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 love finding pieces that look polished, feel com I love finding pieces that look polished, feel comfortable, and don’t cost a fortune—and this affordable chambray midi dress checks every box.

It’s lightweight, flattering, easy to dress up or down, and perfect for everything from brunch to vacation to running errands. I truly think this is one of those wardrobe staples that works for women of all ages. Just switch up your shoes and accessories to make it your own!

They’re from Noonday Collection, a fair-trade lifestyle brand that partners with artisans in vulnerable communities to create handcrafted jewelry and accessories.

Comment for the LINKS.💗

I started with an eyeshadow palette that has a variety of textures and shades in the rose family to create a million different looks. And yes, you can wear shimmers and whatever else makes you feel confident even if you’re a more mature woman.😎

You can’t go wrong any of the makeup brushes from BK Beauty to apply and blend your makeup. This eyeshadow brush is one of many that I love.

The foundation stick is new for me and I’m wondering where it’s been my whole life! It’s that good. Just swipe, blend and go. Available in so many shades that there’s one for everyone!🙌🏻

Adding depth and glow to the face couldn’t be easier with a multitasking palette of bronzer, highlighter and blush. It’s perfect for travel too.✨

The lip glow is fun because it’s a pH reactive one so it’s almost like having a custom shade that’s just for you.
I’m kinda giddy over here because I get to use thi I’m kinda giddy over here because I get to use this beautiful Louis Vuitton handbag for a month. I borrowed it from Vivrelle and their membership service. They have hundreds or maybe even thousands of luxury designer bags to choose from. 

Comment CODE for the link and my discount code that gets you 50% off your first two months.

It’s a great way to try beautiful bags without committing to a single bag. I’m having so much fun with this membership!👜

Thank you @vivrelle for the gift of this membership!
I’ve always been obsessed with pizza. I’ve attempt I’ve always been obsessed with pizza. I’ve attempted to make it at home many times and had too many failures to count. But not any more thanks to @pocobero and their delivery of NY-style pizza dough balls shipped straight to my door. 

I had my kids and grandchildren over for swimming and make-your-own-pizzas this weekend. It was a total success. The flavor of the pizza crust was absolutely delicious. It tasted as good as being in a NYC pizzeria.

I see many more pizzas in my future.😎

I put all the veggies on my pizza. What are your favorite toppings?🍕🫑🍄‍🟫🧅

Thank you Poco Bero for the amazing gift!♥️
New series… Every Friday I will be sharing some ne New series… Every Friday I will be sharing some new product finds with you that were sent to me as PR for review or that I purchased. The good stuff needs to be shared and talked about for sure.
 
Question… do you want to see the duds too?

Today I shared jewelry from @analuisany that I have pretty much worn every single day for the last month. It lives up to its claims. I’m wearing a beautiful nude colored plumping tinted lip oil and silky lip liner from @purcosmetics and I love them too. They’re great everyday shades.
