Products for Dancers Hair. Hair products for ponytails and pulled back styles.

One thing that I hate about sports like dance is that they are way to set on body type, shape, your looks, your age, your height, your outfit, etc… and unfortunately, skill and skill sets take second or are about the same amount of importance to the people who everyone thinks you need to impress.  Although having a lean figure is important to be able to show off the lines and positions and your grace while dancing, at the same time there are a ton of larger women who can dance and are just as good, but never get the roles.  There are also a lot of other women who are amazingly talented but since there is a the pretty popular girl next to her or a girl that can afford better beauty products or have a stylist who can recommend the right products to use, she may get the job because her hair and skin and nails may be in better condition.  So in order to help level the playing field for dancers everywhere, I wanted to recommend a few products that may help you to not only increase your appearance from a stage to the audience, but also help you win the judges over so they focus on your ability to dance (which is the most important thing) and since they see you have gorgeous skin and hair and nails, they won’t focus on that.  Once your hair, etc… look amazing, your skill and your talent will help you get the roles you want in the show.  Everyone should be judged on their talent, but because that isn’t always the case, here are some products to look at using.

MoroccanOil Oil Treatment – This oil treatment is one that almost everyone in our office has used and we all love it.  It not only helps you to have shinier and silkier hair, but it will help to repair damage done by a straightening iron for your hair to be pulled in a bun or in a pony tail or however you style it for dancing, but it will also help your hair look and appear more healthy and manageable.  MoroccanOil is a seriously amazing product for dancer hairstyles.  This is a product you have to have if you want good hair for the judges and for the show.  Buy MoroccanOil and you will see the difference almost immediately.

Holy Mud Masks and Dermalogica Acne Treatments – Skin is seriously important and everyone is going to notice skin that has blemishes and that is not moisturized or healthy.  It is important to use masks like the holy mud pumpkin exfoliating masks and the deep cleaning toning mask like the Dead Sea Mud Mask and also use an acne product like the Dermalogica acne treatment so that your skin is clean and new, then use a moisturizer or moisturizing mask like the oat and honey mask to nourish and moisturize your skin.  Having good skin will definitely help your chances of landing a better role in your show.

The last thing to remember is to not use makeup or nail polish that stands out.  You want a nail polish that blends in or is a neutral color so the judges and the people in the audience actually watch you dance and not your hands getting in the way.  Your hands are as important as your arms and legs and if you have a color that stands out, it will take away from what you are doing with your body.  Keep your nails with a neutral color and your dancing will show itself off even more and you will look a million times better. Barefoot in Barcelona is a perfect color for this.  Or use a tan or pink color for your nails.

Anyways, it is absolutely horrible that dancers have to not only dance well but also get judged on appearance, but with the products above and taking a bit of time each day, everyone can compete on all levels and if you use the products in this post, you may begin to get a step up and small advantage over the people who have not found this post.  Dancing is amazing so focus on getting better and let these products work on the rest.  You will not only feel better by using products that can help you look better, but you’ll have an advantage over the other girls when you are auditioning for a role and have an advantage when performing since the audience will have a better chance of noticing your hair and then watching you.   Proper hair, skin and nail care is key to dancers getting roles in shows and key to moving forward in life.  Pick the products that work for you and then work on your skills.

candy corn nail designs for the fall

  • Posted on October 13, 2009 at 5:51 pm

Ok, so a really easy to do design for your nails for the fall which works through thanksgiving is perfect for both adults and kids.  It is candy corn nails and the best part is, you don’t even have to be good with painting to do them.  There are a few different designs you can do for candycorn nails and each one gets a little more difficult but at the same time, all of these are seriously easy to do and are great designs for the fall holidays.

Candy Corn Nail Design 1.

Take a piece of paper that is sticky on one side like a sticker or name tag or even just labels for your office.  Cut them into three long strips that cover one third of your nail.

Then paint your nails completely white.

now, when the white nail polish dries, take one of the strips and lay it across the middle of your nail and do this on each nail.

Then take the orange nail polish and paint a stripe across the bottom of your nail.

