Spa Chicks featured in Biz Bash....read below and click here for full article with photos... http://www.bizbash.com/newyork/content/editorial/20005_fashion_week_promotions_focus_on_pampering_over_branding-heavy_decor.php Fashion Week: Promotions Focus on Pampering Over Branding-Heavy Decor

Unlike the glam look of the Golden Globe suites in Los Angeles, the pop-up hotel environments of New York's Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week are simpler affairs, with minimal build-out and brand signage. However, similar to last month's West Coast efforts, the lounges inside the Empire Hotel are all about salon activities, with free blowouts, makeovers, manicures, and even fake tanning for the harried attendees of fashion's big showcase. Starting on Thursday, companies—including jewelry line Lia Sophia, Nintendo, and daily newspaper AM New York—plied editors, buyers, and celebrities with touch-ups from Bobbi Brown, haircuts by John Allan's, and manicures from Spa Chicks On-the-Go inside comfy hotel rooms. Even official sponsors AOL and Mercedes-Benz pampered folks around the Lincoln Center campus, providing free beauty demos inside the AOL StyleList.com mobile "makeover bus" and free rides in the car company's new 2012 CLS 63 AMG.

Marie Scalogna-Watkinson appears as Bridal Beauty Expert at Martha Stewart Weddings Party for Better TV

noreply@blogger.com (-) — Fri, 05 Nov 2010 17:03:00 +0000

It was a night of glitz and glamour at Martha Stewart Wedding bridal market bash a few weeks ago. Essie Cosmetics was one of the high end sponsors of the event and we helped bring their nail polishes to life. At the event, I was interviewed by Better TV (note: no notice, thus no lipstick) about the hot color trends for Essie brides (it's all about metallics!) and my expert tips on when and how to get that perfect bridal manicure. Check it out here!

Spa Chicks Obsession: Nail Fraud nail art!

noreply@blogger.com (-) — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 23:52:00 +0000

I am in LOVE with the new nail art from NAIL FRAUD (http://www.nailfraud.com/) which transforms your boring old fingertips into dazzling displays of art. This is an at-home, do-it-yourself product that produces salon-like results, a look similar to Minx. Essentially they are nail films that you apply to your clean dry nails and then you file off the excess film at the tip of your nail. The results are quick and dramatic and you don't need any particular skill set to apply them. There's no glue or top coat - in minutes they are applied and you are ready to go.

I chose leopard NAIL FRAUD last Thursday night as an experiment. I applied it myself in less than 1o minutes resulting in a completely new set of hands that were ready to hit the town. I was so excited that the tip that was filed clean kept its clean line and feel - it was not jagged. They looked perfect, but how long would they last? I was guessing I wouldn't last an hour, especially that I am pretty hard on my hands and nails from cleaning and frequent hand washing from taking care of my 16 month old. But after some pretty hard wear and tear the application stayed stayed put. I finally removed them myself on Sunday because I felt a little foolish sporting leopard nails at the pediatrician's office - but my guess is that they would lasted all week. Fun for your hands but also a party for your toes!

This product is perfect for anyone who wants to make a quick, dramatic change to their look and explore their "wild side" without the commitment of hard to remove salon nail art and its high price tag. Priced at under $12.00 - its cheaper than most manicures and includes 2 applications.

Nail Fraud - http://www.nailfraud.com/ will be sold at Urban Outfitters stores in September 2010 and will be in Ulta Stores nationwide in October 2010.

It's been an incredibly busy spring and summer here at Spa Chicks On The Go. I've been a bad girl and have not updated this blog since April - but now hope to post 1-2X per week. I do actually keep my company facebook page updated...check us out and become our friend at www.facebook.com/spachicksonthego and to stay in constant contact.

We have done about 30 high profile events in the last few months. Some events include the editorial launch for New Balance, an press event for Caeser Stone countertops, the press launch for Morticia's Nails with Bebe Neuwirth, a blogger event for Ecco shoes, an AOL blogger event and well as the Unilever House with Suave, Vaseline and Dove. Now we are in full Fashion Week planning stages and will be sure to keep you in the loop of where we will be next.

Tomorrow (Monday, August 16) I've been asked to be a guest on Martha Stewart Living Radio. The show will air tomorrow at 10 am. I am SO excited to be on her show and will be sure to share my impressions with you later this week. I'll be discussing pre and post sun skincare tips and I have tons of great ideas and products to share with you all. I will have a full list of the products I discussed on the show here later this week. I'm Sullivan County bound for a few days right after the show for much needed R & R..and will post everything when I return.

XOXO

They smell amazing and they have natural antibacterial properties. I can't wait to try the other scents! Seriously, one of life's little treats.
