I am getting back into making my soaps, and it's been tremendously therapeutic!<br />
<br />
I mentioned in a vlog on my <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/TarotLadyLissa" target="_blank">YouTube</a> page last week that I wanted some ideas for a new soap to add to my new <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/LissyBotique" target="_blank">Etsy</a> shop. Well one of my subscribers had a great idea... An Autism Awareness soap!<br />
<br />
I instantly thought about how awesome this could be! Not only could I make an awesome soap that everyone will love, but we can take it a step further and DONATE the proceeds to my favorite Autism charity.. <a href="http://www.autismspeaks.org/" target="_blank">Autism Speaks</a>!<br />
<br />
That's where you guys come into play. On the right hand side bar (very top) of this page is a link that will allow you to donate for the supplies needed to make this awesome soap. Once I have gathered enough to get all of the supplies needed I'll start the soap! Once the soap is ready I will put it in my Etsy shop and sell it. Then I will donate the proceeds from the soap, along with any extra from the supply donations to Autism Speaks!<br />
<br />
I will be keeping a detailed list of all of those who contributed to this project, both supply donations and soap buyers. I will do so because I want to include this list of names with my donation so that Autism Speaks will know that this donation is not all me... they will know that you guys came together as a community to make this happen. I'm just the hands that created it, but you guys made it happen!<br />
<br />
Thank you guys so much in advance.... Let's Do This!!!!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Brightest Blessings,<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I feel</span> <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">like I am so behind the times. I have seen so many other nail bloggers post pictures and sing the praises of Zoya for years now. I have wanted to try them for a very long time. For some reason though, I just never got around to it. Well, I am here to tell you that if you are at all on the fence about it, just do it! You won't be sorry.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I decided to give Zoya a try last week when they were having a sale. I figured that if for some reason I didn't like it, at least I wouldn't have paid full price.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Once I placed the order I was even more excited that I thought I would have been. I watched the mail like a hawk! When they finally got here I'm sure I looked like my 7 year old daughter on Christmas morning! I ripped that package open and dug right in! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I was super impressed with their packaging! All three of the little bottles were nestled into a cute little black box. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9tWt5xi8mOA/UPnXDkFRrgI/AAAAAAAAA2Y/7S0BiCLqJfc/s1600/IMG_0005_zps7ad28962.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="355" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-9tWt5xi8mOA/UPnXDkFRrgI/AAAAAAAAA2Y/7S0BiCLqJfc/s400/IMG_0005_zps7ad28962.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Inside that cute little box were three beautiful colors! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cl63zNDFT9w/UPnXEfP09CI/AAAAAAAAA2o/9POiSNctqNA/s1600/IMG_0009_zpsb3f030bf.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="268" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-cl63zNDFT9w/UPnXEfP09CI/AAAAAAAAA2o/9POiSNctqNA/s400/IMG_0009_zpsb3f030bf.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The first one <b>Heidi</b>, a lovely orange/coral creme. I was already excited by the color, but I was even more impressed with the application! It glided over my nails like a dream. No pooling around the cuticles and no brush marks left behind. I got beautiful, shiny, full coverage in just two coats!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-yMGRFadKvyA/UPnXDxunBqI/AAAAAAAAA2c/jNKwMuRGKdI/s1600/IMG_0014_zpsb2d02ac8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-yMGRFadKvyA/UPnXDxunBqI/AAAAAAAAA2c/jNKwMuRGKdI/s400/IMG_0014_zpsb2d02ac8.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Below is Heidi - 2 coats, no topcoat! Look how shiny!!!</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bRxTilCakIM/UPnXETkMe2I/AAAAAAAAA2s/J9PBu31QXOc/s1600/IMG_0016_zps283e178f.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="312" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bRxTilCakIM/UPnXETkMe2I/AAAAAAAAA2s/J9PBu31QXOc/s400/IMG_0016_zps283e178f.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Next up is <b>Barbie</b>. It's a flirty pale pink with the lightest touch of hot pink iridescence. This one wasn't as impressive as far as application is concerned, but the overall look is amazing. The formula on this one is a little thinner, and definitely not as opaque. It took 3 coats to conceal my free edge. I love this color though. It's flirty, fun and in the sunlight has a subtle hot pink shimmer. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cXuI2XSCLd8/UPnXEgj3CrI/AAAAAAAAA20/G3gDZrgdNxc/s1600/IMG_0020_zpse347a047.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cXuI2XSCLd8/UPnXEgj3CrI/AAAAAAAAA20/G3gDZrgdNxc/s400/IMG_0020_zpse347a047.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Below is <b>Barbie</b> - 3 coats, no topcoat.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qDrP2bp77pc/UPnXFkUo9HI/AAAAAAAAA3I/MikHm9K85w8/s1600/IMG_0026_zps8b020935.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-qDrP2bp77pc/UPnXFkUo9HI/AAAAAAAAA3I/MikHm9K85w8/s400/IMG_0026_zps8b020935.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Lastly we have <b>Wednesday</b>. It's a pale turquoise creme that is even more beautiful in person. Just like <b>Heidi</b>, this one applied flawlessly with just two coats. I am in love with this color! Of the three, this is my favorite!</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Npsku6NBJ-8/UPnXFWM8j4I/AAAAAAAAA3A/A6AZj5_5AMk/s1600/IMG_0028_zps44a04523.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Npsku6NBJ-8/UPnXFWM8j4I/AAAAAAAAA3A/A6AZj5_5AMk/s400/IMG_0028_zps44a04523.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I can honestly say that I love these! The formulas are great, even if <b>Barbie</b> is a little on the thin side. I like the brush too... It's not to thin and not too long. It applies just the right amount of polish. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The best part for me though is their formulation. Long wearing, vegan friendly, paraben free AND it's also free of formaldehyde, toluene, camfor and dibutyl phthalate! So basically you get kick ass colors, smooth application AND none of the yucky chemicals! For me, that's a win/win! </span></div>

