"What: No More Waity Katie nail lacquer.
Where: b-glowing.com
Why bother: Kate Middleton, the Princess in Waiting, has young women around the world clamoring to copy her wardrobe and style. A new limited-edition nail polish called No More Waity Katie, by Butter London, pays tribute to the dark-haired beauty who snagged Prince William after years of on-again, off-again New York-style dating. The polish is a shade of greige (gray and beige combined) with a splash of lilac glitter. It's rich, royal and perfectly princessy. Butter polishes are all toxin free (no formaldehyde or carcinogens) and favored by celebs including Rihanna and the fashion princess Kate Moss (who will also be married this summer). Now let the focus return to Middleton's wedding dress for the April nuptials.
How Much: $14 for 4 fluid ounces."Read More »

We love Gwenyth Paltrow for her elegant style and impeccable taste! We love her even more now since she has found some of her good taste at b-glowing.com in the likes of Patyka, Olivella, butter LONDON's No More Waity, Katie Lip Lacquerand PRTTY Peaushun! When we opened our Goop email from her this morning (her daily mailing about natural things to do, make, wear, get, etc) we were thrilled to see she included some of our favorites that we've sent her.
Butter LONDON "No More Waity, Katie: "Butter London makes a line of "3 Free" polishes which are free from formaldehyde, toluene, and Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP)—three ingredients found in most nail lacquers. They mix great colors including this great sparkly purple in honor of the upcoming royal wedding, a sparkly purple, "No More Waity, Katie."
Patyka: "Patyka is a French brand that has two product lines—Absolis (body washes, facial cleansers and creams), and Biokaliftin (anti-wrinkle serums and the like)—that are pretty intense. Just look at their website; each and every product has an extensive list of all of the natural active ingredients and the wonders they do for your skin. And to top it off, the packaging is gorgeous."
PRTTY Peaushun: "Tracy Anderson told me about this stuff, which is the new miracle cream. Developed by a Hollywood makeup artist, Bethany Karlyn, this cream makes the skin glow and brings out muscle tone—making it a great one for parties and public appearances."
Olivella: "Olivella is a huge line of olive oil-based products including creams, cleansers, shower gels, soaps, etc. The products are all allergen and scent-free and because they're olive oil based, they're full of vitamins A & E which are great for the skin. The cleansing wipes are especially handy for a quick wash at the beginning or end of the day"
MADARA: "Madara is another line of eco and organic products developed by a woman who, unable to find exactly what she wanted, made it herself. Now her line includes shampoos, moisturizers, bath soaps, cellulite reducers, facial moisturizers and even a line for organic baby care."
Ko Denmark: "Henriette Holst has kept things simple with her line of natural body washes and moisturizers. They're based on two key ingredients—neroli and jasmine—which have a wonderful scent."

The world is in a frenzy about the Royal wedding and I admit I was a little misty-eyed when I watched the couple take their second kiss on the balcony. A princess is born!
Not everyone can get the Royal treatment that Kate did but you can celebrate in style with these Royal-inspired butter LONDON nail colors:
HRH (Stands for Her Royal Highness- which is what she will be known...
I just got back from a whirlwind 48 hour trip to New York City. I'm embarrassed to say that I'm a NYC virgin. I don't know what took me so long to get there but am grateful that I finally got the chance to go and from what I experienced, cannot wait to get back there again.
In actuality, I'm kind of glad it took me 31 years. As a tomboyish teenager, there was no big draw card as I didn't have an interest in fashion, architecture, or food. To me, vacation meant sandy beach or at least a water park.

To keep with all things fashion related due to New York Fashion Week I thought it would be fun to write about one of our favorite nail polish brands, Butter London. I had the pleasure of speaking with the super gorgeous and trendy creator of this in demand lacquer range, Nonie Creme, at the pop up shop at Milk Made Studios in West Village.
Even more exciting, Nonie and her team have been lacquering many a model behind the edgiest designers at New York Fashion Week. I got to see a glimpse inside the madness when I followed her backstage for the Yigal Azrouel show, where it was all about vampy sex appeal. Nonie and the girls used La Moss, which is a vixenish deep red. Picture goblets of red wine overflowing and you'll get the picture. The shade looked amazing and really popped against the more muted makeup the models were sporting.

