NOTW: Oil Spill

Hey there! Today, I just wanted to share a really quick Nail of the Week with you guys! If you remember, I bought this nail polish - The Gap's Gold Rush - when I was in Pittsburgh with my boyfriend. I was thinking it was a dupe for Chanel Peridot and you if you click you can see for yourself. 

Usually these nail polishes with the duo chrome, oil spill effect are always really thin once they are dry. That holds true for this nail polish too. The up side to that is even though it is really thin, you can get away with one coat for sure. I think that it has something to do with the fact that it is multidimensional. I have been really loving only painting 1 coat on my nails if I can get away with it because I notice that it will actually stay on longer. When I am doing 2-3 coats + a top coat, my nail polish will just peel off in 1 piece in a day or 2. Because of that, this nail polish lasted a couple days longer than the norm on my nails. On the 5th day, it started to chip.

Moving on, for $6 I like the polish. If your looking for a Chanel dupe, you have just hit a gold mine!  (HAHA!)

This type of finish is so freaking hot this fall! I have been seeing Oil Spill polishes of all colors, holographic nail polishes and metallic nail polishes everywhere. Literally. Everywhere. I am going to have to invest in some more!

I will be back this week with my July Favorites and an Avon Haul! Yes! I have videos to go along with them too! Also, I am re-vamping my blog too! I have been working on it for like a month and I am ready to get all the HTML stuff figured out so there's isn't going to be a huge mess (I have learned my lesson about HTML messes!) but just an FYI (:

See you soon!

Pittsburgh Haul Part 1: The Gap, Victoria Secret, & Stella Treats

Hey! If you guys didn't know, me & my b/f went to Pittsburgh a couple a weeks ago to see a comedian & go shopping. We did some serious damage the night before. We got drunk at the Improv then went downtown. We spent wayy to much but better safe than sorry, so we took a cab everywhere that night. 

So, I am just going to split my Pittsburgh Trip up in 4 blog posts: 

Part 2: H&M & JC Penney Haul (clothing haul) 

Part 3: Yankee Candle Haul & 

Part 4: will just be our trip overall. 

I only bought one thing at The Gap. my Boyfriend, Philly bought a pair of jeans and while I was waiting for him, I seen this puppy. I have 1 other duo chrome "oil spill" nail polish from Wet n Wild but it doesn't compare to this. I really do not like the WnW one too much. Then it came to me. It's a Chanel Dupe! I do not have the Chanel polish but I clearly remember wanting it: Chanel Peridot. Now, I cant say for sure if it is a really true dupe but I will let you be the judge. If you think it is, Try Gap's Gold Rush. It was only $6. I have never tried the Gap's nail polish and the lady helping me said she loves them. Of course she does, but I am sure it will be a better line of polish, considering it's the Gap. You will be seeing a NOTW soon enough, if I like it on. I think I probably will :)

pretty duppy if you ask me!

Then we went to Victoria Secret's. I only bought panties because I needed them. Don't worry none of these panties were used! lol! I did wanna show you guys them because they are adorable. I love the "scrunchie butt" where they cinch the fabric that separates each booty cheek. My house mom use to do that to all of our outfits & even my bath suit. The way they are made makes your butt look fab (:

 

I also bought 2 other pair that were not scrunchie butt. I shabby chic thong & another pair.

Next up, The Dog Store. Just Dogs Gourmet (: I had to buy something for my puppy, Stella. All of these gourmet dog treats were to die. I paid around $5 for all of them. And I tasted the white frosting on the bone. It is actually good. I want to make a frosting like that. You probably think I am crazy. Your the crazy one. Your missing out on these delicious dog treats. if anybody has ever tried to make their own gourmet doggie treats, I would love to know!

The first one is made out of cacao & peanut butter. It's your Reese's Cup for doggies!

Next one is a cupcake of sorts.

Then I bought a carrot one. It was half off because they had them left over from Easter. I wish I lived close so I can fill up my Stella's stocking and Easter basket! But I don't. Maybe I can order online. The carrot is actually made out of vegetables which I thought was pretty cool.

Then we have the frosted milk bone. This was the one I tasted. That frosting is freaking delicious! haha! but i am not joking, lol.

That is that for now! I will make this ending short & sweet
