Shopping Local at Walgreens/CVS When picking up a prescription at CVS a week or so ago, I noticed they were putting up an end aisle display of Olive and June Nails products. I was a little bit surprised that it took so long for O&J to show up at CVS since, as I’m sure you …
When it comes to nail polish, I’m into reds these days. The cabernet colored shade, “Obsessed”, was my Thanksgiving favorite. Now, I’m in love with “Lipstick Stain“, a new long wearing polish from Olive and June that I bought during the pre-Black Friday sale. Although Olive and June describes Lipstick Stain as a “deep berry”, …
As the holidays are coming up, think about red polish for your nails. I have found my red! Actually, Obsessed came in the Valentine’s Day Mini Set I bought last January. How did I let it sit around for almost a year before trying it? Although I often don’t wear very dark polish, this one …
Because I’ve been working so hard in my garden, it just didn’t make sense to paint my nails. The bluestone and marble chips that I was putting onto my walkway did a number on my nails. I ended up having to file them down, but they sure do look better than they did. I love …
How did I not remember that, at some point, I bought the lovely springtime polish from Olive and June, Yogurt Parfait? I finally removed the equally lovely mauve World Lit polish that lasted me for two weeks (!), and I spied Yogurt Parfait in my O&J stash. I looked at it like I had never …
Honestly, I have holiday gift suggestions galore, and I was planning to write about another one of them today. But I realized I wanted to snap another photo of it from a different angle. Now that we’ve turned back the clocks to standard time, it is too dark to take a photo (without dragging out …
Give me nail polish any day of the week/year and I’ll be a happy camper. Even with the problems that the world (and me personally) has had the last few years, I never gave up on my nails. I always had them polished and ready to go even if the only person that saw me …
Three or four years ago, I had a really bad day one sunny day in June. I went to the Registry of Motor Vehicles, stood in line for about an hour, only to discover that I didn’t bring the correct paperwork to fix a problem that I had. Then I went home and got stung …
I Bought This, Affiliate Links My love affair with Olive & June nail polish continues. I bought a bunch of new polishes a couple of weeks ago, and I had to laugh because the next day, O&J had a terrific promotion that I missed out on. But they had another promo where they were giving …
I Bought This, Affiliate Links I still love Olive & June nail products. I am continuing to find that my mani lasts a week even if I don’t reapply topcoat every night. And if I don’t apply any more topcoat, I still get at least 5 days or even more depending on what I’m doing …
I Bought This, Affiliate Links Since I was so impressed with my first Olive and June mani that lasted 10 days before there was a chip, I decided to buy some more Olive and June nail polish. I went with the Summer 2021 Mini Set for $34. The Summer Mini Set included 7 summery shades …
I Bought This, Affiliate Links, Informational Links Olive and June Mani Update Here’s a photo of my Olive and June mani on Day 10. There’s some tip wear, but still no chips. I think on Day 8, I stopped applying a daily coat of topcoat, cuticle oil, and I was less careful about wearing gloves …
I Bought This, Affiliate Links Smith & Cult Nail Lacquer is one of my very favorite nail polish brands. The bottle is so gorgeous that I could almost sit and look at it all day long. With its squat glass bottle and slightly smashed gold top, it looks like no other brand. So luxurious and …
Gift, I Bought This, Affiliate Links The other day, I received an unexpected gift in the mail. A generous sister blogger completely surprised me with two beauty products that she thought would suit me. I must say she knows me and my taste well even though we have never met in person. Today, I will …
Maybe because I haven’t been wearing makeup very often, I’ve been in the mood for nail polish. After I removed Scofflaw Leda and the Swan (reviewed here) (btw, I found the gold flecks – they were underneath the mauve cream! weird), I wanted to apply something with more oomph. Last night, I chose Sarah, a …
