How Do You Prefer Your Nails?
30 MayI came across this nifty little nail chart on Pinterest today and it definitely made me wonder what nail shapes everyone else preferred. I’ve seen these shapes change throughout the years depending on current trends etc. I was a ‘square girl’ early on and now I’m totally a short and ‘squoval girl’. What nail shape are you?

Kate Upton: Vogue
13 MayKate Upton has been everywhere lately from Sports Illustrated to Vogue, she’s been a very busy woman. Once in a while she’ll do an editorial that isn’t so “hooters” looking and they always turn out amazing! The 20 year old’s latest Vogue shoot features her clad in Summertime styles.
In the issue, Upton spoke of her now-famous curves ”I can’t change my bra size. They’re natural! I can work out and I can stay healthy and motivated, but I can’t change some things. I really just live my life,” she tells the magazine. “I love my body. It’s what God gave me! I feel confident with myself, and if that inspires other women to feel confident with their bodies, great.” The Vogue June issue hits stands May 21.

DIY- Scuff Removal (2 simple steps)
13 AprGood afternoon! I thought I’d share my scuff removal tips with you all as I clean my heels up after a night out. I try to clean my heels after each wear, keeping them beautiful for many years! It’s also much easier to maintain them with a quick wipe down and scuff removal than to let it build up. I’ve always been able to clean my leather shoes pretty easily but had such a hard time with patent leather until one day it somehow popped in my head to try nail polish remover on a big red scuff and IT WORKED! Since then I’ve wiped away dozens of scuffs successfully!
What you’ll need:
*nail polish remover
*1, maybe 2 Q-tips (cotton swabs)
* 2 minutes of your time
Once you have your Q-tips and nail polish remover, you simply dip the Q-tip into the nail polish remover and gently wipe over the scuff in a back and forth motion until it disappears! Once the scuff is removed, flip the Q-tip around and use the dry side to wipe off any access nail polish remover. It’s that easy! and YES this removes those unsightly red Louboutin scuffs! I have used this method on leather and patent leather and have found that it works especially well on patent leather because the surface is so slick. I have NOT tried it on suede because quite frankly I’m scared that it would smear the stain rather than remove it. I hope this helps you all next time you have a shoe in need of scuff removal!
