Oh my god I WANT THEM!! :!

=D
 
For those interested in the nang nails =D, they are actually glue-ons (I am the master of the art of glue-on-bought-at-Walgreens, lol). They're called Chromeffex by Kiss, and apparently they are distributed through Ivy Enterprises, not Kiss directly, so you can't get them on the Kiss website. I bought these in a beauty shop in a mall in Glen Burnie, MD, and I haven't been able to find them anywhere since. :( They come in silver, gold, and a similarly shiny red. I found a similar pair in I think it was the Diva line that Broadway sells at a Wal-Mart near my place, but half of the nails had zebra stripe on them, and I'm always hesitant to buy sets where all the nails aren't the same color - what happens if only one of the nails that fits me is one of the patterns and all the rest aren't? That would look weird as hell... I've never found any nail polish that shines like these nails did - they looked straight up like chrome, it was great! :)
 
Agreed, very femme fatale r*N*r.

What are some tips for shaving your bikini line? Currently I'm using the Schick Intuition razor, the one with the soap around the blade and I love it for other parts of my body but when I shave my bikini line I always end up with painful and unsightly red bumps :(

I have tried at home waxing kits, but I must be doing something wrong because they never fully remove the hair, and I'm too cheap to go to a salon and get it professionally done.

Advice? Tips and tricks?
 
^ i use the Venus razor. i find that i get razor bumps when i'm shaving daily so i tend to wait a few days until i have a little more stubble. also, it helps if the razor is new, you're using shave gel (i use the boyfriend's) and you shave in a warm shower which helps to soften hair.

i also wax on occassion with Sally Hansen's All Over Body Wax. it seems to work much better than most other at-home waxing kits i've tried.
 
Although I am a dude who has never shaved his legs, I find that when shaving my face the best way to prevent razor burn is to 1) Prime your skin first with some oil so the razor is less likely to catch 2) use shaving cream and try to get the cream underneath the hairs, not just on top (you know how hairs like to 'lie') 3) Don't shave too frequently, the shorter it is, the more likely you will get razor burn.
 
^THIS! I always did the same stuff when I used to shave my legs on a regular basis.

Also, to tend to the bumps, get some Tend Skin. It's a miracle product!!! I can't pimp it enough! I get massively bad razor burn everywhere and really bad ingrowns in my bikini area all the time, and the Tend Skin always keeps them at bay. Since I've switched to waxing (I get professionally waxed from the waist down every 4 weeks), I'm even more prone to ingrowns, but the Tend Skin still does its job perfectly.
 
^^ Okay hun, seriously, I am obsessing, where can I get some of those nails???
It's okay if you want it to be a secret ;)
But if you could tell me that would be awesome. I want them!!! =D
 
I wish I would have known about the Zoya deal a few months ago before I trashed all my old polish. :(
 
Hey ladies,
I have the worst break out right now. One of those really nasty looking teenage pimples (but I'm in my 20s!!). Anyway, I messed with it yeah yeah its hard not to but now it looks so much worst. Red, swollen and hurts.

Any home remedies that you can suggest?
Right now I just put some neosporin on it and covered it so I couldn't touch it anymore...
 
I recommend getting some tea-tree oil (you should be able to get some from a drugstore) and dab it on the end of an earbud onto the pimple. It will dry it out over the course of a few days, and will also disinfect the area and stop it from spreading. :)
 
Tea tree for breakouts is good stuff. ;)

RNR, LOL @ Glen Burnie :D I couldn't believe the stuff we found in the K-mart there.

I'm doing the Zoya thing after I collect a few more old nail polishes (or go to the dollar store, lol). What colors have you ladies gotten?

I also can't recommend the Organix coconut serum highly enough, still. It seems like products quit working on my hair after a bit. Not this one.

For shaving, witch hazel applied to/around the area with a cotton ball (also good for acne, PT) tends to keep the bumps away.
 
^I recommend using it daily and also immediately after shaving. (caution: it might sting like a bitch right after shaving)

Pillthrill: I'll second the witch hazel, and I also recommend salicylic acid (comes in tons of acne products and other face care stuff). I actually also use Tend Skin on my bad zits (I'm 25 and I still have shitty acne problems half the time) - the Tend Skin is basically just a bunch of drying agents, including salicylic acid. Word of caution though, as I said, it's just a bunch of drying agents, so you need VERY VERY little if you're going to use it on your face. I usually just put a tiny bit on a Q-tip and dot it directly onto the pimple.
 
My favourite nail blogger just did a post on Minx metallic nails! The gold looks so awesome, I could think of so many occasions I would wear that!

I have bright blue sparkly polish on today, it's so pretty when it hits the light!
It's China Glaze Dorothy Who;
