OMG You Guys!!!
I'm back on the blog. Did you miss me? Probably not, but I missed y'all so that counts right? Also...HI to all the new readers. I'm so excited that you found my little corner of the internet!!
I wanted to write a quick post and let you all see the mani's that I wore in China.
Up first, the mani I wore for almost 2 weeks, this was done with Sally Hansen Insta Gel Strips in Back to the Fuschia (pink) and Hooray Ombre!

After this starting getting chipped all to hell, I took it off (polish remover pads and their packages make great removers that fit 3 fingers each and easily remove gel polish with patience) and replaced it with Sally Hansen Salon Effects Polish Strips in Tri-Bal It On and Violet Night. The strips lasted me through the rest of China, so it worked out perfectly.
Ready for the weirdest mani pose EVER?!
What do you think? These are Doctor Fish and they are part of a fish pedicure. Basically they eat all the dead skin off your feet. I know this isn't for everyone (I'm sorry to all those who I creep out) but really it just tickles more than anything. It was a fun experience and I'm so glad I took advantage of it.
I have so much to tell you all about China. I could show you thousands of pictures (literally) but I won't bore you that much. I do have a fun idea for a new series (at least for a while) I'm going to do some China inspired mani's and show you the picture that I took which inspired it. Does that sound cool? I hope so, cause I'm excited to show you some of the experiences I had.
Enjoy & until next time, Amy Lee

Manicure in a Rush: Polish Strips

Sometimes you need to do a manicure that is fun but takes no time. Such was my life over the weekend. Part of my job is planning a spring festival and it was this last Saturday. I needed something that would hold up through everything that I could throw at it and I wanted it fast.
I've had these Sally Hansen Salon Effects Real Nail Polish Strips in my melmer forever. I picked them up on sale at Target quite some time ago, thinking someday I will try them. Someday is here.
Application of these strips was easy and pretty straight forward. They give you 8 different sizes x 2, so 16 strips total. I figured out very quickly that I could get 2 nails out of each polish strip, so over all I'll get two manicures out of the one box, which makes it really nice in my opinion. If you have longer nails, that may not work as well for you.
Removal of these were easy. They took some time, but removed easily and very cleanly with regular nail polish remover and cotton balls. I don't know that I will buy these all the time, but for a quick easy manicure they are a good thing to have around.
Funnily enough, I've got a reputation for painting crazy things on my fingers, so when people found out these were strips they were disappointed I didn't do them myself. :-)
Have you tried the polish strips? What did you think?
Enjoy & until next time, Amy Lee
