Long time, no post! It's been a month actually. I have no excuses, I guess I've just been a little lazy with the blog. But I wanted to share my current manicure because it is on trend for the season.</div>

Last night I was deciding what color to paint my nails. I knew I wanted something on the dark side. I reached for Essie Downtown Brown. I've had this color for a couple years but it's been a while since I've worn it. After I was done I realized that this color is almost like Oxblood, which is in for this fall. You can see that it is a deep browny-red, almost like the color of blood. I know it doesn't sound nice, but the color is really pretty. It's dark enough, but not too dark that it looks black. I actually was planning on buying the Revlon polish in Vixen, because it fits into the Oxblood category. While I was at Target today I found Vixen & it looked almost identical to my Essie color. So I just saved myself a few dollars! If you don't have Downtown Brown, I would recommend the Revlon polish since it's cheaper. </div>

I'm really glad that I pulled this out! I will be wearing this quite a bit this fall & winter!</div>

I plan on doing a couple Halloween inspired manicures soon, so stay tuned for that. And if you are still reading this blog, thank you! I've been absent lately but I hope to get back to posting more regularly :)Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802139859550012569.post-68358972237565211772012-09-14T12:39:00.003-04:002012-09-14T12:39:39.289-04:00Lorac Pro Palette<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hi guys! Yesterday I went to Ulta & picked up a new "toy"! I got the Lorac Pro Palette. It is an eyeshadow palette with 8 matte shades & 8 shimmer shades. I heard about this palette about a month ago & couldn't get it out of my mind. I needed this like a hole in my head. But let's face it, makeup is not really about need. For me it's all about want! Plus I had a gift card left over from my birthday! I figured this was the best way to spend it! </div>

I've only had this for one day but I already love it! I think this is a great neutral palette, and at $42 it is a little cheaper that the Urban Decay Naked palettes. I love the range of matte & shimmer shades. This really has all you need. I used Gold, Garnet & Sable to create a beautiful autumn inspired look. Today I'm wearing Champagne & Mauve for a simple light look. I'm really loving Mauve! It's what I hoped Tease from Naked 2 would be. The shadows are so soft & creamy & really nice to work with. If you passed on either of the Naked palettes, this might be worth checking out. You can buy the Lorac Pro Palette at <a href="http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?productId=xlsImpprod4500053">Ulta</a> & <a href="http://www.sephora.com/pro-palette-P374709">Sephora</a>.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802139859550012569.post-74242075519663562542012-09-10T15:02:00.001-04:002012-09-10T15:02:14.990-04:00NOTD - Triangle Nails<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hi everyone! Today I'm wearing the trendy new triangle manicure. I've been seeing this lately & wanted to give it a try. I really love it & it's so easy! You just need two colors & some tape :) You can do this design on every nail, but I decided on just two accent nails. You can also vary the size of your triangle. Just place two strips of tape criss-crossed over your nail to create a triangle & paint. Then remove the tape & you have perfect little triangles :)</div>

I chose one of the new fall colors from Essie called Miss Fancy Pants, with Wet N Wild Ebony Hates Chris. I'm loving this new essie color, it's a warm gray, perfect for fall. This is my second time wearing this color & I've only had it a week!<br />

Happy Friday! Today I have two polishes to show you :) I'm warning you now, I'm in the Fall zone! No more neons for me!</div>

They are both new colors from L'Oreal. The first is called The Perfect Trench, part of the London collection. It is a mustard yellow & I love it! I've been wanting a mustard polish for a while & when I saw this I had to have it. This color is not for everyone, but I really enjoy it! It is perfect for fall :)</div>

Next up is Downtown Chic, from the New York Nudes collection. I also love this color. It's a great reddish brown for the fall. I decided to add some glitter with Sally Hansen Ring-a-Ding. This glitter is really pretty, but I'm not feelin it on this manicure. It's all chunky glitter which can be hard to place on the nail. I wish I had left it off. During the fall I love having short dark cream nails. I think this polish is best on its own.<br />

What are you wearing for fall?Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802139859550012569.post-43988655904648442172012-08-15T08:00:00.000-04:002012-08-15T08:00:02.439-04:00Mini Haul!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Saturday I went shopping & picked up a few items from the Harmon Face Values inside my Bed Bath & Beyond. I love shopping there because they seem to have new products sooner than other drugstores & they are usually cheaper. Plus I get coupons for BB&B that I can use, such as $5 off a purchase of $15 or more!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I was looking for the Fall Essie collection, but they did not have it. Instead I got some products from the new L'Oreal New York Nudes collection, plus a Revlon nail polish I've been wanting for a while.</div>