If you like to follow the latest fashion and beauty trends to hit the catwalks of New York and Europe then might we suggest a nail polish shade that has interestingly been all the rage--green. Yes, green has occasionally been considered a "dirty" color, but according to Butter London's Creative Director Nonie Creme, "dirty" is the new rage.
The nail trends for Autumn/Winter 2011 are all about reflecting a luxe-grunge persona, and your lacquers should be reminiscent of a dirty, tarnished jewel so to speak. Instead of the bright deep red of a ruby, choose a garnet; or a dirty teal instead of a sapphire.Read More »

I seem to be talking a lot along the lines of nail polish, but what can I say, it's one of the latest obsessions around the office as of late. Remember how I mentioned my frustration with painting? Well, thanks to the great invention of nail skins those worries are in the past. Butter LONDON has come out with a small assortment of fashionable nail skins to take your nail flare to a whole other level.Read More »
Elle.com recently did a post about some of the hot nail trends for the Holiday/Winter 2011 season and some of our favorite nail lacquers made the cut! Stay on trend and be festive and fabulous by rocking some of the shades below.
1. Denim inspired navy tones. They used to be big a couple seasons ago and now they're experiencing a resurrection. Deborah Lippmann's Lady Sings The Blues offers a shimmering navy shade with tiny flecks of glitter. If you want to nix the sparkle and go for a wearable matte navy hue then take a look at Butter London's Royal Navy.
2. Muted Gold. Instead of glistening gold that can be seen from down the street, opt for more muted, brassy tones. Think antique! Deborah Lippmann's Believe is a golden beige shade that's soft hue looks great on everyone. For another great option, you can't go wrong with Butter London's Wallis. This tarnished gold was custom blended by creative director Nonie Creme for the Betsy Johnson runway show so no wonder it was a hit!Read More »

Rachel is dying over it at the moment because it's the perfect shade to get you noticed during daytime hours and has the perfect amount of pop to transition into cocktail hour. Rock a metallic eye and The Black Knight on your fingertips for the perfect pizzazz. The ideal stocking stuffer for those you love.Read More »

Whether you're the flashy type or not, you can't go wrong with rocking a Mardi Gars manicure this time of year. Skip the salon and style your nails at home using the following techniques, along with the butter LONDON and Deborah Lippman versions of the classic Mardi Gras colors – purple, green, black and gold.
Dotted Nails. Whip out your dot-making manicure tool (a toothpick also works) to make a fun Mardi Gars-inspired dotted design on your nails. For example, paint your nails all black. When the polish dries, top it with a vertical row of dots using a different colors of lacquer on each finger. For the most pizzazz, use butter LONDON's "British Racing Green," Deborah Lippman's "Boom Boom Pow" gold glitter polish and Deborah Lippman's "Purple Rain" for the dots.Read More »
Add romance to every inch of your body and complete your Valentine's Day look with a great nail color. While your hot date may only last one night, a pretty nail color can help revitalize the look of your hands and keep you feeling pretty throughout the rest of the week. Here are some of our top picks for Valentine's Day nail polish, from Deborah Lippman and butter LONDON:
1. Pink. Pink is the universal color of love and can help induce feelings of amour, acceptance, caring, tenderness, friendship and, most importantly for Valentine's Day, romance. For a sheer, flirty color, try "Dream a Little Dream of Me" by Deborah Lippman. This nail color is a mix of sweet pink frosting and the glimmering of pearls. For something a little darker, go for "Dahling" nail lacquer by butter LONDON – it's a dusty rose color that's feminine and perfect for any skin tone.Read More »
You don't have to dress like a leprechaun's twin sister to show your Irish spirit. A splash of green on your fingers from your friends at Deborah Lippman or butter LONDON is all you need to make a fashion-forward statement and avoid the dreaded St. Patrick's Day pinching. This year, our two favorite nail gurus offer a wide selection of rich, on-trend green lacquers for one of the year's biggest party nights:
Don't Tell Mama. Announced as Kelly Rippa's favorite stocking stuffer, "Don't Tell Mama" from Deborah Lippman is a dark evergreen polish with a hint of sophisticated glimmer. The color is like a mood ring, straddling the line between the dark green shade that means you're happy and the blue color that means you're in love.
Across the Universe. With this Deborah Lippman polish, you'll look like you're holding Irish stars in your hands. "Across the Universe" is packed with chunky, bright, metallic blue and green glitter, along with specks of sheer navy sparkles. Use this color on an accent nail or to create a French tip with "Don't Tell Mama" as the base color.Read More »
Nail designs are all the rage, but it can be hard to find the time (or the cash) to hit up the local salon for an intricate, professionally applied nail design. This is where butter LONDON comes to the rescue with its latest innovation: stick-on nail skins. Remember the space-age cartoon "The Jetsons"? When the girls put on nail polish, it was applied in an instant and dried just as fast. This is kind of how nail skins work.
As of February 2012, butter LONDON offers three nail skin designs: Leopard, Give & Take and Black Bird. The Leopard nail skin features the traditional animal print, with black spots on a yellowish-tan background. Give & Take is a skin with a beige background color and black letters that spell out the words "give" and "take." Each letter is on an individual nail, and the extra nails have bird silhouettes. Black Bird has a black background with bright flowers and outlines of butter LONDON's signature bird.

