The Obsession

Can you spend an hour or more in beauty supply stores?  Do you have multiple subscriptions to or can't help but pick up the latest hair magazine?  Is your 'under the sink' storage area so full that you have a special product area for your impulse purchases?  It's offiicial - you're obsessed.

The Attitude

All Tressed Up is more than the name of a website, it's an attitude.  Ask anyone - when you look good you do for the most part, feel good.  This website gives the everyday woman and/or man the opportunity to share just how wonderful you are!  Are you All Tressed Up today?

The Natural Nail

There are a number of nail trends out there, some are not the best when it comes to caring for your natural nail.  Why not take care of your nails instead of having and acrylic replica of a healthy nail?

Brought to you by our Resident Natural Nail Expert, Angel Williams, this section focuses on the beauty and versatility of the natural nail.

 



Onward and Upward: Angel Williams

Well, it has been awhile hasn't it?!  I know...I know...but I am going to pick right up where I left off.  This news has been tickling my heart just waiting to pour out virtually.  I am so happy to share this news with you!  Guess what?!  Ready?

Now, this news comes at a time where this grand city is recuperating from the aftermath of Sandy.  Prayers up to those who have been negatively impacted.  Our Angel Williams is now a New Yorker!

After closing her hand and foot spa in Richmond, Virginia she decided to move on up to New York!  I am so proud of and happy for her! Now, that we're dealing with an industry insider, I just had to share the news Interview-style:

ATU: What prompted the move to NYC?
AW: Well after about 8+ years of salon ownership, I kind of got burnt out of doing nails behind the chair.  I made the decision to take my career to the next level with the help of Crystal Wright and the Hair Makeup & Fashion Styling Career Guide.  When I was asked to do nails on set for the first time I was nervous, but while executing the job I immediately knew that this was that "next level" and I caught the bug to see my work in print. 

New York is where a lot of print magic takes place.  I've spent the past year and a half going back and forth between Virginia and New York to build my portfolio and I've accomplished some great things in a short period of time, Harper's Bazaar Singapore being my first cover.  Along the way I've created some great relationships and worked on some great projects so I think moving was just a natural progression to where I want things to go.

Fly Nails

E-mail Print PDF

Having a 3-hour layover in Chicago’s airport sure can solve a nail girl’s writers block.  I wasn’t happy with my color choice and being the nail nerd that I am, all I could think of was “ I wish I had my nail stuff”.  That one thought gave me an article idea and made me think that perhaps I need to update my travel nail kit.  So here is a list of a few things I found to be easy to use, small in size and  most importantly flight friendly.

Files
Crystal nail files are actually the healthiest file to use when caring for your nails, but because they contain no metal elements, more than likely they won’t set off any detectors.  But just to avoid the cranky TSA person of the day, I would invest in a rounded edge vs a pointed edge file.

E-mail Print PDF

Nails Inc. (an across the pond favorite) Neon & Nudes and Essie’s Navigate Her collections both put a great package together for this new Spring/Summer 2012 seasonal trend.  Bold brights on the toes and nice clean neutrals on the fingers.

Reflect & Refresh, Its Spring Time!

E-mail Print PDF

It’s Spring time! I think.  Mother Nature was throwing out random summer like days back in February, but I think we're all on the same page now.  And by page, I mean Spring.  The time of year when we should reflect and refresh.

Let’s start with a little reflection.  Around this same time last year I was off to San Diego, attending Bootcamp to become a CND Shellac Education Ambassador for the Virginia area.  And now with a couple of classes taught under my belt, I am proud to say that I am still in it to win it.

Word is out that Pantone’s (the authority on color for design and fashion professionals for over 50 years) Spring 2012 color palette is to be bright and vibrant with a splash of neutrality.

Over the next few weeks,  I will be providing you with polish recommendations that cover the full spectrum of Pantone’s predictions.

Burt's Bees: Extra Energizing Citrus & Ginger Root Body Bar

Now, this was a pleasant treat.  When I can't make it to Trader Joe's for my usual goodness, I hop on over to my local grocer and check out the natural section.  On this particular day I stumbled upon this body bar.

Fragrance

Lovely! Citrus has a reputation of heightening one's mood.  This is a great treat in the morning.