Then take the yellow and paint a stripe across the top.

You can also do the base yellow and do white at the top and orange at the bottom so you get three even sections on your nails which now look like candy corn.  Candy corn nails are seriously easy to do.

Candy Corn Nails design number 2.

Take the sticker paper or labels and cut them into squares or shapes that cover your entire nail.  Then cut out a small triangle with a rounded top on them or use a hole puncher shaped like candy corn. Then cut a very long strip and make sure it covers 1/3 of the hole that you cut out shaped like candy corn.

Then paint your nail a dark brown color or any other dark fall nail polish color or even some lighter colors.

Now, place the candy corn shaped pattern over your nails.

Now, paint the entire candy corn shape white.

Now, when that dries, place the thin strip across the middle of the pattern and then panint the orange and yellow nail polish across the top and the bottom of the pattern to make the candy corn shape.

When it dries, remove the patterns and you now have candy corn shapes and colors on your nails.

Candy Corn Nail designs are fun for everyone and a really fun design for fall.   They are also easy to do and fun for you to do with your family.  Something you could also do is paint candy corn nails on most of your fingers and then make one a big candy corn nail design with the others being design number 2.  I love this design and think that you will too if you want a really fun nail polish design for the fall holidays.  You can also buy all of these colors and more here at Hair Care Discounters on sale.

Top Ten Nail Polish Colors for Fall So Far!

  • Posted on October 7, 2009 at 6:46 pm

So I am loving all of the fall nail polish colors.  Just like we thought there are a ton of darker colors and rich colors going out like crazy, however I have seen a bunch of random colors popping up and old colors making a come back this fall season, so I wanted to do a list of what I am seeing people wearing, combined with people searching and new colors that people are just finding and listing them for a new top ten nail polish colors for fall list.   I know we did one earlier this year,,,well a couple months ago I think, but it never hurts to update the list or do a new one when the season actually hits.

So here are the top ten nail polish colors for Fall 2009:

10.  OPI Pretty and Privileged.  From the famous 90210 and sure to hit the classics collection, OPI Pretty and Privileged makes our top ten list in the number ten spot.  Not only is it a nice and calm autumn color, but it also works amazingly well for thanksgiving nail polish colors and just after Halloween when the leaves have changed and pumpkin is seriously in season…well pumpkin pie and pumpkin breads at least.  OPI Pretty and Privileged is an all seasons color but especially perfect for fall.

9.  OPI Queen of West Web-erly.  The sister to the OPI Pretty and Privileged, OPI Queen of West Web-erly is also from the 90210 collection and more than likely will make the classics collection.  This is another rich and calming color and works great with dark autumn colors and browns or even some yellows and reds.  A perfect blend in color, OPI Queen of West Web-erly is a great nail polish color for fall.

8.  OPI La Paz-itively Hot.  This one took me off guard.  It was huge this summer and people were having trouble keeping it in stock.  When I saw the trend continue into fall I was completely shocked.  Then again, it is being used for hot fall styles like french manicures (They are back for fall again with the pink and white or off white colors on top) and painted nails as well as for base colors under nail art and 3d nail designs.  OPI La Paz-itively hot is above and beyond one of the biggest colors out there and made our list for the top fal nail polish colors.

7.  OPI Barefoot in Barcelona.  I knew that some of the OPI Espana Collection would make it to the top ten list and the first color that hit the top ten list is OPI Barefoot in Barcelona.  Not only can it be used for leaves and other painted nail designs, but it also looks fabulous as a solid color on its own.  I love the OPI Barefoot in Barcelona and think it is a perfect color for fall.

6.  OPI Russian Navy.  Ok, this was was weird to see for fall.  These blue colors usually don’t make a big hit until winter, however with Halloween coming up fast, OPI Russian Navy does make sense since it works amazingly well as a solid color for halloween costumes or even for a formal event, but for non Halloween wear it makes a perfect color for painted nails and even some solid colors with formal wear.  Somehow it got on our Top Ten List and OPI Russian Navy does work great for early and late fall…I’d hold off on it during thanksgiving though.

