One Short Iced Coffee Please

The weather here in DC has be like it usually is, bi-polar. Cool some days, hot others, humid from time to time. The warm days make me thirsty and want to gulp down some thing cool and refreshing. This day I had to get some iced coffee with cream. Usually I drink it black but this day was different. This day I had to see if my polish was true to its name; and it is.


Sally Hansen Complete Manicure Iced Coffee




With SH Hidden Treasure on top (please ignore the middle finger, I was comparing NYX's holo glitter and there is no comparison).

L'Oreal. These need to go back in the ocean.

Short and not so sweet, just like this polish.  L'Oreal's spring colors. I'm so happy I only got two and I promptly returned both because they were terrible. The colors are nice but the formula is thick, clumpy and bubbles like crazy. Buy and try at your own risk. Don't say you were not warned.

Water's Edge (I really wanted to throw it in the water, yuk)


High Tide (This needs to be washed out with the tide)

Shine On!

I remember reading books growing up. Lots and lots of books. I don't remember which story I read but I remember it talking about birds liking shiny things. They'll steal whatever it is and fly off with it. Well that's how I feel about Milani's Metals. I'm hoarding & hiding them. I passed up Orly's foils and never felt bad. I think that Milani has created excellent dupes that are affordable. There are six colors in the collection, I got five because the clear-ish white one did not appeal to me. Enjoy, I know I do.

I'm baaaaaack.... :-P

Well, I said I'd post my pics and wouldn't you know it, I couldn't get the pics off my camera, then when I could, my DSL went down at home. I was really committed to updating and keeping my word so I'm here at work slaving away. I have lots coming up for you. Some will be just NOTDs but I also have Milani Metals, Sally Hansen's spring colors that I liked, and whatever else I came across as I was pounding the pavement for polish.

There will be a giveaway in July and it will include more than just one polish. Stay tuned for that.

To my Nail Polish Fanatics over at "Stepford", I miss you guys but I'm not gone from there, I just don't post......yet. LOL Just call me the lead singer of da ...

Slacking....

Well, at least I'm true to my name. LOL I have not up dated in ages.

In true slacker form, I've been *ahem* lazy aka slacking off. I'm still doing my manis but not posting. I will fix that soon... Right now I'm really digging on the spring colors particularly pastels and pastel or light shade shimmers. Desperately awaiting the summer collections and budgeting for some really expensive brands.

My cuticle nipper broke so I'm going to "invest" in a Tweezerman brand nipper and a glass nail file. I hear that glass files are supposed to be better than the traditional emery boards but I don't understand how. Anyway, I'm going to try one. I'm trying to cease clipping my nails, yes, I'm a clipper. ☺

I have more polish to purge. I will do more giveaways but not sure how or when.

That's it for now. Thank you so much to all of my followers.

China Glaze Spring 2010 Up and Away Pastels

It seems that China Glaze has a hit on its hands with the Up and Away collection. I only purchased the pastels because I like pastels and I'm in love. One coat is enough for coverage but two coats is best for an opaque look. Minimal streaking and easy application.  Excuse the air bubbles, that was the OPI top coat not the CG polishes.

A quick visit to the mall today solidified this hit as I was stopped by sales people and shoppers alike about my nails. China Glaze you owe me $93449349324235 for repping your products! LOL
