Sand Me a Postcard

If you're spending your summer vacation at the shore, get ready for a beauty benefit you may not have been aware of -- the sand! Walking in summer sand is more than just another way to grab the lifeguard's attention -- as your toes grip the sand, you're actually toning up your legs and derriere.  And the sand's abrasiveness smoothes away calluses and dry skin, too.  Want to keep the smoothness going once the beach is behind you? Check out the scrubs by Manicure/Pedicure by OPI in summer-sensational fragrances, like Tropical Citrus, Papaya Pineapple, and Royal Verbena.  Each contains sugar crystals for gentle, thorough exfoliation, plus natural ingredients to leave your feet looking and feeling fabulous.  Walk on.

The Royal Treatment

After a tough winter of snow, slush, freezing temps, and boots, spring is finally here (according to the calendar).  And that means, believe it or not, that pedi season and bare toes are right around the corner.  Give your feet the royal pampering they deserve to look and feel great with new Mani/Pedi by OPI Royal Verbena.  Inspired by the blossoming verbena plant with its crisp green aroma, and filled with extracts of soothing botanicals and revitalizing citrus, Royal Verbena Scrub, Mask, and Massage will make your feet -- and hands -- soft, smooth, and silky.  Hello spring.
 

Go Toe-gethers

One of the pleasures of summer is baring your toes in fun or fabulous (or both) sandals. 

  has paired its favorite pedicure-perfect nail shades with must-have footwear, and the results are enough to make you want to stock up your shoe stash right now.  My fave -- OPI Nail Lacquer in No Room for the Blues, worn with silvery Sergio Rossi sandals. 

I'm thinking cocktails by the pool ...

 

Playin' Footsie

With summer just around the corner, the time to "bare your sole" is here.  As you get ready for sandal season, some advice from the beauty pages:   For "strap happy" feet, Teen Vogue recommends Manicure/Pedicure by OPI Papaya Pineapple Scrub.  Packed with natural sugar crystals to get rid of the rough stuff, plus papaya extract to exfoliate and help rejuvenate, and antioxidant pineapple extract to help soothe, this spa temptation leaves feet soft and silky.  NewBeauty magazine chooses Manicure/Pedicure by OPI Tropical Citrus Scrub.  Same great sugar crystals, plus coconut extract to help soften and citrus extract to help invigorate your tootsies.  Treat yourself to a complete Mani/Pedi by OPI pedicure service at your salon -- there's also a soothing Soak and smoothing  Massage lotion in each of these flavors.  A true "bare" necessity.

Warming Trend

I know it's just the beginning of April but how long can it really be now until it really warms up?  Get winter-tired feet ready for all those great sandals that await with new Manicure/Pedicure by OPI Papaya Pineapple.  The three luxurious products -- Scrub, Mask, and Massage lotion -- are filled with the extracts of juicy papaya (to exfoliate and help rejuvenate) and antioxidant pineapple, (to help soothe) plus nature’s most effective botanicals.  The result is soft, silky feets (hands, too!).  And the aroma -- clean, slightly crisp, slightly sweet, completely luscious.  Is that the ocean I hear in the background? (Look for Mani/Pedi Papaya Pineapple in salons beginning this month.)