I always get a kick out of the lacquer names every season from Butter London. Although most of them have 'brit-slang' origins I tend to have heard them before, however for a few from the latest Fall/Winter 2012 collection I had to hit urban dictionary…
Butter London Trustafarian is a sage green shade flecked with gold. You don't have to be a 'privileged white kid who subscribes to the hippie lifestyle,' as urban dictionary explains to wear this particular shade.
Butter London Lovely Jubbly is a vibrant magenta flecked with red, blue, and gold micro particles. I haven't been on a drug induced trip but it definitely has a throwback to the 70's with a distinct retro vibe. This is a Studio 54 polish if there ever was one.
Butter London Gobsmacked is a heavily pigmented charcoal gray lacquer that gives a slightly textured appearance. I for one love anything gray borderlining black shades and I like that is has some subtle glitter to it. It's comparable to a starry night!
Butter London Shag is my favorite standout from the range. I haven't seen a shade like it before with it's orange burgundy fusion. Almost looks like an antique polish and think it's perfect for the fall season.
Butter London Dodgy Barnett blurs the line between gray and silver. Highly holographic it almost resembles liquid metal on your fingertips...

Another season of great fashion has ended so it's time to reflect on some gorgeous nail trends seen at New York Fashion Weeks Spring/Summer 2013 shows. Butter London is responsible for creating gorgeous bespoke shades for many of the hottest shows and this year was no exception. However, I did notice there seemed to be a love of natural manicured nails at many of the shows at you can see below.
Starting off my favorite of the bunch was from the VEDA show. The inspiration for this show was a 'Cosmic Nail' with a mix of mauve and olive with celestial effects. To add an edge to the look, a glossy black stripe was added for a geometric element. The nails were complimented by soft makeup and mohawks. Recreate the Veda look yourself with a mix of Sloane Ranger, Toff, Knackered and Gobsmacked.
It was all about rock and roll for the Kaleen show which translated to a grungy, distressed nail. Using black as the base a nude khaki was then layered in jagged strokes from the top of the nail bed upwards creating a backwards french manicure. For added dimension, matte out the only the black section, creating a dual textured look full of disheveled luxury. Get the look with Yummy Mummy and your favorite black lacquer!
Erin Featherston is known for her signature girly meets industrial edge and this season she complimented flirty, feminine silhouettes with a soft metallic nail. Metallic nails mimic the look of jewelry so the nails served as the eye catching bling in lavender and silver tones. Recreate this with Butter London's Dodgy Barnett and Shag.
Band of Outsiders and The Row were all about the naked, minimalist nail. Squeaky clean nails aren't as easy to do as you think. It's like being naked and having your flaws on full display so make sure your nails beds are buffed, filed and properly cleaned underneath. Start by applying a base coat of the the Horsepower Nail Fertilizer to strengthen and then Butter London's Nail Foundation to create an even perfect foundation. Finish off with the Hardwear P.D Quick Topcoat or Matte Finish to leave nails minimalistically gorgeous!

Every season I look forward to seeing the latest fashion and beauty trends seen on the runways at Mercedes Benz New York Fashion Week.

T3 hair tools are well respected by hair professionals and customers alike so it's pretty easy to surmise that it's the go-to brand to create gorgeous hair at the shows. This was the case at the J.

We're gifting you this holiday season with the 'midas touch'! For the woman with a creative flair who loves to create beauty and make a statement then this is a look you're going to love. Incorporate some or all of the steps into your New Years Eve makeup routine for a glowing and gilded look that guarantees wow factor...For this look, the main focal point is going to be the eyes and there is no better product to put people under your spell then the Ellis Faas Eye Lights in E303. Much more than a highlighter or eyeshadow, it creates the illusion of metallic eyes by appearing moist and wet but is actually perfectly dry. Create even more depth by lining upper and lower lashes with the Kevyn Aucoin Eye Pencil Primatif and finishing off the eyes with the Ellis Faas Mascara. A staff favorite this mascara delivers big and full lashes like you've never seen before.
You can't go gold without complimenting it with a romantic glow and the Halo Gold Leaf Balm by Belmacz offers a subtle gold shine to inner corners of eyes and bridge of nose. Next, apply Butter London's West End Wonderland, in a densely pigmented gold all over the lip area for an instant luxe look and pair it up on the nails with Butter London's Full Monty Nail Lacquer.
The last thing we want when doing a strong shimmer makeup look is a shiny complexion so mattify the face with the Ellis Faas Powder to create a flawless and shine free canvas. Add the final note of dramatic flair by spritzing a few sprays of Evening Edged in Gold Eau de Parfum by Ineke. This opulent fragrance creates a sensual warmth with night scented flowers that is idea for any sparkling soirees. Read More »

