<span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />It was late 2021, I had been wearing builder gels to strengthen my
nails. But to remove the builder gels, instead of soaking them off, as I
should have, I used an e-file. Due to my misuse of the e-file, I damaged my
natural nails. The damage resulted in lifting (Onycholysis) on all of my nails
as well as "greenies" on my thumbs. I had never experienced damage to this
level. So, what did I do to? I removed all the gel, cut off as much of the
damage as I was comfortable with, and before each manicure, I soaked my nails
in hydrogen peroxide and used a tea tree laden cuticle oil. As my nails grew
out, I continued to cut off the remaining damaged nails. Then it was time for
a fresh start. </span>

<span style="font-family: verdana;">I had seen a newer nail product all over social media,
<a href="https://beautygarde.com/collections/best-sellers/products/rocket-nail-fuel-nail-repair-strengthening-and-growth-treatment-0-5-fl-oz?ref=LOISLEWIS" target=""><b>BeautyGuard Rocket Nail Fuel</b><br />
</a></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">I had tried several, and I do mean several different nail treatment
products </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">throughout my nail life. But looking at the few reviews and reading
description of Rocket Nail Fuel, I decided I would give it a try.</span></p><p>
<span style="font-family: verdana;">"<span style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">This </span><i style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">legendary</span></i><span style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-east-asian: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"> vegan nail treatment uses the natural power of plant extracts,
garlic and horsetail herb, to help restore, repair and harden even the
most damaged nails from the inside out. <b>Vegan, Seven-Free, Cruelty Free

</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">I ordered my first bottle mid-December. Rocket Nail Fuel has been my only
treatment basecoat all of 2022. I use it with every manicure. As my nails grew beyond my fingertips, I applied Rocket Nail Fuel under my free edge. My nails have continued to grow back
stronger and healthier. I have had to file them back several times
throughout the year. I have been so impressed with this product, not only
have I repurchased several backups, but I have also obtained an
affiliate code (<b><a href="https://beautygarde.com/?ref=LOISLEWIS">Formeitworks</a></b>) giving others the opportunity to try the product while
saving 20% on the <a href="https://beautygarde.com/?ref=LOISLEWIS"><b><span style="color: black;">BeautyGarde</span></b></a> website.</span>

<span style="font-family: helvetica;">Yes, even in my mid-50s, I still experience the occasional hormonal break
out. And thanks to the current state of the world and mask-acne, I have been
experiencing even more break outs. So, obviously, as a WOC, I have been in a
constant battle with trying to maintain even skin tone and minimizing
hyperpigmentation. You can imagine my excitement when I was offered the
opportunity to try SheaMoisture's newest skincare line-Even & Radiant.
This line is "made for melanin-rich skin, for a radiant, more even
complexion, the Even & Radiant collection is blended with natural Raw
Honey and Charcoal to help visibly reduce the appearance of dark spots and
post-acne spots while helping to restore skin’s natural tone."</span></span>

<span style="font-family: helvetica;">The Even & Radiant Collection includes the following five
products:</span>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After a rookie mistake, I find myself needing to start over. I must remember to follow my own rules, "Do not over buff!" I am often asked about my nail care routine, so I find this a great time to re-document my nail care routine. I first shared my process over 8 years ago. I will share that original link <a href="https://formeitworks.blogspot.com/2011/03/my-nail-regimensoup-to-nuts.html">here</a>. My process, as well as my products, have changed over the years. This will be my routine to bring my nails back to a healthy state. I will, at a later time, share my maintenance routine. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Routine: I was recently going through a gel/polygel phase and when removing the products, I over buffed my nails. As a result, my nails are thin and damaged. So to nurse my nails back to health, these are the steps I will be using:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">•<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Remove all traces of polish.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">•<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Clip back all the thin, damaged nails. Once nails are damaged, there isn't anything that will "bring them back to life". You just have to allow your nails to grow out. Often, you will need to file back more before the damaged nails have grown out. It will take time and patience.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">•<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>File your nails to the desired shape.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">•<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Apply your cuticle remover to soften and remove your dry, dead cuticles. Using your cuticle pusher of choice. Wipe away any residual cuticle remover.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">•<span style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Snip any hangnails and dead skin around your nails. Being careful not to cut any live skin.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><b style="background-color: #9fc5e8;">PR Sample</b></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">If you are one of my Instagram followers, you know my love for DermaE products. DermaE has been a part of both my morning and evening skincare routines for the past couple of years. Yes, I have been gifted some of their products for review, I have purchased even more. With that being said you can imagine my excitement when I received yet another gift. This time and right on time, I received the DermaE Anti-Acne line. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Even at 54 years of age, I still get the occasional breakout...what's that all about?! Whenever I experience a breakout, I find, most effective, products containing salicylic acid and although I'm not a fan of the scent, tea tree oil. Both of which are contained in these DermaE products. So let's go over the products received. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The first item is the <b><a href="https://dermae.com/collections/anti-acne/products/acne-deep-pore-cleansing-wash?variant=26219136264">DermaE Acne Deep Pore Cleansing Wash</a>-</b></span><span style="font-family: "helveticaneue" , "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;">$15.50 for 6.0 fl oz/175 ml</span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">: "</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A daily cleanser that removes built-up oil and debris to help unclog pores, promote clear skin and prevent breakouts." When I wear makeup, I double cleanse to remove my makeup, then use a foaming cleanser as my second cleanse. If I double cleanse, I will use this cleansing wash for my second cleanse, otherwise, this will be my first cleanse. It has a slight Tea Tree scent but dissipates quickly. I use this in conjunction with my PMD Clean Smart Facial Cleansing Device. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Now, this wash can be used 1-3 times a day depending on the severity of your acne, but as I am only dealing with the occasional breakout, I will use it 3-4 times a week as part of my PM routine. </span><br />

