If you’re a manicure aficionado, you may have heard of dip powder. If not, allow us to explain: Instead of using liquid nail polish to coat the nails, a dip powder manicure involves a glue-type and finely milled, pigmented powder which hardens when it hits the air. Like with a regular manicure, your manicurist will start by applying a base coat. After that, he or she will dip each finger individually into the colorful dust, brushing the excess off your skin, and applying a topcoat to set it....

afton travers wedding rings Credit: Kayla Barker What do you think of when you imagine the perfect proposal? If you’re like most people, it’s something straight out of a rom-com, complete with one partner dropping down on one knee while the other gives a resounding “yes!” While it’s certainly true that this does happen, it’s definitely not always the case-sometimes things pan out a little differently in real life. In fact, in some cases there’s no “yes” at all, or the “yes” may come days, weeks, months, or even years after the proposal....