It's no wonder Butter London gets invited back season after season by some of Americas most talented fashion designers to adorn the nails of the beautiful people as they strut the catwalks. Creating custom made polishes is what they're known for and occasionally some of these actually get made into retail polishes down the road (we hope)! Here are some of our favorite looks from Fashion Week…
La Perla is all about beautiful lingerie and bare skin so it was only fitting that dare to bare nails was this years nail theme. Perfect timing too because Butter London just released their Starkers Collection, a trio of bespoke nudes designed to match every skin tone for a very chic statement. The model below is wearing Tea & Toast!
The nails at the Dannijo were brooding, mysterious and seductive courtesy of Butter London's La Moss in vampy, wine infused red along with matching lips with the La Moss Lippy.
For those who love a great black nail like me, you'll love the look at Prabal Gurung. If not, think about embracing your moodier side and enjoy this fun play with textures by grabbing your favorite black nail lacquer, paint 2 coats and immediately follow with Butter London's Matte Finish Top Coat. Allow to dry and then with PD Quick Top Coat apply a thin line across the tip of the nail like you would with a french manicure. Voila - a play on matte & shiny!
From letf to right nails seen at La Perla, Dannijo and Prabal Gurung.

Happy Valentine's Day to our amazing staff and customers! On this very special loved up day we thought it would be fun to show you how to re-create one of our favorite nail looks using some of our favorite ever Butter London collections - Sweetie Shop! The Spring 2013 range instantly drew our attention with its adorably cute pastel shades reminiscent of all the sweet indulgences at the candy shop. To create the look below you will need Cuppa, Fiver, Molly-Coddled, Kerfuffle, Fruit Machine and Jasper.
Step 1: Have a bit of nail length before you attempt this look. File your nails into more of a rounded shape or if you're daring at more of a point is preferable as it needs to look somewhat like the bottom pointy tip of a heart.
Step 2: Apply your base coat. Next, grab Butter London's Cuppa nail lacquer and apply 2 x coats. It's imperative that you let this completely dry before proceeding to the next step. We waited about three hours in between Step 2 & 3.
Step 3: Using scotch tape cut out a stencil of the round part of a heart. You can try to attempt drawing the heart free hand if you have a steady hand. We found it was easiest to draw our shape with a pen (like a lowercase m) and then cut it out. Create a nail stencil for each nail as they are all different widths. Next, apply the tape about a third of the way on your nail bed.
Step 4: Choosing a pastel shade paint 1-2 thin coats over the nail and make sure it completely dries prior to removing the tape. Proceed to do the same thing on all the remaining fingers utilizing a different pastel shade.
Step 5: If you want to make it even more Valentin-ey find a red nail pen or use a toothpick and write XO on your ring or middle finger on each hand.
Step 6: Enjoy your adorable nails and the compliments you will get from everyone! Happy Valentines Day from the b-glowing team!

Acetone nail polish is not simpatico when it comes to nail health. This harsh smelling and highly flammable liquid may remove the most stubborn of nail lacquers with ease, however I always wonder what it's doing to my nails when the same liquid is capable of disintegrating even plastic.
If you're concerned about chemicals in beauty products and the overall health of your nails then you'll love Butter London's Royal Punch Acetone Free Nail Polish Remover. Exclusively sold at b-glowing, this coconut mango scented remover gently removes all traces of lacquer without using any nasty chemicals such as formaldehyde, toluene, bismuth and other nasties. Fresh and fruity, I love that this lacquer remover smells so tropical!

Our Make Beauty. Escape™ runner-up Cydrienne is loving her resort beauty prize pack featuring the 26 products we never travel without. She's been playing with them all but a few favorites have caught her attention from Clarisonic, Butter London, Vapour Organic Beauty and Kai. If you didn't get the chance to enter to win our luxury trip to Hawaii stay tuned as a new destination will be revealed in the next few months!
Butter London Nail Polish: "I'm really big on nail polish and absolutely loved that the package came with SIX colors from Butter London's Sweetie Shop Collection. The color I have on is Kerfuffle. This light pink is perfect for the start of spring and its subtleness pairs well with my outfits for work or play."
Clairsonic Surf Mia2: "I rarely use anything else besides soap and water to wash my face at night since I have sensitive skin so I was skeptical about using the Clairsonic. The first time I tried it, however, I found my skin feeling soft and extremely clean. The plus side is that my face didn't have any bad reactions to the Clairsonic cleanser. "
Kai Body Lotion: "I was born and raised in Hawaii so the Kai lotion smells exactly like the plumeria flowers that grow abundantly in Hawaii. It triggered happy memories of having a plumeria tucked behind my ear during a day at the beach or dancing hula wearing a lei of plumerias. Not only does it smell great, but it leaves my skin feeling hydrated and not oily like other lotions tend to do."
Vapour Organic Beauty Aura Multi-Use Blush: "I am a fan of make-up that is compact and easy to use so I definitely love the Vapour Blush stick. The color compliments my skin and the compact stick is perfect for when I am on the go and don't have time (or patience) to do my make-up at home."

