Manicures

Our amazing nail technician, Adrian, set up his station at The Cusp inside Neiman Marcus. Guests were invited to come enjoy a complimentary manicure while they shopped. Neiman’s provided gorgeous Tom Ford nail polish and fun Alice + Olivia nail stickers, allowing guests to get really creative with their manicures.

Alice + Olivia

Alice + Olivia set up a fun popcorn station with lots of different flavored popcorn (we particularly liked the cotton candy one!) An Alice + Olivia style expert was there to answer any fashion questions guests had as well. She not only rocked  her own striped manicure, she showed guests which clothes would work best with their pattern.

Spring Color

This spring, it’s all about fun colors. Think teal, coral, and neon! Combine these colors with black and white patterns or glitter for a fun, fresh vibe on your hands and feet.

Spring Patterns

Have some fun with your manicure this spring by playing with patterns. Every nail can be a different pattern as long as you stay in the same color scheme to keep the look cohesive.

Glitter Nails

Shimmer and shine, glitter is a definite do this spring. We particularly love this ombre effect for a little sparkle that isn’t overwhelming.

Nail Designs

Polka dots, cats, splatter paint…. get creative! Nothing is off limits this spring. Pinterest has inspired a whole wave of creative designs. Challenge our nail techs with the most unique design you can think up. Extra points if you incorporate other spring nail trends!

The weather’s warming up, which means it’s time for a brand new beauty routine. Makeup is the final touch for any gorgeous spring look, so make sure you’re caught up on all the hottest trends this season.

Doll Makeup

This doll-like prettiness is sweet, yet seductive; an enchanting look that is sure to catch that special someone’s attention.

Get the look:

Baby Face
Choose a hydrating foundation with light-reflecting particles for a fresh, dewy look.

Feathery Lashes
Curl those lashes and add your favorite mascara. Take this look up a notch by adding false lashes or lash extensions to the outside corners of your eye for a more feathered look.

Soft Metallics
Add white or silver powder to your look to reflect the light that hits your face.

Rose Bud Lips
A soft rose color blends in beautifully on all skin tones, especially when paired with a similarly toned blush. Apply a creamy lipstick then pat it in with fingers or blot with a tissue for a delicate stain that will last all day.

Retro Makeup

Put your own spin on old Hollywood glamour with the retro chic look. This trend is perfect for a night out on the town. All you need now is your little black dress.

Get the look:

Modern Cat Eye
Experiment with a variety of shapes and touches of color to keep this classic look playful and young.

Array of Reds
Nothing says spring fling like a sexy red lip. Make sure to choose the right shade for your skin tone.
For fair skin, choose a coral red to add a pop of color without it being too overpowering.
For medium skin, choose a true red or pink-cranberry shade to compliment your golden undertones.
For dark skin, choose rich colors like burgundy. Anything too bright will look harsh against your skin.

Minimum Makeup

Fun in the sun. Inspired by athletes’ after-game glow, this minimalist/sporty look is perfect for the girl who wants a natural, yet put together, vibe this spring.

Get the look:

Bold brows
Brush up those brows into a dramatic, willful arch and darken with pigment. Embrace the dramatic. This spring, it’s all about big bold brows.

Peachy/Bronze Cheeks
Add a lush peach bronzer to the high parts of the face for a perfectly sun-kissed contoured.

Minimal Mascara
Keep your lashes looking natural with minimal mascara. Clumpy lashes will ruin this natural look.

Now you have everything you need for a flawless spring look. Of course, if you want us to help you achieve any of these looks, book an appointment for an express makeup lesson and we’d be happy to help you out. Just give us a call at (480) 321- 7780.

Pregnancy Skin Care Guide… Get That Glow!

Every mama-to-be dreams of having that gorgeous glow everyone raves about. But due to hormonal fluctuations (and the seemingly endless list of changes the body goes through at this time), your skin may need a little extra TLC. Here’s a roundup of tips, tricks, and recommended (PREGNANCY SAFE) products to keep you and your little bump feeling beautiful!

Acne is the number one skin concern during pregnancy. Unfortunately, the most effective products that eliminate this problem aren’t safe for baby. Be on the label lookout for these common ingredients:

Retinoids-

A type of Vitamin A that speeds up cell division, a retinoid works wonders in keeping acne at bay. BUT studies have proven that when taken orally, isotretinoin (otherwise known as Accutane) can cause birth defects so stay away at all costs! While technically there is no data to show whether or not Vitamin A derivatives are harmful when applied TOPICALLY, it’s better to just stay safe and avoid it!
