Ive also always been a huge fan ofnail artthat pushes things to the next level.
Today most of the world (and our beauty routines) are on hold.
It feels like an escape, for example, to get playful with colorful hair when traveling is off-limits.
In fact, I recently had my entire head dyed rainbow (above).
Ive also been experimenting with extensionsfrom glitter tinsel pieces to clip-in ponytails that give me Sailor Moon-like length.
(The characters literally shout, Make up!
after calling on their specific power.)
Admittedly, its not the easiest color to maintain when it comes to fading.
So far the most impactful, unusual product Ive tried is ABHs neon eye liners.
Theyre the brightest, and they literally last all day.
I prefer the stick-on options because theyre so easy to use.
Not only does the product feel extremely luxurious on hair, the packaging is also gorgeous.
It gives a playful, youthful look.
So far my favorite color for this is Narss Desire.