Everyone needs a little help navigating the wealth of fantastic beauty products b-glowing has to offer and who better to give you some giftable suggestions then our b-glowing elf (or inventory manager) Kelsey! She has a classic, sophisticated taste and doesn't mind splurging on skincare when she knows the results are going to be worth it. Here are three of the items she has her eye on this Christmas:
Kels wants to keep her mane in tip-top shape with the help of a Popular Mason Pearson Brush. Although a brush isn't something she would necessarily buy for herself, if she did receive it she knows she would use it the rest of her life. Mason Pearson brushes are so well made they're designed to strengthen and protect the hair by transferring sebum from the root along the hair strand. This translates to healthy and shiny hair like you've never seen before.
Kelsey is always changing up nail lacquers and lipstick shades so she loves the 2-for-1 you get with Butter London's Lips & Tips. She has her eye on Yummy Mummy because both the medium beige lacquer and matching lippy are the perfect shade for anytime of year. Nude goes with any outfit so there's no need to switch up nail polishes if your outfit colors change up throughout the week.
If you're going to splurge you can't go wrong with a Clarisonic. Although Kels is in her mid 20's, it's never to early to start taking great care of your skin which is why she would love the Clarisonic Opal in Black! According to her, she needs to start 'ramping up my anti-aging regimen and under eye is the place to start!' The Opal is a delivery system that uses sonic infusion to penetrate into eye creases and infuse an age fighting sea serum to plump and refine the area.
Stay tuned for more staff picks to help make holiday shopping a little more helpful and fun!

You may have come across terms like 3-Free, 4-Free, or 5-Free in the past when shopping for nail polish. But what does that mean? b-glowing.com is here to give you the 411 on what your lacquer is leaving out!
3-Free: When you see 3-Free on a nail polish, it means it is made without the use of: Toluene, Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP), or Formaldehyde.
4-Free: When you see 5-Free on a nail polish, it means it is made without the use of: Toluene, Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP), Formaldehyde, or Camphor.
5-Free: When you see 5-Free on a nail polish, it means it is made without the use of: Toluene, Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP), Formaldehyde, Formaldehyde Resin, or Camphor.
What are these ingredients? Why are they used in the first place?
Toluene: Helps polish go on smoothly. Also found in gasoline, rubber cement, and shoe polish. Inhaling products containing toluene causes light-headedness, nausea and even unconsciousness and sometimes death. It's also linked to developmental damage for pregnant women.
Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP): Prevents your polish from chipping and cracking. Also found in adhesives, printing ink, and plastics. It's been designated a reproductive and developmental toxin.
Formaldehyde: Makes polish tough and resistant. Most commonly found in nail strengtheners, not polish. It's also directly linked to nasal sinus cancer and the development of leukemia.
Formaldehyde Resin: A less toxic version of formaldehyde, this ingredient is still considered a skin allergen that can cause dermatitis.
Camphor: Helps polish adhere to your nails. Also used as a moth repellent, used in the embalming process, and found in fireworks. While it is less hazardous than the "Toxic 3", it does cause skin irritation and is poisonous when ingested in large doses. Nail biters beware!
b-glowing.com is proud to carry a wide range of 3-Free, 4-Free, and 5-Free nail polish brands that we love. You will easily find bright, bold, beautiful colors that are long-lasting and SAFE! Here is a list, start shopping now!

