Sally Hansen Color Foil - Colbolt Blue

I purchased this nail polish from Target for about $6 and I was extremely excited to finally țry it.  The instructions advise to use two coats and for best results use without a base coat or top coat.

I was a bit skeptical as I always use a base coat for overall nail protection from staining, but I wanted the best results from the polish so I opted out of the base coat.   I applied two coats of the polish as instructed.   Pros and cons:

PROS:
* Beautiful color
* High shine even without a top coat on day one
* Very very fast dying

CONS:
* Began flaking off the same day
* Color dulled by day two
* If nails are not smooth all flaws will show

Overall I was not very impressed with this polish,  especially with the flaking the same day I polished my nails and the loss of shine by day two.   I would not be purchasing this polish again.

Thank you for reading.

Carol's Daughter Hair Milk Original Leave In Moisturizer Review

After seeing all of the reviews on YouTube and reading thèm on line I decided to give this product a try.  I bought the product from Target for $12.00 for the 8oz bottle.  Well here is my honest opinion - I did not like the product.

I washed my hair and applied the product by itself to my hair as stated on the bottle but altought the product states that it contains no parabins and no mineral oils, the product made my hair very heavy.  My hair also felt coated, meaning when I ran my hands along my hair I could feel the product on my hair even after it was dry.

There was no slip to the product and there was also no bounce to my hair, once dry it remained stiff and lifeless. The product smell was like that of a strong face cream and the smell remained in my hair even after three days.   

I left the product in my hair for a total of three days to see if second and/or third day hair would be any better, however there was no change to the way my hair felt or behaved even after the third day.

Overall I will be returning this product to Target and will not be purchashing it again.

Meet Me


My obsession with all makeup started in my late teens while observing my mom doing the makeup for a Carnival Queen contestant.  My mom looked at her face as a blank canvas and the makeup as her tools to create a work of art.

About a year ago I decided to start doing my own nails instead of spending two Saturdays a month sitting and waiting at a nail salon.  I made the transition back to my natural hair four years ago, so figured why not try to maintain my natural nails too.

I will be the first to tell you that I am no artist, but I figure with practice some form of close perfection will one day come J.  My hubby ‘s hobby is photography and his work can be located on www.facebook.com/mactheodephotography,  so I have an on demand photographer to capture my craft - I mean what more can a girl ask for.
