NOTD: OPI DS Reflection

OPI DS Reflection

This is the second polish in the Designer Series I have tried, and I can't gush enough about how much I LOVE these polishes.

Application is dreamy- so easy to get perfect application!

NOTD: I'm With Brad

OPI for Sephora

I'm With Brad

Absolutely gorgeous in the sun!

Love my salon trips!

I am just hoping I can get back on a regular schedule! Oy! Here is my latest set ... my fave color is purple, so here is what Tawny and I came up with. Acrylic colors don't have fun names like OPI, but I went with a purple pearl tip with dark pink back fill and added a few hearts for the upcoming love month. :o)

Please don't look too close at the picture if you enlarge - apparently, I need to get a good hand lotion! Ha!

Poshe Basecoat and Topcoat

Christine over at 15 Minute Beauty Fanatic has a great post about Poshe base and top coats.

I've never tried these products, but may do so after reading her routine.

Have you had good luck with them, or what products do you use?

By the way, Christine also had a fabulous post about her nail routine. It's a few years old, but fabulous nonetheless. I would love to hear what our readers use in their nail routines.

Night At the Fights: Poshe Cuticle Care vs. CND Cuticle Eraser

This week I'm going to do a little experiment. I'l be going all mad-scientist on you.

On my left hand, I'll be using Creative Nail Design's Cuticle Eraser. I purchased it at Ulta for $9.50 for 1/2 oz.

On my right hand, I'll be using Poshe Cuticle Care. I purchased it at Ulta for $9.99 for 1/2 oz.

I plan to apply at least twice a day, and post some comparisons and opinions for you.

Stay tuned!