Shop the LVX 2013 Summer Collection here.
For this week's 'Tips & Tricks' we're bringing you a fun and easy nail look, using shades from the vegan and 5-free LVX 2013 Summer Collection.
We love all six of these runway-inspired shades because they are unique, and will transition easily from summer to fall. For this fan brush manicure tutorial we chose to highlight a few of our personal favorites: Celeste, Deco, and Mynt. These colors together have a bright, tropical feel that is classic enough to wear out or to the office.
- 3 nail polish colors of your choice (Celeste, Deco, & Mynt shown)
- Fan brush (available at beauty or supply stores)
- Nail lacquer remover
- Palette for mixing polish (nonporous surface you don't mind putting polish on)
1. Always start with clean, buffed, and filed nails. In order to ensure a smooth application, remove excess cuticles and apply your favorite base coat. We used butter LONDON's Melt Away Cuticle Eliminator and Nail Foundation Flawless Basecoat.
2. Next, apply one even coat of Polish #1 (Celeste) to all ten nails. Because you are going to be designing on top of this color with your other two shades, you don't want too much polish build-up. One coat is sufficient for a mani like this, especially when using opaque colors.
3. Let your nails dry for at least 15 minutes before doing any designing. We let our nails dry for an hour to ensure the first layer was set.
4. Now that your nails are dry, you can start designing with the fan brush tool. Dab out a generous amount of Polish #2 (Deco) and Polish #3 (Mynt) onto your palette. Staff Tip: After a little experimenting we found it was easier to apply one color at a time, but if you feel like mixing, go for it!
5. Make sure your fan brush has enough space between the bristles to create a feathered effect. We suggest getting it wet before using in order to separate the bristles. Carefully dip the center bristles into Polish #2 (Deco), making sure to only pick up polish on the tips of the bristles. Next, gently drag the brush across your nail from one side to the other. We did horizontal lines, but vertical looks great too!
6. Repeat this step with your Polish #3 (Mynt). This is when you will truly see the wispy design begin to appear! Continue dipping and dragging until you achieve your desired design. Staff Tip: It is handy to keep a dish of nail lacquer remover to cleanse the brush of polish before re-dipping to avoid buildup. We used Deborah Lippmann The Stripper Lavender Nail Lacquer Remover.
7. Once all three layers have dried, make sure to finish-off the nails with a glossy top coat. You want all that work to last as long as possible! We used butter LONDON's Hardware PD Quick Topcoat to prevent chipping and protect our design.

You're guaranteed to find a variety of fun nail looks at the b-glowing.com office, regardless of season or trend. As we transition into fall, find out what tried-and-true polishes our pretties are rocking while working.
Katelyn: (Right hand) butter LONDON Wellies (Left hand) butter LONDON Slapper
The first to try a new trend or design, our Customer Service Director Katelyn couldn't choose between her two favorite greens, so she decided to use them both! "I thought they were similar enough in tone that I could wear them together without looking crazy! I love how it turned out."
Kayla: RGB Cosmetics Oxblood
Ready for summer to end, our Brand Assistant Kayla welcomes fall with a 5-free vampy wine shade. "With Fall quickly approaching, I wanted something new so I went from blonde to brunette with my hair and I wanted to play-up the dark on my nails as well!"
Holly: LACC 1957
Craving something neutral, but fun, our Brand Associate Holly reached for this vegan pale pink to give her nails a pop of color. "I wanted something sheer that allowed my natural nails to peek through. I love that you can layer 1957 to get the exact coverage you are looking for. It's like two polishes in one."
Nina: Deborah Lippman I Fought the Law, layered with Deborah Lippmann Va Va Voom
Working in our warehouse, Nina is one of the first people to see new product come in! You can always count on her to sport the latest and greatest in everything we carry. "I love how the gritty texture of 'I Fought the Law' grabs hold of the glitter topcoat, it helps the manicure last longer! I also love this color combo - the navy under the glitter looks like a galaxy of stars!"

Our Shadow Illusions mani is a super sleek and easy way to use this new collection to create a look with depth and a little mystery. These colors are great for fall, and add a vampy futuristic look to your nails.

How cool is that?

As per usual, Zooey Deschanel had some of the best nails on the red carpet at this year's Golden Globes, which gave us some serious nail inspiration. We loved the femininity and simplicity of her nails, plus the added glamour of the gold, so our resident nail artist got to work on a Zooey D-style mani.
Step 1: Apply Your Base
Always start with clean, buffed nails, and apply a base coat for mani longevity, and to protect your nails. We used a sheer beige/pink base to keep the nail look natural and clean. For this we used Tenoverten's Houston. Two coats will do just fine, and don't worry about slight transparency.
Step 2: Dots
Once the base color dried for about 5 minutes, we added our gold dots for the centers of the daisies. The tip of the polish brush is quite perfect for making the small, slightly raised dots. Just a few dabs on the nail with the brush will give the desired effect. Make sure to spread them out so you have room to paint the petals of the daisies.
For this we used Lushington, new from butter LONDON's Boho Rock Collection. Zooey's manicure has bigger and fewer daises, but we opted for a smaller flower. The choice is yours! These will take longer to completely dry, but after a few minutes you can move on to your next step.
Step 3: Petals
To create the petals we used a small pointed nail brush. For those of you without these tools around, a steady hand and the tip of a bobby pin will work, too. We chose a light blue, instead of white, just to add a pop of color; we used Blue Orchid from Deborah Lippmann's spring 2014 line.
The easiest way to dip your brush into the polish is to pour a small amount onto a dish. Starting from the gold dot, lightly drag the brush with your petal polish outward. Try to keep them the same length, and don't crowd too many petals on one dot. Your brush will start to accumulate polish, so be sure to wipe the brush periodically.
Step 4: Gloss
Give your mani sufficient time to dry before applying your top coat—a good 15 minutes, just to be safe. Once dry, apply a top coat of your choice to seal the look and create a high shine. Now you, too, have sweet and sophisticated red carpet nails!
We want to see your red carpet looks! Follow us on Instagram and Facebook and tag #awardshowglow on your hair, nail, and makeup pics.Read More »

Gold Flake Blotting Papers-TATCHA Aburatorigami

Your makeup will last longer, courtesy of this powder and prime alternative, so you can look fresh even if you don't quite feel it.

