KISS Gel Fantasy Nail Review

Haven't done a nail review for awhile

Today I'll talk about KISS gel FANTASY ultra smooth finish

I generally go for the French Manicure as I prefer the stark contrast between either the beige or pinkish tone against the white.  I also prefer the straight edge to the curved edge

I've been noticing the trend lately for really out of this world designs and BAM in your face colors. Some frankly too much for me in particular, however, I am warming up to some less statement options

Grabbed this one to review.  I've been wearing them for a few days now.  I'm pretty amazed at the obvious extra product added with the variety of sparkles.  It's only slightly above regular cost to the regular nails

I buy short length nails but found these only come in long.  A bit longer than I would like as I keep nails on for around 3 weeks, that means housework, work and whatever other daily grind my hands go through.

I was a bit worried at first because the sparkles are slightly raised,  If you find any with an edge your concerned with just lightly file it down.  I haven't caught them on any clothing to date.  We'll see how these keep up.  So far other than finding it harder to text its all good.  Ha ha actually realizing why I get such funny texts from people with long nails, hmmm its not because they can't spell!

Remember to keep the glue in your purse and if one should pop off or become loose you can repair on the spot.  You get 24 in a pack which for me gives me two sets of nails, thats 6 weeks wear for under a $10.00 investment

What To Wear To Vancouver Fashion Week 2014

I'm always in a perplexed state when off to a fashion show ... what to wear!

I am fully aware I'll be surrounded by some very beautiful  people.  I actually try not to put too much weight on my decisions as I see everything from grunge to completely bizarre to over the top exquisite.  I'm sure you get my drift, really, anything goes

Oh, this is AWKWARD, the minute you realize you can see right through your dress, call me edgy

What I'm wearing:

Zara Collection dress - Valu Village thrifted $12.00
Pierre Cardin blazer - Valu Village thrifted $9.00
Target open toe mini boot

 

Oh my lord, from the back its even worse.  Just a side note: I would like to thank all of my friends for letting me in on this little secret, NOT

 Lots of orbs followed me through this shoot, Many friends I'm sure

First Day of Rain

Love, love summer, however admittedly, also love to utilize another part of my wardrobe

First day of rain and I've reverted to black on black on a variation of black, hmmm get how that rhymes with hack, LOL.  I've always found that older type words have intuitive meanings, you can feel them on your tongue.  Like the metric system curuffles me, millimetre that doesn't feel like a size, say; smidge, I get that

I'm all about hats when it rains, I don't have the extra arm to carry the umbrella

I'm wearing:

Aritzia hat
SWS trench
Walmart boots

No diff to mention what's underneath, I love that you can't see it

 

Blue on Blue?

Is there such a thing as too much of the same color?

When I was younger my sister was all matchy matchy, I thought it was silly.  Keep in mind she used to pay me to put make-up on me, she was determined I would look prettier.  I'm admittedly a late bloomer or vanity has kicked in, argh!!!!  Didn't really start to wear make-up until a couple of years ago.  Oh lord better warm up to 50, which is Right Around The Corner, no doubt I'll start to trowel the shit on!

I digress, is there such a thing as too much of the same color?  Maybe

I'm wearing:

JACOB Cami
Walmart Maxi
Payless Sandal
Faux RayBans

 

  
   

 
 

Meeting of the Minds

Great meeting so many new people in Bellingham today. It was a pleasure

Everything I wore was either thrifted or under $10.00. I went for the 'pop' of color

They have some interesting trees, do you think they get hot in the summer?

Mostly White with a Pop of Color

I just love to pull out as much white with a pop of color, for this glorious weather were having, it's so crisp and clean looking

I never forget how important our environment and animals are, all the pieces here are years old or thrifted, there is only one animal product allowed, thats my leather purse. Now in keeping with that statement I will add that I will never again buy animal products, however, if I've had something in my wardrobe for years like the purse and it was thrifted, I'll keep it or give it away so as not to contribute to an empty death for our personal pleasure

 

Happy summer times folks!

Broadway Fake Nail Review

In my quest for the perfect fake nails I've tried the cheapest version I could find

Why would I do that ... because I believe something does not have to be expensive to be good

BROADWAY is the same company as KISS Products,their cheaper version.  Fine with me, we know how that goes.  Lots of companies have another brand that is less costly

This brand, only $5.47. Yeah!!!!!

Just as the more expensive brands did, they lasted 3 full weeks and come with extra's in case you loose one along the way.  Really this could be called a 6 week review because the kit comes with 24 nails, after the first 3 weeks I replaced both hands with fresh ones and went another 3 weeks!

Funny, for the cheaper brand they also came with more gadgets.  You get a manicure stick and a tool for easy application.  However, it did not come with a buffer?  Oh well, I had one from another kit

The look is not as sheer as their more expensive brand but you would only know that if you put your hand up against a sheer pair.  It's also a preference because lots of people I know go for the matte pink color on purpose

I mentioned in my last review of fake nails that I also prefer to buy a more substantial glue than the one in the kit, gets too jammed up

love them!

Had A Lunch Date Today

Wow, I'm on a roll, my second date in more than as many years! Actually that's not even true, my last lunch date stood me up

I decided to go for the casual boyfriend jean look (what else do you wear when your looking for a boyfriend?)

I'm wearing:

Jeans from a hundred years ago (love them)
H&M jacket (on sale of course $15)
Joe Fresh T shirt
Faux Berkin Bag (Value Village)
Spike ankle boots (Beyond the Rack under $15)

Just a Touch of Blue!!!!

I went out the other night and was requested to wear all black with a touch of blue, thought the flower was appropriate

Oh, look at all the orbs, wonder who is visiting?
