New Nudes by Huda Beauty
Pigment All of the mattes and shimmers have stellar pigmentation on my medium/honey/tan neutral undertone skin. They do translate as different colours for me. But I have seen people with much fairer complexions state that all the colours translate as the same thing for them. So generally, while I do think that whatever works for me will most definitely work for someone lighter. And that is what I have seen even with this particular palette online for the most part. But I have heard some negative reviews from lighter people about it being muddy for them. I cannot apply the same logic with darker skin people, because whatever works for me does not necessarily work for darker people. But I have seen many darker people loving the palette.

Is It in the Genes, or Does Your Nail Care Routine Need Help?
For as long as I can remember, my family just had “bad” nails. Our genes cursed the women in our family with short stubby nail beds, paper thin peeling nails, and nails that were just plain... well, ugly. I often painted my nails, only to be disappointed by how unflattering even the brightest colors appeared on my unattractive beds. What’s worse is I was a compulsive biter. All attempts to quit just ended in failures, and even when I wasn’t biting per se, my fingers still ended up in my mouth. I’d still gently gnaw at the white free edges, and separate the skin from under my nail beds. Any growth was weak and flimsy, so I’d concede and return to my nasty habit. I had once bitten a hangnail that had become so badly infected that I ended up having it lanced at an ER trip. “Why even bother quitting biting if I have weak nails anyway?” I often bargained with myself. So, I either ignored my nail stumps, or shelled out $60 to get them done. Both options weren’t sustainable for me or my bank account. That’s when I finally said, “Enough is ENOUGH!”
