Let's add some sparkle to the month of frights and delights!


Welcome to October

Hey there, Reader

A Big Thank You!
Let me start with a big Thank you to everyone who joined me at Ladies Night Out and the Brazen Beef Fall Fest. I had so much fun chatting with you!

This month brings so many exciting updates, and I’m especially honored to begin with something close to my heart.

Nails with a Purpose: Breast Cancer Awareness Month
In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness, the Color Street Foundation has released two beautiful, limited-edition nail strips. Proceeds from these designs will support organizations doing life-changing work:

  • Rise in Pink – a pink shimmer ombré with ribbon motifs
  • Limitless Light – a pink and teal glitter ombré with ribbon motifs

With these sets, the Foundation will be donating $5,000 in total:

  • $2,500 to Living Beyond Breast Cancer, providing trusted information and community support to more than 600,000 people
  • $2,500 to METAvivor, funding research and awareness for those living with metastatic breast cancer

These awareness sets are available now, but please note that Host Rewards cannot be applied to them.

This cause is deeply personal for me—my grandma was a breast cancer warrior, and years ago I walked in the 3-Day for the Cure multiple times to honor her and others impacted. Wearing these designs is more than a style choice, it’s a way to share hope, strength, and support.

Vino in the Valley Fall Swirl Sip & Savor

Come visit me on Saturday, Noon to 8 PM.

  • Shop my full stash of nail polish
  • Sip and savor a beautiful day
  • Enter to win a peptide giveaway!

Because of the predicted heat, I won’t be bringing makeup or lipsticks with me. You can still shop those anytime at Stash.AilenesGlimmerNails.com.

I’ll also be answering your questions about BioActive Precision Peptides, but I won’t be sampling due to the weather. Nobody wants to drink a sample that's sat out in the heat all day!

One frequent question I get is how do these peptides compare with Collagen Peptides. Aren't they the same thing? The short answer - nope - they're different in function. Check out my recent blog post to learn more.

Host Shade: Frankensparkle

Host and close a qualifying Beauty Social in October and you’ll receive Frankensparkle—a fog gray strip with black flakes and green, purple, and pink glitter—FREE. Close a $300 party and you’ll also earn the Midnight Magic Bundle, which includes 1 set of Frankensparkle, 1 Noir Gel Eyeliner, and 1 Amethyst Gel Eyeliner.

💌 Color Play Theme: The Luxe Edit

Color Play Theme: Caramel Café

This month’s Color Play Club theme captures the cozy warmth of a café, think caramel tones and creamy latte-inspired designs.
