Sally Hansen Offering Free Manicures Today in L.A.!!!

Who knew that bone marrow donation could equate to beautiful nails?!

Alright, so you don't have to necessarily donate your bone marrow, but you do have to get "swabbed" to help DKMS find potential bone marrow donors (because there are tons of leukemia and cancer patients out there that are in desperate need of the stuff!) and then Sally Hansen will give you a FREE manicure. (Something that I could totally use right about now because my nails are looking a hot sham of a mess....sigh). Where is all this greatness happening? Why, in Los Angeles of course! (Where I wouldn't mind being right about now. I always have so much fun when I go there.)

The event will take place today from 9 a.m.-8 p.m. in the Central Courtyard at the Hollywood & Highland Center, located at 6801 Hollywood Boulevard. (So you should totally go over on your lunch break...or just take a half day and tell your boss that you're helping out charity.)

Manicurists from Sally Hansen will be dolling up your nails using shades from their Complete Salon Manicure (which I've already raved about here on The Glamazons! The stuff is pretty amazing.) I also must mention that Sally Hansen is doing all these free manicures as part of their "Color That Cares" campaign and because they're trying to break the Guinness Book of Records for the most manicures done in a day, so why not help them out? This is a win-win situation for all parties involved.

If you go, tweet us a TwitPic of your finished mani!

Genie In A Bottle: New Nail Polishes from Sally Hansen

When I said before that I was going to try really hard not to spend any more money than I had to, this would include cutting out my weekly mani/pedi sessions. So hard because I'm the WORST when it comes to painting my own nails and having them look somewhat decent. With that said, I was beyond estastic to get a polish that actually works for me and my somewhat decrepit methods of applying the polish. An added bonus? It's super cheap [$6.99!] and can be found right around the corner at your local drugstore. I'm talking about none other than the Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure that features all five steps of a professional manicure in one. [Yes, you read that correctly. All five steps: base coat, growth treatment, strengthener, color and top coat.] It also contains a special wide, tapered brush that gives you the perfect application every time. I even used it in the back of a moving vehicle to paint my nails and it worked just fine. In fact, when I got to the event, everyone kept asking who did my nails...if only they knew. The polishes are also chip resistant and lasted me for about two weeks. In 42 magical shades, you'll be sure to find the right hue for you. [That's my favorite shade pictured above: Commander in Chic. I'm a lover of all things black and, since it's spring, I wanted to lighten up. So, essentially grey is the new black for spring.]

Another fab new fave from Sally Hansen that I must mention to you as well would be the Color Quick Chrome Nail Color Pens. Side note: I probably should have been using this instead of the actual nail polish while riding in a car, but I didn't. However, I do have it in a bag and have used it on the train for an occasional touch up. It's a cute pen that's easy to hold and the brush makes it easy to dispense just the right amount of color. I was so happy to see that it doesn't come out all gloppy and messy and the 8 molten metal shades that it comes in aren't streaky. The formula also contains Panthenol, Vitamin A, C and E as well as a UV protector to keep your color fresh. Genius! That's my fave shade above: Silver Chrome. These cute pens are $7.95 and can also be found at your local drugstore.

Test them out and be sure to let me know what you think!
