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.

Wishing you the very best Holiday season

Yes, I know it's been two months since my last post. My health issues have carried over for two months and I have been exhausted. I was finally feeling better and I lost someone very dear to me. When I was born. I was blessed with amazing parents, my Nana and my Aunt Wanda.  Wanda has always treated me like her own. I spent every minute of my childhood that I could at Wanda and Nana's house. It was home to me. My grandmother taught me how to iron, cook and sew among other things. I lost her when I was 11. Both parents passed away in 2003. Wanda was always there for me. She was like a second mom to me. She helped me with anything she could.  She babysat my six kids when I was a single parent going to school. She treated my kids like they were her own. She was an amazing woman. She worked at Grand Coulee Dam when it was being built, she traveled and she truly loved life. She was a Christian and she devoted her life to Jesus Christ. Back in July when I had surgery on my foo...

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...

Greetings fellow nail polish fans...

My daughter has been out of school for nine days due to the weather. At this moment, it  is snowing like a son of a gun. She's so bored. I recently received the latest copy of Nail It! magazine. It's the November/December issue. There are so many amazing ideas for nails. As I was perusing through it's pages, I came upon this. This was submitted by Nora Ramsdell, Richmond, VA @naq57.  I really liked the look of the gold and green/teal color. Very chic but simple too.  Here we go.  I started with a base coat. Your choice. As long as it works, you will be fine.  I like Green but not all Greens. I tend to gravitate towards the blue-green, green-blue, teal-y colors. I chose Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Re-teal Therapy. I love this brand. It drys quickly and on me, it lasts until I take it off. That's usually about 10 days. I used two coats. For the Gold, I decided to try something new. I usually use stamping polish. I have seen videos on YouTube...
