Yesterday, the Birchbox team was busy prepping our videos for March. As always, we’re so excited to bring you tips and tricks on all things beauty, but we just couldn’t wait till the videos are all finished to share some fun information. One of our favorite nail art bloggers, Miss Ladyfinger, stopped by the shoot to help educate us on all things polish related. We snuck a peek into her makeup bag and found this product inside, which is one of her all-time favorites. Find out why below!
No one knows cool manicures better than our good friend Taryn Multack of the sensational nail art blog, Miss LadyFinger. We thought we’d utilize her expertise this season and send her backstage at L.A.M.B. to see what fun look Color Club was whipping up. Like a pro, she got the deets on the presentation’s edgy design, which is surprisingly easy to replicate.
Retro-punk was the vibe backstage at Saturday’s L.A.M.B. presentation. Accordingly, nails were only half-painted to achieve a unique worn effect. “We wanted to emphasize the edginess of the L.A.M.B. collection,” said Alicia Torello, the lead manicurist for Color Club, “so we are going for a purposefully chipped look.”

The year is winding down and travel season is under way. Whether you’re headed somewhere warm, or claiming real estate next to the fireplace at home, I’ve got the perfect nail art for you. Jill Stuart’s opening look from her spring 2012 line is the a great hybrid design: it hints at spring with a fun Palm Springs motif, yet it’s totally holiday appropriate with its festive red hue. For this advanced tutorial, I used a nail art brush with Choco-Latte by Sally Hansen and Lollipop by Essie.

1. Prep your nail with base coat.
2. Apply your nude color to your whole nail.
3. Draw a V at the bottom of your nail using a nail art brush dipped in red polish.
4. Using the photo as a guide, outline a palm tree motif on one half of the nail.
5. Mirror the same design on the other half of the nail.
6. Fill in the design with red.
7. Top off with Seche Vite Fast Dry Top Coat and you’re all set! Gorgeous Jill Stuart nails ready for a night out on the town.

In the grand scheme of beauty injuries, a bad hair day is like a tiny paper cut when compared to a nail break. Coincidentally, I broke a nail right before preparing this post. But thanks to my mom (who has gorgeous nails, btw), I have a perfect yet unconventional remedy: super glue. While this won’t save your nail forever, it will prolong its lifeline for a couple of weeks. For this emergency, you’ll need a buffer, super glue (I recommend Krazy Glue), and a good base coat. I swear by Quimica Alemana Nail Hardener. Here’s how to salvage a break:

We’ve all had that moment of utter panic. You know, the one where you suddenly realize that you can’t get that ring off your finger. Or, even worse, when you go to remove the super-cute glitter polish that seemed like a good idea at the time, but now it won’t come off.
I’ve been there.
While I was thisclose to abandoning glitter polish forever, I knew deep down that there was no chance I could live without Deborah Lippman’s Across the Universe. I was in need of a serious solution. Happily, I have now found one! And I feel like it’s my duty to divulge my discovery to ladies everywhere. Here is the secret to removing glitter nail polish:
