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

I learned a few years back that you can score amazing deals on +Anthropologie .com after Christmas on fancier, holiday influenced clothes. This haul features 3 items from the Sale page where I enjoyed an additional 25% off. As I share this haul, all three items are still available.   Nicolet Dress Inspired by his love of cinema and Old Hollywood glamour, Marc Bouwer creates timeless pieces with touches of modern elegance. Case in point: this incredibly flattering lace-printed ponte sheath. For a pop of color, we'd add ruby pumps and a statement necklace.   I can describe this blush dress in one word: SEXY. It oozes sex appeal. This is not a lace overlay, it is a print which is lined up perfectly on the front and back, void in all the right places. With caped sleeves, it is body hugging and curve making. Personally, I will omit a statement necklace in favor of some arm candy & a statement ring and never one for a red and pink combo, I would go royal ...

Scarlet is an intricate color; polish one coat for a gray finish with complex maroon undertones and two coats to achieve a full captivating maroon-gray. This mind-blowing color is a must try. How could I resist a description like that? Especially when it was 35% off during Black Friday?! With that savings I grabbed 3 bottles, regularly $16 each. Today I present Scarlet . One coat provides a unique sheer grey finish which dances with shades of maroon. I applied 3 coats for full opacity and rich shimmer. I waited 3 minutes and accented the moons of my nails with Alchemy , my favourite LVX shade of all time!! Once both shades had fully cured I added a top coat to lock in the shine. I waited a solid 10 minutes before completing this last step. I did not want the gold to lift and drag down my nail.

It's old news that I made a HUGE Black Friday - Cyber Monday haul... There were 16 boxes in all. Here is my first purchase, from Juicy Couture, which I placed on Thanksgiving evening. They we're offering 40% off site wide so I pounced! Foiled Skinny Jean WAS $198.00 / NOW $69.99- 40% = $41.99 Let us introduce you to the skinny that refuses to be ignored. Light-reflecting, applied metallic foil makes sure of that. Rhinestone and logo grommets. The base of these Made in the USA jeans is black with pink foil on top. It feels a bit 'rubbery' but they feature the right mix of cotton, spandex and polyester making them very comfortable. While I was strongly influenced to purchase these because of my pink hair, the 80% savings didn't damper my decision making!

How delicious. Mynt by LVX . Stimulating and revitalizing, this cool mint is the perfect summer pastel. Mynt pays homage to the significant prevalence of green this season. Invigorating and powerful, this serene green will prevail as a top choice for the warm summer days that are ahead of us. Created for a Summer fling, I found Mynt to be far more valuable a shade of green this Winter. I paired 2 coats of this divine cream with 3 coats of Trixie by Zoya . This combo lasted 2.5 days before small chips appeared. You know my addiction to LVX , a 5-Free vegan lacquer company whose small batch shades are inspired by runway trends. If you haven't made a purchase, you should: you will not be disappointed! Rating 4.5 out of 5 stars, Mynt is available on www.ShopLVX.com for $16.00. Comment below and tell me which LVX shades you've experienced. +1 this post to share the swatch with your circle. xoxo •Nancy-Lee

  Did you see my Studio Gear Holiday smokey eye? This was such a simple palette to use. There are easy to follow instructions, you build the depth of the shades taking away the fear factor by giving you control of how smokey you want to go. The 4 shades of eyeshadow and 1 blush which will work will all skin tones and the $40 price tag for 5 products is a great value.

I don't always have the lucky shopping streak but when I do, it is undeniably pure magic. Take my latest trip to the outlet mall in Gilroy. On a strict no-buy, I haven't been there in several months and it is safe to say this haul made up for lost time! I'm not sure why I went, especially on a Saturday morning following Christmas but I had a feeling when I woke that day to make the trip. I was shocked how empty the parking lot was at 11:00am. I made a b-line for Coach as it is notorious for having a quickly building queue to enter the store. Without wait I was in sale heaven: 70% off of clearance merchandise + 10% off your cart. Let me say, I saved $836!! I grabbed a few New Years Eve gifts as well as a couple treasures for myself... My new handbag, wallet and clutch!
