My mom is an enabler

Today I have Lilac Quartz from Avon's Brushed Metals collection. 

I visited my mom this weekend and this little gem was waiting for me! 

It is so pretty. It's a lilac-y silver color with a decent amount of texture. In the sun, this really shines. The formula on this was really easy to work with and it dried super quickly. I did not use a topcoat as I wanted the texture to be seen in all its glory!

Clever name


Today I'm wearing Maybelline Color Show nail stickers in Metal Prisms. I think they could have come up with a more clever name, but that's just my opinion. 

I got these at Big Lots for $1. I think these stickers retail for about $7 or so. I have never tried "stickers" before. I've only tried the real nail polish strips. 

The first thing I noticed was the smell was very plasticky, unlike polish strips, which smell like, well, polish. In fact, the ingredients are adhesive type ingredients. 

I'm interested to see how these wear.

Absolutely Afflorable!

Sorry I've been MIA for a while. I have been really busy - I know, excuses, excuses!

I actually had this on my nails a couple of weeks ago - I'm so behind on taking photos of my nails and stuff. This is Sally Hansen Salon Effects in Afflorable. I picked this up at Big Lots for $1. It lasted super long - for me anyway- it was about a week or so. For me, anything that lasts longer than a day or two is awesome because I tend to have peelie nails. I really liked this and got several comments (even one from my boss - who is awesome!)
