What’s On Your Nails? is a series focusing on my fellow beauty bloggers and industry insiders, their favorite nail polish and other hot nail topics.

For this week’s WOYN? I asked fellow nail blogger, Scrangie, to share with the group. I’m sure that, like me, your first question is what does Scrangie mean? Is that her real name? Well no it’s not technically her name. It’s a childhood nickname that has stuck with her into adulthood.

Beyond her love of polish, what impresses me most about Scrangie is her impeccable nails. They are perfectly shaped, smooth and healthy looking. And she swatches a LOT of polish people. Her tips are something I only wish mine could be. It takes a lot of work to keep my nails in shape and they are nowhere near as nice as hers. She’s also a huge Rescue Beauty fan and has quite the collection of RBL polishes. Her swatches are one of the factors that prompted my first RBL order.

Learn more about Scrangie, see the coveted discontinued polish that tops her faves list and find out what one product she credits for her fabulous nails after the jump!

If it wasn’t for the subject of this week’s What’s On Your Nails?, words like totes, hilar, cra and perf would have never entered my vernacular. In fact, when I bring up her name the boyfriend refers to her as, “the Amber that’s so hilar it’s ridic.” That’s right kids, I’m referring to the one and only Amber Katz of Beauty Blogging Junkie.

Amber cracks me up like no one else. Her quick wit and skill for turning out a magazine ready beauty quote makes her one of my favorite beauty bloggers to see backstage at fashion shows. When we met at a dinner last February I immediately noticed her beyond fabulous blonde mane and we clicked over our shared hair passion. I could talk hair with her for hours.

It’s the way Amber mixes her love of all things 80s, Lost and most importantly beauty into Beauty Blogging Junkie that makes it one of my daily must reads. If you aren’t already hooked, you soon will be. Read on to see what shade she scours ebay to keep in her stash, what top coat she thinks is “THE BEST” and the nail faux pas that we both agree needs to go AWAY!

“What’s On Your Nails?” with Beth from Glamour’s Girls in the Beauty Department

What’s On Your Nails? is a series focusing on my fellow beauty bloggers and industry insiders, their favorite nail polish and other hot nail topics.A couple weeks ago, Beth Shapouri caused me to have a total shattered glass moment. You know what I’m talking about? That moment when you learn something that completely changes your image of someone, FOREVER. Like say you never noticed that your BFF smacks gum like Britney Spears yet once it’s pointed out, it’s all you can hear and you’re totally annoyed.

Well long story short, when I read Beth’s post on Glamour’s Girls in the Beauty Department about Eric Nies (original Real World cast member) using his own urine to wash his hair, every ounce of teen crush that still existed totally died. Yes, he looks like a mountain man with the long hair and beard but underneath you still know it’s Eric Nies, hot piece of man candy. It’s nothing a shave and shower can’t fix. The pee hair thing… total crush deal breaker.

It’s Beth’s unique take on beauty that I so enjoy. She really engages her readers, inviting them to contribute, making it more of a community than just another beauty blog. After connecting with Beth when she interviewed me for the GITBD Blogging Babes series, I hit her up to participate in “What’s On Your Nails?”

Read more about Beth, her fave color for spring and the kitchen pantry staple that should be added to your nail care arsenal, stat!

“What’s On Your Nails?” with Sara from Bit By The Beauty Bug

What’s On Your Nails? is a new series focusing on my fellow beauty bloggers and industry insiders, their favorite nail polish and other hot nail topics.For this week’s What’s On Your Nails, I’d like to introduce you to one of my favorite people, Sara from Bit By The Beauty Bug. I adore Sara because she’s a great friend with an innate sense of style and a quick, witty personality. She doesn’t pull any punches and is one of those people that will tell you if there’s spinach between your teeth. Everyone should have a Sara in their life.

I had the pleasure of meeting Sara a little over a year ago during a trip to New York with the brains behind Total Beauty. We connected during an uber-packed, day long beauty tour and have become great pals ever since via numerous IM and phone chats.

If you aren’t familiar with Sara’s blog, her blunt, no holds barred attitude bleeds over into her product reviews. She’s not one to wax poetic about the latest beauty goody unless it truly deserves praise. Passionate about mascara, her recent Drugstore Mascara Showdown series has saved me from being sucked in by commercial claims. She’s also a big Shu Uemura fan and shares her latest discoveries from the Boston Shu boutique.

Of course, we couldn’t be friends if Sara didn’t have a love and appreciation of polish. See what’s on her nails now and find out what other polishes she considers “must haves” after the jump!

“What’s On Your Nails?” with Jamie from The Beauty Of Life

What’s On Your Nails? is a new series focusing on my fellow beauty bloggers and industry insiders, their favorite nail polish and other hot nail topics.

For the first What’s On Your Nails? I’m happy to feature my Blogging BFF, Jamie Sanders from The Beauty of Life. I met Jamie a year ago in New York during Fashion Week. We had only corresponded briefly through email yet somehow I randomly picked her out in a crowd at the tents. We weren’t planning to meet up. I was just wandering aimlessly, looking for anyone I knew and there she was. Turns out Jamie is a former Clevelander, raised only five minutes from where I’m living now. Small world, no?

Well after that meeting, we instantly bonded and became fast friends. In fact, we even finish each others’ sentences like some new age version of the Patty Duke Show (I was a Nick At Nite addict). It’s a friendship that I’m so so grateful for. Jamie is a true beauty fanatic, an uber-talented writer and one of the most fun people I’ve met. Seriously, if you aren’t reading her blog already, you’re truly missing out. Regular features like Wallet Friendly Wednesdays and Trend Filled Thursdays are must reads.

To learn more about Jamie, see a pic of her favorite nail polish (and her ADORABLE roommate) and discover which brand is currently draining her wallet, click to read more.
