I wanted something special for summer. I painted my nails with “OPI Pink of Hearts”  but when it dried the color was a bit light. I decided to add hot pink on the tips for a little pop.  I wasn’t sure what type of tip I wanted to do but decided to go with a simple french since the color was strong enought to pop on its own. Here is what they look like, What do you think?

I went to CVS a few days ago to check out some flip flop sandals that came with 3 polishes, toe separators, and a file for $9.99. I wanted to purchase it for a friend for Christmas, yes I sad Christmas. I try to shop throughout the year when I see something for a good price. Oh, I almost forgot the rest of the story. The $9.99 flip flop set came with $4.00 in extra bucks, making them $5.99. While there I found this beautiful color, unlike any color I have…..and I have a lot of polish (one wall rack and an entire drawer full), it was Essie “In the Cab-ana”.  This is the color I decided to wear this time. I also had water decals with Disney characters on them and I found some Henna design water decals in the shape of hearts that I put on my nails and toes.  http://www.cvs.com/search/_/N-0?searchTerm=Essie+in+the+cabana&pt=global

I am collecting points by completing surveys and checking emails. Most of the emails are worth 5 points each and the surveys are generally between 50 -200 points. If you don’t qualify you still get 10 points for trying. I save the points up and turn them in for gift cards. There are gas, restaurant, prepaid credit cards, store cards, etc. They make great gifts too. The actually store card is mailed to you and it does not state you earned it free; it just looks like one you would purchase at the store.

I also print out grocery coupons here too. I earn points for redeeming the coupons and I get the value of the coupon too.

It all started with white polish on my toes. I wanted to apply some decals but they did not show up so I changed my mind and added red crackle on top of the white polish. I used Orly French Tip in Pointe Blanche  It was still a little too plain for me so I got out my gold stripe polish and added a little gold to them followed by a inm northern lights top coat.

Then I wanted something to go with my toes on my nails but to be a little different. I painted them Bath & Body Works “volcano” red polish. I cut out some Sally Hansen water decals on my nails in tribal patterns.

I am lucky enough to be one of the people who gets to test out some new makeup Neutrogena is going to promote. I can’t wait to test it out. I just received my package in the mail today after checking the mailbox all week for it. Yoohoo. Below is what I received in the mail. Product testing has it advantages.

Orly French Foil

I purchased the Orly French Manicure Cosmic FX kit on sale and thought I would try it out. Inside the package is a Top/Bottom Coat, Black – liquid vinyl, and Foil Color – Space Cadet. I use my own base coat called ” China Glaze Strong Adhesion”. This is the best base coat ever, in my opinion. I use it on my toes and the polish never chips and last as long as my acrylic nails and sometimes even longer. I can easily go 2 weeks without any problems.

On my toes I did the regular rounded design french pedicure and my nails I did the chevron. I decided to make it a little thicker than I normally do the chevron because I wanted the tip to show up nicely. When I finished I added a rhinestone in the center of the chevron on my nails. I just used a toothpick and dabbed some clear top coat where I wanted to place the rhinestone and then pushed the rhinestone in place. When it dried I top coated everything.

For my toes I decided to put three rhinestones on my big toe. I put one on each side and then one in the center. Same steps as above and top coated as well. The topcoat I use dries very quickly and lasts a long time. I use “out the door”.
