Metro Chic Giveaway only 5 days left!

Hey Ya’ll! I feel as though it’s appropriate for me to say that because I am writing you from the big ‘ole state of Texas right now. Yep, I’m in San Antonio hanging out by the RiverwalkÂ for a work conference. Anyone know of any cool beauty stores near here? I have already been informed of a Trade Secret in the mall, so of course I will be going there tomorrow to see if they have anything the Bay Area doesn’t have (I hope, I hope!).Â

In the meanwhile I am highly annoyed about my polish at the moment. I got my OPI holiday colors (swatches coming late next week) and put on Brand New Skates last night at 9:00 pm. By 1:00 pm today a huge chunk was missing on my pointer finger already! And the rest have lots of tip wear! What I did for this as an experiement, which clearly didn’t work, was: 1 coat of CND Stickey, 3 coats polish, 1 coat CND Stickey then a coat of Poshe. I always heard a “Stickey sandwich” worked really well for people. But maybe it’s too thick so it peeled right off. I don’t know. Has anyone had this happen before and if so, what are your recommendations?

I also want to remind those who have not already entered into my contest that I am giving away a bottle of Metro Chic to one lucky person. The contest ends on the 10th so please enter today!

Vamp it up!

Sally Hansen Plum It & Metro Chic Giveaway

I just found Plum It by Sally Hansen the other day sitting all by it’s lonesome on the shelf and it’s one that I haven’t seen anywhere else in my area, so I had to snatch it up!
