Review: Covergirl XL nail gel



#instaGLAM!  Well done COVERGIRL!  I'm impressed! I have always been an OPI / Essie snob. Never swayed until now.  One swipe gives me an intense high gloss gel finish that lasts 5 days.  No UV lamps! No fuss! No chips!  After the 5 day mark, I layer on a quick 2nd coat to touch up and I am good for another 2-3 days.  Love it!  Pair this polish with Seche Vite fast drying top coat and you have yourself the ultimate combo. My nails are done in 5 minutes. #getyourselfsome

Daily Randomness:
-wow! I can't get over how nice it has been lately. It feels like summer but looks like fall! The mr and I spent the weekend baking in the sun along the escarpment.  Double heart!! 
-yessss! Grey's is back on!  Loving the whole Meredith / Alex thing
-dear Bell Canada you suck.  How dare you cancel my service appointment without notifying me.  I sat at home waiting for your technician for 3 hours.  Grrrrrr!

Review: ImPRESS press on manicure


When it comes to my nails I love fast & easy.  I received the ImPRESS press on nails in the mail a couple weeks ago and put it to the test.  It was super fast to apply with no mess (love!!).   You literally peel back the plastic backing and press on.  My manicure was done in 5 mins!!


The press on nails looked great but because I had a business meeting the next day I felt zebra tipped nails were a touch too "street diva" and slapped on a coat of nail polish leaving my accent finger.  The nails lasted 3 days not a week as claimed.   I peeled the remainder off in the shower with no issues. They came off like a sticker with no damage to my nails.  Big bonus!!  

Overall I enjoyed my imPRESS press on nails.  My only wish is for more contemporary / less bling bling nail designs.  These would be great to slap on the night before a special event. Key word: the night before or a day before max!! ( you don't want these suckers to fall off at the event!).  imPRESS press on manicure sets can be picked up at your local  Wal-mart for under $10 bucks!  They are currently on rollback for $7.47!!

-Orange is the New Black is back on Netflix!!!  yah!!
-Ventured to the beach last week and boy was lake Huron ever cold!!  Brrrr...
-I'm Boycotting MAC cosmetics!  What happened to their customer service.  I've been a MAC customer for numerous years but in last couple of years have turned away from them as my needs changed.  This month i picked a few items on a whim and tried to return them 2 days ago (without the receipt .. my bad can't find it anywhere). Not good!  Even though i purchased these items at that location, and am in their system they refuse to process a return or exchange.  I'm stuck with these goodies that i will probably never use.  Lesson learned .. never pick anything up at MAC on a whim and stick to Sephora! Bye bye MAC!
