My Must Haves: I Heart My Nail Art With Sally Hansen

Tie-Dye Nails


I am a member of the Collective Bias®  Social Fabric® Community.  This shop has been compensated as part of a social shopper insights study for Collective Bias and their client.

I've been seeing all these fun nail styles lately so I decided it was time to try some of them out.  I'm really into my tie-dye jeans these days and wanted to go for a same vibe on my nails.  

I noticed online that WALGREENS had the SALLY HANSON SALON EFFECTS REAL NAIL POLISH STRIPS in so many different styles (I got Tie-Dye For) and was dying to check them out.  I decided to get a couple of colors of SALLY HANSEN HARD AS NAILS XTREME WEAR too so I could mix and match the pattern a little bit.  I used my Balance Reward card from Walgreens and got my ordered shipped to me in no time.


What I loved most about the Sally Hansen Salon Effects Real Nail Polish Strips was how easy they were to use and how professional they looked.  I got them on super fast.  I'm so using these all the time now.  Take a look at the photo below to see how many fantastic choices Sally Hansen has!!






I finished off my look with Sally Hansen Hard As Nails Xtreme Wear to mix it up a bit as you can see in the photo above.  Who knew I could make professional looking nails.  With Sally Hansen products from Walgreens it's super easy.   Now my Chic Mama readers can enjoy getting the products I used (Xtreme, Salon Effects, Diamond and Insta Dri polishes) for a $1 off sale thru 5/25!! You try these amazing Sally Hansen products and you'll love it too.  Check out all my inspirational images on my google + album.  You can do it too #IHeartMyNailArt https://twitter.com/SallyHansen!!!

Oldie, But Goodie: E. Baldi Restaurant



I went to E BALDI this week in Beverly Hills and I have to say I still really love this place.  The small space makes it so intimate which is perfect for a night out with friends or date night.  Their dover sole is out of control good.  I love the simplicity of the dish and it always leaves me wanting more.   Make your ressy now.

Chic Mama Beauty Knows Where To Get That Summer Haircut

I felt like I needed a change to my look and was inspired by all of the new shorter cuts everyone is getting for spring and decided to cut my long locks off.  901 SALON is the only place I trust to do my hair.  Nikki Lee and Riawna Capri, the owners of 901, have built this chic salon from the ground up and have made it one of the top salons in Los Angeles.  Their client list is a who's who in young Hollywood and that is because they are incredibly talented.  Check out my before and after photo above to see how amazing Nikki is.  I absolutely love my new cut.  They also have the best Braid Bar in town and can literally braid whatever style you can possibly want.  Not only do they do color and cut, but they are masters at extensions as well. They are out of control good at anything you could possibly want when it comes to hair.  Book now and tell them Chic Mama LA sent ya.

La Brea Tar Pits Is A Must See


I went to LA BREA TAR PITS last week for my son's school field trip and he absolutely loved it.  This is so sad to admit, but I've lived in LA for 16 years (I can't believe it's been that long!!!) and I had never been to La Brea Tar Pits.  I'm so glad I finally went to check out this very unique piece of LA history.  From the bubbling asphalt pits, to the excavation sites, to the museum where they house all of their amazing fossils, your whole family will enjoy the La Brea Tar Pits.  Plan your trip now.

Oldie, But Goodie: BLD On Beverly Blvd



One of my favorite kid friendly brunch spots in LA is BLD on Beverly Blvd.   I always get their fried egg sandwich and french pressed coffee (they serve breakfast until 3pm!).  As for my kids, they love the comfort food on the menu like their killer pancakes.  They also get crayons and paper to pass the time before the food comes which all of us moms know can be a life saver.  And now that they are now taking reservations for brunch for parties lager than five people so there is no more waiting to sit down.  BLD is the perfect weekend spot.
