DIY Ombre Manicure

by Danielle Arsenault July 21, 2014

 

Hi there!  I'm Danielle from For the Love of Leopard, a Fashion Blog that chronicles my daily outfits.  I'm so excited to be guest blogging here at Remington Ready.  Today I'm going to show you how to achieve an ombre manicure at home.  And let me tell you, it is as easy as can be!

 

Here's what you'll need:

*  Base coat (I like Gelous - you can get it on Amazon)
*  Bright summer hue (I'm using Essie "I'm Addicted")
*  Any white nail polish
*  Wax paper
*  Bobby pin
*  Fast dry topcoat (my absolute favorite is Seche Vite)

 

1.  First thing you want to do is create the perfect canvas for your nail polish, so give them a quick swipe with nail polish remover to remove any oils so the polish really sticks.

 

2.  Start with a thin coat of your base and allow it to fully dry. 

 

3.  Apply your bright summer hue (in my case, Essie "I'm Addicted") to both of your thumbs.  This is going to be the darkest shade of your manicure.

 

4.  Using the nail brush place about 5-6 drops of your bright hue onto the wax paper.  Then add one drop of your white polish to the bright hue and mix thoroughly using your bobby pin.  You will now have a slightly lighter shade of your bright hue.  Apply to both of your pointer fingers

 

5.  Place another drop of the white polish into the existing polish on the wax paper and mix thoroughly.  This should be two shades lighter than your original color.  Apply to both of your middle fingers.

 

6.  And so on and so forth - keep adding drops of white and mixing into the existing polish, creating a slightly lighter color with each white drop.  You're most likely going to have to do another coat, so just follow the same process as above, with a new batch of color.

 

7.  Finish off with a swipe of fast dry topcoat and enjoy all the compliments you will receive on this mani!

Makeup Trends For The Summer

by Jessica Fay June 10, 2014

 

 

When we think of summer makeup, we think fresh, neutral and natural. That being said—the winged liner look is very in trend right now and just because you want to look natural doesn’t mean you have to cut it out. Today’s tutorial shows you how to keep the skills you have worked so hard to master, as in the wing, but keeping it understated and beautiful! Having such minimal eye shadow actually makes your wing stand out even more! It also tends to look a little bit cleaner! Spice up your neutral look with a bright lip for a pop and your ready to go!

How To Create The Perfect Natural Waves

by Jessica Fay March 3, 2014

 

As a hairstylist for 7+ years I have tried almost every curling iron and wand out there at least once! The Tear Drop Remington Iron has completely blown me away! I closed-mindedly thought that my curls would turn out the same from this wand, as they do most other wands, but thankfully I was very wrong! They had such a beachy and textured effect to them, I absolutely loved it! They steps to achieve this look are as followed:

 

What you will need:

 

Tear Drop Remington Wand

Boar Bristle Brush

Teasing Brush (optional)

Small clips

 

 

1. Spray a heat protectant all over hair and brush out any product left from the day before.

2. Take the Remington Teardrop Wand to begin curling. Make sure to use glove, to avoid burns. Start in the front of your face and curl one inch sections away from your face.

3. Catch curl as you remove it from the wand in gloved hand and roll back up to your scalp.Use a small clip to secure it in the roll to your scalp until it is completely cool.

4. Remove the pins and brush out the curls with a boar bristle brush.

5. Place your hair where you want it to stay and spray with a medium to strong hold hairspray.

6. Go outside with your beachy curls and enjoy the warm sunshine!

How to: Remington Silk Ceramic Heated Clip Setter

by Katie Manwaring May 20, 2013

Hey all! Katie from Katie's Bliss here to show you how I use the Remington Silk Ceramic Heated Clip Setter before getting ready to head out for my day. Prior to doing my makeup or getting dressed, I set the curlers in my hair and then leave them in while I continue my morning routine. When they've completely cooled I pull them out, style my hair with my fingers and add in a little hairspray. To see just how I use these hot rollers check out my tutorial!
