Nail It at CVS/pharmacy Nail HQ™.

It's a fact. Women are obsessed with their nails. CVS/pharmacy says that nail sales are booming. That's why they are making more room in their stores just for all the great nail innovations that us women want.

The new Nail HQ™ is now in more than 2,000 locations! This little section of the store, in mine at least, is right at the end of the cosmetics section and cannot be missed. The cube like Nail HQ™ department offers access to drugstore firsts like the new gel nail technology from Sally Hansen and SensatioNail, and trend-setting launches from brands like essie and Nuance Salma Hayek. It is super convenient and always affordable.

I, for one, love that my favorite polishes are local and easily accessible. Check out a few of my favorites from essie, COVERGIRL, L'Oreal Paris, Sally Hansen, NUANCE and Revlon.

Of course I had to create a little holiday manicure myself. I used COVERGIRL Nail Gloss in Forever Festive with NUANCE Salma Hayek Nail Lacquer in Goldstone on one nail as an accent.