5.  OPI Boris and Natasha.  A classic color from OPI, Boris and Natasha is an amazingly fun purple nail polish color that makes a great fall accent to painted nails, for nail art, for aolid colored nails if you just want something simple and fun and is a completely versatile color that looks great with most skin colors and types.  OPI Boris and Natasha is our number 5 pick for the best fall nail polish colors.

4.  OPI Hey! Get in Lime!.  Is going crazy this fall.  OPI Hey Get in Lime is an amazing and gorgeous mint green colored nail polish and a perfect polish for fall.  Not only does it work great after summer but it also matches most fall colors and works amazingly well for winter so it lasts well among all fall weathers, outfits and styles.  OPI Hey! Get in Lime is an amazing pick for fall and I love this color and know that you will to.

3.  OPI Brisbane Bronze.  OPI Brisbane Bronze is completelty a fall color.  Not only is vintage clothing, hair, make up and nails back in, but the vintage metal colors are completely back in full force and since the OPI Brisbane Bronze is an amazing and gorgeous metal color, well duh it is called bronze, it completely went from nowhere to the number 3 spot in the best nail polish colors for fall.

2.  OPI Here Today Aragon Tomorrow.  I love this color.  The OPI Here Today Aragon Tomorrow is by far my favorite color from the OPI Espana Collection and because vintage is back in full force this fall, this amazing green nail polish went from being brand new to being a best seller.  I love OPI Here Today Aragon Tomorrow and if you still haven’t bought this color, you need to click the link to the left and try it out.  It seriously is probably the best color for fall,,,,since it is still new it didn’t have a fair shot at being in the number one spot, but hey number 2 isn’t bad either.

1.  OPI Venus Di Violet.  This one came as a complete shock to me.  OPI Venus Di Violet was the number one nail polish for fall this year.   I used Google, Amazon, our Search, as well as other reviews and review sites to get the information and somehow this color made it to the top of the list.  Then it started to explain why OPI Venus Di Violet made it.  If you look at all of the fashion blogs out there and all of the beauty blogs, you will see vintage is huge right now and with vintage clothing comes vintage hair and vintage nails and for vintage nails you need colors that can accent and become vintage and that is exactly what OPI Venus Di Violet is and does.  Not only does it help to make french manicures vintage by being the top color, but it matches hippy clothing and hair, it matches sock hop colors, it works well for antique painted flowers and other designs and can even be worn as a vintage color for a modern twist on a bob or flapper girl style.  OPI Venus Di Violet made a comeback and snuck its way to the top of the list as the best fall nail polish color for 2009 and after really thinking about everything going on with fashion…it actually does make send that OPI Venus Di Violet could actually be the top color for fall 2009.

I love this list and if you want to have nails that are not only fashionable and in season, then you need to look through the colors and buy them from Hair Care Discounters by clicking on the links to the left of the post in the top ten best nail polish colors for fall.

OPI La Paz-itively Hot

OPI  La Paz-itively Hot is above and beyond one of the most popular colors ever created by OPI Nail Polish.  Not only is it one of the most searched for on Google and by nail artists, but it is one of the most popular nail colors created,,,,but why do soo many people love this color of nail polish.

Well, to start,you know my feeling on pink nail polishes…I am against most of them, especially as base coats.  Mainly because they have been overdone a million times and there are so many other fabulous and amazing colors out there that you don’t need pinks,,,,however this one is different.  It works in a million different ways and is one you cannot live without.  Especially if you do your own nail art.

