No More Film, Essie!

It's time to get digital. Seductive deep violet lacquer accentuates the positive and eliminates the negatives. this darkly alluring, purple hue makes a striking alternative to black nail polish. No More Film is a gorgeous shade. With only 2 coats my nails we're covered completely and opaquely. This is a streak free shade and the lacquer levels easily. This creamy purple is deep and riche; Very sexy. And very chippy. This is one of the chippiest shades of nail polish that I have ever applied. All of my nails started chipping by the end of day 1 and I am not the only one, other bloggers that I spoke with had the same issue with this particular lacquer. I'll give it another go and see if the addition of a top coat is all it needs if not, my 3 out of 5 star review stands. What has been your experience with No More Film ? xoxo •Nancy-Lee

A $99 CVS Haul and $6.47 in profit.

I have been on a roll with my savings at CVS and this trip was no different. Stacking the ExtraBucks and Beauty Rewards I earned last week with Manufacture coupons on top of a $6 off $30 Beauty Purchase eCoupon, I scored $99.06 in product which I paid $15.53 out of pocket and earned $22 in ExtraBucks for my next shopping trip! It feels like I was paid $6.47 to shop! There is a 12 pack of Bounty paper towels and a 16 roll pack of Charmin toilet paper not pictured. How did we do it? Danny purchased Bounty paper towels, Charmin toilet paper & Dawn (these 3 items earned $5EB), Clear shampoo (on clearance for $2.39 - $2 CVS coupon = 39¢), Carefree panty liners and (1) Tom's deodorant (on sale for $3.69 and he earned a $1EB). He paid using $17.77EB, 25¢ MFCoupon, $5 off $25 purchase bringing his out of pocket to $1.31 and he has $6EB for next time.

Shake Your Money Maker, Essie!!

Click image to enlarge for detail. Let me start by saying this is an amazing shade of green. The application of this lacquer was unlike any Essie shade I have applied, it was more like the consistency of a Deborah Lippmann ; jelly-like. Matte in the finish, the first coat of Shake Your Money Maker was very streaky. You are going to want to apply 3 thin strokes of this polish and build the coverage. It took 3 coats for me to achieve the level of opacity I was looking for. I added a Hardwear , a high-shine topcoat by Butter London to punch this shade up a notch and extend the wear. It lasted 2.5 days before it chipped and did not stain my nails upon removal 4 days after application. I started with Nail Foundation base coat by Butter London . It took a while for Shake Your Money Maker to cure. In the meantime, I smudged 4 nails. womp womp . This is a rich attention grabbing shade and I am looking forward to wearing it again. I rate Shake Your Money Maker 4 out of 5 stars. Reta...

Varnish Vandalism.

 Realizing I was out of polish remover & cotton rounds, I headed for CVS . I decided to use this trip as an opportunity to look for 1 or 2 more bottles of the 2013 essie Neon collection. What I was not looking for was this: I hope you continue to read this post and view the other images.
