Seven Days of Misa – Day 7

Last day of Misas and this group contains a good portion of my Misa favorites. Saving the best for last was totally unintentional, it’s just the way the bottles fell (or were swatched, in this case).
Choclate Icing, Wine Burgundy and Girl Friday, my favorites, have beautiful shimmer, depth and glow. Maybe it’s because gold [...]

Seven Days of Misa – Day 2

I was a little surprised that Little Tease and Enchanted were my favorites out of this group. Little Tease was almost jelly like with shimmer. Most colors like this tend to be streaky messes, but this went on nicely. Enchanted is a shade of beige that I usually don’t care for. [...]

If the Shu Fits…

…Then by goodness, wear it!
Shu Uemura is another one of those brands that seems almost nigh impossible for Americans to get their hands on, let alone get on their tips. I think this brand is predominantly sold in Asia. Good thing I have high friends in low places – and sometimes you can take that [...]

Old Money

Well not really. But it is old. And it is green.
I love delicate greens that lean to blue. I can’t even say that I wear them all that often, but it is one of the colors that I truly have a hard time resisting. These are fairly old [...]

Oh Rimmel, Why Do You Tease Me So?

 
When I first saw these polishes in the drugstore this week, my first thought was, “Yay! Sally Hansen decided not to do away with their square bottles!” only to discover that these were not Sally Hansen at all, but Rimmel. The bottle itself is very, very similar to the Sally Hansen Salon polishes, but [...]

Frugal Prices for a Basix Polish – 2 of 7

 
For the most part, Basix polishes are solid colors with a decent, if thin, brush – something that polishes in the $1 generally have problems with. All of the swatches are two coats and (even though this is loosely tied to the top coat testing) no top coat. I don’t think that there are [...]

Frugal Prices for a Basix Polish – 1 of 7

 
In such a low economy, what’s a well manicured girl to do? Well, I have 28 answers for you and they all cost $.99 each.
If you were keeping up with our Top Coat testing, you’ll know that the winner was a no name top coat that could be purchased at Supply Source. Unfortunately, [...]

Chanel Spammage – The Last Batch (I swear!)

Yesterday we should have stopped at Jamaica. I keep telling my dear child that I want to climb up the Blue Mountains and pick coffee. She looks at me like I’m nuts and says, “but we’re supposed to be on vacation.” Guess I’ll have to leave her home when I go to [...]

Chanel Spammage – The Second Batch!

What are the chances we are sunburnt like lobsters by now? Hopefully not. I packed SPF 50 and 30! Today we hit Grand Cayman.
So onward with the Chanels!

Chanel Spammage – The First Batch!

Today we stop at Key West. Hopefully we’ll be able to get some scuba diving in. It will be the first time for my daughter. She doesn’t seem to excited about it. Not quite sure if it’s the pricetag or the idea of being 30 feet under water.
So [...]
