Get Flawless Nails In a Flash

 

Remember the press-on manicure? Well it’s back baby, but this time the tips are super-cool, super-easy to apply and long-wearing, lasting up to seven days. Meet the Impress Press-On Manicure by Broadway Nails (from $7 at Walmart and London Drugs). Each set of nails comes packaged in this cute little polish bottle which holds enough tips (in different sizes to fit all your nails) for a one-time application. How easy-breezy is this mani? Simply groom your natural nails to a short-ish length, peel the sticky backing from the tip and affix to nail. THAT’S IT! The tips can be filed into different shapes and lengths to suit your style and the finish on them is incredibly shiny and natural-looking. Perfect for all those engagement parties, right?! They are available in 36 different variations and include both solids (Control Freak, Casting Call and Ecstatic Cling are a few of our faves pictured above) and patterns. We suggest packing a few in your honeymoon bag so post-wedding, you can mix up your mani on location—no nail polish or remover required.

BB Cream: What It Is And Why You Need It For Your Wedding Day

There’s a new secret beauty weapon in town you may have heard the buzz about: BB Cream. What is it? BBs have actually been on the market for a while—they are wildly popular in Asia—but have now started making headlines in North America where you may have noticed an explosion happening at the cosmetic counter. Known as “Blemish Balm,” “Beauty Balm,” or “Beauty Benefit” cream (depending on the manufacturer), these lightweight liquid formulas are to be applied after moisturizer, before foundation or powder. The benefits are multi-purpose: hydration, lightening and brightening. They also even out skin tone and provide SPF protection. Here are five fantastic BBs to check out.
