While out and about the other day, I was close to a Sally's so naturally I had to go meander through the store. Truthfully I was hoping to find the Finger Paints Special Effects collection. Sadly for me, they didn't have it. (This collection must have just flown off the shelves, right? *sigh* So bummed I didn't get my hands on ANY of them!) But I consoled myself with a pack of clear magic-grip

I have been lemming the Gelish kit from Sally's since I first heard about it. But with the price tag that goes along with it, I knew I was not likely to get my hands on it. So when I heard that Nailene was going to be releasing their own line of gel nail polish, I was tickled. SensatioNail costs $50 for a starter kit, which includes EVERYTHING you need to get started. (Unlike the Gelish

When I first saw the Gem Crush display I wanted them all. I still do to be honest lol, y'all know how I love my glitter nail polish! But at $8 a piece I probably won't get the entire collection. I've picked up two so far, I might get one or two more but that will probably be it.  Up today is Lady Luck. This is a clear base with burgundy micro glitter and larger (but still small) holo hex

If you are anything like me, you love fragrances and have dozens of perfumes and body sprays at any given time. They last "forever" so why not stock up on them, right?  Well... maybe not so much.  We all know the rules of cosmetics when it comes to expiration dates and products like foundations, eye liners, lip glosses etc. going bad. But, this applies to your fragrances too.  I know,

As previously mentioned, this kit was one of my Christmas gifts. I absolutely adore it!  There is a larger palette that contains 5 eye shadows, 5 lip colors and 2 blush duos. The smaller palette contains 6 eye shadows and 2 cream eye liners. And the third part of this kit is a travel sized brush set.  Up first, the larger palette. This palette has a cool feature

Things are finally starting to turn around and get back to something a bit more normal. Thank you for understanding while I took a much needed break. The end of 2011 was not easy for me, that's for sure. 2012 is being kinder so far, and hopefully it will stay that way through the year.  I don't have time to make a proper post just yet. I will be busy this weekend, as well. But Monday I ought

Wow. I didn't realize how long it had been since I last posted. I always underestimate how busy I get this time of year. Between all the holidays and birthdays (loads of birthdays this time of year in my family!) it's a steady stream of chaos. I don't know how it's possible - considering it's like this EVERY year - but I always somehow forget how crazy things get. This year was extra crazy

Over the past week or so I managed to break nearly every one of my nails. Short. I hate when my nails are short. Normally I'd just shrug it off and just pamper them a bit while I let them grow out again.

My bottle of Dr's Remedy "Positive Pink" arrived this morning. And naturally, I had to use it right away. (Because what fun is new nail polish if you don't try it out immediately?) This is a lovely pink creme polish. Depending on the lighting it looks either like a deeper, Barbie pink or a lighter soft pink. The formula is a little thin which means it requires a little work to apply it well.

Throughout this month many companies have special promotions and products to help benefit breast cancer research and other organizations dedicated to helping those whose lives have been touched by breast cancer. Even professional sports teams get in on the "think pink" of October an don pink gear to support the women and men who have

I've got a little series of Halloween themed tutorials for you. Most of them are free-hand designs, which means they're not great but I do the best I can with my limited artistic skills. I had planned to start working on these tutorials sooner, but ended up not getting to it till now. So, I did all of them in one day simply because if I didn't do them all at once I probably would not have

No mundane grocery shopping trip is complete without a stroll through the cosmetics department. It just takes the drudgery out of things to look at all the pretties there, you know?  Last week I spied the Footloose display from Salon Perfect. We all know Salon Perfect for their false lashes, right? (Well, most of us do I suppose.) Well... there was nail polish with this display. Including

If it was you (or if you know what post I am talking about!) please let me know and I'll pop your link into this post. I read this post about using straws to do splatter nail art and loved the idea and wondered why on earth I had not thought of it myself.

This is one of those things that you sometimes assume everyone already knows, but probably not. So I figured I would make a quickie post to share.If you make mistakes when applying your nail polish - by this I mean you get some polish on your cuticle or on your fingers around your nails - do NOT wait till your polish is dry to fix it/clean up! These mistakes are much easier to clean up when the

This is quite possibly my new favorite red polish.  This is 2 coats; one coat was ever so slightly sheer but you could certainly get by with just one coat if you were in a bit of a rush. This is a gorgeous red polish PACKED with red and gold micro glitter. The formula is pretty much perfect, it was very easy to apply. Not too thick or too thin.

Eyeko spent all summer hyping up their "total makeover" and their new web site. Now that the new look of Eyeko has been revealed, what do you think of all the changes? I am personally pretty disappointed with all the changes. The look and packaging used to be adorable and set the brand apart from others. But now it's just boring.

Sorry for the major lack of posts recently. As long-time readers probably know, this is the time of year that things start to get crazy busy for me.