You can use this one to create the flowers and roses that you see in a ton of designs and you can also use it for a base when using gold bullion nail beads in your design to look amazing.  It looks perfect with green for 3d nail art and is also works well for hand painted designs and for airbrushing too.  The color just works with reds, greens, yellows, oranges, blues if you are doing a design with a dark blue base,  most purples and especially light purples and lavendars or pruple blues for spring and summer designs…well summer is more of the reds with this painted over it.   You can use this color to do your french manicure and even use it as a solid color for pedicures.  It actually does look amazing on toe nails and works with pale skin to the darkest of tones for people of all colors.   This is just one nail polish that you can always find a way to make work….you may just have to use it in a design or a blend or painting or in nail art to find the perfect fit for you and your nails and skin tones. OPI La Paz-itively Hot is above and beyond one of the best nail polishes that is out there and available and you can find OPI La Paz-itviley Hot on sale for just $5.75 today at Hair Care Discounters and start to see why this is one of the most popular and best sellin nail polish colors ever from OPI.  I love La Paz-itively hot from OPI and know that you will too and for just $5.75 today, what do you have to loose by not trying it.

OPI French Bordeaux on Sale – OPI French Bordeaux

  • Posted on September 23, 2009 at 8:59 pm
OPI French Bordeaux

OPI French Bordeaux

You all know that I am not one for pink nail polishes normally, but when looking at a ton of nail art lately I have really started to fall in love with some of the pink colors, especially from the OPI Colorcopia collection.  One in particular that stands out to me is the OPI French Bordeaux color that doesn’t really match a wine color all that much but it does have a gorgeous and amazing deep pink that comes off matte and can work amazingly well as a base color for a ton of nail art designs for all seasons and styles and it can also work as its own base color if you just want or need a mature and everyday wear matte colored pink nail polish.

Not only can you wear this color perfectly for an every day wear, but it is matte enough to go to work in and even perfect for stay at home moms that have to run their every day errands.  Something that many women like about this color is that it is not only pleasent to look at, but it isn’t over bearing or over powering so it is more of a happy color that you can use and wear to keep your spirits up and know that your nails are looking great with a color that can help to keep you relaxed and happy.

OPI French Bordeaux is an amazing and simple color that is a great every day wear color and it matches a lot of tan skins as well as numerous darker complexions.  It also works with most colors of skin, but I don’t really recommend it as a solid color for people with very pale skin.  This is a definite one to try or if you are getting a design done and need a matte pink color, you might want to give this one a try as it is perfect for accenting and for some designs.  I love the OPI French Bordeaux color and if you can see how simple and easy it is to use and mix, you’ll love it too.  You can buy this color on sale here at Hair Care Discounters.com as well for $5.75 today.   If you want an easy to wear every day pink nail polish color, this is a good one to try.

OPI Boris and Natasha on Sale – OPI Boris and Natasha

  • Posted on September 23, 2009 at 8:48 pm

OPI Boris and Natasha

OPI Boris and Natasha

OPI Boris and Natasha is one of the most classic and most popular colors from OPI Nail Polish.  It is not only a fun and cute color, but it can also be dressed up or dressed down and worn for almost every occassion and for every season.

Since it is a gem colored purple nail polish, OPI Boris and Natasha will work with almost everyone’s skin tones and if you are afraid that your skin is way to pale for this amazing color, think again.  Take someone with seriously white skin like Morticia Addams, now image they have on this nail polish and you accent it with dark clothing that has sleeves or a large silver bracelet.  All of the sudden this color works with your skin and not against it.  You can also use it to show off large gemstones and really bring your jewerly together with smaller gem stone rings.

Now, if you don’t have pale skin, this color is probably perfect for all of you.  Just hold your hand up to the picture of this nail polish and look at how perfect it will look complimenting your gorgeous skin tone and think about how many different types of clothes you can wear with this.  My favorite is a long sleeve that is dark and might have some patterns or textures to it or even a strapless dress, but definitely not a tshirt.  Unless you are pulling this off for spring time to match all of the pastels and other colors that need something a little darker to offset them.  (BTW I do not endorse pastels ever,,,heheheh personal taste even though they do work and look amazing for many people).

OPI Boris and Natasha is one of the most classic colors of OPI Nail Polish and if you haven’t tries this one yet, you seriously need to give it a go and it is on sale today at Hair Care Discounters for only $5.75 which is a price you cannot beat for OPI Nail Polish.  I love this color and know that when you buy it and open it up you are going to find a million ways to wear it and clothes and accessories that will easily match it.  Buy your bottle of OPI Boris and Natasha Here.

