Wow, summer seems to be flying by at a rapid pace and, before you know it, autumn will be arriving. However, no worries, there's still plenty left to enjoy of the season---and there's still time to get (and rock) the new Zoya Summer Pixie Dust polish collection. The cool peeps at Zoya kindly sent me the collection---along with some of the colors from the debut Pixie collection, so I could show you just how awesome they really are. The entire collection is beautiful, bright---and, of course, super sparkly! Your finger nails will reflect like diamonds under the summer sun.

Review: OPI ‘Neon Revolution’ Set (Limited Edition)

Summer may not officially start until tomorrow, but that doesn't mean you have to wait any longer to play with ultra-bright colors that are the hottest trend this season. Today I have a look at the new OPI "Neon Revolution" mini set for you, which features four limited edition neon nail lacquers, a neon white base coat, and the OPI Top Coat. I have a fairly large polish collection, but I never realized how I severly lacked in neon colors, and that's why I was so excited to give these a test spin. I tend not to purchase mini bottles of polish because I feel like it won't last me long--so why bother? However, I was pleasantly surprised to see how much each bottle packs--I can certainly get a few manis out of this to last me straight through summertime. On with it!

I'm beyond excited to share the latest collection from OPI with you, and if you follow all of my crazy Twitter ramblings then you'll probably have an idea why--it's all about Minnie Mouse! That's right, I got my Disney-loving paws on the Couture de Minnie line, and before you go and say you already have the OPI Minnie polishes--slow your roll, because these bad boys are brand new! Last summer OPI released some ultra-cute colors for their Vintage Minnie Collection, but this latest line is geared towards taking your favorite lady mouse in the high couture fashion direction. Disney has been focusing heavily on the fashionable side of Miss Minnie, and I love it! These are two of my total favorites coming together for one stylish venture.

Brace yourself for the tidal wave of shimmer that is the new Deborah Lippmann Summer 2013 collection -- The Mermaids. This mystical line is inspired by the glittering seafoam green "Mermaid's Dream" that was a best-seller and fan favorite from last year. This time around Lippmann wants you to kick up your fins and show off her four shade-- including: blue, orange, pink, and purple--variety of magical mermaid hues, "I created these shades by listening to what customers wanted – more Mermaid's Dream. I took the beautiful glittered shimmer to another level by creating a whole family of shades reminiscent of the cult classic. Discover the same gorgeous glittering shine in any of The Mermaids," Lippmann elaborated on her inspiration. As a devoted fan of "Mermaid's Dream", I was excited to try out some of her new colors and got my hands on the peachy-orange "Million Dollar Mermaid" and the oceanic "Mermaid's Eyes".

Review: Essie’s Sleek Sticks

Product Review

In an effort to share my love of all things hair, makeup, and nail related, I've begun to include reviews of some of the hottest new beauty lines. For the first round of reviews, I'd like to introduce you to the new Essie "Sleek Sticks" nail appliqué collection from their Nail Effects line. Essie kindly sent them over for me to try out and share my thoughts with you on how well they work. If you've never tried nail appliques--in a nutshell--they are basically stickers for your nails. Quite frankly, when I first heard Essie was doing some I was a bit apprehensive to test them out as my experience in the past with other brands had more misses than hits. However, I LOVE Essie polish ,so I figured I'd give them it a go...plus the designs really caught my eye. Essie Sleek Stick nail appliques, come in a variety of designs (12 to be exact, and listed at the bottom of this post); they are UV cured and said to last up to 10 days. In my history with other appliques: they usually don't last more than a day without at least a little lifting. I didn't have these on long enough to test out the wear time, but I've heard they are the best with staying on and you can get a good 4-5 days out of them. Let's get to it!

Kristen Stewart’s Hairstylist Tells You How To Get Her Hot “TODAY Show” ‘Do!

It's no secret -- any time KRISTEN STEWART makes a public appearance, her style is critiqued from head-to-toe. How was her hair? What did you think of her make-up? Do you love her outfit? Would you wear these shoes? When it comes to her her famous auburn-brown mane, Kristen normally wears her long tresses in a ponytail or out in sexy "bed-head" waves -- although every once in awhile she'll totally switch things up and rock a cool intricate creation. When the 21-year-old actress appeared on NBC's "TODAY" last Monday to promote her new film "Snow White and the Huntsman" -- the responses towards her look were practically unanimous. "She looked better than ever!" One of the things on-lookers couldn't stop talking about was Kristen's interesting multi-tucked half-up/half-down hairstyle. Partly because it's not a style we're use to seeing on her -- and mostly because it was just ridiculously cool. Speaking for myself, this was one of my favorite looks on her ever! So, do you want to learn how to do it?

Pumped Up Ponytails!

It's common knowledge that most of the everyday hair trends we use begin on the runway. Whether it's the look-like-you-have-dirty-hair-but-not-actually-be-dirty style; slick pin straight hair with a center pair, and the most recent craze over the "top knot" -- the models on the catwalk always inspire.

Last month during Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week we saw lots of interesting looks and some so-so styles, but Donna Karan took a common "old" favorite and made it "new" and "trendy" all over again.

The models walking in the Donna Karan Collection Spring/Summer 2012 runway presentation strut down the runway wearing tribal print fabric, dark lips, lots of attitude -- and swinging blunt-end ponytails fastened with long cuff bands to play off the exotic essence of the show!
