Being Bold…

Revlon Bold Sangria with Essie Shine of the Times 
I’ve been in a bit of a nail funk lately (I know, gasp!) but I just haven’t felt very inspired in that department.  I haven’t used shine of the times in years.  Years.  If I’m being honest, I don’t really like it.  It just isn’t really my cup of tea.  But something made me use it over top of the bold sangria, and I really really loved how it turned out!  
Oh.  And this manicure lasted 5 days.  Without and special tips or tricks or anything.  And I think the only reason it chipped on the fifth day is because I had my hands in dish water for entirely too long and doing some deep (trash bag) cleaning.  Did any of your parents ever call a good “purge” trash bag cleaning?  You know, when you have to go through all your stuff and get rid of what you don’t want/need?  Well, mine did.  And it’s good for the soul sometimes.
Happy Friday, loves.  Hope you have a fantabulous weekend!

  1. I wish I could trash bag clean. I try. Goodness knows, I try. Scott has all kinds of trash that is supposedly important though. Supposedly.

    Hope Friday treats you well!

  4. I did a trash bag clean of my hallway closet last month. It felt so damn good.

    I'm in a nail funk, too. I bought a few new colors that I'm hoping will help break it. Those two colors look good together.

  5. Love this look! And YES to trash bag cleanings! I did my closet a couple of times this year and honestly felt so much better. Now I only have clothes in there that I actually want to wear!

  10. Oh goodness, that polish looks AMAZING! And I'm super impressed with the five days. Dish water is such a bummer for nail polish!
