No....I haven't died and gone to Hell in a hand basket

But the possibility is still possible.

Not really. I try to always do the right thing. Be the better person. You know what I'm talking about.

So I did my nails. Add then I had a revelation.  Do something different, I said.

And here I am;. I'm going to cal it the "I wanted to love it...." blog post.

I am sure that everyone has bought something and after you got home, realized that it wasn't what you expected. Unless you live in a booming metropolis...I don not, you would have to drive at least 50 miles to return something. Fortunately, I can always find someone to share with.

And since I buy everything with my own funds, I promise to give you a brutally honest opinion.

Lets talk about.........Lip Sense.

Have you ever heard of Lip Sense? Long lasting lip stick that smells something akin to grain alcohol?
Well I tried it. My daughter in law seemed to like it so I thought I'd give it a whirl.

The color itself will run you $25.  If you want a gloss top coat(which you must have) that's another $20. If you choose a matte top coat, yep another $20. If you slightly suck at applying lipstick...period, you are going to need Oops Remover. It does exactly that. Removes oops.  That will be $10.

They do have quite a few color choices including 33 warm colors, 40 cool and 2 neutral.

According you are supposed to use three coats of color. You need to let each color dry before you put on the next coat. When the color is dry you put the matte/gloss to "seal in" the color'. Then you reapply the matte/gloss throughout the day.



When I use this on my lips, I use three coats. This is four coats to be able to see the color.  The colors  sometimes apply patchy, even if I have shaken the Hell out of them. On my lips, they would stay all day if I didn't move. Under normal wear, they don't last more than about two hours. Then I would reapply the color.

They come with a specific set of instructions that I followed to the letter. I am quite disappointed in the outcome.

Some of the colors seem to last better than others. For me the frost color stayed on about 5 minutes.

These might work better for you.

Funny thing is, I can't get the color off my arm. Sad day.

Thanks for stopping by.

A woman is helpless only when her nail polish is drying......

My daughter gave me a sign that says just that as a gift. She is so right. I can cook anything I choose, change the oil in a car, change a tire and a hundred other things I learned along the way. Mess with me when my polish is drying, you are going to be in trouble. \ Seriously. Painting nail is an art, even if you are putting on one color. It's tricky,it takes practice and its frustrating as Hell if you have to start over. Be patient. Let a woman get her nails dry and everything is awesome.  Fortunately my kids aren't little anymore and then fend for themselves most of the time. Other times it's like this "Mom, Mooooom, I've cut my carotid artery! I'm bleeding!!"  Yes dear, I'll be right there. Let my nail polish dry. Seriously, it's never that severe. Funny though. On with the polish at hand.... I really like the Pro-Fx Nail Concealer. It makes a nice smooth base to work with. I use one coat. It dries fast which is a bonus. Who really...

Helloo Baaaaby.....

Those are the words of the immortal Big Bopper aka J. P. Richardson who died in a plane crash along with Buddy Holly and Richie Valens, February 3rd, 1959. Truly a great tragedy for the world. Haven't a clue what I'm talking about, look it up. My last post I was struggling to get my nails back in shape. Sadly, they would grow a bit longer than my fingertip and then peel. I couldn't have a Nail Art Blog without nails!! Well now I do. Let's check it out.  Here we are... I decided on this color because it's Spring in my neck of the woods. These are really simple, I think anyone could do them. These are PolyGel. Not a gel, not an acrylic. You do have to cure then in an LED/UV light but you could do them with regular polish and some nail art supplies. The pinky and thumb nail have gold nail foil on them. The ring finger has some glitter and a gold tone shield. The middle finger has some pearls and rhinestones attached. The index finger is my favorite. I starte...

Say hello to my little friends.......

Hello little friends...... Greetings fans.  Here is my polish of the week. First off, I would like to thank Piggie Luv for the idea. I saw a post on Pinterest and had to attempt to recreate it. I thought it was really cute and it turned out to be really easy to do. \ Without further hesitation, here is  my creation. Base coat of your choice of course.  Always a base coat. I used Orly Goth on all my nails. It's obviously black but it dose have a tiny bit of shimmer to it. This is just one coat.  Then I made little balls of lines with white acrylic paint. Any white acrylic art paint will do. You can also use white polish. On My pinkies, I used China Glaze Heli-yum. This is a bright neon pinky/red color with a cream finish. Ring fingers I used China Glaze Metro Pollen-Tin ( a dark yellow cream) and Square Hue Beethoven Straat (lime green cream).  Middle fingers was China Glaze Nasty, a bright berry cream.  Pointers, I used China Glaze Bahamian Escape...