Winter Solstice is actually on my birthday (December 21) so I decided to do a look that was fun, fresh and full of winter blues!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started off with <b>Essie [Smooth Sailing]</b> and sponged on a generic silver polish. After that I used a thin coat of <b>OPI [Pirouette My Whistle]</b> and then topped it with a swirl of the generic silver with a thin brush.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
For me, no New Year's Celebration is complete without GLITTER!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For this manicure I decided to do a glitter gradient using my 3 favorite glitter polishes by <a href="http://www.julep.com/rewardsref/index/refer/id/72688/" target="_blank">Julep</a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">I call this manicure "Champagne on Ice"!</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started with one coat of [<b><i>Vivien</i></b>], it's a beautiful sheer gold with small and large gold hex glitters. Then About 1/3 of the way up the nail from the cuticle I applied one thin coat of [<b><i>Colbie</i></b>]. It's a gorgeous green with lots of gold. In person it is super sparkly! On the free edge I applied one coat of [<b><i>Harper</i></b>]. A stunning teal/green that is packed with teal, green and gold micro glitter. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Together the work very well and each one is a stunner on it's own. You can purchase any of these beauties at <b><a href="http://www.julep.com/rewardsref/index/refer/id/72688/" target="_blank">julep.com</a> </b></div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;">Let It Snow Challenge Week #4</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Christmas/Holiday Nails</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sorry I'm a little late with this post. The holidays got a bit crazy and I just didn't have the time. Not to mention that we had to take our 7 year old Daughter Jacqueline to the ER the day after Christmas! She has the Flu. Don't worry though, she'll be ok!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So for this challenge I wanted to go with a sophisticated manicure that could be worn to any holiday party... upscale or not. I went with a dark green, almost black polish by <b>OPI [<i>Nein! Nein! Nein! Ok Fine</i>]. </b>It has a great grey quality to it that I love! I topped it off with <b>NYC [<i>Matte Me Crazy Topcoat</i>]</b>. It gave it a wonderful leather like look. Then I just barely tipped the free edge with <b>Covergirl Outlast [<i>185</i>]</b>. It's a glossy, patent leather red with a metallic finish. On the accent nail I used <b>Revlon [<i>571- Posh</i>]</b>. I topped the Revlon with a generic green glitter striping polish.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
It's a simple, yet sophisticated look that would work well on any nail length!<br />