After cleansing with the DermaE </span><span style="font-family: "helveticaneue" , "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;">Acne Deep Pore Cleansing Wash, I apply a thin layer of this serum allowing it to absorb into my skin, again using my PMD massage function. Like the wash, this can be used 1-3 times a day, but I again will only use it 3-4 times a week, depending on how my skin is behaving or misbehaving. </span><br />

I recently decided to give the Onyx Box a try. What I saw that drew me in was that the We Are Onyx box is "Curated with OUR Melanin in mind!" So this is my unboxing of the September OnyxBox. </span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Upon opening the box, I was greeted with this beautiful artwork celebrating a rainbow of melanin. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<a name='more'></a>With each box, as with most subscription boxes, comes a postcard listing the contents and prices for individual products. Each OnyxBox contains full-size and deluxe size hair, skin, beauty and makeup products.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
So let's jump into the September 2017 OnyxBox. I'm seeing skincare, makeup, a nail polish and a fragrance. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://www.tokyo-milk.com/collections/eau-de-parfum" style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: blue;"><b>Tokyomilk</b></span></a><span style="text-align: center;"> perfume in the Honey & the Moon ($30). The top note detected is definitely the warmth of honey. First impressions, although this is not a scent that I would be drawn to, I will be giving it a try to see how it works with my body chemistry.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://www.lawbeautyessentials.com/collections/all"><span style="color: blue;"><b>Law Beauty Essentials</b></span></a> ($9) This shade, 2 PM Wine, is perfect for Fall and Winter. It is very similar to the reds and berries I wore before falling in love with blue. The formulation was slightly thick but it still required 2 coats to obtain full opacity. Be careful to wear a base coat, since similar dark colors tend to stain. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b><a href="http://www.bellapierre.com/mineral-lipstick.html"><span style="color: blue;">Bella Pierre Cosmetics-Mineral Lipstick</span></a></b> ($20) This shade, Envy, is in sync with the dusty, pinky nudes I gravitate towards, so I will be adding it to my makeup bag. This is an office-friendly shade that anyone should be able to wear.</div>

If you have been following me on Instagram, you know that I have recently added serums and oils to my skincare routine.

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit;">With healthy eating & drinking, natural hair care, and natural skincare on the rise, coconuts have been experiencing a major rebirth over the past few years. I remember 4-5 years ago, when I first tried to transition to natural, outside of natural health food stores, the only coconut oils I could </span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit;">find in the stores were highly processed, but now there are entire sections of natural, unrefined, cold-pressed, "virgin"coconut oil in most drugstores and mass retailers.

