~Fresh Coat~ Broadway Nails imPress Press On Manicure in Working Girl...

 Last Saturday I received my Vox Box from Influenster ( check out the post HERE) and in the box were Broadway Nails imPress Press On Manicure in  Working Girl. Can you believe it....REAL "old school" press on nails have hit the scene again!

I would save up my whole allowance to  go and buy some of these at TG&Y! lol! Its true what they say, "What is old will become new again."


First, I spotted imPress Nails at Walgreens...the designs were cute...alot more cuter than the ol' red ones I use to buy...

What makes these different from the press ons that require glue is that these don't require glue...they are the old school sticky tab ones without the sheet of sticky tabs. The sticky adhesive is already inside the nail. You just peel the tab off to reveal sticky and press on you natural nail....

This is how my nail came out after a full application..... I like the crackle design and square tips. Its like the perfect crack design! lol!

On my left hand...the ring and the middle finger nails had no definited fit in the pack. I almost didn't put them on because of that but I found something closer in fit. I rather be to big in fit than too small....

My real nails are just as long as the press ons!! They are an "active length"....

Well...because my nails are about the same length as the press ons...they lift up....or it might just be these nails. I've worn press ons with the glue by two other companies and they don't lift even with my nails soo...you figure it out.


I'll keep you all posted on how they rock for the weekend...but I'll be straight up...the first nail that comes off...they all are coming off.


**UPDATE** 12/17/2010- One nail came off this morning...*shrugs* So I took them all off...so that was a total of 14 hours of wear.



Disclosure: I received this product complimentary to test through Influenster’s VoxBox program.

~Glamour Gifting Suite~ Laura Mercier Mini Lip Glace Set.....

I haven't no one's Christmas gifts. I roll like that. lol! I'm a  Christmas Eve kinda shopper.:)

I love gifts for myself, bought by myself, because I know what I like. Makeup period makes me very happy. I have couple of gifts for the beauty/product addict in your life that will make her smile just as I do!

Laura Mercier Mini Lip Glace Set

A high-shine, perfectly pigmented lip gloss with rich, long-lasting colour and brilliant shine that creates the appearance of fuller lips. Any skin tone is virtually enhanced by creating a subtle contrast in texture. With the unique blend of moisturizing, anti-aging, anti-oxidant and plumping ingredients provided by the Laura Mercier Lip Complex, the non-sticky gloss formula applies smoothly without feathering or bleeding. 

The set includes five colors: Sparkling, After Hours, Rose, Quartz, and Blush......

My take:

These are some the softest, supple beautiful glosses I've own in a while! Maybe its because I haven't splurged on the "good" stuff in a long bit but I was too impressed with these. $48 for the set, and I totally understand why....the cheap stuff doesn't feel or look like this good on me...and compared to what a single Laura Mercier gloss ( $22) cost...this is a great set for that beauty addict who needs a splurge product in her life....like ME. I will say that I loved all the colors except Quartz which a deep bronze color that totally looks dull on me. The nude shades: Sparkling, After hours, Blush...perfect on my skin tone and build able.

This set is actually sold out on two sites I saw it on. WOW.:)

What do you think of LM Mini Glaze Set? Would you splurge?

I received a free product (or products) for review purposes. . I did not receive any form of compensation from the company. All opinions are my own and not influenced in anyway. My reviews are my personal and honest opinions

~FOTD~ NYX Eye Shadow in Exotic Green and Seafoam Green/ Revlon Lip Butter in Raspberry Pie....

Awww....doesn't that look all holiday-ish? lol!

I wore NYX Eye Shadow in Exotic Green and Seafoam Green that I won on the NYX FB page. I also wore my Revlon Lip Butter in Raspberry Pie. I love that Revlon Lip Butter!! Its smooth and creamy but not oily feeling and the color is gorgeous. Once I got my whole face on, I realized I look very Christmas-y in the face with no intention of doing so. lol!

I was also wearing a green Gap sweater and a raspberry colored sweater vest.;/

Not a huge fan of NYX...but a win is a win and I'm wearing what I got.....