This week's challenge theme was a ton of fun! It didn't turn out quite like I wanted it to, but I'm still calling this one a success! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used one coat of <b><i>OPI [OPI Red]</i></b> with one coat of <b><i>OPI [Animalistic]</i></b> on top to give it depth and sparkle. I used my <b><i>ArtDeco Striping polish [white]</i></b> to "draw" on the design. Then I used <b><i>OPI [Jade is the New Black]</i></b> mixed with a pinch of <b><i>green glitter</i></b> on a piece of foil for the accents. </div>

You just take their style quiz to find out which box you best match with (but you can change your style choice month to month if you want!). When you first sign up, for $19.99, Julep sends you an intro box, and then you'll start receiving your monthly boxes! On the 20th of every month, Julep sends out a promo email, previewing next month's boxes and special deals. Here's some goodies of the Julep Maven program:</span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This one was really fun to do! I decided to go with "Oh Christmas Tree". My daughter loves to sing it, and she was humming it the other day and it got stuck in my head. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I started with <b>OPI [<i>Berlin there Done That</i>] </b>as the "undies" of this manicure. Then I topped it off a thin coat of <b>Nicole</b> by <b>OPI [<i>A Gold Winters Night</i>]</b>. It's got gold micro glitter and bar glitter with hints of teal bar glitter. It's the perfect holiday polish!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

The Christmas tree accent was really easy. One of the gals on the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/groups/321349634595494/" target="_blank">The Nail Challenge Colaborative</a> Facebook page posted a picture on how to do Chevron with tape. So I just taped off the nail, leaving a triangle shape on the center of the nail. I filled it in with green polish and put some hex glitters and beads on it for ornaments. I found a star shaped glitter and topped my tree! Once it all dried I topped it with my Sologel soak off gel topcoat and cured it for 2 minutes under a 36watt UV lamp. </div>

So a few nights ago I discovered something amazing while doing my nails! I was painting my nails with a glitter polish and had my trust Elmer's glue out to use as my base coat. If you've never hear of this technique here's a quick run down...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you paint a thin layer of Elmer's School Glue onto your nail and let it dry before painting your nails with glitter, you'll be able to "peel" the glitter off later rather than struggle with it come removal time. I'll have to do a video on that sometime.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway, I had got some of the glue on my skin and discovered that when it peeled off my skin, so to did the polish I had gotten on my skin! Then it hit me... If I paint my skin around my nails with glue and let it dry, I won't have to bust out the Q-Tips later to clean up my cuticles when I'm done! i tried it out, and it worked like a charm!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's a quick video I made last night to show just how easy and awesome it is!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

Week 1: Let it Snow Challenge</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Snowflakes</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For this look, I didn't want to do the expected. I am sure most of the ladies doing this challenge did the drawn on or stamped snowflake designs. That's not to say they aren't stunningly beautiful, but I wanted to do something different.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wanted the feel of a sparkly, winter snowfall. While my camera failed to capture it's sparkle, it still looks pretty good.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7GbrFal0aWU/ULvPtYypRLI/AAAAAAAAAzo/gmPCmGHZ9R4/s1600/IMG_0036.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="248" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7GbrFal0aWU/ULvPtYypRLI/AAAAAAAAAzo/gmPCmGHZ9R4/s320/IMG_0036.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I started out with one coat of <i style="font-weight: bold;">Julep's [Vivien]</i>, it's a gold glitter that is packed with super shiny gold hex glitter. After that I used my dotting tool and with some generic white nail polish I made tiny white dots. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's hard to see, but after the white was dry I applied a coat of <b><i>OPI's [Pirouette My Whistle]</i></b>. It's a soft silver glitter with bits of white pearl glitter. I think it looks very snow like, but for some reason they didn't want to photograph well. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-uSb-qKJ20Pw/ULvO722puBI/AAAAAAAAAzg/M3JQ5h-aJ6k/s1600/IMG_0047.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-uSb-qKJ20Pw/ULvO722puBI/AAAAAAAAAzg/M3JQ5h-aJ6k/s320/IMG_0047.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
All in all, I think it turned out great. Like a gold and silver snow globe! The pearl glitters look like snowflakes and the white dots enhance the look. Next time I may add some pale blue or lavender glitters as well.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope you enjoyed my Week 1 look following the theme: <b>Snowflakes</b></div>

