Chauna Brown, owner of Bmore Polished Nail & Lash Bar in Baltimore, MD, is an accomplished natural nail tech and lover of eco-friendly style.

Who knew nail polish could be eco-friendly?

Being a lover of all things nails, I was super excited to have a chat with Ms. Brown. She dished on Spring 2012 nail trends, Bmore Polished Nail bar, and offered up some tips on achieving healthy nails.

OPI Are We There Yet?

“Are We There Yet?”: Bright Nails for Spring

It’s no secret that I am ready for Spring. So, in continuation with my philosophy of “if I wear it (bright colored nail polish) Spring will come, I have a new hue to showcase.

OPI’s Are We There Yet?, such an appropriate name for my current season anxiousness :) , takes the color orange to another level.

It’s not an over the top Halloween orange; rather, the hue is soft with a light shimmer

Normally, I would shy away for polishes that contain a bit of shine; I’m more a a matte color girl myself.

Longing for Spring: OPI Guy Meets Gal-Veston

Atlanta has had some Spring like days, 65+ degree weather, bright sun, a cool but light breeze. Just enough to make you think it’s time to pull out your flip flops.

But then, all of a sudden, bam; it’s 30 degrees the next day with a high of 50.

I am ready for Spring! I’m over these teaser days; the ones that make me think it’s ok to leave the house without a jacket.

I want full blown Spring, flowers and open toe shoes.

Milani Bet on Red

Milani Bet on Red: A Continuation of My Love

I’m not sure if it’s because it’s February or that yesterday was Valentine’s Day but, I have discovered a new found love for the color red.

I think it started with Lush’s A Million Kisses Lip Tint; something about that ruby red hue screamed chic.

Naturally, given my new color infatuation, when I stumbled upon Milani’s Bet on Red in my Little Red Dress Beauty Bash gift bag I couldn’t help but share it with you.

China Glaze First Mate

Navy Nails with China Glaze First Mate

Several months ago I shared with you all my slight infatuation (obsession) with blue nail polish. Well, I was not at all in the market for another bottle of blue hue but, of course, I just can’t say no to a sale.

Originally I headed to Ulta, with my $3.50 off coupon in hand, to pick up a 2 oz bottle of Hair Rules‘ Nourishment Leave In Conditioner. The plan truly was for me to grab the product and head to the front counter.

OPI Bronzed to Perfection Nail Polish

OPI Bronzed to Perfection

I was cruising the clearance isle at Ulta on Christmas Eve (I know, shame on me for last minute shopping) and came across OPI’s Bronzed To Perfection .

Lately I’ve been drawn to matte colored nail polishes; hues with no shimmer or glittery shine. But, for some reason, be it the holiday season or the fact that it was on sale for $4.99, Bronzed Perfection caught my eye.

After picking up a few more items I headed to check out. The associate that assisted me raved about how much she loved the polish and how she actually purchased the entire collection, OPI South Beach Collection.

Nails Tell It All: “What Does Your Mani Say About You?”

It’s no secret that I’m an avid fan of nail polish. In any given month you are sure to find a number of posts dedicated to my newest finds.

Am I “polish obsessed” or do the numerous hues I wear speak to who I am or my mood?

Well, according to Carolyn of Pretty City, and her informal study of manicurist, friends, & family, your manicure “can lend insight into your age, your sense of style, and even your state of mind.”

China Glaze Chocodisiac

In Review: China Glaze Chocodisiac

While at Pretty City & Shape Magazine’s Beauty Sample Sale I had the please of receiving a mini manicure from Nail Technician in training Peggy.

I have been on a quest to sample as many nail polish colors as possible this Fall/Winter. When I laid eyes on China Glaze Chocodisiac I knew I had to give it a try.

Warm earth tones are right up my alley. Plus, anything resembling my favorite sweet snack has to be for me! :)

Essie Carry On Nail Polish

“Carry On” with Essie

Rounding out the trio of Essie’s Fall 2011 Collection is the deep purple hue Carry On.

In comparison to Lady Like and Glamour Purse, Carry On is my absolute favorite for the season!

I can’t get enough of the dark purple color and its ability to take you from day to night. I give Carry On two big thumbs up!

As a special note, after wearing Essie’s polish over these past few months, I must say, it has amazing staying power. Applying a base coat, 2 coats of polish, and a top coat helps my manicure last for days without chipping.
