Since I live in the country, I enjoy my magazines coming to the house.  But I recently went to amazon to order some and everything was automatic renewal - yuk!! that is something else I have to keep up with.  After multiple brain surgeries there is not room for too much stuff that must be remembered.  This needs to be simplified.

Ok - my recent nail polish experience ~ When I broke my back earlier this year, I stopped going to the nail salon because I could not sit up long enough to have my gel manicure.  But I still want color & protection so I was anxious to try the new gel-like polishes that have come on the market.  My first venture involved  Nutra Nail Gel Perfect - oh my, what a disappointment!!

It is a multiple process which if it had worked would have been ok - it did not.  In less than a day, there were major chips - from just taking a shower!!!!!!!!!!  It was tough to get off - regular polish remover would not budge the color.  So in the trash it goes.  It's a shame because the Snapdragon was a nice color.
So the next day I try the Revlon Gel Envy - there are some lovely colors in this line and I chose Up the Ante: it's a pretty plum color ~

I also used the Top Coat recommended so I am praying I get more than 24 hours wear~!
Stay tuned!

Let me follow up with a small review about the Calvin Klein mascara I received from Ulta - the pic is below in a previous post.  There was no significant volume and the brush was too big; it would require several applications for any dimension & that would try my patience.
Also, not being waterproof means I am going to throw it away - there are many others I am excited to try, so onward & upward.

For me, Labor Day gives me permission to decorate for fall  -
some of my favorite colors: 


I hope your holiday was wonderful!
