Check out the ways these techniques can help us all to look better in the upcoming year.
Rich Mineral Nails
Go for long, shiny nails that won’t run during the winter months. To achieve the look we all want, the best trick is to use pure natural pigments to achieve a dazzling base for your nails. The ‘angry’ tones of blue, green and pink will only grow over time. Choose silver polish or get a metallic ‘runway’ colored color as a base. You don’t have to get a full nail by varnishing every nail, it’s cool to let your nail look natural.
Choose several colors from an ombre palette, leaving a 1/2 inch or 3/4 inch base off of each color. Wait before peeling the nail, which allows a thinner layer of polish to show through.
Finish with your favorite nail varnish color.
A Black and Brown Mousse
It’s time to consider a different way to apply nail polish! This ‘nail paint makeup’ finishes on dry and gives a bold red or natural sheen. If you use red, you can match your lipstick or blush, making it a simple hair day makeup. If you want to dress up, play with different shades in different shades of brown. A bold ‘baggy’ darker shade will pick up on the lighter browns in your hair, while a shimmery glimmer will make the color look more dramatic.
The mold is flexible and can be ‘stretched,’ so it can really fit your fingers.
Mix up your base color or pick a neutral shade before applying.

Apply to keep your color in place. When you move the coat of nail color, you’ll have more help, resulting in longer, flirty nails.

Take off the coat, then slap on some more.
Red Tips
The way your hand and your nails grow together has been dubbed ‘chromophobia.’ The word literally means ‘screaming fear.’ By making a fist, you’ll create a bowl shape that vibrates. This ensures that the hand form remains static, not moving. It’s a painless way to lengthen your digits, whether you are comfortable with this or not.
It is recommended to have a pedicure, as this will ensure you’re working within the rules of ‘chromophobia.’ It’s not worth being a pedicurist if you feel pain while doing it. It isn’t uncommon to have a painful pedicure once in a while, but it won’t keep you away.
Red is great for finishing a lot of things – from hair to skin care – with a great matte finish.

Double Up On Your Essential Oil
It’s time to add a special oil to your beauty routine. ‘LUST’- a small bottle of mild cedar oil- can make your fingertips as moisturized as your face, making your fingers even stronger and beautiful. Go for a blackberry, raspberry or maroon oil to liven up your fingertips. In fact, cedar oil works on all skin types – all undertones and exfoliation will help to yield a clear, gorgeous skin. Just bear in mind that it can be drying, so put on an eye mask, help to chill out.
Red, both on our face and body, goes well with anything festive. It also works for sun-kissed skin, tanned skin, and any woman who’s tired of her drab winter days.
Red Tinted Lipstick
How about a red lipstick that’s not for every girl? This ‘Red and Brown’ liquid lipstick is sophisticated, fun and smooth, and works well with blush, eye shadow and lipstick. Just put it on and pull it back as you’re walking out the door.
