Picture This...

..Sicily, 1946. Oops! No, my bad. 

So, last week the Sally Hansen Salon Effects nail strip thingies went on sale at work. (Guys, these things are seriously too expensive.) I've been dying to try them, so when they went on sale I pounced like the little lioness I am. (Rawr!)

How awesome do my nails look?! 
Super fantastic am I right? (and no, that's not a tattoo on my thumb, that's where I just got bored with a pen. I'm all of about 12 years old I tell you.)
They say that they're supposed to last up to 10 days and most people have told me they don't really have a problem with chipping, but I actually work for a living. So, to say I was skeptical would be an understatement.

They started chipping on day 2. Nothing terribly noticeable because of the print, but it was there. So far, only two of my nails have started chipping, and I'm now on day 5. The real test will be Wednesday when I unload the truck and stock inventory at work.  To prevent further chipping, I coated my nails with a coat of clear polish (actually I used that Hard as Nails stuff, because I'm pretty rough on my nails). But, I give them props for lasting through dish washing and five days of work. I did figure out that if your nails are short like mine, you can use one strip for two nails. So, that cuts the cost a bit. 

*Sigh* I love me some nail polish. 

In other news, I got a new ring! Isn't it cute? 
 

When I was a little girl, I went antique shopping in a small town upstate and I saw these little silver bow rings. I just thought they were the most adorbale things I'd ever seen, but they were too expensive and at the time I didn't really wear rings. So, to buy one would be a waste. However, lately my mind has been thinking back on them, and I regret not buying one.

Being the clever internet whiz I am, I wondered if there was a chance I could find something similar online. And tah dah!


Not exactly like the ones I remember, but still cute. Plus, the vendor was amazing. Great customer service, and since my shipment was delayed (by a day, maybe two), she threw in a second ring and this cute little case!


My only complaint is that the rings run about half a size too big it seems. Easily remedied if you know in advance.

Alright, I've sounded like an infomercial for long enough (completely unintentional, I'm just Excited about my new stuff). Laterz!
