A Fresh Coat Of Polish: Pure Ice Flirt Alert.....

Hey Everyone!!

I had this odd craving for the perfect pink polish. I wanted a pink polish that was pretty on the hands and pretty on the toes! I just knew, I was going have to spend some money, like buy an OPI polish or something to get the perfect shade. In my opinion, even though there are great mass market/drugstore polishes, the prestige end polish just doesn't fail when looking for a specific color polish. 

Welp, I got proved wrong last week.

I found this Pure Ice polish in Flirt Alert. I bought it on a whim, thinking it was just ok.

Flirt Alert is two coats of creamy opaqueness!!! And this photo was taken on Monday, after applying on a busying Friday. I got tip wear, I NEVER have tip wear, only chips. And as of this Tuesday, Flirt Alert is still going strong. I'm stunned, I have two other Pure Ice polishes and they don't hold up like this. What did I do different? I don't know!! I feel like I have on a gel polish application.

DIY Kate Spade Glitter Earrings........

Hey Everyone,

I was trolling Instagram on Friday night and came across a post from someone I follow about DIY Kate Spade glitter earrings. I was like "The glitter earrings I've pinned about a million times on Pinterest are an easy DIY?!?!?"

The Earrings. They retail $38 a pair and are sold out.

I was in Walmart the NEXT DAY to buy supplies.

Yep....Did that!! Here's how....

You will need:

A clear rhinestone stud pair of earrings. I chose the ones sold at Walmart because those are the ones most of the DIYs on IG and Pinterest are using because they are around the same size as the Kate Spade ones. But you can use any rhinestone stud earrings you like.

Glitter polish. I have a TON of glitter polish.

Clear Fast Dry Nail Polish.

Basically you apply the polish to your liking. So if you want the earrings completely opaque with glitter, you will do a couple of layers.

 Allow the layers to dry a bit before applying another layer. That method allows the glitter to adhere. 

When you have the coats to your liking, apply a clear of coat of fast dry polish all over the earring, including the metal parts, so that it will not tarnish.

I did my earrings at night, so I allowed it to dry overnight and they were perfect for next day wear!

Here are some gold ones I made. I'm OBSESSED! I need to make some silver glitter ones next!!

Pin Of The Week! How To Remove Wrinkles From Your Clothes Without Ironing.....

Hey Everyone!!

I grew up in an ironing/iron EVERYTHING household. My Granny even ironed the sheets and curtains. So, being wrinkled or going without ironing is so foreign to me! I saw this super cute info-graph on Pinterest that show different ways to knock wrinkles out of clothes. I often do the throw it in the dryer method.

A Fresh Coat Of Polish! City Color Nail Polish in Citrus.......

Hey Everyone!!

These gloomy January days have me, of all people, craving some color. At least on my nails.

 I dug City Color Citrus out of my stash. It reminds me of sunshine which I terribly needed.

Ok, January, your time is up, sis!!!! Bring on some cool sunshine!

A Fresh Coat of Polish! Sally Hansen Insta Gel Strips Starter Kit......

Hey Everyone!


I picked up the Sally Hansen Insta Gel Strips Starter Kit during the recent CVS Beauty Clearance for 75% off and $7.49. What a deal, right? Plus, I have been dying to buy this kit but the regular price and the countless iffy reviews I read and watched of the kit was a put off.

(source)

I got some red polish shade kit. lol! I don't even know the name of it. The application is really easy. If you are familiar with Sally Hansen Polish Strips ( which I LOVE) then these are the basically the same application with a clear gel polish on top and cured with a mini lamp.

I'm the kind of girl who actually reads instructions...so I read the instructions and did as followed.

And this was the end result. I thought it looked decent but the strips were not adhering as tightly as the original polish strips do even with the gel coat cured on top....

 Fifteen minutes later...two of them were peeling OFF. I just took all off. What a FAIL!!!

I thought about what I may have done wrong and I did everything right, so this kit was a damn fail, bro.

Have you tried the Sally Hansen Insta Gel Strips Starter Kit??? Talk to me.....:)