OPI Black Onyx – Black Nail Polish on Sale

  • Posted on September 18, 2009 at 8:09 pm
OPI Black Onyx

OPI Black Onyx

So it seems weird that a professional Nail Polish, not costume polish, company would produce a black nail polish, however if you think about it it actually makes complete sense as to why they produce it, why it made the classics collection and that you actually may be wearing black nail polish and not even thinking about it.   Also, why would I be bringing up a black nail polish,,,,which is what I know my bosses are going to be asking when they see that I put in OPI Black Onyx as the recommended Nail Product of the day.  So lets start with why I am putting this one in this post for a Featured Product Fridays post.

Simple, Its September 18th and everyone at happy hour last night was talking about Halloween and so I have Halloween on the brain right now.  Not to mention all of the grocery stores, convenience stores and gas stations have their Halloween merchandise and candy out, so I wanted to recommend a nail polish that Goths wear on a regular basis and tons of people dressing up in costumes wear each year on Halloween.  OPI Black Onyx is a perfect color for Halloween since it is black and can go with just about any scary or even some non scary and some sexy costumes like Elvira, Witches, Zombies and more.

Sooo, anyways, lets get to some of the real questions about OPI Black Onyx and OPI producing a black nail polish for the mass market and not just on special holidays.

Most people and salons don’t actually use black nail polish to do a coating and covering of your nail and leave it black.  Instead they use it when painting designs for dark accents or for creating formal wear colors and accents onto your nails.  It can be used in airbrushing to separate colors and shapes from eachother and the black nail polish also works as borders and perfect for creating definition and design on your nails.  If you look at a lot of designs you see tons of colors and shapes, but if you also look closely at the very expensive and detailed nail art and nail designs, you see that the shapes and colors pop more and the reason why is that the nail stylist uses a dark color to accent or highlight the brighter color that they want to stand out and what better as a regular dark color when the design is already dark than black.  Black nail polish is also perfect for kids nail art when you need to outline flower petals or even simple shapes.  If you get your nails done or are having a design painted on, watch and see and you’ll notice your stylist using dark colors and possibly even black nail polish like OPI Black Onyx on your nails too….if you look closely you might even be wearing it right now.

Because of how versatile black nail polish is, how many salons and stylists swear by it and because the classics collection only takes the best sellers, OPI Black Onyx made it from its normal collection to the classics collection easy as everyone needs a dark color to highlight and accent their designs, or even use as a color in the design and because people who like to wear black nail polish regularly  needed one that is easy to coat and put on and actually lasts for a long time, and costume shop quality just doesn’t hold up to that.   This really is a cool color to try and to use with designs and painting.

Anyway, I love OPI Black Onyx and it is on sale here at Hair Care Discounters, so buy it today and get well before Halloween so you can not only get to have fun painting your nails or bringing it to your salon so they can do it, but also wear it for Halloween for your costume.

Featured Product Fridays & an Apology

  • Posted on September 11, 2009 at 9:49 pm

Hi Everyone.  Sorry for not posting yesterday but I was moving apartments and it ended up not only taking the whole day, but also went into the night.  I am sorry for not posting yesterday, but I definitely think that this week’s Featured Product Fridays are going to completely make up for not being here and the sale prices on the items are absolutely unbelieveable…heck when I saw them I didn’t believe it either so that is why I think that if you are reading this post, you have to see the serious discounts on these Salon Quality Hair Care Products and then you’ll see why I could not believe the discounts we have on the name brand Hair Care Products.

Matrix Biolage Conditioning Balm:

Matrix Biolage Conditioning Balm

Matrix Biolage Conditioning Balm

This is a huge picture for a huge product.  I couldn’t believe it when I saw it in its 37oz container, but the Matrix Biolage Conditioning Balm couldn’t have a better size because once you start using it you will never want to stop.

This balm uses its light formula to not only help add moisture into your hair, but help to get dry and brittle hair back to life and looking and feeling great again.  The Biolage Balm uses lemongrass and sage extracts in its formulas to help leave your hair not only soft looking and feeling, but also flexible again, instead of that nasty dry and brittle we all get when over working our hair.

