<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><b><u>Step 1:</u></b> </span><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Start with a prepped almond shaped nail. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><u><span style="font-size: large;">Step 2:</span></u></b> </span><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Paint nail with a gold polish such as Patricia Nail
Lacquer in ‘Diadem’ (You could also use gold metallic gel polish such as ‘Orly
Luxe’)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><b><u>Step 3:</u></b> </span><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Allow polish to dry. Then, burnish CND Additives in
‘Antique Bronze’ (This will subdue and “antique” the brighter gold polish.) </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><u><span style="font-size: large;">Step 4: </span></u></b><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Next apply CND Shellac top coat and cure. Do not cleanse.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><u><span style="font-size: large;">Step 5:</span></u></b> </span><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Using silver rainbow foil, randomly dab the foil
pieces on to the nail, in the tacky layer of the cured Shellac Top Coat. Next
use gold foil and again randomly dab in between the silver rainbow foil.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><u><span style="font-size: large;">Step 6:</span></u></b> </span><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Seal with another coat of CND Shellac top coat and
cure. Do not cleanse. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><u><span style="font-size: large;">Step 7:</span></u></b> </span><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Apply a third coat of CND Shellac top coat and cure
working on one nail at a time. Place a deep red Swarovski crystals in the
center of the nail (For Katy Perry’s nails, I used antique set synthetic rubies
from my client who is a jeweler).</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><b><u>Step 8:</u></b> </span><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Next use large square, gold metal studs and place
them around the center stone turning to look like a diamond shape. Place the
four studs around the center stone to create the look of an antique “cross”.
Cure nails. (I worked on one nail at a time so the studs wouldn’t slide
around.)</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><u><span style="font-size: large;">Step 9:</span></u></b> </span><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">If desired seal embellishments with a final coat of
CND Shellac top coat and cure. Cleanse to remove tacky layer. (For Katy Perry,
I did not apply a top coat over her embellishments as I wanted to leave as much
texture as possible). </span></div>

I am so excited to share it with you. Speaking of sharing, there has been quite a stir in the nail world. As many of you know, in 2010 for Fall Fashion Week, I coined the phrase "caviar nails" based on a look I created for Cushnie Et Ochs. It received a lot of attention and later controversy. Ciate, a nail manufacturing company, would send cease and dissed letters to bloggers who used my phrase. This was in response to a product they would be releasing in 2012 under the same name "caviar nails" which is now available in Sephora. Check out Perez Hilton's Blog where he shared his thoughts on the matter... and leave a comment too!</div>

Hi Everybody, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now that is is officially released, I am able to write about my August cover for NailPro. What do you guys think?!! I was a little nervous at first when Stephanie told me it was going to be a cover based on tattoos (because... anyone who knows me at all knows how much I DESPISE tattoos lol). Nonetheless, I had to rise to the occasion. Fortunately for me, the timing was perfect as about a month prior to NailPro's request, I was working in the Dashing Diva office on our new line of nail tattoos that will be released early of 2013. Luckily for me, there were a couple of samples that I was able to snag from the office and utilize on this shoot. </div>

After Stephanie Yaggy sent me her inspiration vision, I sought out my favorites of the nail tattoo samples that we had just received. From there, I made some sample nails and collaborated with make-up artist, Anthony Merante, who is amazingly creative. We agreed upon the above look. To match the nails tattoos I had chosen, Merante designed and airbrush a temporary tattoo to match. To add even further intrigue to the concept, I based my pallet with a flesh tone polish. I developed this look to really make the nails become one with our model's flesh. Using a method I conceived at a 2011 Fashion Runway Show for Cushnie Et Ochs, I mixed a sheer nude polish with Bare Escentuals mineral makeup. I added little bits of the mineral make up at a time in various shades until I arrived to the perfect match of my model's skin. I feel this really enhanced the look of the tattoos and completed the overall concept. The behind the scenes video will be up really soon on the NailPro website, so be sure to check it out! <a href="http://www.nailpro.com/videos/behind-the-nailpros">http://www.nailpro.com/videos/behind-the-nailpros</a><br />
<br />
I also just did an awesome shoot for Seventeen magazine that I will fill you in on next time. I feel really blessed to have worked with the awesome makeup artist, Romeo Jennings, from MAC. Stay tuned for more details on the amazing look we created.<br />

