Deborah Lippman* Nail Polish in Rockin' Robin

Two outfit posts (sort of) in a row? Yes, ma'am. So last Thursday, I went to Cheeky's Real People of Style Fashion Show. It fell on date night, so I brought one (wink). I was able to sport my new blazer that I got on clearance at Kohl's just the day before for only $18! I got an at home manicure, layered on the liner and threw on an updo and had a genuinely nice time networking, catching up with old friends and pigging out on Thai food after. All in all, a good time. Today, I am going to find a 24 hour Starbucks and work late. I'll drag him out to that also, I mean, it's still date night even if I have to work.

I've always been a fan of Deborah Lippman and while the price is a bit steep for polish, a little luxury every now and then is well worth the tiny splurge. This 'polka dot' polish has the longest lasting power of her polishes yet. With that said, I was not compensated by any brand mentioned here and bought everything myself. Happily.

At Home Manicure {Brilliant Nude}

 Fashion by Deborah Lippman (old) & Stroke of Brilliance by Essie (c/o)

I'm horrible at painting my own nails but my budget doesn't always allow for my no-chip manis and it is great quality time with my daughter who loves when mommy paints her nails. Kind of reminds you of the Tracy Reese for Neiman Marcus/Target Collab, right?

It was totally unintentional but it was all I could think of after I did it. What nail colors are you looking to try?

{Manicure Monday} Rags to Riches

Meet the first color of the NEW YEAR and my "it" color for January. I'm feeling good, full of life and rich. Not really dollar wise but just...well...rich. You get it. Anyway, so here it is:

Billionaire by Deborah Lippman. Ta Da! I am in love with this green nail polish color. The only downside is that I need 3 coats and I really do not have the time for that but after all was done, it was well worth it. Now if I can learn to properly paint my nails, it would be all good.
