Love Letter from Paris

Nikol — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 17:28:28 +0000

I found this beautiful necklace on http://www.aretedesigns.com it’s amazing how having a necklace all about love, love letters (which is so rare now) and my favorite city Paris can do for your day. When you are having the not so fab day as in traffic, too much work, out of espresso pods you look down and are reminded that love is all around you, you just have to take a moment out of your day and remember that life is full of possibilities.

With Love,

I am loving this color from Essie www.essie.com called Macks (I know you have never heard that before from me). It’s the perfect color for that sexy Saturday night date where you play out the whole night when on the Stairmaster the week before. Your hands never looked so good picking up a martini glass and slowly bringing it to your lips making sure that your amazing nails are in full view. It’s a bad ass color for a bad ass girl.

A Chic new look at nails

You girls know how obsessed I am with polish colors, I change mine every 4 days depending on my mood. This look is called The Ombre look I think it’s chic and different. I am not a huge fan of crystals or nail art so this look takes it up a notch by keeping it high fashion/runway but not tacky. I think it’s a great look for “date night” or your next trip to New York City. It’s all about changing it up, putting your personality into your nails and making a statement.

Not Now

Nikol — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 17:34:38 +0000

This is my all time favorite Essie nail polish “Not Now” www.essie.com it is a coraly/red color that makes you feel like you are on the island of Capri, sitting on a yacht with a kir royale in hand; dreaming of sexy masculine French men in what ever that is they call swim trunks. When smoking was chic and there were no reprecussions for inhaling poison ohhh the days……..This color is vintage not available through Essie anymore but you can always check discontinued cosmetic sites for this delicious color.

Living in Paris

As I sat watching Julie & Julia this past weekend I dreamed of booking my ticket to Paris and just roaming around the most romantic city in the world with fresh flowers and a freshly baked baguette. I saw myself sitting at a cafe where drinking wine at any hour is acceptable and encouraged while composing deep passionate poetry. I could watch Julie & Julia over and over again Meryl Streep did an amazing job playing Julia Child, it was so inspiring to see how Julia was a very driven, dedicated and passionate women. I am off to dream more about Paris………..

Its all about Chocolate Kisses

Nikol — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 04:05:26 +0000

As you know I am a HUGE lover of Essie nail polish www.essie.com This week I am rocking on my nails and toes ”Chocolate Kisses” its a rich decadent chocolate color (I am not the best polisher so don’t look super close). I picked out of our boutique this morning our “Chocolate Kisses” sugar scrub made by our sister company Bubbles and Beauties www.bubblesandbeauties.com it combines 3 different sugars, grape seed oil, apricot seed oil and a rich chocolate indulgence scent. Like our saying on our sugar scrub “You can never say No to a kiss”.

Xtreme gets some Seoul

Bella is one of our exotic beauties from Seoul, Korea she was back in the studio today for a full set of Xtreme Lashes www.xtremelashes.com Bella has a Big birthday right around the corner and wants to look gorgeous. I used C-curls in black ranging from 8mm to 12mm to give her a gradual increase in length without being too long. You can see the before and after shots below of her lashes.

It’s important to go to a certified lash stylist that can look at your eye shape and understand what lengths will be the best choice for you based on your lash health, lifestyle, the look you want to achieve and style. You never want to jeopardize the health of your natural lashes with the wrong type of glue or damaging lash application. Make sure you do your research when looking for a lash stylist. A great resource is the Xtreme Lash directory, on the site you can find a certified lash stylist in your city or country.

Exotic Beauty goes Xtreme

Nikol — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 03:40:10 +0000

My client today was Joi an amazing beauty that is both Thai and American, if you remember she was one of FBS’s 2008 brides at The Breakers in Palm Beach. Joi is just that a pure joy to work with. Joi is beautiful, gracious and so sweet, Joi and I share a love of everything pink so each time she comes into the studio we share all of our pink obsessions.

The look I gave Joi today for her Xtreme Lashes www.xtremelashes.com was a full and modern look. Joi loves her lashes super full and noticeable; this was her second full set with FBS so we designed her lashes to be for everyday wear but with a full lush look. She has over 60 lashes on each eye with lengths ranging from 9mm to 12mm. Joi knows that she will get a custom design Xtreme lash for her unique eye shape when she comes to Fresh Beauty Studio, each client is different and I want every client to walk out with their own signature style.

I am obsessed with Essie nail polishes www.essie.com. I can’t get enough of their new colors or my favorite colors that seem to change each week. I was inspired to paint my nails this “pop” of pink for the month of February since February is all about love, pink, hearts and fantasy. The color is called “Mod Squad” it’s not a new color but a staple in my Essie collection. One of my girlfriends and I basically talk in code when asking each other what color we should wear to an event. Our conversation goes something like “What do you think? “Cluch me if you can” or “Sole Mate”?” we know exactly what we are talking about but to an outsider I am sure it sounds very strange. I just ordered 6 new delicious polishes from Essie the other day. I will be doing a review on my YouTube channel www.youtube.com/freshbeautystudio this month so stay tuned.
