Nail Transitioning ...

After wearying acrylic nails and then solar nails basically since I was in the 7th grade I am now transitioning back to ... well just my nails. lol So for the past two weeks I was wearing a light pinky gel nail polish color (Gellish was the brand) . I loved the color, but me being me I get tired of the any color within at least a week. Soooo I couldn't wait until my next appointment. I wanted something different. The only thing is at my job I can only where light natural colors or red because its a classic color. So basically the creativity when it comes to my nails is limited. : (   So this time I remembered I had an OPI Alpine Snow white at home so I brought it with me and they just happen to have the OPI Alpine Snow gel polish. I was very excited because I didn't even think they would have the same color in regular and gel polish colors.

Left - gel Alpine Snow / Right - polish Alpine Snow

on my feet I got the regular Alpine Snow

on my fingers I have the gel Alpine Snow

For once in well plenty of years my fingers and toes match! lol I am so happy and pleased! lol

OPI - Germany Collection

Toooooday was Mani./Pedi. Day and I was WAY 2 EXCITED! lol I felt as if I haven't had them done in forever, but the reality is it was probably only a few weeks ... lol  As usual I went in and selected my color and I saw the Germany Collection I believe it came out last May, but to me it was a new collection. lol My Favorite colors out of the collection are:

 

- Don't Pretzel my Buttons ( a nude that actually reminds me of C-Thru Lipgalss by M.A.C.)

- Don't Talk Bach to Me ( mustordy yellow)

- Deutsch You Want Me Baby? ( a burnt orange color )

I finally decided on  Deutsch You Want Me Baby? because I don't have a color like this already at home.  I figured since I have yellow undertone that this burnt orange looking color would look nice on my skin tone. I have to say I absolutely love it!

OPI - Drip Dry

Drip Dry on the Left & OPI - Dim Sum Plum on the right

So for the past week I have been wanting to paint my nails, but I had no clue as to what color I wanted! I went to the professional Beauty Supply store with all intentions on finally purchasing an Essie nail polish!!! Then as usual I started to walk around and ran into this OPI value pack. ( since I purchased this at a professional store the value pack was no more than $7 total ... I am not sure if it is sold at non professional stores) Now when I saw the color I was like ooook this is totally not what I came into the store for ..... However when I saw what the free gift was I had to purchase it!!! OPI has a product called Drip Dry this has to be one of my favorite finds this year!!! No Really I am so serious! I do have Solar falsies on my nails, but I get tired of never having an actual color on my nails and I am one to get bored easy .... so it was time to change it up!

How it works:
1st - Apply your Base Coat
2nd - Two Coats of you Nail Polish of choice ( the product states that it works with all brands of Nail Polish this is definitely a plus )
3rd - Take 2-3 drops of the Drip Dry and well drip them over each nail
4th - Give it 5 minutes and you will be dry ( This Really Works I was so AMAZED )

Side note: If you are from Louisiana you probably would agree with my coworker who said the nail polish color reminded her of K&B! lol It really does though!

I loved they way they had everything safely wrapped! lol 

KIND Almond & Apricot

Price - Varies on Location

 This was a little something Extra I was sent! 

This actually came in handy yesterday morning. I didn't have a chance to eat. Grabbed it and headed off to work! It was rather tasty also and had me full for a few hours until lunch!

Redken - shine flash 02
Price - Varies on Location

A must for all Cynthia's runway shows, this weightless spray gives hair a brilliant finish.

I can actually say I do like this product. It has a aerosol sprayer. It doesn't leave the hair oily but with a very shiny and healthy look. I spray it all over my hair then work it through my fingers. It also has a nice light hold perfect for me since I have been wearing my hair more natural this summer. I doooo suggest that you keep your bathroom door open while spraying I had my door closed and almost choked! lol

Korres - Showergel

 Price - 13.53oz  $19.50

A deliciously foamy body wash with aloe to keep skin soft long after you've toweled off and an exotically lush fragrance.

This product is great and a little goes a long way! Use sparingly because when you fall in love with this product your going to be mad you ran out and have to hurry to your nearest store and purchase some more! lol

philosophy - purity made simple one-step facial cleanser

 Price - 8 oz $20 & 16oz $32

This perennial award - winner is pH - balanced to gently clear away dirt, oil, and makeup without drying out the skin.

Now this product I was really interested in trying. I have had tried soooooo many different skin care items over the years. I was wondering how this would compare to the others.... Over all it was a pretty good product. It did leave my skin feeling refreshed and also the cleanser has a fresh smell to it.

Zoya - Touch Collection Nail Polish in Pandora 

Price 0.5oz $8

Neutral gets a sexy makeover in this creamy, slightly metallic nude. The perfect accessory to summer's bright fashions.

Soooooo when I saw this polish I was instantly In Love! lol I am a sucker for nude polishes especially during the summer when my skin has a little tan! After giving myself a much needed pedicure I applied Pandora to my toes and since I have received so many compliments on the color. I really think I just found my favorite new nail polish brand!