I was browsing my <b><a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/" target="_blank">BlogLovin</a></b> feed last night looking for some nail art ideas. This of course led to about of hour of reading blogs. Then I came across a post by Victoria from the blog <b><a href="http://www.manicurator.com/2012/06/abstract-nail-art-challenge-household.html" target="_blank">Manicurator</a></b>! It was simple, fun and easy nail splatter design. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Normally, I don't do splatter nails. They can be very messy, and for me are kind of hit and miss. You dip a straw in your polish and blow it onto your nails. This can be very "gloppy" and goopy. So I was super excited to give Victoria's version a try.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
She used a spray bottle! Genius! It was easy to do, and the effect is beautiful! Here's what you need:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<ul style="text-align: center;">
<li>Small EMPTY Spray Bottle</li>
<li>2 Nail Polishes</li>
<li>Nail Polish Thinner</li>
<li>Scotch Tape </li>
<li>Paper Towels</li>
<li>Q-Tips</li>
<li>Nail Polish Remover</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So here's what I did. I painted my nails with 2 coats of <b>OPI's (My Very First Knockwurst)</b>. Once my base color was dry it was time to mix my nail polish spray. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For the spray I decided to use a cheap nail polish. I don't know the name of it though, it was from the Dollar Tree. I used a cheap one so I wouldn't waste any of my good polishes. I added a small amout of polish to the clean, empty spray bottle. I didn't measure it, but if I had to guess I'd say it was about 1/2 a teaspoon.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then I added a few drops of polish thinner. I kept adding thinner until the polish was a more liquid consistency. You have to play around with the ratio until you get the effect you want. I would add a few drops, shake the bottle and then do a test spray onto a piece of paper. Once I got the spray pattern the way I wanted it was time to do it on my nails!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Using the tape, tape around your nails to help minimize clean-up. Cover your work are with paper towels. Now hold the spray bottle about 6 inches above your nails (I did my 4 fingers first and then the thumb separately) and gently spray. You may need more than one spritz depending on how you want it to look. Once you have it how you like, remove the tape and let it dry completely before doing the other hand.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After both hands are done, use your q-tip and polish remover to clean up the polish on your fingers and hand. Top coat and your done! Here's how mine turned out...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-W5sh5gRD9HU/UKAUhvjRMII/AAAAAAAAAyg/5h02RlGAcIE/s1600/S5000043.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="285" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-W5sh5gRD9HU/UKAUhvjRMII/AAAAAAAAAyg/5h02RlGAcIE/s320/S5000043.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love the random pattern with the bigger splats mixed with the small ones! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The topcoat I used had tiny pastel glitters in it, but it looks just as good with plain old clear! Next time I might try a high gloss base color and a matte spray or the other way around!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hope you try it! If you do, let me know how it turns out!!</div>

