The beauty of today's top fashion and style magazines lies as much with the people behind the scenes as with the well known starlets and supermodels that grace the covers each month. One such beauty maker is Jackie Saulsbery (aka: Jacqueline Renee' of All Star Nails). Known for her dynamic personality as much as for her incredible manicures and pedicures, Jackie is a familiar face on editorial fashion and beauty sets, at fashion week (see 2009 spring RTW Diego Binetti show story here), backstage and in the private sanctuaries of celebrities. She is also a huge fan of all products Zoya and Qtica. When asked to describe her Secret Weapon's recently she said... "For pedicures, I’d have to say the Qtica Smart Spa line. The sugar scrub takes off any ground in dirt and really smoothes skin … clients/models alike love the scents and the results. With Manicures, I use a lot of Qtica Nail Growth Stimulator, which many of my celebrity clients swear by – that stuff really gets nails into shape quickly for me. When it comes to color, I’m proud to use Zoya Professional Nail Lacquer because the polish itself is great. The formula glides on easily, covers and doesn’t chip for days." A peak inside her kit shows all her favorite Zoya and Qtica products.
Harper's Bazaar, November 2008 (UK): "Creating a cover (Peter Blake photographer) that makes you look twice is every magazine editor's dream - and challenge. The November 2008 cover of Bazaar is a real dream cover. All the elements come together - from the jewel-encrusted masthead to the swishy movement in the main image of 40-year-old supermodel Stephanie Seymour. The colour palette is both cool and elegant, the main coverline - The Icon Issue - jumps out and promises an issue packed with things you want to read about and look at. Bazaar is aimed at a sophisticated, discerning readership who know exactly what they want from a magazine and won't be fooled by gimmicks. Regular readers will love this cover - and I expect they'll pick up more than a few new fans this month too."