This is also a product that is perfect for vacations and for the Summer time if you live in the Northeast like me, or Year Round if you are in the South or Southern California because if you take a little bit of the biolage conditioning balm and rub it into your palms then run it through your hair, it helps to prevent damage from the pool and hot tub chemicals like chlorine and bromine and helps to keep your hair healthy and happy in and after you get out of the pool.  You can buy biolage conditioning balm on Sale for just $27.50 today here at HairCareDiscounters.com

Matrix Biolage Fortifying Conditioner:

Matrix Biolage Fortifying Conditioner

Matrix Biolage Fortifying Conditioner

The Matrix Biolage Fortifying Conditioner is one of the top selling product from Matrix Biolage.  Most people actually think it is only Biolage and we love that because you know what, any way you call it or however you find it or pronounce it, it will still work amazingly well for you and for your hair.

This conditioner is designed to help repair and treat overworked hair from the not so serious damage to the seriously, hair breaking and falling out, type of damage (but remember it is a conditioner and not a treatment or a mask,,,I recommend one of those first) and helps to repair it with daily use and after you have used a proper reconstructor or hair treatment.

The Biolage Fortifying Conditioner is one of the best selling conditioners from Matrix Biolage and if you haven’t tried it yet, I know you have definitely seen it in Salons and in Grocery Stores, then you should think about giving it ago if you are coloring your hair, or doing something that may damage it this fall.  I am loving the Matrix Biolage Fortifying Conditioner and what I love even more is the serious discount you can now get on this conditioner by shopping through our site Hair Care Discounters.com.

We have the Matrix Biolage Fortifying Conditioner on sale today for just $9.95, that is 54.7% off of retail prices.  Isn’t that insane!  I would recommend buying this conditioner asap because you will not be able t find better prices on this conditioner for a long time.

Sebastian Wet Sleek Hold Liquid Gel:

Sebastian Wet Sleek Hold Liquid Gel

Sebastian Wet Sleek Hold Liquid Gel

This is one of the most popular and loved hair gels on the Market.  It comes from the manufacturer Sebastian (who rumor has it has cancelled this product and noone knows why since it sells seriously well….maybe they have a brand new version coming out and want supplies to dwindle so people are more inclined to try the new one when it comes out.  If you are a Hair Care Discounters customer though, don’t worry since we have pallets of this and will not be running out any time soon.) who created my favorite hairspray and who has soo many amazing styling products it is no wonder the Wet Sleek Hold Liquid Gel jumped to number one in the best Hair Gel Category that sells, at least for our site.

The Sebastian wet skeel hold liquid gel is on sale today at a seriously amazing price, you cannot beat this sales price at just $7.95 USD per bottle which is an unbelieveable 55.8% off the Retail Price!  You seriously cannot beat this price on this product as it is one of the best and only hair gels that I would ever trust to be able to be applied to damp hair and when you blow dry it or even somewhat let it dry out on its own will retail and give you that amazing and sexy sleek wet look and style.

I would hurry up and buy sebastian wet sleek hold liquid gel on sale asap if I were you as you do not want to miss out on this amazing price.

Like I said, if you have ever wanted to try one of the worlds best hair gels, and not have to kill your bank account to do it, you have to buy a bottle or two of the Sebastian Gel and you will see why soo many men and women go crazy for it and will only rely on this hair product to style and hold their hair.   It really is a trusted brand because you can trust its results time and time again.  I love this hair gel and know that you will to.

Spornette 116 Aerated Touche Brush:

Spornette 116 Aerated Touche Hairbrush

Spornette 116 Aerated Touche Hairbrush

This is one of the best hair brushes available for people who have long hair.

Not only is the Spornette 116 Aerated Touche Brush designed to be able to used for and with thermo styling, but it also has nylong brissels to help you get the volume you are going for with your hair dryers, etc…

Although I don’t know too much about hair brushes yet, this one is pretty fabulous from what I have been reading and if you would like to buy one of these amazing hair brushes, you can buy the spornette 116 aeratted hair brush for just $5.99 and save 36.9% off of retail prices.

