Let me help you add a little sparkle to your day!

Hi there, I’m Ailene—Welcome to Glimmer and Grace!

I’m Ailene, the heart behind Glimmer and Grace.

My entrepreneurial journey began in 2018 with Color Street, where I started sharing 100% real nail polish strips and a line of clean, vegan, cruelty-free beauty products. This transformative experience has allowed me to connect with an incredible community of fellow stylists and my Glimmer Gals.

In 2024, my mission to empower women continued with the addition of Empower Wellness with Ailene, where I offer innovative wellness solutions to help women thrive. But I believe we’re more than just beauty. I’m here to support women who want to build an additional income stream by sharing the products they love—empowering motivated women to create their own success stories, just like I did. I’m excited to add a little extra sparkle to your day and help your inner beauty shine!

About Ailene

At Glimmer & Grace, I’m passionate about empowering women to live their best lives. Every woman deserves encouragement, support, and a community that uplifts her. My journey began in 2018 with Color Street, where I discovered the magic of 100% real nail polish strips. These little beauties not only make achieving salon-quality manicures easy and affordable, but they also help women feel confident and express their unique styles.

In 2024, I took this passion a step further by joining Make Wellness as a founding affiliate and starting Empower Wellness with Ailene, offering innovative solutions that support women in thriving holistically—mind, body, and spirit. I’m here to cheer you on as you embrace your journey and find your sparkle. Learn more about this by clicking the link in the header above.

I call western Wisconsin home, but I proudly hold onto my Minnesota roots, making me a true “Minnesconsin Girl.” I’m also blessed to be married with five grown children (including two wonderful kids-in-love) and three adorable grandchildren. Additionally, I have the honor of serving my community as the “office mom” at our local police department, where I support some of the most dedicated law enforcement officers around. This role fills me with joy as I get to help others in a meaningful way.

At Glimmer & Grace, I’m here to help you add a little sparkle to your day and inspire you to shine bright—whether you’re discovering a new shade of polish or lip color, exploring new opportunities, or just looking for a friendly face. I can’t wait to be part of your journey!

A Few of My Favorite Things

When you enroll as a new Stylist this month with the physical Starter Kit, you’ll receive a $100 USD / $135 CAD / €100 EU Product Credit to use in January as a welcome gift!

Here’s why now is the time to shine:

  • Low start-up cost: The physical Starter Kit includes everything you need to launch your business.

Fun Legal Stuff: There are no guarantees that any Stylist will achieve any level of income or rank success. Achievements require skill, consistent work, perseverance, and effort. For more information, including the average earnings of a Color Street Stylist, see Color Street Income Disclosure.

Sharing is Caring!

Here’s a Frequently Asked Question:

How are Color Street strips different from other nail products? I’ve tried something similar, and they never worked well for me.

You’ll see the BIG difference the moment you try Color Street for the first time! While many nail products offer a variety of designs, Color Street stands out because it’s the only nail strip made from 100% real nail polish.

Here’s what sets us apart:

  • 100% Nail Polish: No vinyl, glue, liquids, or powders.
  • No Heat Needed: Apply directly, with no special tools or electricity required.
  • Easy Removal: Comes off effortlessly with nail polish remover.
  • Zero Dry Time: Apply and go, with no waiting around.
  • Quick Application: Create a beautiful pedicure in minutes!
  • Share with Friends: Perfect for gifting, sharing with friends, or even hosting a beauty social event to spread the sparkle and fun.

It doesn’t get any easier than this!

It’s More Than Pretty Nails

Color Street is a company with a huge ❤️. Several months of the year, we launch a Color Street Foundation fundraising strip. The goal of each of these fun designs is to generate funds towards the month’s charity of choice through a donation for each package purchased.

In the past 4 years, we’ve had 30 awareness campaigns that have blessed 66 charity partners with more than $6 Million donated. WOW!! I’m so honored to be part of this organization. We look forward to supporting more charities in the upcoming year, including awareness campaigns focusing on:

  • Breast Cancer
  • Alzheimer’s & Dementia
  • Military & Veterans
  • Autoimmune Disorders
  • Suicide Prevention

All of our Foundation designs available for purchase on the website are included in the Buy 3, Get 1 Free bundle option; however are not redeemable with host credit.
