The count down as begun. Every year thousands of people raise a glass of champagne to cheer the end of one year and the beginning of another. The mood of New Year’s is expectant, things are about to change and hopefully for the better.

Read MoreIt’s party time, time to get out all the glitz and shimmer. I’ve created 3 easy nail pairings that you can wear this holiday season. They are quick and easy and take very little time, just the way I like it. The concept of each pairing is simple and you can easily change out the shades I’m using and replace them with ones that you prefer.

I’m not sure what happened but when I say down to think about the products that I was loving this past month, these are the ones that stood out to me. It’s not to say that I haven’t used other products I liked, I just tend to classify those as my work horse faves.
Read MoreI think that a nude polish shade is essential. They are able to suit many different occasions, you can dress up or dress down a nude. So whether you’re heading to a work party or a get together with friends, you’re good to go with a nude. There’s no worry about it clashing with a dress or an accessory.