I think these colors are so pretty & perfect for Fall. I had a hard time just three! But I wanted to try a few out, especially since I've never used this gloss before. I'm happy with my selections though :)<br />
<br />
And Revlon Smoldering is a polish I've wanted for months now. It came out earlier this year & I always look at it in the store. I finally decided to get it. It's a silver metallic with pink/purple duochrome.<br />

Today I wanted to show you the manicure I rocked last week :) I'm wearing Color Club Peace Out Purple with Sally Hansen Rockstar Pink as my accent. I really loved this combo! Peace Out Purple is almost a neon, but doesn't dry matte, which I love! It's a really bright magenta. I decided to use Rockstar Pink because the colors really went well together. I like this particular glitter because it is pretty opaque. I've had this color since last summer & I think this is the first time I've worn it! It was fun to "shop" my nail polish collection & come up with a new look!</div>

Hi everyone! So I was looking at my blog posts today & realized that I haven't posted in almost a month! That is crazy! So if you are still with me and reading this, thank you! I actually thought I already posted pictures of this manicure. I know that I wrote a post & uploaded these pictures. So I'm not sure what happened or why it didn't publish. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This color is a new one from Essie called Penny Talk, from the Mirror Metallics collection. This was the only color that interested me. It is a copper/rose gold color & I love it! It is difficult to work with though. Sometimes when you go over a spot, it takes it off & you're left with a little bald spot. I had to allow some time to dry between coats. But the color is gorgeous! </div>

I'm so sorry for my lack of posting recently!

Hey guys! Happy 4th of July! I wanted to post my manicure for today really quickly. I decided to keep it simple and go with a classic red. I don't think you can ever go wrong with red! Ironically, the color I chose for my Independence Day mani is Double Decker Red :) As in double decker buses, as in London, as in the folks we fought for freedom! Anyway, with all that being said, I really love this color! I've had it for a while now & dug it out of my polishes that I stashed in a box. I think this color will take a place on my nail rack from now on!<br />

Today's manicure was inspired by a recent trip to the mall! I was walking past Anne Taylor Loft & admiring their window display (I wish I had taken a picture!) But they had a really pretty summer backdrop that was shades of aqua, orange & yellow in an ombre effect. So I wanted to recreate that with my nail polish. I chose Essie Turquoise & Caicos & Ulta Sun-Sational. I love this aqua color & thought the yellow, while too much on it's own, would work well as an accent. It's bright & summery!</div>

Today I wanted to give a little review on a new product. You've probably already heard of these little gems, but I wanted to give my input! These are the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains. Try saying that three times fast! They are a lip stain with a built in balm. I believe there are 12 colors, although I'm not exactly sure. I have three (for now:)</div>

As you can see, they are in pencil form, similar to the Clinique Chubby Sticks (which I have never tried) and they are retractable. So it's nice that you don't have to sharpen them.<br />

Of the three colors, Honey is the most natural color, it is a mauvey-pink. Sweetheart is a bright pink that looks really bold on my lips. Rendezvous is a coraly-orange.<br />
<br />
The color payoff on these is really good, but the lasting power is totally amazing! I wore Sweetheart one day, then took a shower & washed my face. When I was done, I still had pink stain on my lips! I will say that with Honey, the color is not as obvious. I think you get more bang for your buck with the darker colors. They go on smooth & have a nice balmy texture. After a while the balm goes away & I just apply a clear chapstick. The color is still there.<br />
<br />
If you find the color too bright, you can apply a thin layer and sheer it out a bit. That's what I do with the orange color :)<br />
<br />
I think these are worth checking out, especially the darker colors if you want that nice stained look. There are a couple red shades that I would love to have for the fall!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802139859550012569.post-7571010488201591342012-06-20T17:56:00.002-04:002012-06-20T17:56:08.359-04:00NOTD - Cinderella Mani!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hi everyone! Happy first day of summer! We welcomed summer today with a record temperature of 98! Today I'm sharing my "Cinderella" manicure. I'm wearing China Glaze Kinetic Candy with Sally Hansen Glass Slipper over it. Kinetic Candy is a pretty dusty, sky blue cream. It came out in the spring collection. Despite buying this a few months ago, this is the first time I've worn it. I don't know what took me so long because it's a gorgeous color! Then I decided to put a layer of Glass Slipper on top. Again this is a polish that I had not worn before. It is a flakie polish that is very subtle. It looks like little glass flecks on the nail. The soft blue color reminds me of Cinderella's dress & of course Glass Slipper is self-explanatory! I really love the look of this manicure! </div>