Since ancient times, coconut oil has been revered for its skin protecting and moisturizing benefits by millions of tropical communities in South America, the Caribbean, Asia, and Africa. Coconut oil contains healthy fats, which aids in keeping skin smooth and soft to the touch. The products also feature Papaya, which is a prized fruit in Mexico and South America, and traditionally used for generations as an ingredient in homemade skincare concoctions for its rejuvenating properties</i>." </span><br />

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit;">I have tried several of the Nubian Heritage bar soaps. This <i>Coconut & Papaya Bar Soap</i> has a soft vanilla scent. It claims to polish and renew the skin. Coconut has many beauty-related benefits. I have used coconut oil as a makeup remover, skin moisturizer, hot oil treatment, and a cuticle oil. I've used coconut milk as part of a deep conditioning treatment. Papaya also has several skin-related benefits, such as restoring skin tone, shedding dead skin cells, moisturizing dry skin, and repairing aged skin. Combine these two ingredients and you get great physical and enzymatic exfoliating results. </span><br />

Then you need to try the <i>Coconut & Papaya Bath Bombs</i>. I'm a shower person, so I use the bath bombs for manicures and pedicures. There are six in each box. But I cut each in half to get two mani uses. The coconut oil and shea butter leave my skin feeling soft and supple.</span></span><span style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: #444444; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> Lastly, I received the <i>Coconut & Papaya 24 Hr Deodorant</i>.

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">I've
recently returned to YouTube and am now starting to blog again. I've missed
sharing with you. Today's post is vastly different from what I usually
share with you. It's not nails, hair, or make-up. I often receive emails offering me opportunities to try different
products, but if I don't feel they fit my genre, I decline. </span><span style="line-height: 18.3999996185303px;">Some of the offers I receive are way off in left field...LOL! </span><span style="line-height: 115%;">Earlier this Summer
I was offered the chance to review a product. When I first read the email, it
didn't capture my attention. </span><span style="line-height: 115%;">I was going through my
emails again and reread the email offering me the chance to try a wood watch. My
first impression was confusion...I couldn't envision what a wood watch would
look like.</span><span style="line-height: 115%;"> </span><span style="line-height: 115%;">I went to their website and
was immediately intrigued. They are gorgeous! So after agreeing to give my honest opinion and review the watch, I went through the <a href="http://www.woodwatches.com/#formeitworks"><b>Jord Watches Website</b></a> to make my selection.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span></span></div>

I have shared my first impressions with my Instagram and YouTube followers. But now that it has been about a month since I received the watch, I figured that now would be a good time to give a more detailed review. </span></span><br />

<span style="line-height: 18.3999996185303px;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The Jord Watches come in a durable wooden box.

