Nail Art 2010: Minx, Nfu-Oh, Airbrushing, Gel, stickers, and more !
It started off with trying to do one nail design myself and then went to a full fledged hand of zebra printed nails.. I've become a nail polish addict.....I knew this because the simple bright red that I usually wore was just not doing it for me anymore. I needed something newer, cooler, and exciting. I had professional MINX put on, but the tips really annoyed me. I also bought the DIY Minx from Sephora, but those only last so long. I knew what I had to do, go on quest to find new [...]
Bianca’s Beautiful L.A. “After shower power hour”
After ive come out of my shower routine all scrubbed and clean- i like to spend a sufficient amount of effort on the equally important portion of my "getting pretty time" slathering on my selected concoctions that promise to keep me looking eternally young, cancer free and smelling great! After the towel dry- i start with my face products. The first thing i apply is my pigment gel- (PCA skin). Pigment gel is a good base under my moisturizer- helps make absorption better- so it makes me [...]
Bianca’s Beautiful LA: Hour of Shower
Everybody is always asking me what my secret is to staying youthful- my response is always the same- you are young as long as you choose youth...maturity, in my book, is overrated- mature fruit is gross- although...movies for mature audiences...well now- that's when being mature comes in handy...Im 36- and i feel like ive been around for 136 years...my family has all gotten the same questioning about their youthful skin- so im going to assume im pretty damn lucky in that department- although [...]

D.I.Y. Chic Prints Sephora/OPI Minx Mani
The Minx manicure (above) is what started my whole diy nail insanity! You know Minx, worn by avid fans such as Katy Perry, Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Eve, Megan Fox, Mariah Carrey, Blake Lively, Fergie, etc.... A few weeks ago, I went to Extremedy's nail salon, in West Hollywood, for a professional Minx mani. While I was happy with the results, I knew I could do the same thing myself - Cut to a few days later when I randomly go into Sephora and see that they teamed up with Minx and Opi to [...]

L.A.’s Newest Barber
via Michael Williams' blog "A Contnuouys Lean" When I was in L.A. a few weeks ago I stopped by to see the gents from Baxer of California at their then unfinished barber shop on LaCienega.

The Lipstick Diaries ~ Tom Ford + Lime Crime
Lipstick. Red lipstick. These are two words that are very close to my heart, as I wear red lipstick every time I leave the house. Those of you who know me, know that my lips and nails are always red; It's just a part of me. I don't like to wear makeup during the day if I don't have to and applying a bit of M.A.C. Red always does the trick of making me look like I'm alive and awake. Because I have blond hair, blue eyes, and am really pale, the red just seems to make all of the colors [...]

Though we've been dying since the 8th grade, we have noticed a heap of purple, pink, blue, green and even gray hair on the pages of magazines, Fashion Week runways and front rows, and at all the best parties in town. *(It's like the new "shaving one side of your head" - thank you Alice Dellal for that freakish trend, we love your brother's girlfriend!). Valentino boldly featured a purple-haired model for their ads in the Feb '10 issue of Vogue. Vena Cava added simple streak of dye to the [...]
Facial Calligraphy: Fashion Week Face Paint
Pic from Just Jared Pics from Style.com pic from Cobrasnake This week at New York Fashion Week, designers brought our their new wears for fall.

Paris Couture week: Channel you inner Chanel
January 26th, 2010 Erm.. This is very hard for me, because as some of you know, Chanel is my #1 or #2 favorite design house in the entire world. I have been waiting months for this show, and I was less than impressed. I am aware that these clothes took hours/ weeks to make, but they are lacking the overall “couture” look. My mother told me if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all. I do have a few nice things to say, so I will just stick with those One of [...]