During my birthday week, theBalm cosmetics were on sale on <a href="http://www.hautelook.com/">hautelook</a>. So I decided to buy myself a birthday gift :) I had been wanting the mary-lou manizer but didn't want to pay full price. So when I saw it was 50% off, I jumped on it! Then I decided to take advantage of the sale & buy the Nude Tude palette as well. I've heard great things about both products. Well I finally got my order today! I was so excited to get my hands on it, but wanted to take some pictures first. </div>

I can't wait to play with all the colors & put some looks together. A couple shades I love right off the bat are Selfish, Sultry & Sophisticated<br />
<br />
Have you guys tried this palette or any other products from theBalm?Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802139859550012569.post-16851235206884014582012-06-01T09:18:00.002-04:002012-06-01T09:18:19.477-04:00NOTD - Neon!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hi everyone! Happy Friday! I'm back with a NOTD. I know it has been a while! Today's color is Hang-Ten Toes by China Glaze from the new Summer Neons collection. I picked up this & one other color. I really like this color, it's a nice cool, hot pink (if that makes sense!) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But I have a problem, can you tell what it is? I have pretty significant tip-wear & I haven't even been wearing this for 24 hours! I painted them last night. I've noticed this before with other China Glaze polishes. So I'm not sure if its this particular brand, or maybe my top coat. Or maybe the fact that I filed my nails last night as well.

I do really like this color & the collection is worth checking out. There are a few other colors I might want to get.<br />

Hi everyone! I know I haven't blogged in a while, but I'll be posting this week :) For now I wanted to share my Memorial Day manicure! It was inspired by Jen at <a href="http://polishandpearls.com/">Polish & Pearls</a>. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I used Sally Hansen Pacific Blue, Sally Hansen Cherry Red & Sinful Colors Snow Me White. I used a white nail art polish for the stripes & then used Revlon Stunning on my ring finger.</div>

Recently I discovered the amazing world of Target beauty coupons! I am in love with Target! I go there multiple times a week. It is a great place to go when you just need to get out of the house! I get myself a Starbucks, grab a cart & wander through the beauty aisles. So as often as I do this, I can't believe I never knew about the printable coupons from the Target website. There are lots of coupons at any given time, for a variety of products. I don't know how often they change, so I usually check about once a week. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here are some purchases I made recently all with <a href="http://coupons.target.com/#?lnk=GlobalPromise|&intc=263580|null">Target coupons</a>. I picked up the Rimmel Stay matte powder & Rimmel lipstick in Airy Fairy, each with a $1 off coupon. I also got the Revlon Colorstay eyeshadow quad in Moonlit, the Revlon lip butter in Berry Smoothie & the Revlon Colorstay nail polish in Provence each with a $2 off coupon! So I was able to save $8 on these products!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
This is great for me because I usually buy my makeup from Target or Walmart. It's always cheaper than the drugstores. The only exception is when drugstores have 40 or 50% off sales, or there is a product I want that I can't find elsewhere. And I believe that if you have a manufacturers coupon, you can use it with a store coupon. I've heard that, but have not tried it. I'm sure their website has all the information.<br />
<br />
As I mentioned previously, there are coupons for other things as well, like cleaning products, grocery items, even clothes! So definitely check it out if you haven't already.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802139859550012569.post-30991231032869048922012-05-05T10:06:00.000-04:002012-05-05T10:06:12.798-04:00NYX Nude on Nude Palette<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This week I tried my first ever half moon mani. It is really simple to do. All you need are reinforcements, the white stickers that look like donuts! I started off with a coat of Sally Hansen Time to Shine. It is a really pretty bronzy-gold. I let that dry completely. Then I put the stickers on my nails down by the cuticle. You can choose to make your half moons bigger or smaller than I did. Then just paint your next color and gently peel off the stickers when you are done! I painted one hand, then took off the stickers, then did the same on the other hand. You could wait till that layer is dry before taking the stickers off, but I didn't have a problem. </div>