OK, it's not what you think! I was looking through my polishes and I had a few that I haven't used yet. So I decided to pick one. Once I did my nails, I decided to add some glitter. Then I decided to do it with a matte topcoat. So today I had one manicure, three ways!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The color I decided on trying on today was <b>OPI </b>(<b><i>I Have A Herring Problem</i></b>). I love this color! It's a very pretty blue/grey with subtle silver shimmer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-IGdXTLg3sHo/UJy2Mpfp9sI/AAAAAAAAAx4/CZLWvZcl-nE/s1600/S5000004.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="309" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-IGdXTLg3sHo/UJy2Mpfp9sI/AAAAAAAAAx4/CZLWvZcl-nE/s320/S5000004.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
[Above] The flash brought out the blue tones and shows off the subtle silver sparkle! It's a stunner by it's self. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
[Above] In natural light you can see the grey tones better.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Because I can't ever leave well enough alone, I decided to add a coat of <b>NYC (<i>Starry Silver</i>). </b>It's packed with tiny silver micro glitter and medium sized blue and purple hex glitter. My daylight was going away so the next few pictures read more grey than blue. Trust me when I say, it's more like periwinkle in person.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9NSnTstUbg0/UJy2OBeXaMI/AAAAAAAAAyI/8eshW3J2XTU/s1600/S5000013-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="256" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9NSnTstUbg0/UJy2OBeXaMI/AAAAAAAAAyI/8eshW3J2XTU/s320/S5000013-1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
[Above] <b>NYC (<i>Starry Silver</i>)</b>- 2 coats, no topcoat.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As i was cleaning up my polish "station", I laid eyes on my <b>Julep</b> <i><b>Matte Topcoat</b></i>. I had to try it out! I'm glad I did! I'll try to get better pictures tomorrow. I really hoped that the blue would show up better. The last few days I have been doing a bit of experimentation with the matte topcoat over glitters. It's a really great combo!</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I am in LOVE with my new Julep Matte/Suede topcoat! It came as a part of my November Julep Maven Box. Along with it were two Suede finish polishes. I'll swatch those later. For now, let's talk about this topcoat! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This is my first experience with matte finishes. I always had a bit of an aversion to them. I imagined them as having a chalky feel, or feeling like un-glazed ceramic. I'm not a fan of that feel/texture. I almost skipped this month's Julep box because I wasn't too keen to try the mattes. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">After looking at a few of my fellow bloggers posts on the subject of matte polish, I decided to go ahead and give it a try. I am so glad that I did! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The first thing I tried was the topcoat. I had just done my nails the day before and in the interest of not redoing my manicure, I thought I would just try the topcoat on top of my mani. It went on glossy just like any other topcoat. As it dried the shine went away. I actually loved the look. I waited for it to dry and touched it. It felt like a soft suede. Amazing! Even on top of my glitter manicure, it looked great!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">It looks like it has a tiny bit of shine, but that's the flash of my camera. in person it's not that shiny. It's a soft, brushed satin kind of look. I love it on top of my glitter manicure! I had on 2 coats of OPI's <i>I Brake For Manicures</i> and 2 coats of OPI's <i>Pirouette My Whistle</i>. I topped it off with 1 coat of Julep's <i>Matte Top Coat</i>.</span><br />

As winter here in the North East approaches, my hair and scalp get so dry and itchy! As a brunette, flakes can be VERY problematic! They are much more visible for us darker haired folks. Blonde gals get it too though, so really, everyone who suffers from flakes and itching can empathize with my love/hate for the cold winter season!<br />

<br /><br /><br />OPI adds four new, limited-edition designs to the Pure Lacquer Nail App collection, which offers instant, easy-to-apply nail designs. The precut nail strips are made of 100% real nail lacquer and provide a high-shine finish, long-lasting wear, and zero drying time. The new designs inspired by Skyfall include <b>Nice Tux</b>(silver and black glitter zig zag stripe), <b>Positively Shocking</b>(glittery gold), <b>Floating Dragon</b> (bright red crème with black dragon print) and <b>Shaken Not Stirred</b> (silver with martini glass print).<br /><br />“We are pleased to expand our Pure Lacquer Nail App offerings with designs inspired by OPI’s thrilling partnership with EON Productions and Skyfall,” says Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, OPI Executive VP & Artistic Director. “The popularity of nail design is booming with both the everyday woman and nail professionals. Pure Lacquer Nail Apps provide women with quick, easy and unique nail looks, offering long-lasting designs that could not be created by hand.”<br /><br />To apply, peel off plastic cover and place Nail Apps on nails, while smoothing down all edges. Each pack contains 16 strips to ensure perfect sizing for all finger and toe nails. File the nail edge to remove any strip excess. Pure Lacquer Nail Apps already contain a base coat and top coat; do not use regular base or top coat with the strips. Simply remove with an acetone polish remover. For longer wear (about two weeks), have a manicurist cure the nail strips with OPI’s GelColor Top Coat.<br /><br /><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 19px; text-indent: 0.5in;">