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">My day usually starts at 5:00 AM and normally doesn't shut down until 11:00 PM. Its no wonder, that when my head hits the pillow, its only a matter a minutes before I'm fast asleep. A certain amount of stress is normal, too much stress can be harmful to both your physical and mental health. </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Thanks to our British mates, we have National Slacker Day, which those of us in the USA changed to the politically correct </span><b style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">National Relaxation Day-August 15th</b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">. Yes, today, Friday, August 15th is </span><b style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">National Relaxation Day</b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">. Probably wish you had taken today off from work, right? Oh well put it in your calendar for next year.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So this brings to question, what are some of your fast and easy ways to relax? What are some of your favorite products used to relax? I have posted in the past about my DIY Spa Nights. When I want to relax, I pamper myself, </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I find it very relaxing to just spend time taking care of </span><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">my hair, my nails, my body, my face, and my feet...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I was recently sent some products from <b>Neutrogena</b> to help with my relaxation process. A couple of these products I am familiar with and already know that I love them. The other two are new to me, so I can't wait to give them a try.</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-PK3qYrqdNvo/U-2BJ8TE71I/AAAAAAAAJBk/Qnh47HpD14o/s1600/IMG_3194.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-PK3qYrqdNvo/U-2BJ8TE71I/AAAAAAAAJBk/Qnh47HpD14o/s1600/IMG_3194.JPG" width="155" /></a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The first is a long time favorite, the </span><b style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Neutrogena Body Oil </b><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">with the light sesame formula-Fragrance Free. While some add this oil directly to their bath water, my preference is to apply it to damp skin and pat dry. It leave my skin feeling soft, moisturized buy not greasy. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TYLXCtEuz6c/U-2BLHSpwpI/AAAAAAAAJB4/VbmEeWlMZU0/s1600/IMG_3197.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TYLXCtEuz6c/U-2BLHSpwpI/AAAAAAAAJB4/VbmEeWlMZU0/s1600/IMG_3197.JPG" width="203" /></a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The next product received, is one I already keep in my handbag, <b>Neutrogena Norwegian Hand Creme</b>. I participated in the <i>Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Hand Cream 7-Day Challenge</i> late last year and prior to that, this had been a tried and true hand cream.<br />
<br />
<br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qiRBLxSjg90/U-2BJgLrTWI/AAAAAAAAJBg/6BWWDbt-gow/s1600/IMG_3195.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-qiRBLxSjg90/U-2BJgLrTWI/AAAAAAAAJBg/6BWWDbt-gow/s1600/IMG_3195.JPG" width="150" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The other two products are the <b>Neutrogena Rainbath Renewing Shower and Bath Gel</b>. The scent is Pear & Green Tea. I would describe the scent as a crisp lemon-lime, but not overpowering. In addition to using as a shower or bath gel, it can also be used as a shave gel.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The last product is the <b>Neutrogena Triple Repair Fortifying Leave-In Treatment</b>. It claims to mend split ends, strengthen dry, brittle hair and protect fro breakage. Its also safe for color-treated hair and also acts as a heat protectant up to 400 degrees. I'll certainly be trying this on my next wash day.</span><br />
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-QLLJ1OGC4Hc/U-2BJyNRkiI/AAAAAAAAJBo/kl_szkB504g/s1600/IMG_3196.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-QLLJ1OGC4Hc/U-2BJyNRkiI/AAAAAAAAJBo/kl_szkB504g/s1600/IMG_3196.JPG" style="cursor: move;" width="212" /></a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Each of these products can be easily found at your local Walmart, Walgreen, CVS, Ulta, along with many other local store or online at Drugstrore.com.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So with these products, my body, hair, and hands are taken care of. Add to this my favorite facial scrub and mask along with a manicure, my DIY at-home Day of Relaxation will be complete. Add to this a nap, and I am relaxed! </span><br />
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OoJ-EyZwiYA/U-2BLdGiWgI/AAAAAAAAJB8/EVntVlssHvY/s1600/IMG_3198.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="245" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-OoJ-EyZwiYA/U-2BLdGiWgI/AAAAAAAAJB8/EVntVlssHvY/s1600/IMG_3198.JPG" width="320" /></a><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">So when you want to really just slow down, and relax what do you do? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Grace, Peace, Joy & Blessings.</span><br />
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-VpC0O6rVJWM/U-18Qd5RLVI/AAAAAAAAJBQ/fxCYXQT1aSI/s1600/Lois%2BSignature%2BFont.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-VpC0O6rVJWM/U-18Qd5RLVI/AAAAAAAAJBQ/fxCYXQT1aSI/s1600/Lois%2BSignature%2BFont.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">*These product were sent to me for review consideration by the PR firm representing the Manufacturer. These however are my honest opinions. I am not employed by nor was I paid by this company. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I wasn't overly impressed with the Enchanted Mermaids collection, but this<b> Limited Edition FingerPaints Film Noir Collection </b>is more to my liking. I wasn't sure what was meant by the "porcelain finish" descriptive. So I was excited to receive these for review. Now I can see it as an unfinished porcelain, almost chalkboard-like, matte finish. These shades are reminiscent of old Hollywood glamour. <i>L to R: Hollywood Decadence, Beautiful Mystery, Film Noir, & Petal Obsession.</i></span><br />