<br />
For my first try, it turned out pretty good. I think next time I will cut the stickers in half, because some of my lines were not perfect. The sticker didn't lay as flat as I would have liked. But I like the look of this manicure, and you could do so many color options! Have you tried the half moon mani?<br />

You can watch it<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svsYQAmYZW8&context=C4e1c285ADvjVQa1PpcFNeKhVuiFiljHyt5dKmiBS39Mb4cWkFiPI="> here</a>. I decided to do it as a blog post. The purpose is to go through your makeup & beauty products and find one thing to represent each color of the rainbow. I thought it sounded fun & I'm always up for a tag! I also included a nail polish with each beauty item, since my husband jokes I have every color of the rainbow :) Oh, and you all know the colors, right? ROY G BIV!<br />

Overall I think there is a good variety of colors to work with. I haven't used them yet on my eyes, so I can't tell you how well they perform. But I'm excited to play around with them. And a few of the lip colors look pretty as well. The middle color in the second picture is a nice coral color, which I've been loving for spring!<br />
<br />
I got this palette because I've been lusting over the Naked & Naked 2 palettes from Urban Decay. But I can not bring myself to spend that much money on eyeshadow! So maybe this will satisfy me :)<br />

I've been noticing a few trends for nails this season & wanted to share them with you. If you've been reading my blog for a while, you know I love an accent nail! I like to paint my nails, then use a fun glitter on my ring finger.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
But now I'm adding my pinkie into the mix! Using those two fingers for glitter just adds a little extra sparkle!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
China Glaze Fast Track with Milani Gold</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkGVunxgUsQ5KCepJVD1CJAUCqQp80n3JlgGSr1vC3JxXDK0YeBrln1aLENTLAPeEX0i_e2nOW-k0U9jQ2Azi1b06Y1y2w0Xwpls72zJjjlLDX4uoO0vDLYd9dzphA61y6pnoyDyJFcnhm/s1600/IMG_3272.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkGVunxgUsQ5KCepJVD1CJAUCqQp80n3JlgGSr1vC3JxXDK0YeBrln1aLENTLAPeEX0i_e2nOW-k0U9jQ2Azi1b06Y1y2w0Xwpls72zJjjlLDX4uoO0vDLYd9dzphA61y6pnoyDyJFcnhm/s640/IMG_3272.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Another trend is the Ombre manicure. This is when you use several different shades to create a gradient effect.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifHszxeVxc6QNr0p8orkPw-IEyQ-IBpafG6DyhJaOXrQf00ebBbVoWTrWZOFs0saUxhLPi_HoC9csA49aPduGo89a8fp314V2v7cxpjb_Ni_UOiV99OOR4ksP-IeutzaqDRePrWsz6sy02/s1600/IMG_3288.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifHszxeVxc6QNr0p8orkPw-IEyQ-IBpafG6DyhJaOXrQf00ebBbVoWTrWZOFs0saUxhLPi_HoC9csA49aPduGo89a8fp314V2v7cxpjb_Ni_UOiV99OOR4ksP-IeutzaqDRePrWsz6sy02/s640/IMG_3288.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNsiKvhwNoszhwE3_NIY9EwLejTUzpj-uy-uiwQrXsV9y3TL_bq_nkFXELtaNa0b5Qi8QfNUgEmi8SI7QM6rChnUaoUewUKdHKv-Uw9r_MOt1lLkXkf6rc1YsOvj6UKsnlQ0BTcyiSr8ov/s1600/IMG_3290.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNsiKvhwNoszhwE3_NIY9EwLejTUzpj-uy-uiwQrXsV9y3TL_bq_nkFXELtaNa0b5Qi8QfNUgEmi8SI7QM6rChnUaoUewUKdHKv-Uw9r_MOt1lLkXkf6rc1YsOvj6UKsnlQ0BTcyiSr8ov/s640/IMG_3290.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
