If I didn’t really, really, really push it to its limits, I think it will live up to its seven day promise (thanks to its Bioactive Glass content):

Saturday morning, after 3 straight days of dish washing and hand washing the laundry

Since am pretty lazy to polish up, I just removed it (I think it’s pretty obvious that am in the middle of some kitchen work, eh? ):

YAY! I don’t see any traces of yellowing. Do you?

As promised:

Monday night
24 hours after DIY mani and 15 hours of hardcore typing

Wednesday morning
Spent the entire Tuesday in front of the PC and popped 4 (or was it 5?) cans of soda open

Wednesday night
Tiny chip on ring fingernail but note how shiny it still is!

So yes, my rating stands. It’s even an A++ because I got so many compliments on how pretty my hands and nails are.

Lookie lookie what my fairy godmother gave me

The thing I love most about Sally Hansen nail polish: they smell like plastic balloon! Brother and I are getting all high here smelling these babies! MMMMMMM

Earlier this month, Adam Mordo shot me an invite to his wifey’s birthday party-slash-product launch. It also fell on the 16th of February where there’s B&M, Moony, and Hed Kandi. After B&M, we found ourselves being stretched and kneaded once again by the girls of TonTon instead of driving to The Fort.

Wow. That’s a lot of enabling!

Anyhoo, let me share with you gals how I capped that really exhausting draining day. It involved some serious beauty geeking after 8 brownies and 3 sticks of pork BBQ.