<div style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: right;">
<span style="background-color: #9fc5e8;"><b>Press Sample</b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Ever since their brand revamp, <b>FingerPaints</b> has really been releasing some gorgeous polishes. So of course when I received the offer to review their latest <b>Enchanted Mermaid</b> collection, I was excited to give it a try. The press release described it as below:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">"<b>FingerPaints Enchanted Mermaid </b>Collection is a LIMITED EDITION underworld inspired textured nail collection with 4 sailor-seducing shades. You will fall victim to the temptress effect of this innovative nail collection! The alluring fish scale texture is available in multi-tone shades that shimmer and shift like the friendly underwater creatures. After 2-3 coats you will see the full effect morph! This collection is so unique and eye-catching you are sure to be enchanted!"</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oJ8UeqdTWQ4/U7NPRC2V16I/AAAAAAAAI-E/pggxM20BDRQ/s1600/IMG_2044.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oJ8UeqdTWQ4/U7NPRC2V16I/AAAAAAAAI-E/pggxM20BDRQ/s1600/IMG_2044.JPG" width="200" /></a><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I also really like textured nail polishes so again, I was anxious to give this collection a try. I will admit that I wasn't expecting this type of texture. There is another national brand that had a recent collection called Crinkled Chrome and from the swatches I saw, I had no desire to purchase any of them even when I found them on clearance. </span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When I received this </span><b style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">FingerPaints Enchanted Mermaid</b><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> collection, I was loving the shades in the bottle...they are gorgeous, in...the...bottle. </span></div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Of course, the first shade I wanted to try was the blue, <b>Sailor's Lure</b>, a blue-purple duo chrome. While the color is so pretty, first impressions, I not feeling the finish. This is two coats.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Next is a golden-sage, <b>Underwater Enchantress</b>. Again, this is a pretty shade but the finish is not one I would wear.This is also 2 coats. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-84yyRdhWUik/U7NPRQ-yIVI/AAAAAAAAI98/195m7YU3JV0/s1600/IMG_2112.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: start;"><br /></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KrljgAgCayE/U7NPeOBgMZI/AAAAAAAAI-U/l2ZIQHZM2Qk/s1600/IMG_2100.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KrljgAgCayE/U7NPeOBgMZI/AAAAAAAAI-U/l2ZIQHZM2Qk/s1600/IMG_2100.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I've really been enjoying white manicures lately. This opalescent white is <b>Sea Temptress</b>. While this is 2 coats, to get full opacity, at least 3 coats would be needed.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KSWG_oYbp1E/U7NQTejfeUI/AAAAAAAAI-k/4RMcTpU1Nfs/s1600/IMG_2080.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KSWG_oYbp1E/U7NQTejfeUI/AAAAAAAAI-k/4RMcTpU1Nfs/s1600/IMG_2080.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Last, in this collection of four and probably my favorite is <b>Tails of Love</b>: a teal with a slight purple undertone. This is also 2 coats.</span></div>
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oJ8UeqdTWQ4/U7NPRC2V16I/AAAAAAAAI-E/pggxM20BDRQ/s1600/IMG_2044.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br /></a>
<br />
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jrd7j54ET7o/U7NQTmFfT_I/AAAAAAAAI-o/gOOU-Hhk7W4/s1600/IMG_2057.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jrd7j54ET7o/U7NQTmFfT_I/AAAAAAAAI-o/gOOU-Hhk7W4/s1600/IMG_2057.JPG" width="400" /></a><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Bzy0ZsniJ6g/U7NPQgLZXXI/AAAAAAAAI9w/YrGT5960Mes/s1600/IMG_2069.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Bzy0ZsniJ6g/U7NPQgLZXXI/AAAAAAAAI9w/YrGT5960Mes/s1600/IMG_2069.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In summary, again, the shades are really pretty and I can only hope that <b>FingerPaints </b>will release them again but in a different finish. I'm not feeling this textured finish. If you are interested, this <b>Enchanted Mermaid</b> collection has already been spotted in several Sally Beauty Supply stores. <b>FingerPaints</b> sell for $5.29 or $4.49 with a Beauty Club Card. Have you given this or China Glaze Crinkled Chrome collection a try with any success, and if so what application method did you use?</span><br />

