So things look a little different around here, huh?

I thought I would do a quick run down on some of the new features as well as where you can find things you may be looking for.

Let’s start with the logo. Click my logo and that basically is a “Home” button.

The top area of my site includes the standards: About, FAQ (check them out they may be useful), Advertising page and a Contact form.

Under my logo in the black bar is an area for some special features. Categories is the same as it was on my last site basically. Nail Gallery leads you to my new upgraded Nail Gallery (more on that soon). Spring 2012 is all posts marked with Spring 2012. When the seasons change, so will this feature. Giveaway is a special place where you can click to see any and all giveaways I have done or that are going on.

Across from that are buttons where you can subscribe to me via email, Facebook, Twitter and RSS feed. Next to that is a very solid search area. This whole area and everything above it is “static” meaning when you scroll down, the top of my site stays in place. I love that about it, makes it handy I think.

Under that area is my new scrolling header area! I love this part. This will just include different mini mastheads that will change out. There are currently five running. You can wait for it to change itself or click the arrows to go to the next one. Continue reading »

Revlon has a new line of nail enamel out called Colorstay Longwear Nail Enamel and get this, they’re in different shaped bottles. Hooray!

There are a whole bunch of these, not sure how many. I am guessing between 20-30 new colors and I nabbed four that looked promising at my local Walgreens when they were buy one get one half off. They retail for $8.49 and are actually smaller bottles than the regular ones (0.4 oz compared to 0.5 oz) so getting them on sale is a good thing.

Supposedly if you use the corresponding base and top coats with this polish you get a gel-like finish and lasting power. I didn’t get the base and top coats though so cannot confirm that,

Jane is a brand you wouldn’t think of being at Nordstrom Rack, but now they are!

They carry a few different Jane products now (along with Stila) and today I’ve got on of their EyeZing Mix & Match Compacts in the shade Havana Tones.

This compact features shades of pink, purple, silver and black. It comes in a small compact with a plastic insert inside with the names of each shadow printed on it. I like that they have individual names, but not a huge fan of those inserts with the names, because I tend to toss them, then don’t know what the names are! It also comes with a rather useless double-sided sponge applicator.

Hello there!

It’s been awhile since I have done one of these posts. “Awhile” meaning 15 months! Oops.

Anyway what these are are just little chat sessions so I can catch you up on any news happenin’ around these here parts.

But I do have an ulterior motive for this post. It’s an issue that’s been bothering me and has come up a lot lately so I figured I would address it here. Continue reading »

Welcome to the colorful world of China Glaze Electropop! Electropop is their new 12-piece color saturated collection for spring 2012.

Nearly all the colors in this collection are cremes with the exception of two shimmers and one glitter. But that’s not to say they’re boring.

The formula was really great with nearly all of them. They seemed to apply a bit sheer and I kept thinking I would need three coats, but nearly all were just perfect with two.
