OPI, China Glaze, Essie--Which Gives the Longer Mani/Pedi

Nail Polishes are a girl best friend, next to that 8 carat Harry Winston engagement ring.

There are no discounts to high quality, authentic diamonds, Sorry...

OK, I digress, today we are focusing on NAILS!

I have become of a BIG fan of DIY nails for several reasons, I know that the tools that I use on my nails are extremely clean and I am the only one using the tools for my nails and feet. And, I can do them at my leisure, without that toxic chemical smell.

Anyway,which leads me to be a big fan of nail polishes.

Manicure Mondays are my thing! So between the top three brands which on last the longest?

Let's do a price check OPI brand costs $9.50 a bottle, China Glaze cost $7.00 to $ 7.25 a bottle, and Essie costs 8.25 a bottle.



Last week I used Essie "Wrapped in Rubies" and by the time Wednesday came around, I had to redo my mani.

The other week, I tried OPI, "I don't Bite" lasted me through out the whole entire week.

China Glaze is OK and I didn't have to reapply but for the term "Glaze", I thought it would give my a glossy finish; which it did not.

So, the winner for the  DIY nail polish challenge is.....OPI, may cost more, but your mani will last for the entire week!

Cheers!!

Top 5ive Online Sites

 I am all for online shopping, click, click... Today, I am choosing the Top Five sites for online shopping all for very different reasons. 1. Gilt.com  Everyone has heard of them by now, the reason why they snag the top spot is for "Gilt City" offers, Gilt Taste Gilt Home, and of course Gilt Women offerings. "Gilt City" offerings are truly one of kind experiences, and the deals that I have gotten in on, were well worth the money. One deal was a Book Party for Peggy Post at Michael C. Fina, not only did participants get the New Book on Etiquette by Peggy Post, participants where given a 15% discount at Michael C. Fina and the experience of a book party with Peggy Post. "Gilt Taste"  I planned my entire gratitude party using the majority of findings on Gilt Taste, the pricing, shipping charges, and scheduled date of delivery were all fair and accurate. "Gilt Home" offerings I used for my party favors with their candle blowout sales and c

Waterford or Lenox Anyone??

Hope everyone has recovered from budgeting 101, yesterday. Today, we enter the fine world of crystal and china. You know the stuff that your girlfriend puts on her bridal registry, gets it, but serves you on paper plates. Anyway, one day I was scouring around the Internet to price some crystal flutes. I came across a great, great deal! In the world of crystal and china- Bacarat- the most famous and expensive, waterford.com , and  lenox.com The price points can run from 5,000.00 to a basic Bacarat vase to 150.00 for a leaded crystal flute from waterford.com . In terms of china, my sister's  lenox.com full service china set that I have yet to eat off, which was 10 plus years ago, cost about a month's rent. Anyway, back to the deal-- I was on the  waterford.com site which was absolutely breathtaking, then I noticed the discontinued section, click, click-- 4  waterford.com flutes for only $35.00. What?? I then asked someone else to read the price and description, just

Men's Grooming : Luxury

NYFW Men is literally right in three weeks,  so how does a male model keep his hair camera ready? We did some research on the best products that would keep a man 's hair camera ready. Julien Farel Salon This salon has the best anti aging haircare products for men. They also do all of the models for the Nick Graham Show. Those models are the best! Martial Vivot We came across this salon on the side of MOMA in June for the annual French Wink   Father's Day Event. This salon has the best hair care products in terms of being all natural. The manager explained to me  mass market products are okay, but as a man ages the harshness of the products causes premature hair loss. Wow! Who knew... They also sell their products at Barney 's, in addition to the salon. John Allen Salons They have the coolest vibe in Saks,  in terms of high profile salon. To get that ultimate surfer look the pomade is amazing with out being heavy or greasy. For luxury hair care service and products,
