I received press samples of the Red Carpet Manicure Gel Polish Pro Kit. All opinions are my own. Years ago, I used to go once a week on my lunch hour and get my manicure. Those days have changed, mostly due to there not being enough hours in the day. I still like to have nice nails, and now, with the availability of the new nail kits, I can get really excellent results doing it ...
April Ipsy Bag | Pretty In Pink
I finally got my first Ipsy bag in April. What’s Ipsy? Ipsy is a monthly beauty subscription chock full of goodies. I took a poll of my beauty friends and the consensus was that Ipsy was one to join. So I did! Normally, there’s a several month long wait to get your first bag. However, I was able to get in for April after signing up the end of March. I waited and waited and waited ...

St Patrick’s Day Nails | Manicure Monday
This is a super easy nail look that is packing a real punch. This is perfect for St Patrick's Day nails. It's just 2 polishes, both of which dried super fast and were crazy-forgiving. Sound like your type of nail? It's definitely mine! I started off with a base of Nailtiques Formula 2 Nail Protein strengthener. I had a bit of damage to my nails, and figured it couldn't hurt. ...
Super Freaky by NaiLuv | Manicure Monday
It's Manicure Monday again. This is a sneak peek of the NaiLuv gel nails system. This color is called Super Freaky and it's a red glitter in a clear base. Sooo pretty. I'm wearing two coats of the color, but I think you could do one coat over another color to mix up the look. I did notice after I took this pic that I have a little cleanup to do.

Girly by Revlon | Valentine’s Day Nails | Manicure Monday
This is Girly by Revlon. Girly is a mix of large and small glitters in oh so feminine shades of pinks and purples. There’s also a little tiny bit of holo for some flares and flashes of color. I’m not totally sure, but I think one of the pink glitters is the holo. The carrier is a soft pink gel, which leaves just the faintest blush of pink on your nails. It doesn’t interfere with a base color, ...