<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3qV_xqmFSdA/U5zqmxOlyoI/AAAAAAAAI7w/cgXpBGwjwO4/s1600/IMG_1265.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="233" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3qV_xqmFSdA/U5zqmxOlyoI/AAAAAAAAI7w/cgXpBGwjwO4/s1600/IMG_1265.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I've made it no secret that I love Blue nail polish. So it was a few weeks ago that I was in Walmart strolling down the nail polish aisle and I spotted a beautiful cobalt blue nail polish. While I have more than I will ever use, I had to at least take a closer look. What to my shock, the Sally Hansen bottle was labeled "Pacific Blue". Being the Blue nail polish connoisseur that I am, I said that had to be a "mis-label", but then I saw more than one bottle. I put it back and resolved to load a picture to my phone so that the next time, there would be no doubt. Although I already knew the answer. Anyway, today I found myself in Walmart again, this time armed with a picture of the much love, cult classic Sally Hansen Pacific Blue; and as I knew, there was a definite change in the polish. Not to take anything away from this impostor, it is a beautiful blue, so I had no problem purchasing it to do a comparison. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When I first saw the new version of Pacific Blue, the first thing I thought was this looks like China Glaze Frostbite, another favorite but not Pacific Blue. So once I got home I quickly went through my stash and found several similar to the new version, two Sally Hansen already had in their inventory, so why "fix" what "ain't" broke?! </span><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-2kTknCb6NQY/U5ztmHFOEAI/AAAAAAAAI80/DUdGdji3RK8/s1600/IMG_1269.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="344" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-2kTknCb6NQY/U5ztmHFOEAI/AAAAAAAAI80/DUdGdji3RK8/s1600/IMG_1269.JPG" width="640" /></a><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Left to Right: China Glaze Frostbite, Sally Hansen Pacific Blue (Original), Sally Hansen Pacific Blue (New), Sally Hanse Blueberry Blast, Sally Hansen CSM Blue My Mind </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-aFxta_V6V5I/U5ztmBaJ41I/AAAAAAAAI84/9Hc2NNfzx0k/s1600/IMG_1270.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="408" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-aFxta_V6V5I/U5ztmBaJ41I/AAAAAAAAI84/9Hc2NNfzx0k/s1600/IMG_1270.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Seen here are some wheel swatches to compare, not that we needed it. It is more than obvious from the bottle that they are different. The formulation is also no comparison. The original Pacific Blue is almost a one-coater, whereas the new version as well as Blueberry Blast is very sheer; pictured here for the new Pacific Blue and Blueberry Blast is 3 coats. And of course, the original is a cream whereas the new is a shimmer. So again, while the new is pretty, I see no reason to remove the original Pacific Blue when Blueberry Blast and Blue My Mind already existed. </span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So here's to our old friend, Sally Hansen Pacific Blue, the original. You will always hold a special place in the hearts of nail polish enthusiasts. I see from my Instagram post and the others that have reposted and commented, like my follow enabler, Gianna at <a href="http://iconosquare.com/viewer.php#/detail/742879019741016206_328574155">Nouveaucheap</a>, the original Sally Hansen Pacific Blue is a much loved nail polish.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Side Note:</b> like I did with the Orly issue, I will be emailing my Sally Hansen contacts to express our dissatisfaction. I would ask that those that blog and also have contacts, please respectfully communicate our displeasure. And for those that do not have a contact, I would suggest you visit the Sally Hansen website Contact Us page...again, I implore you to remain professional and respectful. I'm sure we will get further than if we were to go off half-cocked. </span><br />

However, recently I came across the newly released <b>Orly Color Blast </b>line. And the bottle size change had me puzzled and a little disappointed so I decided to contact my PR contact at <b>Orly</b>. Below is the response of the <i>Director of Communication, John Galea</i> along with the official Press Release.</span><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><u><br /></u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i><u>" I’m thrilled to hear that you’ve been a fan of <b>ORLY</b> for many years. Additionally, I’m very glad that you’ve discovered our new retail line, <b>ORLY Color Blast. </b> <b>ORLY Color Blast </b>is a collection of vibrant colors and textures specifically designed for the retail environment. <b>ORLY Color Care</b> is a portfolio of 12 highly effective treatments to help maintain healthy, beautiful nails.