For this look I used OPI Fly, China Glaze For Audrey & Sally Hansen Mint Sorbet. All you need are a few shades in the same color family. You could also move from one color to another. For instance, purple into pink, red into orange or green into yellow.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMA4cha6PV7gKS_iNKDNGNrUM_JQULk6m2NOMEUVw4dNuDPqN8wtmUfdytK00bbLN_r4_L8_whw4np_ZV2wlJFWlXllPWD7_yF6fjtggfDGxzgKMxK9aNr8WMpdm1kgxPIwbptcbpLJeH0/s1600/IMG_3293.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMA4cha6PV7gKS_iNKDNGNrUM_JQULk6m2NOMEUVw4dNuDPqN8wtmUfdytK00bbLN_r4_L8_whw4np_ZV2wlJFWlXllPWD7_yF6fjtggfDGxzgKMxK9aNr8WMpdm1kgxPIwbptcbpLJeH0/s640/IMG_3293.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Finally the last trend is 2 colors.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPi6MXvjE44DB63YEg3ae-6MQlgguEkWhfr46kd-EHKl2FqZ4npqTPtUrtKZT4gQeb-tDcN2pxf23mCUmjK5eUCOIUsF2vanDVF-tHiR6Zj-5OKcyOHqK84b1MPetAg1-bpIkLI70_oVGI/s1600/IMG_3385.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPi6MXvjE44DB63YEg3ae-6MQlgguEkWhfr46kd-EHKl2FqZ4npqTPtUrtKZT4gQeb-tDcN2pxf23mCUmjK5eUCOIUsF2vanDVF-tHiR6Zj-5OKcyOHqK84b1MPetAg1-bpIkLI70_oVGI/s640/IMG_3385.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
I used China Glaze Strawberry Fields & Riveting<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV69k05ahEHqsQGUvMnbR8VSe_aKchVboMfcIEsXcIAoCz7KOrjsd6wbx5yrZ8yGMISOQmmkwzfREeLJyYTSNooz3t8g0SIvndCNy1rsBNH3hYLjFlLB_8m3vARV_0wsdeeeGoj1N0XLl7/s1600/IMG_3383.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV69k05ahEHqsQGUvMnbR8VSe_aKchVboMfcIEsXcIAoCz7KOrjsd6wbx5yrZ8yGMISOQmmkwzfREeLJyYTSNooz3t8g0SIvndCNy1rsBNH3hYLjFlLB_8m3vARV_0wsdeeeGoj1N0XLl7/s640/IMG_3383.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
I painted my thumb, index finger & pinkie pink, then used the orange for my middle & ring fingers.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEht_om8Ne9eHSc25fxUF7-FgrApjyEWmXNubtSgxEk_6CLLKJ-1W5LPpR3e2VVaTB3lQESgMAPQw-HBtLNJD88KPbHop4yvF849g5mJYNIt6yH6Z8D_ME8j_x0rnKrDJXQIxTnABah-MBvW/s1600/IMG_3388.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEht_om8Ne9eHSc25fxUF7-FgrApjyEWmXNubtSgxEk_6CLLKJ-1W5LPpR3e2VVaTB3lQESgMAPQw-HBtLNJD88KPbHop4yvF849g5mJYNIt6yH6Z8D_ME8j_x0rnKrDJXQIxTnABah-MBvW/s640/IMG_3388.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Then I did the opposite on the other hand.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This is such a fun look! I love pink & orange together, but you can pair any two colors you like. This trend allows for lots of creativity! And it lets you get more use out of your polish!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
So these are a few nail trends I have been wearing. Let me know if you have tried any of these looks or if there's any more I should know about!</div>

I did a little shopping this weekend & wanted to share what I got! I am still working on Project 5 Pan & won't be using my new makeup until the other items are finished. I'm happy to say that I'm almost done with my 5 items & will be sharing that soon!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Today's NOTD is Essie Baby's Breath with Sally Hansen White Veil as an accent. I picked up this glitter polish this weekend at Walgreens. Sally Hansen has a new collection of base colors & glitter topcoats. White Veil has small white glitter with bigger gold glitter. I thought this was pretty unique & I didn't have anything like it. And I really like this combo. This Essie polish is one I've had for a while & just forgot about. But it's perfect with this glitter.</div>

Hey everyone! I hope you are having a nice weekend. I am relaxing today because yesterday I ran my very first 10K! I've been training for the past 10 weeks & this weekend was Race Day! When I started out I could barely run 1 mile. So I'm proud to say that I ran 6.2 miles & surprisingly I want to keep it up! Anyway I wanted a special manicure for the race & came up with this. I am wearing China Glaze Fast Track with Milani Jewel FX in Gold. How perfect is that? I really love this combo & can't wait to wear this glitter with other colors. I bought it on Friday just to be able to wear it on Saturday! How did I not have this polish already? I love it!</div>