<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zegfnimlyS8/UIw-ByALEmI/AAAAAAAAAw4/RGR_CXW-8m4/s1600/brew9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="181" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-zegfnimlyS8/UIw-ByALEmI/AAAAAAAAAw4/RGR_CXW-8m4/s320/brew9.jpg" width="320" /></a>I love holiday themed nail art! So last night I was trying to think of something other than the usual pumpkin and ghost nails. Then it hit me!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A few weeks ago I got a package from <span style="color: #38761d; font-weight: bold;"> <a href="http://www.julep.com/rewardsref/index/refer/id/72688/" target="_blank">www.Julep.com</a> </span>and my nail polish was wrapped in bubble wrap. I thought then to save it for nail art! I know, why the heck would I save bubble wrap for my nails?! Well, I've seen people use plastic bags to add texture to their nail art designs. So I thought that maybe bubble wrap would work too! And guess what? It did!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>It's super easy to do too! So here's what I did...</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-eW4uvdcU3kU/UIw99fs0q7I/AAAAAAAAAv4/hUwhet2xP74/s1600/brew1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="229" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-eW4uvdcU3kU/UIw99fs0q7I/AAAAAAAAAv4/hUwhet2xP74/s320/brew1.jpg" width="320" /></a>I started out with a base coat. I always use a base coat, and you should too! It protects your nails from stains. And because my color scheme is in the green range of colors they would stain yellow if i didn't base coat first. Ask me how I know! lol</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4X3qw1ru6rA/UIw9-pLU1QI/AAAAAAAAAwI/47Ht0lAFW_Q/s1600/brew3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="243" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-4X3qw1ru6rA/UIw9-pLU1QI/AAAAAAAAAwI/47Ht0lAFW_Q/s320/brew3.jpg" width="320" /></a>After my base coat, I applied one coat of Sally Hansen's Hard as Nails in the color <b><i>Limestone</i></b>. It goes on slightly streaky, but honestly it doesn't matter. We'll be covering most of it up later. Make this and all of your layers except the last one we'll do as thin as you can. It will dry faster and your overall nail look won't be too thick.</div>
<br />
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NkC4vuB7mmg/UIw9_Gg-zqI/AAAAAAAAAwQ/03KUeiqnvkk/s1600/brew4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NkC4vuB7mmg/UIw9_Gg-zqI/AAAAAAAAAwQ/03KUeiqnvkk/s320/brew4.jpg" width="320" /></a>Once my green coat is completely dry, I applied 2 thin coats of OPI's <b><i>Zom-body to Love</i></b>. This color was released last Halloween as part of a limited edition set. It's a pretty green that glows in the dark. You can use any green or yellow glow in the dark polish you have though. </div>
<br />
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0embNChYKEg/UIw-Ad8lj0I/AAAAAAAAAwg/B2UFFbS1-DQ/s1600/brew6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="190" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0embNChYKEg/UIw-Ad8lj0I/AAAAAAAAAwg/B2UFFbS1-DQ/s320/brew6.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
Now for the fun part! Once your nails are completely dry, apply one thick coat of a dark green color. The color I used is a dark grey with a hint of forest green to it. It's OPI's <b><i>Nein! Nein! Nein! OK Fine!</i></b> . It is part of the Germany collection. It's a hard color to describe, but you can use any dark grey, green or black color.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-M3o24aVhxhU/UIw9_5PtaLI/AAAAAAAAAwY/G2HIpjF9Gx0/s1600/brew5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="229" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-M3o24aVhxhU/UIw9_5PtaLI/AAAAAAAAAwY/G2HIpjF9Gx0/s320/brew5.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-AwSvjnGop_I/UIw-AzSJ1_I/AAAAAAAAAwo/kCfNvDLcbOM/s1600/brew7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-AwSvjnGop_I/UIw-AzSJ1_I/AAAAAAAAAwo/kCfNvDLcbOM/s320/brew7.jpg" width="320" /></a>While this darker layer is still fairly wet, carefully press your bubble wrap onto the nail. Try not to let it slide around. We want to keep the bubble shape somewhat intact. Once you have pressed the bubbles into the nail polish, gently lift the bubble wrap up to remove it. Some of your dark color will come off with the bubble wrap, revealing the lighter green, glow in the dark base!</div>
<br />
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gafbQJcWnCA/UIw-BZqIFTI/AAAAAAAAAww/fPlV_KRUikU/s1600/brew8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-gafbQJcWnCA/UIw-BZqIFTI/AAAAAAAAAww/fPlV_KRUikU/s320/brew8.jpg" width="313" /></a>And that's it! Topcoat and your done! The bubble shapes and mossy colors reminded me of a witch's cauldron. That's why I am calling this "Bubblin' Brew". The green swirls look really neat in the dark too! It would work great with any color combinations even without the glow polish.</div>