Of course, prices may vary according to retailer.</u></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i><u>The brand that you’ve loved for years, <b>ORLY </b>has not changed and is available in our .6 oz bottle with the patented Gripper Cap™. <b>ORLY</b> has been the choice of professionals since the company’s inception, and will continue to be an innovator in the professional nail care industry.</u></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i><u>Please note that you were misinformed buy the sales associate at Bed, Bath & Beyond. <b>ORLY</b> has not pulled its signature professional product from the market. <b>ORLY </b>professional will continue to be offered via our traditional channels, while <b>Color Blast </b>will be available at selected retailers. I hope this clarifies any questions you many have, but please feel free to let me know if there is anything else. I’ve also attached a press release for <b>Color Blast</b> and <b>Color Care</b>."</u></i></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In addition, I asked about the formulation of the new <b>Orly Color Blast</b> line as compared to the Original professional line. Here is Mr. Galea's response to that question:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;"><i><u><br /></u></i></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i><u>"No there’s no difference in formulation, but our goal was to simplify for the consumer. Bring the best of professional to the retail environment. It’s about color, texture and a self-service shopping experience."</u></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><i><u><br /></u></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>~OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE~</b></span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So my overall opinion of the brand extension? I guess it's good for those who can't easily get to <b>Orly</b>. And looking at the shades included in the Color Blast collection, they've included some of the brand's favorites.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">“The Muppets are a fun-loving, colorful cast of characters. These eight new nail lacquers were inspired by their latest adventures in <b>Disney’s Muppets Most Wanted</b>, which include a glamorous international stage tour – and lots of surprises,” explains<b> Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, OPI Co-Founder & Executive VP</b>. “Fashionable Miss Piggy is represented through soft pink, peach and pearlescent hues, as well as a frosty sapphire blue – <b>Miss Piggy’s Big Number</b> – to match her fabulous tour gown. The remaining four shades highlight the film’s unexpected elements and include a color-shifting mauve and three sparkle-packed lacquers – including my personal favorite <b>Gaining Mole-mentum</b>, a gold and rose chunky shredded glitter.” </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Disney’s “Muppets Most Wanted” takes the entire Muppets gang on a global tour, selling out grand theaters in some of Europe’s most exciting destinations, including Berlin, Madrid, Dublin and London. But mayhem follows the Muppets overseas, as they find themselves unwittingly entangled in an international crime caper headed by Constantine—the World’s Number One Criminal and a dead ringer for Kermit—and his dastardly sidekick Dominic, aka Number Two, portrayed by Ricky Gervais. The film stars Tina Fey as Nadya, a feisty prison guard, and Ty Burrell as Interpol agent Jean Pierre Napoleon. Disney’s “Muppets Most Wanted” is directed by James Bobin and produced by David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman. Bobin co-wrote the screenplay with Nicholas Stoller, who is also executive producer with John G. Scotti. Featuring music from Academy Award®-winning songwriter Bret McKenzie, “Muppets Most Wanted” hits the big screen March 21, 2014.

Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5102417002566580267.post-15557391555892999072013-11-26T00:00:00.000-05:002019-08-29T18:55:08.737-04:00NOTD: My new Favorite Purple!<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Today, I'm sharing another mono-chromatic manicure. Today's theme is purple. I recently found a purple I had been wanting for ages. During a trip to Bed, Bath & Beyond, I found it...<b>Color Club's Disco Dress</b> had been on my wish list since I saw it posted on someone's blog. This color is absolutely, drop dead, GORGEOUS!!! It doesn't lean red and it doesn't lean blue...IMO, it is the perfect royal purple. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">For this manicure, I used <b>Color Club Disco Dress</b> (Index, Pinkie, & Thumb), <b>Jordana Purple Punch</b> (Middle), and <b>Sinful Colors Purple Gleam</b> (Ring).</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b></b></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b>Color Club Disco Dress</b> is the most gorgeous purple. The formulation is almost a one-coater. It dries matte. The one draw-back is the strong smell. As with all nail polishes, be sure to be in a well ventilated area when polishing your nails. This <b>Jordana Purple Punch</b> is a pretty shimmer, that leans pinky-purple. The third polish used is one of the new <b>Sinful Colors Crystal Crushes</b> in <b>Purple Gleam</b>. I was slow to join the texture bandwagon, but now I love them and am trying to get most of them. <b>Purple Gleam</b> has a pink micro glitter. The texture is not as pronounced or textured as <i>OPI Liquid Sand</i> or <i>Zoya Pixie Dust</i>. But still a good one and should be a part of all collector's stash.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Here is <b>Disco Dress</b> with a top coat. This is one of those manicures, I admired throughout the day. With all the polishes I own I really don't have a dupe to this polish. I really need to get a backup bottle. I also need to see what collection this was a part of. I would love to see other shades in this formulation.</span><br />

It gives the the look of nail art without having to have the artistic abilities...LOL! I think this will make for a great holiday manicure.</span><br />
<br />

One of the shades I purchased was <b>China Glaze Mingle with Kringle</b>, a gorgeous cool yellow gold foil. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Once I decided on using Mingle with Kringle for my next manicure, it was easy to decide on the rest. Today's manicure includes,<b> China Glaze Mingle with Kringle</b>, <i>OPI Honey Ryder</i>, <i>Orly Luxe</i>, and <i>Sally Hansen Glitter Gun</i>. These four shades are all in the same color family but have different finishes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I also love that it almost gives the mannequin hand look but with that extra bling. </span><br />

And the Winter gift-giving holidays are within weeks. <b>ChapStick</b>, the brand that has been around for over 100 years, has provided some great stocking stuffer possibilities as well as some fun gifts for friends, teachers, and co-workers. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This holiday season, <b>ChapStick</b> has released some limited edition Holiday Tins. Each tin holds three full-sized <b>ChapSticks</b>. Some, three of the classic flavors (strawberry, cherry and spearmint) and others the candy cane seasonal flavor. And to make finding these tins even more fun, <b>ChapStick</b> has released these tins to various locations...Target, Walgreens and Walmart. Each having their own exclusive tins.<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

