What's the Scoop on Gel Nails? | yohana

Imagine a nail polish that lasts for two weeks without a single chip. Sounds like a tall (nail) tale right? Wrong! I road-tested the fabulousCHI nail bar's gel manicure and caught up with the owner, Fawn Ton, to get the scoop on the indestructible mani.
Let's cover the pros first, because we gotta admit, there are a lot of them. First of all, there's the selection. Since gel nails have been around for over a year, you have a rainbow of colors literally at your fingertips. For all the uptown gals, CHI nail bar specializes in customized french gel nails, and for the downtown divas, they do a glitter version that'll make your nails look like mini disco balls!
The next big benefit? "Gel color nails provide longer lasting manicures with advantages like no dry time, because the ultraviolet light cures the color within minutes," shares Ton. You know what this means? No more freaking over the inevitable dented digit when you're minutes out of the salon—not to mention winter pedicures are totally doable without the frozen feet orwacky booties. It gives new meaning to the phrase tough as nails.
The last notable pro is that the gels soak off easily in acetone. This means no drills or filing down your nails, like traditional nail enhancements.

How to Look Bold in Beige? | yohana

I'm glad you asked, because lately it seems like nude frocks are giving the LBD a run for its money. Case in point: the pale dress has been spotted on practically everyone from Hollywood sweethearts like Ashley Greene to Tinseltown establishments like Renée Zellweger. And while beige can look beautiful, it's all too easy to get the shade that blends right into your skin. And unless you like to dabble in public nudity, read on to get the best ways to rock the look the right way, courtesy of stylist,Annie Funn.
The style guru promises, "A nude color dress can look great on anyone," and to achieve the look effortlessly, "opt for a nude that is a few shades darker or lighter than your skin color." So if you have pale alabaster skin, try awarm peachy color, and if you have cocoa coloring, a sandy dress will surely complement your complexion.
Funn's second tip is to look for dress details that will create contrast between your skin and the fabric. "Choose a nude that has a shine, and gives you a glow, like satin or silk," she advises. You can also look for eye-catching extras like beaded embellishments or ruffles.
And just to double check you look smashing before you walk out the door, snap a Polaroid of yourself. If you're washed out, it will become immediately apparent. If not, congratulate yourself on going buff without blending into the background!
