Are you aware that swimming laps seriously wreaks havoc on a pedi? We're talking 4 toes completely barren of polish after 10 laps. I'm either going to have to figure out how to avoid this or else I'm just gonna stop working out. Considering that I can barely move my arms and legs after tonight's swim, I think the latter sounds wonderful right now. The other possibility is that the polish sucks - and that could very well be the case. I really like the way this Julep polish goes on, but it's staying power is lacking. In a matter of a few days after putting it on, one or more toes will have completely chipped off. Back to the OPI I go. Especially considering I don't want to have to repaint my toes during the Jamaica trip in July. I need to find the perfect color in the perfect polish so that I can show off my perfect toes with my newly toned body - see the first item. It ALWAYS comes back to Jamaica. It's like the 6 Degrees of Ocho Rios up in here, Yo!
It's kinda cotton candy-ish in color |
Tomorrow, Andie will be here from ShoeDazzle. Some real-life pictures have come in and they're really cute. I figure I'll either love them or hate them. There will be no in between. I promised you all a review and you'll get it - either way.

I've ordered a pair of Iron Fist "Love Bites" flats that will be here on Thursday. I'm a little worried about how they'll fit, but they're really cute so I've got my fingers crossed. They're running a 25% off code "HEART" on their website IronFistClothing.com right now and have tons of cute stuff on sale already that I just couldn't pass up. (Yes, you've read this correctly - I have not one, but TWO pairs of flats coming in this week. What the hell is wrong with me?)
Finally, am I the only human that just doesn't understand or care for Pinterest? I'm being told that I can really further this blog by using it, but it bores me. I just don't get it. Anywho - follow me at pinterest.com/shoesquirrel/ I promise I'll try to remember that it exists.
I'm gonna kick back even further on the couch and regret my decision to get in shape. Y'all have a good night!

In regards to polish you may want to give a shellac manicure a try before you go away. I'm really hard on manicures and even professionally I can't get to a week without chipping salon quality polish. With the shellac I can get 2 weeks.
ReplyDeleteThanks again for posting the groupon link. I couldn't resist and got 2 of the 50 and 1 of the 100 value. The JS shoes are cute can't wait to see pics posted on your feet!
Sheri just got here and she is gorgeous! I'll post pics tonight when I get home. I think I'm gonna get one of the $50 value Groupons and maybe, just maybe, one more of the $100 ones. It's an awesome deal!
DeleteI've never had the shellac done. Maybe I'll give that a shot the next time I get a pedi and see how it works. Thank you!
