Eggies

I attempted to play with the fish egg beads I got at Dollar Tree. They actually lasted OK for about a day and a half, but then basically peeled off. Weird. Oh well. I may attempt this again today if I am feeling ambitious.

Sorry this picture isn't that good and that there is a shadow, but you get the idea I guess.

Dolla Tree Score

Yeah, I said "dolla."

Wanna fight about it?

I found these at my local Dollar Tree today and obviously they were $1:

These are like mini (and I mean mini) fish eggie type of beads. They are super cute, but frankly look like they are gonna be super messy, but we shall see.

Close-up of fish eggies

These are glittery type shape thingies. Some are hearts, some are stars and some are flowery-shaped and still others are just hex-shaped.

Same as above closer-up

If I'm feeling adventurous tonight, I may try the fish eggie ones. We shall see. Wish me luck!

Happy 5th of July

How weird is it to have a holiday like the 4th in the middle of the week? I guess it gives folks a chance to both party on the day of and then party again on the weekend. I'm not much for parties, but I'll take a vodka and cranberry (or six) from time to time.

Since I purchased the Take Wing collection from Color Club the other day, I decided to use  the most patriotic color in the bunch for my 4th of July mani.

This is "Sky High"

Sorry for the bad shape of my cuticles :( Pulling weeds in the garden does a number on the nails fo sho.

Anywho, I liked this color - this was my first experience with the brand and I liked the formula. It was a bit more sheer than I had expected it to be. I think I used three coats and Seche Vite topcoat. You can still see the nail through it, though, but I like it. I have another from the collection called "Metamorphosis" on my toes, but I don't think that anyone wants to see my wonky feet.

Yikes - it's been way too long

Sorry for my lack of posting - I know - I suck. I've just not had the inspiration I guess - plus my nails were wrecked and I was waiting for them to grow back!
I do have a find I wanted to post. In an effort to de-stress, I went to one of my fave stores - Burlington - today. I bought way too many shoes as well as some jewelry, but wanted to post my nail find.

Color Club's "take wing" collection! Whoot! The whole bloody thing was $7.99. I saw ONE bottle at Rite Aid for $4.99, so yeah, I think I gots me a good deal.

"Take Wing"

Here's the tag from the back

My store also had a full set of the metallics - which I resisted and also sets of 4 smaller bottles for $3.99 (I think that's what it was).
