Beauty Solutions: Beauty Secrets Nail Polish Corrector Pen

I’m right handed and I have to admit that I’m a tiny bit clumsy when I need to use my left hand to paint my right hand fingernails. Polish all over the cuticles isn’t something new for me and since I prefer bold nail colors, you can see I have a problem.

If you’re like me and your polish seems to go where it’s needed and where it’s not, you might want to consider a Beauty Secrets Nail Polish Corrector Pen. It is filled with acetone and has a little angled felt tip. If you misapply that awesome nail polish you'll just have to wait for it to dry and the rub it out with the tip of this pen. It will leave your manicure (or pedicure for that matter) looking salon perfect, as it should always be. If you are in the habit of painting you nails as you’re leaving the house and don’t give them time to fully dry before you’re out the door, it can be carried in your purse for a quick touch up in case you made any minor mistakes.

This product is more efficient than dipping a q-tip in nail polish remover because it’s more precise and it’s always ready – no need to go messing with the bottle of nail polish remover after your nails are done and risk it spilling on you hand ruining all your hard work!

If you love french tips but don't want to use those little sticky guides, you can also do the tip by youreself and then clean up the line with this pen. After that, use a topcoat and you're done! It doesn't get easier.

If you have acrylic nails or you prefer not to use acetone for some other reason, there are similar pens that contain acetone free nail polish remover, they are just a little bit harder to find.

Product Review: Sally Hansen's new HD High-Definition Nail Color Collection

When I first saw Sally Hansen's new I have to admit, I was a little skeptical. I mean, Electric Yellow? Teal? Iridescent Purple? Are people really going to wear these colors?


After applying two coats, I instantly realized that Sally Hansen is right; these High-Definition colors are truly the next generation of nail polishes. Using advanced technology to create long-lasting color, these eight polishes (ranging from yellow to purple) will keep their luster while remaining intact longer. The non-sticky formula makes it easy to apply and minimize any mistakes. Also, the iridescent finish give your nails more depth and a major boost of shine. The colors are definitely eye-catching. What's even better is that every shade appears true to it's color. Finally, a nail polish that takes care of all the guess work! Although I had to push myself out of my comfort zone with these mega-watt colors, I'm now proud to call myself a believer! After a careful and thorough review, here are my top four picks. Enjoy!!

This neon green , aptly named 'Hi Def', looks just as bright on my nails as it does in the bottle. It has a nice, subtle sheen and I love how it reflects the light! I plan to wear it with summery floral dresses as long as I can. When the weather gets cooler, the green will add an unexpected pop of color to any outfit!

Lite ,' an intense yellow , might be a bold choice, considering my pale skin, but I just love the lemony, citrus shade ! Again, its a perfect shade for summer. Its also versatile enough to wear anywhere; during any season. This color will pair up perfectly with a flirty slip dress or make a statement with a conservative suit at the office.

This fall I'm officially going to swap out my old, burgundy stand-by polish for 'Pixel Pretty' . Since my winter wardrobe consists of deep, rich-colored sweaters and basic, dark jeans, this teal shade will totally amp up my look! I love how this blue-green color instantly makes my mind wander to warm, tropical oceans....

Always a creature of habit, I have inevitably saved the best for last. I've always been a sucker for hot pink and 'Digital ' definitely takes the cake! It's smooth, non-sticky formula is so easy to apply that I literally finished painting both hands in less than two minutes - which is a major feat in my book! Any product that saves time and looks fabulous will quickly become one of my new favorite obsessions!

Sally Hansen's new colors are definitely a statement worth building an outfit around! And, at only $5.95 a bottle, these polishes are a steal. Look for the complete line of colors at Walgreens . However if you'd like to try your luck, Sally Hansen is having a cool sweepstakes in which you can win not only some of these polishes but also a huge HD TV.

My Nail Obsession with OCC

I’m very particular when it comes to a lot of things in my life: guys, food, hair care products and most importantly nail polish. Yes ladies – nail polish! I’m the type of woman who’ll walk into a nail salon carrying a bag filled with nail lacquers because I'm never satisfied with what the salons have to offer. It’s either their polishes are too dull, thick & gooey, thin, or just plain ugly. Recently, I was introduced to David Klasfeld's Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics and wanted to share my new found obsession with his nail lacquers.


I'll admit; the colors of the lacquers make a favorable first impression, but that is only the beginning. I'd like to test the shine, durability and application to see whether or not these lacquers are deserving of the name "OCC".


The first color I'll test is Wasabi, which is a beautiful light green with a yellowish tinge. I'm deeply impressed by how the polish remains true to its color. Isn't it ironic how we're accustomed to paying for one thing and receiving another that on the rare occasions when we do happen to get what we've paid for, we're shocked? Well, this is one of those rare occasions! Unlike many inefficient nail lacquers, two coats will do the trick (which saves on time and money). Each satin coat is accompanied by a quick-drying effect. This seemed too good to be true; I'll sample another polish to help formulate my opinion.


Traffic, which is best described as a bright vivid yellow, is my next choice. Similar to Wasabi, the overall quality is excellent: no clumping, not too thick or thin - exhibiting a vibrant, satin finish. At this point I'm fixated by the lacquers, which so far are proven worthy of the OCC name; despite the fact that I haven't review Grandma yet.


Let's save the best for last. Grandma exudes a bright coral hue - one of the best corals I have ever seen for a nail polish. Although Wasabi is my favorite, Grandma best compliments my brown complexion. The colors are fun, perfect for summer and remind me of my favorite bite size snack - skittles. I can't stop playing around with these nail lacquers; I'm totally obsessed!


OCC's lacquers come in 20 different shades. And at $8 a (0.5 fl oz) bottle, they're well worth it. Regardless of your skin tone, OCC's lacquers will definitely do the trick. "David Klasfeld (CEO and Creative Director of Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics) knows a thing or two about beauty. "When it comes to creating lustrous, quality polish - he nails it!"