For the blondes (or the brunettes with highlights) this shampoo glorifies beautiful blonde hair, so take home the glory! Blonde pigments enhance hair color as a refresher and aid in the prevention of color fading. While it works great for natural or color-treated hair, it's not recommended for pale or platinum blondes unless golden tones are desired.

This easy-to-apply eye shadow feels as great going on as it looks after application. The sheer formula goes on smooth and is easily layered for deeper intensity, allowing you to create your own customized look. The shadow is soft and velvety, easy to blend and does not crease.

Video:How to Make a Military Bed With Hospital Cornerswith Sgt. Shane Medders
A cornerstone of basic training doesn't have to do with drills and weapons - but with your bed. Watch as a drill sergeant demonstrates how to make a military bed with the proper forty-five degree hospital corners.See Transcript
Transcript:How to Make a Military Bed With Hospital CornersMy name is Army Sgt. Shane Medders, and I am stationed in Fort Knox Kentucky as a drill sergeant. For About.com, today we will be showing you how to make a military rack the way we do in the army.
Why Make a Military Bed?Making a military rack is used mainly for uniformity purposes. To make sure that everyone is in-line together, all the same, and for purposes of cleanliness. The army is renowned for their rack making. They are famous for the hospital corners, and today we will show you how to do that step by step.
Make Hospital CornersThe first step is to take one sheet and place it on the rack so that it is flat from side to side. You want to line up the edge of the sheet with the bottom end of the mattress. Make sure the overhang on each side is equal. Next you want to kneel down by the head end of the mattress and you want to tuck the sheet up under so that it is flush.
Next you want to go to one side, at the head end of the mattress, and you want to start doing the forty-five degree corner. You do that by lifting the bottom edge of the sheet, pulling it back, so as to have the over-hand pulled tightly and then tucked up underneath the rack. Next you will fold the excess hanging down over, forming the forty-five degree angle. You will place your hand so as to make it smooth, and then you will tuck the excess up underneath the rack. You always want to make sure you smooth out the sheets. You continue tucking the excess part of the sheet all the way down to the foot end of the rack. Next you will go to the other side and proceeded in the same manner as you did the first time.
Add the Top Sheet to the Military RackNext you want to take the second sheet and you want to place it on the rack the same as the first time. This time you want to align the sheet with the head-end of the mattress, making sure that the overhang is equal on both sides.
Add the Blanket to the Military BedNext step is to take the first green blanket and place it on the rack. Keep in mind that it has US stamped on it for United States. This should be readable when standing at the foot end of the mattress. Place the blanket on the rack as the same way you would the sheet, making sure there is equal overhang on both sides of the rack. You want to align the top of the blanket approximately twelve inches from the head end of the mattress.
Fold Hospital Corners With the BlanketNext you will start tucking the blanket in along with the sheet. Making sure everything is smooth. Again the forty-five degree corner is attained by folding the excess blanket, tucking it smooth up underneath, placing your hand there, and then bringing the excess part of the blanket all the way down, and it will form the forty five degrees. You will smooth it out with your hand, and then you will just tuck the excess blanket and sheet around the mattress. Continue to use your hands to smooth out the blanket all across the mattress. Next you will go to the other side of the rack and you will do the hospital corners in the same manner as you did on the previous side.
Add the Pillow to the Military BedThe next step is to place the pillow on the rack. Make sure you smooth out the pillow so it is flat. You will notice it has excess overhang of the pillow case. When you place it on there make sure to tuck it up underneath so it is not to hang freely. The next step is to take the dust cover and place it equally on both sides onto the mattress. Make sure that the single fold of the blanket is down towards the foot end of the mattress. As always make sure the overhang is equal on both sides. Adjust it as necessary.
Finish the Military BedThe next step is to take the overhang of the dust cover and tuck t up underneath the mattress on the head end. Continue making the hospital corners as shown before. The last step is to make sure there are no wrinkles in the dust cover, in the blanket or any of the sheets, and also check your hospital corners on the foot end and head end of the mattress.
And that is how to properly make a military rack. Thanks for watching.

