I am the daughter of a hardcore “Trekker” – (the term “Trekkies,” my father says, refers to baby Trek fans) – and I have been to more than one Shore Leave Convention (Star Trek/sci-fi fantasy convention) in my lifetime. My dad has been on the cover of a daily newspaper weekend “things to do in the area” …

Milani Cosmetics has introduced a new line of High Speed Fast Dry One Coat Formula Nail Lacquers for 2012. I have to say, I was skeptical when I saw the label. But it was a pleasant surprise when the eight-shade range delivered on that one coat promise! One of the first things I noticed about this …

I was happily surprised when UPS or FedEx came to my door with Nubar’s new Polka Dots collection last week, because it’s been at the top of my list to order. I love the simple idea of these top coats – hex glitter and fine glitter pieces in a clear base, one black and one …
