ALU’s 365 of Untrieds – Sally Hansen Gray by Gray

sally-hansen-gray-by-gray-nail-polish-complete-salon-manicure 365 of Untrieds is my personal challenge to weed through the polishes in the ALU stash that I’ve been wanting to try but just haven’t gotten around to.

I’m blaming the rainstorms and overcast, cloudy skies on my apparent grey polish streak. I think this is the 3rd or 4th grey in the Untrieds and we’re only a month in. Hopefully sunny weather and fun brights are in my future because I am OVER this blech, fall-esque weather.

When the Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure line debuted, I raved about the formula and its durability. It is, without question, my favorite drugstore brand. At first I questioned the marketing claims about ten day wear without base or top coat but my skepticism was easily shot down. If you missed my original test, check it out here. Today I’m wearing a shade from the line that I can’t believe I haven’t tried before now, Sally Hansen Gray by Gray.

Hellcats-image-with-logo-cw

When it comes to my weekly TV indulgences, The CW has got my number. Yes, my DVR looks like it was programmed like a fifteen year old girl and I don’t care. This season one of my new faves is Hellcats starring Aly Michalka of Aly & AJ, Bandslam, Easy A, etc.

If you aren’t watching Hellcats each week, I don’t know WHAT you’re doing on Tuesdays.  Seriously, if you loved Bring It On, and don’t tell me you didn’t, you have no reason not to watch. What really hooked me was the appearance of Gale Harold from Queer As Folk. I will follow him anywhere so Hellcats, PLEASE upgrade him from recurring to series regular!

Being that I am a fan of both Hellcats and Sally Hansen Salon Effects, I’m hosting a fun giveaway.  Keep reading to see what you could win.

We’re Gonna Rock, We’re Gonna Roll, We’re Gonna Bop, We’re Gonna BOWL…

Let’s bowl, let’s bowl, let’s rock-’n-roll.
Hey, come on, let’s get this show on the road.
Let’s bowl, let’s bowl, let’s rock-’n-roll.
‘Cause the stakes are high, and the winner takes all!
- “Score Tonight” from Grease 2

If you’ve seen the documentary My Date With Drew you know that the director/subject of the film believes that people can be divided into two categories; those who love Grease 2 and everyone else.  Drew Barrymore, the director Brian Herzlinger and I all fall into the Grease 2 loving category.  One of the most infectious songs in the cheese-tastic flick is “Score Tonight” which involves a night at a bowling alley.

This past fall I officially became a bowling addict when the boyfriend and I joined a league with some friends.  Every Thursday night you can find me making a fool of myself on the lanes and a few weeks ago I made the committment to get my own ball.

Of course, no ordinary bowling ball would do.  It had to express my colorful style.  When I saw this lime & lavender Brunswick Slingshot it was all over.  Purple and green?? Are you kidding??  It’s like they made it for me and me alone!

Now what kind of nail girl would I be if I didn’t don a manicure inspired by my new ball? Check it out!

Sally Hansen Salon Effects Nail Polish Strips Review

By on January 26, 2011
in Sally Hansen, Spring 2011 with 505 Comments
It’s no secret that I’m not a nail art fan. I’ve always said that I appreciate the artistry, creativity and certainly the skill involved but it’s just not my bag. I do see designs from time to time that wow me but I won’t be jumping on the nail art bandwagon anytime soon.

However for those of you who are into nail art but professional services, including Minx, are out of your budget and DIY’ing isn’t in your skill set, Sally Hansen has a solution for you.  The recently launched line, Sally Hansen Salon Effects, are nail appliqués made from real nail polish.  These easy to apply nail polish strips come in an array of styles including solid color glitters and neons for those of us looking for a zero dry time, on-the-go manicure solution.

I recently gave the strips a go putting the “Lasts Up To 10 Days” claim to the test.  Keep reading to see how they fared.

My 2010 Wedding Season Mani-Pedi Combination

notd-china-glaze-for-audrey-flyin-high This past weekend the boyfriend and I attended the wedding of one of our favorite people on the planet.  She is funny, smart, charming.  Just an amazing friend.  One of those people that you meet and just know you want in your life.  So you can imagine how happy we are that she found a man who realizes how special she is and treats her a queen.

Of course a wedding means planning the right outfit all the way down to your fingers and toes.  I immediately knew which dress I wanted to wear but deciding on nail color was a challenge.  Do I go trendy because I’m the all knowing nail girl (my friend said that, not me)?  Do I play it safe because it’s a wedding?  Or do I march to the beat of my own drummer and go with what strikes my fancy?  I chose D – All Of The Above.