Everyone loves the classic French manicure, but the typical looking "French" is not edgy enough for everyone. Dashing Diva Colorfx is the perfect way to put a twist on this classic look.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is how...</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<ol>
<li>Apply Base Gel and cure (I prefer Gelish foundation).</li>
<li>Remove the tacky layer of the Base Gel. </li>
<li>Apply two coats of OPI Gelcolor in "Bubble Bath." Cure. </li>
<li>Apply Top Gel to seal. Cure. (I prefer Gelish Top It Off).</li>
<li>Cleanse the nail with 99% alcohol to remove the tacky layer. </li>
<li>Using Dashing Diva Colorfx in "Stark Statement," cut long, narrow, dramatic triangles with small scissors (as seen in the above photo).</li>
<li>Use pointed tweezers to remove the Colorfx applique from the plastic backing, and place them at the base of the nail to form a triangular "moon."</li>
<li>Apply one coat of Dashing Diva Gelife Base Gel and cure. </li>
<li>Apply one coat of Dashing Diva Gelife Top Gel and cure. </li>
<li>Cleanse tacky inhibition layer with 99% alcohol. </li>
</ol>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">We know Dashing Diva Colorfx can be used as either a full cover color or a French, but did you know that you can also create a "moon" or reverse French with these appliques? </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is how...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ol>
<li>Prepare cuticle area, shape free edge, and lightly buff nail surface (240 grit sponge buffer) to remove shine. </li>
<li>Clean nail surface with 90% or higher alcohol.</li>
<li>Size Dashing Diva Colorfx for each nail. Cut the applique in half (making sure the portion you are using covers the entire nail plate). Trim part of the clear French portion away with small scissors so it fits better around cuticle area. </li>
<li>Apply applique to nail plate (one finger at a time) placing the clear portion at the cuticle area of the nail to create a "moon" or reverse French. </li>
<li>Smooth applique over nail to adhere using your thumb or a rubber tipped cuticle pusher. Trim and file away overhanging applique to make flush with natural nail. </li>
<li>Use a dry lint free wipe to smooth the applique and prepare the surface for gel application.</li>
<li>Apply one coat of Dashing Diva Gelife Base Gel and cure (2 min/UV or 30 sec/LED).</li>
<li>Apply one coat of Orly Gelfx in Prism Gloss Silver over entire nail surface and cure.<span style="background-color: white;"> NOTE: For accent nails, use a dotter tool and apply Swarovski crystals in different sizes to outline the "moon" portion. Apply crystals into glitter gel prior to curing. </span></li>
<li>Finish with two layers of Dashing Diva Gelife Top Gel. </li>
<li>Remove tacky inhibition layer with 90% or higher alcohol.</li>
</ol>

I was so happy to see that seven of my eleven siblings (Yes, I said eleven!) also attended the festivities. It is very rare for all of us to get together in one place at the same time since we all have crazy schedules and live all across the country. I was also happy that out of all the family attendees, two of my most favorite brothers were there. They never fail to make me laugh! Growing up with eight brothers who constantly teased me was not easy! The crazy thing is it has not stopped and they continue to tease me even now being a grown woman! I wonder if anyone else has this problem??!!</div>

<span style="background-color: white;">I ended up deciding to drive from NY to Michigan with my son figuring he could share the burden of driving. It also wound up being the perfect opportunity for us to "bond." In the Fall, he will be entering his junior year of college. If any of you can relate, sons don't really like to talk to their moms as much at this age. This has been hard for me since we have always been so close. As a result, the 12 hour drive was a blessing in disguise and gave us the perfect opportunity to reconnect. </span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Of course, coming back home to NY was bittersweet, but there is a wedding next year that I am going to make sure I get back to Michigan for. Remember, it's always important to make time for family!</div>