OPI Give me Moor!:

OPI Give Me Moor!

OPI Give Me Moor!

Is another one of the amazing colors from the OPI Espana Colleccion.

Not only is it one of the darker and more elegant colors, but this rich and dark purple color would look amazing with gemstone jewelry like saphires and along white gold or silver bracelets and platinum settings.  The dark purple is also amazing for showing off diamond rings and makes the rock really stand out and you will instantly see the difference this one nail polish color can make.

This is only one of the reason I love the OPI Espana Colleccion soo much.  These dark and rich colors can do so much and actually work on their own or even in nail art.   There are soo many different ways that you can easily wear with soo many outfits and if used in nail art to soo many events and places that you won’t even need an evening gown, you can use this to make some gorgeous petals for flowers for fall walks and hikes, or even to create a fruit design for fall Thanksgiving Corocopias.  These colors, especially this dark purple color from OPI are amazing and you cannot pass them up.

OPI Give Me Moor! is on sale today at Hair Care Discounters for just $5.75 and as a special surprise, the rest of the collection is also on sale for $5.57.  You have to try the OPI Espana Colleccion before the new line comes out and only 5 colors get saved for the OPI Classics Collection.

Featured Product Fridays. OPI Espana, Brocato, Murad, Kerastase

  • Posted on September 4, 2009 at 4:48 pm

I can’t believe it is already Friday again, and with Friday comes our featured products and deals.  This week I am still obsessed with OPI Espana so I am soo going to recommend another color from the line, and no it isn’t the Here Today Aragon Tomorrow, even though I still love that color, as well as a really high end hair product that is now affordable, something for styling and of course something for your skin.   I kind of like featured product fridays the most because not only do I get to try new products usually, but I get to learn about some of the newer ones as well.

Anyways, this week’s Featured Product Fridays is:

OPI The Manicurist of Seville:

OPI The Manicurist of Seville

OPI The Manicurist of Seville

OPI The Manicurist of Seville

This is one of the most amazing reds I have seen in a long time.  It is deep, rich dark and red.  It looks like the deep rich blood red of the flamenco dresses worn by the Women in Spain and almost the same dark and rich blood red that you find in the spanish dyed fabric fans.

I can easily see this red being used for a first date, a romantic evening, any and every formal event or anything that involved a night of glamour, romance or that requies evening attire.  For me, this deep dark blood red color should be saved for special occasions as it is a gorgeous and unique color, but if you are anything like me, you also cannot resist and will probably put it on anyways lol…I mean Monday night is a special occasion too and because you need to wear this nail polish somewhere special, it is the perfect excuse for a dinner out at a nice restaraunt or to find a date to take you somewhere special.

If you can’t tell I love this red and already have my own bottle of it.  If you love these deep rich colors then you need to click the link above and buy your own bottle of OPI The Manicurist of Seville on Sale today for $5.75.  That is one of the best deals and prices on the internet for brand new bottles of the newest and most sought after line of nail polishes from OPI.  Order your bottle today so you can begin enjoying this amazing and deep rich red nail polish.

Brocato Cloud 9 Repair Styling Creme:

Cloud 9 Miracle Repair Style Creme

Cloud 9 Miracle Repair Style Creme

Cloud 9 Miracle Repair Style Creme

Brocato is a hair line that most people do not know about, however when they discover it they become hooked on it and never give it up.  It is almost addictive how well Brocato works and it is perfect for everyone of all ages.   One of my close friends who is hooked on Brocato products only buys this for her house and her kids and refuses to let any other hair care products in their house.

The Brocato Cloud 9 Repair Styling Creme is a styling product that also works to help repair your hair from damage that you may have caused with styling, coloring, environmental damage and other things that may have harmed your hair as well as providing your hair with a nice hold so that you can help to not only revive your hair, but also have a great look and hairstyle that lasts all day.