I have used up a touch over half my bottle of Misa Denim & Lace. Sad. Seriously probably my favorite nail polish ever. I don't know what it is about this color and the name Denim & Lace but in my head it's a perfect name for the color, and the color just fills my head (and heart) with such beautiful images... I'm strange, I know. lol Anyway. Today's NOTD is 2 coats of Misa Denim & Lace. I added

This is the second set of Fing'rs Edges glue-on nails I bought recently. They lasted a little longer than the previous ones, I got 5 days out of them before they were starting to lift and come off and I just removed them this morning. Cute though while they lasted. Giving my nails a breather now and hopefully they will grow back quickly.

It never fails. Right before a special event I break a nail ridiculously short. And then I'm bummed because I can't do anything really pretty with my nails for said event. All my nails get clipped down short. And I look at them with disgust and wait impatiently for them to grow back. Since I wanted my nails to look half way decent for a recent event, and the break was painfully low (smile line.

I recently purchased a couple new polishes from Zoya. I don't have many Zoya polishes. Honestly I was not impressed by the first set of polishes I bought from them a couple years ago - I thought it was over priced for what it was. And the price has increased since then, too. However, no self-respecting nail polish addict will completely tun their nose up at any brand just because a few colors

I was able to get some swatches of the Glitter Sniffer colors I got in my sample pack. However... my camera and I are not getting along today at all.

I can't afford a new computer. At all. *sigh* I will have to try to get the computer to the tech soon to get it checked out and hopefully he can get

And today's NOTD.  Started out with two coats of Misa Denim & Lace then used Jafra Burgundy to stamp from Bundle Monster ip BM03. And I was bored so I added some rhinestones to ring fingers and thumbs. Not sure I like it but at least it gave me something to do for a little while.  The Jafra polish took some work to get it to stamp well - probably won't use it for stamping again. I really just

I was sorting through some files on the computer and came across this NOTD from way back in February that I could have sworn I posted but apparently I didn't. Maybe I dreamt that I posted it. Or maybe I did post it but now I'm just being dense and completely overlooking it on here. *shrug* If it's already been posted, sorry for posting twice.

I *finally* got my hands on a couple crackle polishes recently. I love the look of crackle polish but haven't owned any since the early 90's. And the ones I remember using back then (CoverGirl) were not the best... but then again I didn't know as much about nail polish then as I do now so maybe it was pure user incompetence but regardless I still loved the stuff back then and still love it now.

I decided to go for a red and gold NOTD a couple days ago. I couldn't find the gold polish I wanted to use though so I had to improvise. I also just wanted something fast and simple so I just did a quick free-hand diagonal design; normally I'd have used some masking tape to be sure the lines were straight and all but... well. Just didn't feel like it this time. This is two coats of FingerPaints

This is from last week actually, and at this point it's very worn and needs to go. Will be redoing my nails tomorrow, most likely. But anyway, I *finally* found my stamper which had gone missing. Little bugger fell off my nightstand (you know me and my bad habit of doing my nails late at night... in bed... worst thing ever, I must stop that!) and rolled under the bed.

I have always preferred lip gloss over lipstick. But lately I find myself preferring lipstick. I couldn't begin to pinpoint why my preferences are changing, but regardless it's set me on a search for the perfect lipstick. For ME, that means a "my lips but better" sort of color. You know, a color that so closely resembles your natural lip color that you could swipe some lipstick on and nobody

Hey everyone. I'm sure most of you have noticed that my posts have been a bit stretched out lately. I apologize for not posting more often or as regularly as I had before. But I seem to always have a lot to do and not enough time to tackle it all anymore. As soon as it seems like things are slowing down a bit and I'll have more time to blog, something else pops up that I need to take care of.

 A while back I picked up a powder and blush from the new Physician's Formula Happy Booster line.  (All pictures are outdoors in shade with no flash) First up, the blush. The shade I chose is "Natural". This is a really pretty soft pink shimmery blush. It's well pigmented and has a very smooth, silky texture. And for the powder I chose Translucent. (No point in swatching this one... obviously.

I kind of love this color. ♥ This is two coats in natural light (sunshine) and no topcoat. (Though it was still a bit wet when I took the pictures - it does dry down a touch less shiny.) The formula is slightly thick but nothing difficult to work with. Not really a whole heck of a lot to say about this one. It's 80's style hot pink.A perfect Summery/beach going color.

I've been wearing a lot of darker nail colors lately and I wanted to change it up and do something softer and girly. So of course, I ended up deciding on a French mani. Soft and girly but still fun and amped up a bit with some glitter and rhinestones. I started off with a coat of Color Club's Milky White base coat. Then I applied two coats of L'Oreal "I Pink I'm In Love". I actually wanted to

As far as the review part of this goes, my thoughts on this palette are about the same as for the 96 Eye Shadow Kit. All the colors are shimmery, some more so than others. Some mattes would have been nice, but it's not too bad. The glitter cream eye shadows are ok but I'd never use them as cream eye shadows - I dab a small bit on the outer corner of my eyes when I use them just to add a touch of

I just thought I would pass this on. I received an email from Viva la Nails that their stock of Konad Special Polish is on sale for 50% off - no minimums required and no special codes needed. Only valid while supplies last so be sure to get there quick!  http://vivalanails.co.uk/sale.html Happy shopping ladies!