Hey Guys,<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Guess what?! I am going to be in a book. My good friend, Ray Ransom, has written a book about his life. He is the one who inspired me to go to nail school, paid for my tuition, and helped me diligently study along the way. He is a big reason I am where I am today and I credit him for steering me in the direction of nails 25 years ago. <span style="background-color: white;">Be sure to read his book, and I hope he inspires you like he inspired me.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;">You can read the preview and order a copy of his book on the link below. </span><br />

Hi Everyone,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Wow! I can't believe it is the second week of July already. Summer is just whizzing by which means Fashion Week is right around the corner and so I have to start preparing for that very soon. Speaking of fashion and nails of course, Self Magazine's July Issue show cased Adele's Louboutin manicure. I was fortunate enough to be interviewed on how to create this popular look. See the pic above!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I was surprised to turn a couple pages further and see my quote on slimming manicures. This statement is so true as I have recently been switching many of my young, hip clients to the almond shaped nail and they are loving the way it slenderizes their hands. Be sure to catch onto the trend and read the quote below!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Speaking of trends, appliques are also getting a lot of attention these days. This morning I was called to do a very early (6am) manicure on Grammy award winning singer Pink. As a result, I had to get up and ready at 3am which is my usual time to go to sleep! As she has been steering away from gel manicures recently, I was awarded the perfect opportunity to present Dashing Diva's new Colorfx. One of the great things about Colorfx is that it will be available in 48 shades of neon plus 12 gliteratti by the beginning of August. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Pink chose "Never too Innocent" a pinky based flesh tone colored that went great with her skin and is versatile and goes with anything, which is what she requested. I also let her know that nude, flesh tone colors were really "in" for the upcoming season. You can watch her on the Today Show by viewing the link below. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm looking forward to Fashion week! I have already received phone calls from designers getting ready to select their runway looks. We are really trying to push Colorfx, so be sure to look for it this Fall on the runway!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Until next time... </div>

My busy weekend started in Chicago where I flew in for a few short hours to conduct a training session for our new Dashing Diva educators. I was literally in and out within an 8 hour time period! Saturday night I left Chicago and flew to L.A to get ready to judge the Nailympics. There I met up with my friend from Singapore that I met last year and some additional new international judges including the infamous, Iryna Giblett. It is always such an honor and privileged to be in the company of these industry greats and learn new things on how nails are done in other countries. Above is a picture of how it looks "behind the curtain" from a judge's point of view. </div>

<span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">After the Nailympics, I went to stay with my friend Katie Cazorla, from the hit reality show Nail Files. My last task of my busy weekend was completing the cover for the August issue of Nailpro magazine. Katie lives about 15 min. away from Nailpro's offices, so I always appreciate when she let's me stay with her when I have to do a cover. I can't wait to show you the work I did for the cover, but not yet... You will have to wait</span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"> until the magazine comes out, but it was an amazing experience and I got to use a brand new Dashing Diva product that will be available in January </span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">2013.</span></div>

Hi Everyone,</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This past Tuesday, Dashing Diva did a soft launch of their new Colorfx! We invited several of the top beauty editors to the Dashing Diva Columbus Street location in NYC. It was a huge success and everyone had a great time sipping their wine and tasting the hors d'oeuvres. They also had the opportunity to experience a Colorfx service complete with our Gelife overlay. It was interesting seeing which color they would choose out of the sixty options that will be available at the beginning of August. Our official launch will be at the Cosmoprof Show in Vegas at the end of July. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I was so happy to see Nailpro Editor, Kari Frost, at this event. She chose a shade from our Glitter collection- a great look for New York City! It looked amazing and she loved it. Check out the pic below!</div>

Right before the Editor Event, my friend from Singapore, Rachael, flew into JFK. I did not put into consideration the fact that she is not a U.S citizen and it took her three hours to get through Customs! I had to pick her up, drive an hour back home, and then drive over an hour back into the city! Of course, I was stressed and rushing to make the Editor Event on time (I was a real dashing Diva that day!) LOL.<br />
<br />
While Rachael was here I took her to get her hair colored with my long- long- long time friend and hair dresser Cookie. She did a great job making us both feel pretty. I'll be meeting with Rachael again in L.A in a couple days as she is one of the judges for the Nailympics. She also has her own blog, so check it out on the link below.<br />

