Nail Polish Summer School: Sick of stained nails?

Posted Jun 17th 2008 at 10:35AM by Kristen Seymour

Filed under: Cosmetics, Skin Care




The last time we removed the polish from our toenails and didn't have time to repaint them, we were horribly embarrassed. Not because we're so particular about having our toenails painted -- simply because we kept them painted so often that, when we took the polish off, our toenails were discolored! Eeewww!!!

Nail Polish Summer School: Best pedi colors for the beach

Posted Jun 13th 2008 at 9:49AM by Kristen Seymour

Filed under: Cosmetics




When you're planning a trip to the beach, what all do you need? Of course, you've got to pack a beach towel, a sexy bathing suit, a beach cover-up, a floppy hat, fabulous sunglasses, loads of sunscreen, a book or gossip mag, and ... a pedicure! You can't slide into your flip-flops without gorgeous toes, can you?

Here at StyleDash, we have some specific ideas about the colors that should be worn at the beach. We're fans of this year's popular dark shades, and we also like French pedicures as well as soft, pale colors. However, when you're digging your toes in the sand, there's only one way to go with your toenail polis -- bright!

Whether you prefer pink, red, coral, or something else, you can definitely find a bright version of your favorite. We've got some of our favorites, but we want to know -- what color do you wear when you hit the beach?

Nail Polish Summer School: Do fingers and toes need to match?

Posted Jun 11th 2008 at 8:50AM by Kristen Seymour

Filed under: Cosmetics




Here at StyleDash, we are firm believers in the freedom to wear whatever colors suit your personal style. And, we definitely don't think finger and toenails need to be painted the same shades. Often we opt for a darker hue on our toes than on our hands, and that is for a couple of reasons:

For one, fingernail polish chips more quickly than polish on our toes, so painting our fingernails with something dark or bright all the time just isn't practical. Additionally, dark colors on our fingernails a dark or bright color attracts a lot of attention, which is fine sometimes, but not as desirable other times.

Do fingernails and toenails need to be painted the same colors?

Dread mandal season is here

Posted Jun 10th 2008 at 11:02AM by Cat Lincoln

Filed under: Accessories, Shoes, Men


Happy summer! Finally the sandal season we've been talking about is here. We were so excited until Stylist reminded us that sandals are equal opportunity footwear. Yes, we're talking about Mandals.

We have mixed emotions about Mandals. Well, not exactly mixed, more like pure horror and apprehension.

Men aren't what you'd call "active" when it comes to foot care. Ragged, discolored toe nails, broad, hairy feet, oddly fish-like toes that haven't seen the sun since forever...there is much to fear when it comes to men and strappy shoes.

What's the solution? Do we want men jockeying for the next spa chair at the nail salon? Or should they just cover up those glass cutters like nature and Doc Marten intended? Why do so many celebs seem interested in wearing mandals?

Should men wear Mandals?

Nail Polish Summer School: Are you a DIY or pedi girl?

Posted Jun 5th 2008 at 9:48AM by Kristen Seymour

Filed under: Cosmetics, Skin Care




We've known girls who had a natural talent for painting their nails. They could do left and right hands and feet with equal ease -- a French manicure was no challenge for them. And they never ended up with nail polish all over their digits.

We were not so lucky.



Do you get pedicures or do it yourself?
