HOW IT ALL BEGAN
It’s very possible that no one loves nail polish more than Lauren B. As a little girl, she often set up a nail salon in her garage, where she performed manicures for her grandmother, and any other family member willing to play along. She would set up her station at an old ironing board, with a white poster-board sign offering manicures for $5; while dressed in overalls, snap bracelets, jellies and rocking out to her favorite Spice Girls cassette. She begged her parents for rocks & minerals, art supplies, and most importantly new nail polish shades, which she organized in color groups. By the age of 15,  she yearned for the hottest polish colors and was obsessing over the newest nail trends that kept her in Cape Cod convenience stores all summer while everyone else was at the beach.

As time went on, well-meaning grownups advised Lauren to bag manicuring and try a career in something like law or medicine. After graduating college and a year into perusing her career in medicine, she realized there was something missing. Lauren moved from the east coast to Los Angeles and began working for a luxury hair care brand. Through this experience she  learned the ins and outs of the beauty industry. Lauren seized this opportunity, and as she moved into the high-end beauty world, her knowledge for luxury brands, and interest in nail care evolved.

“I was traveling a lot and always on the go, so I got to try polishes and ingredients from around the world,” she remembers. “If we were in a salon that had a manicurist, I was right there picking her brain and getting insider tips and tricks”. Lauren got tired of getting manicures, that did not last nor live up to her lengthy demands. Lauren was disgusted with the alternatives, and the damaging effects they had on nails. There had to be a better way for women like her to have nail polish last-without having to compromise health for a simple luxury like nail polish. The first thing she realized was that there was no perfect brand: Some lines had great colors but they didn’t last long enough. Others stayed put but contained harsh ingredients or gradually lost their shine. None of them offered the right balance of luxury and ease. That’s when the light bulb went off: I can make what’s missing.

Along with the support from her husband, parents, close family and loved ones all whom inspired Lauren to make her dream a reality.  Lauren then carted her demanding wish list to the world’s top chemists and set about creating the perfect brand. The result, she says, is “the perfect, two-week, do-it-yourself manicure for busy women. The polishes swipe on expertly, easily. They dry fast, stay delightfully glossy and chip-free for at least 14 days, and don’t cost a fortune. Every color is one that I’d wear; every treatment is one that I swear by. There is even a collection of perfect nudes for every skin tone – though actually, I wear them all.”

They’re all a joy to use, even on the go and they are all inspired by the beauty of L.A. the place Lauren now calls her home turf. Our products are proudly made in the U.S.A. and never tested on animals. Everything we create is vegan-friendly and free of harsh chemicals like formaldehyde, DBP, toluene, formaldehyde resin and camphor.

“For me, everything’s come full circle,” Lauren adds. “As someone who truly believes that nails are the best accessory—and is fanatical on the subject—these are my personal bests, inspired by all things beautiful. I hope they’ll be yours, too!”

I'm a model. Want to know an industry secret for the perfect manicure? It's this. This is a base coat called a Nail Perfector. This one is by Lauren B Beauty. It's a really reasonable price and what it does is it smooths out all the ridges underneath of your color manicure so you get a salon quality finish and it's super smooth. You don't have those annoying discolorations or ridges and bumps underneath of your color and it makes everything look 10 times better. So this is an industry secret I highly recommend. If you're not using one, get one.

Here's another beautiful polish from Lauren B Beauty. This one is in the shade 33 carats. It's a gorgeous glittery polish and I could see it working perfectly either alone or on top of any other color. Right now I'm applying it on top of their Beach House Vibe shade and I love the way it turned out. Plus it dries super quick.

Stay with it, you don't need to water it down No one else has the same story, ah Stay with it, please Stay with it, you don't need to water it down No one else has the same story, ah

This is the Lauren B Beauty nail polish in the color LA Smog. LA Smog is a gorgeous deep creamy cool tone gray. I am such a fan of grays as a neutral color. I think they look so beautiful on the nails and just added a sense of chic sophistication. I love the coverage with this one. Two coats is really all it needed for that nice creamy coverage.

So you say you wanna get away We don't need a plan I could be your escape Take you to a place Where there's no time, no

Hi everyone! This beautiful polish is from Lauren B Beauty. It's vegan, 7 free and cruelty free. It has a thin applicator brush which makes it easy to be precise as you apply it. And this shade is called Beach House Vibes. I love that this shade is dark enough that I only need one coat to complete my nails.

Ma, can you come help me with my nails, Ma? I was really excited to try the Lauren B Beauty nail polish line for the first time. This ended up being a really beautiful shade of blue. Unfortunately, my nail polish skills are not really up to snuff, but the results were pretty good for little old me just doing my best with them. I called in Mom's help for my hands, especially with my right hand. And she also commented that the nail polish was really thick with good coverage. So we actually debated only doing one coat with a top coat on it, but we ended up doing two coats just to be safe. I'm glad I did that because I can be pretty hard on my hands sometimes. It was smooth and dried reasonably quickly, and this is the final result without any top coat on it. I'm pretty happy with this. I'll try it again.

So I wanted to post an updated review of the Lauren B Beauty nail polish, although my toes still looked pretty good. Unfortunately, after a few days, the edges of my nails were already starting to wear down. I had been doing some light housework, but nothing too crazy. So it's pretty disappointing that even with top coat on, they looked this rough after just several days. The good news is that that stuff comes off really easily, much easier than pretty much any other nail polish I've ever used. So I might use it again in the future if there's a time where I only want to wear a color for a few days.

So I picked this Lorraine Beauty nail polish in my November flip box. I really love this beautiful shade that was the main design and I picked it. But I'm really impressed. This is my day 3 wear and you can see there is no chip off and the shine is still there. I also love that they are cruelty free and vegan friendly.

If you're into clean beauty and you're still using ingredients like this in your nail polish, let me put you onto something different. This nail polish from Lauren V Beauty is so pretty. It's in the shade Mignon Melrose. It's a very light lilac-y color and it only takes one coat to get the nail completely covered. It's a super opaque polish, very highly pigmented, and it's very smooth. I was really impressed with the application process. It's also vegan and cruelty free, and of course it doesn't have those seven toxic ingredients. I definitely recommend this product.

It's been a week since I used the nail polish by Lauren B Beauty Meet Me On Melrose and I have to show you the wear of this. I am so impressed. There's a little bit of minor chipping on a couple of my nails on my right hand, but overall the wear has been phenomenal. I have not had wear like this from any other nail polish I've tried. Definitely get on this. You are going to love this nail polish.

If you're looking for a show-stopping alternative to pinks this spring, check out our Pale Sand Paradise. This is my favorite purple. It's a very creamy lilac. This is what two coats looks like. Beautiful, full coverage. It's an amazing purple, free of harmful chemicals and vegan.

So you say you wanna get away We don't need a plane. I could be your escape Take it to play Wait, there's no time. No show

In summary, the Nail Polish - Meet Me On Melrose in Dusky greyed lilac color by Lauren B. Beauty offers impressive wear and longevity. It provides a beautiful dusky greyed lilac color that is sure to enhance your nails. While there may be some minor chipping, the overall performance of this nail polish is exceptional.