One of the highlights of my week was the posting of another one of the videos I shot for the Wall Street Journal with Elizabeth Holmes. This one involves using Dashing Diva's Design and Colorfx.</div>

Well, tomorrow I am off to Chicago for a few hours for Dashing Diva's National Training. I will be going over application procedures before I fly out later that night to L.A to judge the Nailmpics. I will also be doing a Nailpro cover while I am out there. Yayyyy! I am going to be using Dashing Diva's next big thing, so be sure to stay in the loop!<br />

Until next time...</div>

Hi Guys,</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This week is rather uneventful in comparison to the past few weeks and what is to come in the next upcoming month. I'm so excited that my new client Audra McDonald won a Tony award last weekend. She looked gorgeous and I felt so blessed to be apart of her day with a classic manicure look. Due to her two performances in between my doing her nails and her being at the Tony's, she had to wear a nude, natural look. Check out the pics above! </div>

I also celebrated my birthday on June 6th. Friends from church took me out to dinner and Rachael Ray sent me out from her pedicure appointment with beautiful flowers and four bottles of wine. She also sent me out with specific instructions! As two of the bottles were over $500 (OMG?!!) she told me I had to make sure that I enjoyed them with someone I really liked. Basically, I was not allowed to waste them. The best part of it was me asking a random guy in the street to help me carry out all my pedicure stuff and gifts! It was too much for me to handle and I'm sure I liked quite comical... hoped no one took a picture of me!</div>

This past week, I was also happy to work with my favorite hand model Christina Ambers for a Head and Shoulders print ad. can't wait to see that come out. In addition, my make up artist client (Victoria Elizabeth Make Up) has been challenging me to create nails for her to post on Instagram. Here is one of the looks I came up with! There are more to come so make sure you stay tuned as I just created my own account. You can find me @pattieyankee :)</div>

Hi Everyone,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
June has already started out to be a crazy, busy month! By June 2nd, I was headed out to Orlando, Florida to attend the Premiere Show. As usual, I had the task of seeking out models for my Fashion Runway class. This time my search was a little unique... While educating in South Africa, I attended a trade show for a distributor there. Apparently, I met someone while working the show who had a sister living in Orlando, Florida. After tweeting for models, someone contacted me saying I had met their sister earlier this year in South Africa. My model, Mandy, told me her sister had gotten my tweet and forwarded my information for her to be a model. I thought it was so cool that my model indirectly came from a South African contact. You just never know who you'll meet! Below is a picture of me with the models. </div>

Dashing Diva had two locations at the show one for each of our major distributors. Again, we introduced our new Colorfx at the show and they were a huge success! Here I am below with the Dashing Diva educators at the BSG Booth. </div>

The weekend kicked off with the usual networking event hosted by Nails Magazine and Beautytech. I was so excited to be reunited with my good friend, Katie Cazorla, from the hit TV Guide reality show, Nail Files (which by the way, is in the midst of filming for its second season). I can't wait to see how crazy this funny girl will be this next season. Here we are below at the end of the Networking event with Hannah Lee from Nails Magazine. Two nights in a row, Katie and I visited the local Lebanese Hookah bar for dinner and of course... Hookah! Katie always manages to keep me out too late and I never fail to come back from events where she is attending drained and exhausted from trying to keep up with her boundless energy. </div>

My busy month continued with the opportunity to service new celebrity client Debra Messing, my usual bi-weekly appointment with Rachael Ray, and a mani/ pedi with Tony award winner Audra McDonald. If that weren't enough to fill my first full week of June, I also worked an event through Dashing Diva for Christian Dior where they launched their new Fall 2012 beauty products. I was happy to see my predictions for nude and flesh tone nail colors being carried out in Dior's upcoming Fall polish line. Here I am below with my team who worked this event. This event is always such an awesome experience... elegant, laid back atmosphere, a gorgeous view, great food, awesome people, and to top it off a goody bag of Dior products to die for!</div>
