New Collections

OPI Liquid Sand Nail Polish

January 8, 2013

Have you seen this new nail polish collection from OPI?

It’s the Mariah Carey collection and half of the polish in the collection is called Liquid Sand.  There are 4 color choices in this group.  They’re interesting…  I didn’t buy into any of the trendy textured polishes in the past, but one particular color in this collection seemed a bit interesting to me.

I bought mine at Ulta for $9.  The directions say to apply a base coat first followed by 2 coats of the color.  That’s it.  No top coat.  This gives you a matte finish.  I chose The Impossible.  It’s a fuchsia red color.  The glitter in the polish is big and chunky and includes little stars (I did not pick those up on my brush when I applied it).  I thought I’d like this type of polish for an accent nail rather than on all fingers.

So, what did I think?

I really like this polish!  It dries super fast and has a gritty sandpaper-like feel to it..  The background of the nail is matte with the glitter standing out and making it sparkly.  I would repurchase this polish for something fun and different.  I’ve seen swatches of the other colors on a variety of blogs and they all look like fun colors to wear.

Have you seen these yet?  What do you think?

      I can only do the easy stuff with nail art. Wish I was more artistic. Since I’m not, this sort of stuff has to do it for me. LOL! Thanks for stopping by! Stacie xo

    I love it, but it seems it would feel weird to have bumps on your nails? Does it or am I missing the point.

    Love reading about all your makeup and nail adventures, makes me feel happy.

      It is a little weird. I touch it all day long. I think I prefer this as an accent nail on each hand and the others are smooth. I think it’s just a trendy little thing. Have a great day! Stacie xo

    My daughter is obsessed with doing her nails. She would love how the glitter stands out on the nail.

I just unboxed my Wantable Style Edit – Dress Edit I just unboxed my Wantable Style Edit – Dress Edition and I’m honestly so excited about these pieces! 

There’s something so nice about opening a box where a stylist has already picked practical, easy-to-wear outfits for you—especially dresses you can just throw on and go. No overthinking, no endless scrolling… just cute, wearable pieces ready for real life.

If you’ve ever wished someone would just pick the outfits for you, this is such a fun way to try new styles without the hassle of shopping. And the dress options are chef’s kiss for busy days when you still want to look put together.

Watch the unboxing to see everything I got in this box. 4 dresses plus 5 other pieces to mix and match and add into my wardrobe.

I love this beautiful new print with the gold foil and I love that there are options in the fabric. The cotton is lightweight and lovely and the Jude cloth feels amazing and is a workhorse because it doesn’t wrinkle, even when worn all day.

You can’t go wrong with either dress. Which style is your favorite?🤩

If you think us ladies of “a certain age” are too If you think us ladies of “a certain age” are too old for matte lipstick, then it’s a good thing this video landed in your feed! The new Colour Riche Blurred Matte Lipstick from @lorealparis is nothing like those terrible mattes of the past that dried out our lips and emphasized lip lines and wrinkles.

Available in 10 different shades, their new formula glides on smoothly like a balm and hydrates. It blurs out the appearance of the lines in my lips and just helps me feel more confident.

I’m wearing #590 🍓Blushing Berry🍓 Are you ready to try it?

Casual and chic is what I call my style and this o Casual and chic is what I call my style and this outfit checks all the boxes. It’s perfect for Spring.

They also have a matching stretch denim jacket that I have on my wish list. You can see a few more of my favorite pieces from this brand in my feed.

I’m 5’1” wearing size small in both pieces. The embellished pearl stud stretch denim jeans are cropped on others but longer on me so they’re definitely petite friendly which is a win!💗
