Mischo Beauty Loves The Emerald Door

I had sparkly nails for Christmas (Zoya's Diana, layered with Delilah), compliments of The Emerald Door, and guess what? I loved them! My visit to the new eco-chic natural nail spa included a manicure and pedicure I'll never forget. Not only were the services thoroughly performed (remember I'm a licensed cosmetologist, so I'm super picky!), but all products are toxin-free, and sanitation/disinfection and overall cleanliness were excellent. The decor of this cozy nail spa is GORGEOUS, and because my appointment was on a Sunday, I was treated to a mimosa. I enjoyed my visit and can't wait to go back!

Mischo Beauty Extra: Zoya's Reverie Spring Collection

As I write this post I'm seriously reminiscing about my recent trip to St. Lucia- probably because I wore a combination of Zoya's "Gwin" and "Lana" (last two nail colors above- far right) while lying on the beach- remember this Twitpic...

The nail collection above is Zoya's Reverie Spring Collection which includes:

- Laney
- Charity (not included in this collection, but perfect for spring!)
- Adina
- Happi
- Reece
- Gwin
- Lana

Described as "dreamy metallic oil slick looking" nail colors, they're all available now- here! So what's your favorite shade?

Mischo Beauty: Kiss Nail Files

It wasn't until I was in cosmetology school completing the nail curriculum, that I learned using the wrong nail file could damage your nails. Yes, there are nail files designed specifically for use on natural nails, acrylic nails, gel nails, tips, etc; and Kiss has an assortment that will probably meet your every need. So the next time you're shopping for a nail file, pay special attention to the nail type it's recommended for, or risk damaging your nails!

Mischo Beauty Superstar of the Week: Sophy Robson

This post marks the beginning of the "Mischo Beauty Superstar" series which I'm starting to simply bring to your attention and show love to the many beauty professionals not only working hard to accomplish their dreams, but who are sources of inspiration to me personally (you all know beauty is my passion)! I promise to keep the posts short and sweet because they're meant to be an introduction. My hope is that you'll visit their websites, view their portfolios and tell the world about them!

The first "Mischo Beauty Superstar" is celebrity manicurist, Sophy Robson. I first learned about her from following the London, Milan and Paris fashion week updates on Vogue UK's beauty blog. Sophy was creative director for nails for such shows as Louis Vuitton, Stella McCartney, and Vivienne Westwood. Her work has appeared in all of the top fashion magazines and you've probably seen her work in such ad campaigns as Yves Saint Laurent, Tom Ford White Patchouli and Bulgari to name a few.

She also has a nail salon called The Sophy Robson Nailcare Clinic at Fortnum & Mason in London, where she's available for appointments. Be sure to visit her website, check out her blog and view her AMAZING portfolio! And, if you're in London, get booked with her! Enjoy.