it’s a topic of conversation with friends.
Social media is a great way for us to share with our friends our
experiences with new products. We tweet about products; we post on our Facebook
walls the good, the bad and the ugly. We even make Pinterest boards that
highlight the things we love. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Influenster combines your love of trying new products with
your love of social media. It’s a way to get rewarded for spreading the word on
products you try. That’s not all though. Influenster sends you boxes filled
with products to try, and it’s all free. The more you share your opinions with
friends on your various social media sites, the more boxes they send you. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Influenster calls these boxes of fun “VoxBoxes”. When Influenster sends you a VoxBox all you
have to do is try the products and then share your opinions of them with
friends. When you share your opinions you earn badges that are displayed on
your Influenster public profile page. It’s essentially a social media site
itself. You can read other Influenster member’s reviews, and see what badges
they have earned. When you earn certain badges for sharing, you can win prizes
offered up by the company that provided you with the product. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">A great example of this is when I got a VoxBox that included
Kiss nail products. After completing the badge requirements I earned the badge
and as a thank you from Kiss, they sent me more products and coupons. All of
this is free and it’s super easy to sign up too. Just go to <a href="http://www.influenster.com/">http://www.influenster.com/</a> and request
your invitation to the best product review site ever!! It’s fun, fast and
FREE!!</span><o:p></o:p></div>

My BzzKit is on it's way! BzzAgent is sending me the new Garnier Fructis, and I couldn't be more excited! It's claim is that my hair will be softer, shinier, and less frizzy! Their new formula has Moroccan Argan oil in it.. I'm a huge fan of Argan oil, so that has me hopeful!<br />
<br />
I'll report back once I get my products, and i'll let you know if it holds up to the hype!!<br />

Are you kidding me?!!!<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">As if women didn't have enough to worry about, now we have to worry about the safety of our tampons! That's right, the safety of your tampons has been compromised... Not once, but TWICE!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.fda.gov/Safety/Recalls/ucm279588.htm" target="_blank">Kotex has recently issued a recall</a> on their <i><b>Natural Balance Security</b></i> tampons. The reason for the recall... a potentially deadly bacterium... <span style="text-align: left;"><b><i>Enterobacter sakazakii</i></b>, which may cause health risks, including vaginal infections, urinary tract infections (UTIs), pelvic inflammatory disease or infections that can be life-threatening!!! Really Kotex?! Women are buying these tampons because Kotex is a "trusted" brand and these new Natural Balance tampons are supposed to be healthier. It sounds to me that aren't at all healthier! </span></span><br />
<span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">As if that weren't enough to make your stomach turn... Danielle, owner of the blog <b style="font-style: italic;">Parr for the course </b>has just posted about her experience with Kotex.<a href="http://www.parrforthecourse.com/2012/03/tale-of-moldy-tampon.html" target="_blank"> In her blog Danielle shares a horrifying discovery she made... a MOLDY tampon!!! </a></span></span><br />
<span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The moldy tampon was found in a brand new, un-opened box of Kotex security tampons. When she was opening the plastic wrapper of a tampon she accidentally pushed the inner plunger a bit exposing the tip of the BRAND NEW tampon. That is when she made the horrible discovery... MOLD. Here is a picture from her blog of the moldy tampon...</span></span><br />

</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Now I don't know about you, but THAT makes my stomach turn! She contacted Kotex and they replied with a VERY unsympathetic response and coupons! Coupons, Really? As if she would ever use Kotex again. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I have never been so relieved to be a cloth pad user!
