up Salon Perfect Matte Fx but hadn’t used it and thought it would be perfect to try this technique.

So I started off with two coats of Wet n Wild Ebony Hates Chris and two coats of Orly Unlawful on my ring finger.

I waited until my nails were dry to apply Matte Fx. I totally forgot to take a picture of this step. Again waited for the nails to dry completely. This using clear top coat did the French manicure line. Very easy and it came out nice.

My sister really liked the manicure and wanted a pedicure. I recreated the look for her and it came out great. It was hard to get a good picture of the pedicure because of her awesome shoes.

Over all I found the technique to be very easy and I liked the way the matte French manicure came out. I would definitely recommend Salon Perfect Matte Fx. It performed well and the matte effect came out great.

Buy Buy Baby Coupons Recommendation

Posted on October 11, 2013 by admin

One of my goals on the buy buby baby coupons blog is to share some tips and little known or little used deals for parents. One of these tips is that a great source for baby coupons is your local supermarket, which provide Pampers coupons and Huggies coupons. Most supermarkets will have baby clubs that you can join either online or by picking up their application in stores. I wanted to share some tips and info about these supermarket baby clubs on buy buy baby coupons blog because I find that most parents don’t know about this great resource for free baby coupons.

I wish I could list on buy buy baby coupons all the supermarkets that offer baby clubs but I will just have to be happy with listing my two local supermarkets, Publix and Winn-Dixie, both of which have baby clubs and I will explain some details about the club. I recommend signing up if these are your local supermarkets. If these two supermarkets aren’t local to you, just go to your local supermarkets website and see if they have a baby club to sign up for or they will have an application in stores to fill out and mail to them.

The Publix baby club sends me a page of printed coupons that run for the month. Here is a little buy buy baby coupons blog list of the types of coupons I receive: they include a $1 off produce, a $1 off deli, $1 off dairy. Coupons for baby bath products and other household items. First time parents get a great book called “Caring for Your Baby and Young Child”, by the American Academy of Pediatrics’. It is a complete guide to raising a child, a $20 value, and it is free. You will also get a newsletter until your baby’s second birthday packed with great tips and more free baby coupons.

Once your child hits age two, the Publix program rolls over in to the Publix Preschool Pals. If you missed enrolling in the baby club for Publix and your child is two, three or four, sign up for the Preschool Pals program. Here is a little buy buy baby coupons blog list of what I have received: a quarterly newsletter, birthday cards, activity books and some pretty cute prizes.

The Winn-Dixie baby club deals with earning points. You get $10 back for every 200 points in baby item purchases. You do get coupons for free products. Here is a little buy buy baby coupons blog list of what I received: a free 18-month baby t-shirt, a free cover for the shopping cart to sit your baby in. They send the best coupons for Pampers and Huggies. I will get some for $3 to $5 off any size Pampers or Huggies diapers. They may not offer as much as Publix but they still have some good stuff that is worth signing up for.

On a side note Publix is now accepting coupons from Target, Winn-Dixie, Whole Food Market and Sedano’s. The recommendation of buy buy baby coupons blog is if you have clipped some good baby coupons from the other stores all you have to do is wait for a good sale at Publix and use the competitor’s coupons and combine it with the manufacture’s coupon and you will get a great deal. Keep in mind with the advent of “extreme couponing” some stores are refusing to combine coupons because of the consumer abuse in wiping out inventory.

Beauty Tips for Women: Taupe Manicure

Posted on September 26, 2013 by admin

Looking for a nice taupe color then let me suggest Nicole OPI – My Jay Or The Highway! from their Modern Family collection. I saw this polish in the store and it didn’t call to me at all until I saw a manicure using the color and just fell in love with it.

Here is my simple and quick manicure using this polish.

My Jay Or The Highway! is a lovely cream taupe/nude color. The formula was very nice. It applied very smoothly and with two coats reached opacity. For my ring finger I decided to using Color Club – Beyond. Beyond is an amazing black holographic polish. I used two coats. I tried to capture the holographic effect put simply couldn’t do it justice.

Although I liked the manicure just fine with the accent finger I wanted to add something so I decided to try my hand at a french tip using Beyond. I did it freehand and it didn’t come out to bad. But I defiantly have to work on my freehand technique.