Now although this is a light holding product, so I would recommend a repairing hairspray as well, Brocato makes a great one, if you want a hold that lasts longer, it still does work great if you want a light hold or you want your ahir to be able to move around freely wihout the look of any styling products in it at all.

This product is also infused with UVA/UVB protection so it helps to not only helps to protect your hair from light and sun damage, but it also gives your hair a nice burst of moisture and replenishes your hair so that it can start to regain its natural shine.

This is a must have repairing light hold styling product and if you have never tried Brocato Products before, I highly recommend you give them a go, but be careful because they do become addictive lol.  =0).

Murad is known for its skin care products, especially acne.  Although they don’t run a million infomercials like Proactive, Murad doesn’t need to because the people that use it and enjoy keep buying it because it works for them and on their skin.  They don’t need to mass market it because a lot of people refer their friends to it.

Although I have never used the Murad product line, I do have a couple of friends in LA that swear by it.  I think the most important thing with skin care, especially toners and masks, is to find one that works for you and stick with it.  If for some reason it doesn’t seem like it is working or you want something new, then buy a couple bottles of different ones, try them each for a week and then go with the new one, but make sure that you always use it regularly and as instructed on the bottle.   One of the most important ones to use as well is a proper toner, especially if the toner is also a cleanser like the Murad Clarifying Toner.

Toners are important for people of all ages.  It doesn’t matter if you are young and your skin is holding up perfect and has the elasticity of a rubber band or if you are mature and starting to sag a little bit.  If you don’t start using a toner when you are younger, when you age a bit your skin will take its revenge on you and if you stop using it when you begin to sag, either say hellow to plastic surgery or say hello to saggy cheeks.   This is something I realized back when I was 20 and since then I began using a couple different brands of Toners and Cleansers and even though I am still fairly young, my skin looks 1 million times better and younger than almost all of my friends and people my age.  It is important to keep it tight and toned and it is soo easy to do.   The Murad Clarifying Toner uses natural ingredients like Witch Hazel to clean your pores and Vitamin C and E to protect your skin from radical damage.  It also has algae extracts to help control excess sebum production and Menthol which is not a only a mince fresh minty feeling but also works as an antiseptic and cooling feeling.  The Murad Clarifying Toner is a great product if you want to cleand and cleanse your skin as well as tone it.   When I am ready to switch toners and cleansers again this is one that is definitely on my list.

Anyways, these are our featured products for this week and each one is great.  I love them all and think that you will too…even though I haven’t tried the Murad one, it is on my list so when I do I will definitely come back and let you all know how it worked out.  Talk to you all on Monday or Tuesday….since technically Monday is Labor Day.  If you are in the US, Have a great Labor Day Weekend and if you are elswhere, enjoy your weekend and talk to you soon.

It’s all about the nails. Nail art has taken a new level.

Today I was looking around the web at different nail sites and nail art sites and I found some crazy things people are doing with their nails and some pretty amazing designs that they are creating.  One of my favorite designs was by Jamie at Nail Art Tuesday.

Not only is she an extremely talented artist, but she also uses soo many things like gold bullion balls in her designs and really takes nail art to the next level.  I think my favorite designs have to be her Porcelain Roses nail polish design and in second is the tuxedo nails in her blog header.

The next blog I found was this really cool and crazy asian nail art blog where they are using soo many non traditional materials like sequins type of shiney mirrors and really cool looking confetti to create disco ball nails eliminating the need for glitter and taking rhinestone looks to a new level.  Now, this blog is written in a language I don’t speak so I cannot tell what you may read on there, but the nail art is amazing and the designs that they are coming up with by combining non traditional materials with regular nail polishes like OPI Nail Polish to create these cool, modern and fun designs.  I also love how everything on the site is sparkling like their nails and nail art designs.

People are getting really creative with their nails this year and I cannot wait to see what happens with New Years and holiday nails.  If you have some crazy nail art or even just want to share a picture of your nails or hair with our readers and customers, send an email to ariemer (at) haircarediscounters (dot) com and either Adam or Heather will put them up on the blog for you.