These are all great for gifting. <b>ChapStick </b>has really grown up. I remember my first experience with <b>ChapStick</b>. I will always remember that little black and white tube, the original <b>ChapStick</b>.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">In addition to the tins above, exclusive to Target, are the <b>ChapStick</b><i> Collector's Edition Ornament Tins.</i> These adorable round tins each contain 3 of the candy cane tubes (my favorite!) With the little ribbon, they also make great hanging ornaments.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Each of these tins retail for approximately $4.99. And it you are wanting just a single tube, they are retailing between $1-2. We also need to remember, <b>ChapStick</b> isn't just for the colder months. I use it year-round to keep my lips moisturized. One of my favorite uses, is as a "primer" when I wear matte lipsticks. So the next time you are in Walmart, Target or Walgreens, pick up a few for those last minute stocking stuffers. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">October well known as Breast Cancer Awareness month and receives tremendous support and although I've been blessed enough not to have had any of my<span style="text-align: center;"> </span><span style="text-align: center;">immediate family or friends impacted, I, also show my support. B</span>ut <b>November is Diabetes Awareness Month</b> and this hits very close to home.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It is estimated that Diabetes affects 25.8 million people of all ages, that’s 8.3 % of the U.S. Population. It is the leading cause of kidney failure, new cases of blindness among adults, non-traumatic amputations, a major cause of heart disease and stroke. Diabetes is the 7th leading cause of death in the U.S. (U.S. Dept of HHS)</span></div>
<br />

<div style="text-align: right;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Chances are you or someone you love will be or has been touched by this disease, but it does not have to be a death sentence. <b>November is American Diabetes Month</b>. So to honor the memory of my Father, and to support my dear friends affected by Diabetes, I ask that you to support the <b>American Diabetes Associate </b>Raise Your Hand to Stop Diabetes Campaign.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Are you concerned about your risk or the risk of a loved-one? The <b>American Diabetes Association</b>'s website has tons of information including a risk test. If you are concerned please visit, <a href="http://www.diabetes.org/"><b>www.diabetes.org</b></a> and if you want to take the quick online risk test, Click <a href="http://www.diabetes.org/diabetes-basics/prevention/diabetes-risk-test/?loc=DropDownDB-RiskTest"><b>Here</b></a>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">One way I am showing my support, in lieu of a gray ribbon, is to wear gray nail polish. Today's manicure consists of <b>Orly Decoded</b>, and accented with <b>Nina Pro Shooting Star</b>, and<b> FingerPaints Colorful Collage</b>.</span></div>

This morning I awoke to an Instagram milestone I never thought possible, 1K Followers. I have a few other giveaways planned for the near future, but I had to do something to say "Thank You" for this point in my lG existence. So what to do? Yesterday I posted on Instagram the <b>Limited Edition Revlon Nail Appliqués By Marchesa. </b></span><br />

They're excellent for those special holiday occasions that are fast approaching. And what makes this giveaway even sweeter is that because there is no spill risk, I can open this to my international followers...YIPPEE!!</span></div>

I've done this for the past few years. This year is no different. I've been very blessed that none of my immediate friends and family have been impacted by breast cancer. But that doesn't mean I don't help in the fight. Earlier this week, as I was posting about <b>Breast Cancer Awareness</b>, I e-met one of my Twitter followers. As as fate would have it, she was scheduled to start a new round of chemotherapy on October 1st, So I decided to dedicated my 2013 BCA manicures to "lovenailpolish3". I'm praying her strength and healing. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">For my first manicure, I was determined to find and use the <b>OPI 2013 Pink of Hearts</b> duo. Fortunately, I found it at my local Ulta ($15.95 USD). This year the <b>OPI </b>BCA collection was made up of <b>OPI Pink-Ing of You</b>, a baby pink jelly and <b>OPI More Than A Glimmer</b>. This collection also comes with BCA Pink Ribbon nail stickers and stick on gems. While these two polishes would have been enough, I just felt the need for another color, so I pulled from my stash a favorite pink from 2012-<b>OPI If You Moust, You Moust</b> (2013 Minnie Mouse Collection)</span></div>
