In a lovely article, Better Homes & Gardens showed the summer season polishes and mentioned a few favorite professional brands: Essie Cosmetics in Hi Maintenance, Jessica's Lavender, and OPI in Timeless. Their article on the do-it-at-home manicure included a mention of Seche Vite, Jessica's Bend Don't Break base coat, Mehaz's Cuticle Combo Pusher, OPI's Green Tea Pedicure Scrub, and and CND's Glossing Buffer Block. Celebrity manicurist Ji Baek weighed in with some good comments, and our own industry style mavens OPI's Suzi Weiss-Fischmann and Essie Cosmetics' Essie Weingarten were quoted.
