2 more days to enter my international giveaway

Just in case you haven't entered my international giveaway, you have 2 more days to do so.

Hope you all had a great weekend. We had a dump of snow on Sat and freezing rain this morning. I don't mind snow but freezing rain, it is such a dread. It is like a skating rink on the roads. Glad I don't have to go anywhere in particular today. It is so stressful with winter driving.


J Crew factory Charley sweater in dot in size S (buy here)
Personalized monogrammed necklace

My birthday is coming up and my good friend took me out for dinner on the weekend. I wore my factory Charley for the first time. I have the J. Crew tippi dot also and that one is of much better quality. This one is still nice and soft but I have a feeling piling may be inevitable. It is suggested to be hand-washed only.


China Glaze I Herd That

Tried my first glitter nail polish also. It is quite easy to apply and it takes no time to dry which surprised me.  I don't know why but I always thought that glittery polish is so hard to apply. I put on 2 coats and a top coat in this picture. However, only after 1 day of wear, it chips and part of the polish just came off in "sheets". Not sure if I applied it incorrectly? The thing about this polish is it is a drier formula and even part of my polish came off, I just reapplied some on the missing part and it is quite ok.

      I hate freezing rain. Just spent an hour outside trying to clear the driveway. As our weather forecast says it is going to get warmer and getting rain. It will be so slippery. Glad we both didn't have to go out today. Cannot imagine how stressful to drive on slippery highways.

      I am loving my first glittery polish. But it is coming off as chunks. Is it normal? Or I need to apply a special base coat for these?!

    Love the color way on your factory sweater though - thanks for sharing that it may need to be handwash only! AND... HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

      Thank you very much sweetie! I don't think I will handwash it. I always throw it in a cold gentle cycle in my washing machine and should be ok hopefully :)

      thank you sweetie! Trust me, snow is nice to look at but it is not much fun, oh well, if you're not a skier that is. Slippery winter road driving, shoveling driveways etc.

    Always use a good base coat with glitter polishes.
    Instead of a traditional base coat, use Elmer's Glue instead. Brush on a thin but decent layer of Elmer's Glue on your nail. It goes on white but dries clear. Now apply your glitter polish over the Elmer's Glue base layer. Apply a top coat over that.
    When you are ready to change your polish simply use the edge of an orange stick or another fingernail to peel off the entire thing! Sorcery!

      thanks so much for the tip! I really love this glitter polish but it didn't last more than 1 day. I would definitely try your suggestion. Will have to go find Elmer's Glue, that's for sure.
