First try with Jamberry

I've heard all sorts of things about Jamberry nail wraps but finally decided to try them myself. My neighbor has been raving about how great they are and so far I have to agree!  They were quick and easy to put on (heat up, smooth out, and file tips).

A major plus is that when my kids kept inturupting I didn't have to worry about wet polish getting smudged and could still fully use my hands. I just went right back to doing my nails when I had another moment to do so.

Now for the test- will these last 10 to 14 days? Even glue on fake nails don't last that long for me so this will be interesting.  Between horse dirt and diaper changes I plan to keep my hands free from gloves and put these to the test.

We're Ba-ack! Beautiful Borghese :)

Well hello again- finally right!?! First off, thank you all so very much for your well wishes- Papa is doing well and finally out of the hospital (again- hopefully for a long time).

This beautiful polish is "Bella Berry" by Borghese. Not Twilight related, at least I don't think, lol. Very nice brush, near perfect application, and stunning color earn this baby a whopping 5 Blings!

Forget Now!

This is Sinful Colors - Forget Now. It's a really pretty Hot dark red pink with lots of glass shimmer and flecks in it. It went on thick but nice. This is three coats with a top coat of Poshe'. Happy Palm Sunday! 4 Blings

Cherry Fashion

This is Rimmel - Cherry Fashion. Love the big brush. Like the color. The application was streaky and this is three coats with no top coat. Could be better could be worse. The day was gorgeous! I had to get some pics of this with some real cherry blossoms! 3 Blings

Seeing Red!

UPDATE: Wow, My Hubby saw this polish on my hands he said he loved it and thought it was super sexy and HOT! Other blogers have said it seems to be a man magnet, I guess they weren't kidding!

I thought I'd take a break from purple for a bit and do something totally different. This is Essie - Fishnet Stockings. I had a hard time getting the color right. This is a dark, very vampy blood red. Not a very spring color but a nice change! This is two coats, the application was ok. One coat of Poshe' on top. Really love the shine on this! For the base I used Essie - Fill the Gap. So far I really like it! It dried fast and gave a smooth finish. 4.5 Blings

New Rite Aid Displays

New Limited Edition Sally Hansen Insta-Dri's. Some of these look very similar to other Insta-Dri colors, however a couple are different- like the mango color for example.


We have never seen these before! Color Fever by petites- does anyone know about these? Are they any good?

WetNWild icon eye shadows. These are beautiful!

Prestige Cosmetics Limited Edition Eye Shadows. The colors aren't that original, but they would look great for Patty's Day.

All in all we are loving Rite Aid!

Lava Hot!

This is "Lava" by Hard Candy, and it is red hot! Flaming Red/Orange with yellow shimmer that is sure to catch attention. Love it, love it, love it! What more can I say? 5 Blings

OPI Look Alikes

Over at Right on the Nail I was looking at the OPI Hot & Spicy Pics and was thinking hmmm, I think I have one just that color. So I pulled out "My Chihuahua Bites" and I think they are Dupes. What do you guys think? My Pics were all taken outside so the color came out a little light. This was three coats. 3.5 Blings

Oh, and I think that I caught that Glitter Bug from Manicured Manatee. It seems to be going around. This is two coats of NYX - Red Glitter (looks orange to me). Over my Chihuahua Bites. I think this looks really HOT! 4 Blings