Good luck!
True Yeast Bread/Pizza Crust – Adapted from Bette Hagman's Gluten Free Gourmet
3 C. gluten-free flour mix
1/4 c. sugar
3 1/2 tsp. Xanthan gum
1 1/2 tsp. Salt
1 1/2 Tbs. yeast
1/4 c. oil
1 3/4 c. water (Not too hot, or you'll kill the yeast. You want it to be about baby bath temperature.)
1 tsp. Rice vinegar
3 eggs
Mix flour mix, sugar, xanthan gum, and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer. Dump yeast on top, but don't mix it in. Combine warm water, oil, and vinegar. Pour directly on top of the yeast and let sit for 5 minutes or so. (The yeast should bubble and foam a bit.) Turn the mixer on low, and mix well. Mixture should be slightly warm. Add the eggs, then beat on high speed for 5 minutes. Turn oven to 375 degrees.
For Bread: Spray pans well with Pam. Spoon into pans (or English Muffin rings), and let rise on oven as it heats (about 20 minutes). Bake loaf pan for about 35 minutes. Bake muffin rings about 20 minutes.
For Pizza: Spray 2 13x18 jelly roll pans with Pam. Place half of the dough on each pan. Spray the top of the dough with Pam, and press the dough flat in the pan. (Or just wet your hands with water to spread it.) You don't have to let it raise. Bake about 10 minutes (til top is golden brown). Remove from oven. Top with sauce, cheese, and toppings. Return to oven and bake until cheese is melted – about 15 minutes. (For thicker crusts, use smaller pans.)

traditional pizza crust:
1 1/2 cups rice flour
1 cup tapioca flour
1/2 cup potato starch flour
1 tablespoon xanthan gum
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. unflavored gelatin
1 package dry yeast (2 1/4 tsp)
1 cup water
2 tablespoons cooking oil
1 tsp vinegar
1 large egg
combine dry ingredients in large bowl
heat water to 120-130 (i used it hot out of the tap)
add oil to the water
with mixer on low, slowly add water and oil to the dry ingredients
then add vinegar, followed by egg
beat on high for 3 minutes
i spread it out on a piece of waxed paper on a cookie sheet. i sprayed the paper with pam spray, and used a rolling pin to roll it to the edges. i used a little rice flour to keep the rolling pin from sticking.
bake the crust at 425 degrees for 8 minutes and then add toppings and cook for another 15-20 minutes.
i was so excited when we made this crust---i could eat the pizza slices with my hands!!

I had a great recipe but lost it and now I can not find it. I found a gluten-free one online last night and used it....IT WAS HORRIBLE lol.
If anyone has a good recipe they wouldn't mind sharing I'd appreciate it.
There is a pizza place in Arizona called Picazzo's pizza (I've had their pizza and it it AMAZING) They use Tom Sawyer Gluten free flour and I found the recipe for the pizza crust on their website (The Tom Sawyer website)
Gluten Free Pizza Crust
All ingredients should be at room temperature. Recipe is for one 12-13 inch pizza.
If a thinner crust is desired, the extra dough may be used for bread sticks or a larger pizza. NOTE: Read all labels to insure all ingredients are gluten free.
Yeast Preparation; place in small mixing bowl
2 tsp. - Sugar
¼ cup + 3 Tbsp. - Warm water (100-105 deg F)
1 pkg - Rapid rise dry yeast (gluten free)
Combine sugar and water, then sprinkle yeast on top. Mix well. Set aside. Mixture should develop nice foam on top.
Dry Ingredients; place in medium size mixing bowl
1 ¾ cup - Tom Sawyer gluten free flour
1 tsp. - Italian seasoning (adds flavor but is optional)
½ tsp. - Salt
2 Tbsp. - Dry low fat powdered milk
1½ tsp. - Baking Powder (gluten free)
Blend dry ingredients well
Wet Ingredients; place in medium mixing bowl
2 tbsp. - Olive oil
½ cup - Refrigerated egg product (recommend Egg Beaters)
1 tsp. - Vinegar (gluten free – rice, apple, or wine)
Add yeast preparation and mix well
Pour wet ingredients slowly into dry ingredients while mixing well. Blend until dough develops a sheen and is very soft and sticky. It may be necessary to add extra flour or water to develop the proper consistency. If necessary, add flour or water 1 T at a time to achieve this consistency. Gluten free flour requires slightly more liquid to allow the yeast to rise. If the dough is too dry, a rise cannot be obtained and will be thin and tough. If the dough is too moist, the rise will collapse during the rise. Note: at this point the dough may be refrigerated or frozen for future use.
Place dough on greased and gluten free floured pizza sheet, cover with plastic wrap and press dough out, under the wrap, to achieve a thickness of about ¼ inch and with a rim crust as desired. Let stand in warm place for 10 minutes or more then add sauce and toppings as desired. Place the pizza in preheated hot oven at approximately 450 to 500 degrees (F) and bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until done.
