So have you ever heard of a nail file addiction? I have one. Ever since the package from Mont Bleu nail tools arrived from The Czech Republic, I can’t stop filing my nails. I had to go to the post office on a Saturday a few weeks ago to pick up a mysterious package …
I hope you’ve had as fun a weekend as I did. It seems like non-stop events and get-togethers since the middle of last week! And today my aunt is coming to visit for a day or two, so I’m dashing off this post. I hope I’ll be able to get one up for Thursday but …
After not wearing polish for months, I suddenly got in the mood. One polish was a new one that was featured at PolishCon in Brooklyn recently, another I got in my Ipsy bag, and the other two were underutilized bottles in my stash. Because I’m doing some gardening, my polish doesn’t stay on too long, …
I think that Ipsy definitely continues to have the edge in the competition of inexpensive makeup subscriptions. I got another winner on Saturday from Ipsy: all makeup! Yay! The theme is Summer Friday. When I worked in advertising in New York, we had summer Fridays. At one agency, we got out on Friday at 1pm, at …

Recently, I read a review for Essie Gel Couture on Plastic Bows beauty blog and on another blog that I can’t remember. Both blogposts featured a shade that’s one of my all time favorites. Essie calls it Sew Me, shade 30, and describes it as “cream caramel rose”. I’d say it’s shell pink. It’s part of …
Over the past several weeks, I saw several blogposts showing off the new Washington DC collection from OPI. It’s an election themed collection (as if we need more reminders :roll:), and the colors are fall type colors IMHO. I fell hard for Freedom of Peach. OPI may call it peach, but I would call it …
