Gluten Free Cosmetics list

Sorry this took so long to get out.  This type of list requires a lot of research.  While many products have one or two gluten free items, I was trying to focus on brands that are gluten free.  Since I am the only author of this blog it takes a while for me to get all the research done.  Here is the list of gluten free beauty brands! A few of these brands may contain corn products in the form of xanthan gum.  The X is what that brand makes.  Have fun, and remember to keep yourself looking great in a gluten free way!  Please contact me if you know of any brands that I have missed.  I would love to add them to the list.

Nail Polish: Nail Scribbles

Ever doodle in class and just make a mess out of lines.  Even though you made a complete mess it looks kind of neat.  Did you know that you can do with your nails? This look is based on the coffee designs.  If it works for coffee why wouldn’t it work for nails? 

Dyed Agate Nails-Manicure Monday!

I attempted to do the watercolor look on my nails and ended up with a white that didn't work well and peeled off.  So instead of the white base I used a sheer nude, it changed the look to more of a dyed agate look.

Step one Put on a neutral base.  I used sheer nude.  I used two even coats so that I had a good base for my color.

New Year's Nail Idea

Around Halloween I was lamenting in the fact that I couldn't find a silver or gold crackle top.  While I was doing the last of my Christmas shopping I found both gold and silver crackles.  This is what gave me the idea for amazing New Year nails. 

Start with a sheer or neutral nail polish.  I had a little iridescence to mine because I like the look. 

Allow that to dry completely.

Without a tip guide put the crackle just on the ends.  Use only one layer and put it on slightly thick. 

Again allow that to dry.

Then put on a thick clear coat to add some fantastic shine and make the polish look wet.  

End result is that your nails look like they were dipped in silver or gold. The lack of a guide makes it looked more like it really is dipped.

I did a gold accent nail just to show the colors.
