It’s mani/pedi day. 🙂
Would you believe I haven’t painted my fingers or toes since Christmas?
I know! It might even be a record for me. Not that I haven’t wanted to make some lacquer love, because I have. I’ve been thinking about it for weeks, but you know how it is. Sometimes you just get caught up doing other things.
Well enough of that. Come hell or high water, I’m painting my paws today, and I’m thinking maybe a purple on my fingers and something green on my toes.
We shall see!
I hope you have something fun lined up for today. Other than painting my nails, I should do at least a little housecleaning (it never ends!), but I figure that if I can accomplish something productive early, I’ll feel better about chilling out later today.
Oh, I almost forgot — I should also swing by Petco to look at cat towers this afternoon because his royal majesty has pretty much trashed his current kitty condo. He’s completely shredded the carpeting, and now the only thing holding it together is duct tape!
Classy…
LOL! Before you jet, take a moment to enter today’s giveaway. And whatever you’re up to this weekend, I hope there’s room for fun (if you haven’t seen War Horse yet, go see it!).

Right now, I’m wearing Zoya Kelly, but later today, I’ll probably switch it up, and either go with Sooki or Megan, or even Dree (a perfectly olive color). If I had the time and patience, I’d switch up my nail color every single day!

I love nail polish, but haven’t been able to find a good neutral for my skintone. I haven’t done my nails in a couple weeks either. I think that’s what I’ll be doing this afternoon as well.

The walls in my bedroom are a boring white, but I would love to paint my room bright purple one day!

I am soooo in love with the Chanel printemps collection, I could not resist buying the eyeshadow quad, eyeliner, paradis lipstick, lipliner and I am thinking about the blush. Their new foundation is also perfection <3- Love the feel, texture, and that it is very longlasting. Another product I cannot live without is OPI Nail Envy. It gives me perfect, long and beautiful nails <3 Currently I am wearing Nail Envy with OPI Steady as she Rose 😉

One of my favorite products right now is Lancôme’s eye makeup remover! I hold the cotten pads on my eyes for 30 seconds and it melts away everything! Great for those late nights!
Lisa S. says
I usually don’t paint my finger nails, but I’ve been rocking a gel mani since Christmas. I don’t know the actual name of the colors, but first time I had it done was a dark navy with tiny pink glimmers. This time I’ve got a dark reddish brown.
Love gel manicures, they last forever and my nails don’t break like usual.
My toes are always some crazy color – dark green, grey, duochrome, it’s the one place I can indulge my inner crazy woman.
Claire says
I could really use this gift card to buy some new makeup and freshen up my look.

Tran says
My default nail polish color would be OPI My Private Jet
Jan says
So I’m really loving the new Maybelline Color Tattoo eyeshadows & I am on a mission to get all of the colors. Unfortunately, I do not own any paint pots by MAC but I hear Maybelline’s CTE are quite close in comparison. The staying power was really impressive when I used it as a base & that alone is a huge feat. However, the price and the range of colors makes it all the more appealing. So if you don’t own the Maybelline CTE I encourage you to go out and buy one (or all)… you won’t be disappointed!
~Jan

Today on my nails I attempted to do the YSL “Tuxedo” Manicure, matte black with glossy black tips! It looked good the first day after I did it… but after the wear and tear on my hands after day, the glossyness of the tips are starting to fade ;[ and now my nails kinda just look…. black. haha! hope you’re having a good weekend, AND that you’re watching them Niners! ;]
Liz G. says
Hi Karen. Right now I have Chanel’s Peridot on my toes. I read all of the reviews and looked at swatches relentlessly and finally splurged on a bottle. But now that I’m wearing it I’m pretty disappointed. It just doesn’t look that great with my skintone (really pale). I’ll keep wearing it since I spent so much for it but I wish I had saved my money. Just goes to show not every shade is meant for you!
Chelsea @The Nail Network says
I’m wearing Zoya Ali and Chloe on my nails today. It is so bright and happy on this cold and blustery winter day.

Marian says
I have a default nail polish every season but I try very hard to use a different polish each week because I have so many. This season my default seems to be Essie Fishnet Stockings because it goes with my wardrobe. It’s a deep red…a little burgandyish and I seem to be wearing a lot of grey, black and burgandy this fall/winter.
Natalie says
I just finished the MAC lipstick in Angel and im going back to MAC to get another one.

Felicia says
Thanks for dishing up reviews with a side of fun!
Janice says
It has been a productive day for me and that includes fixing the breaks on my car;) at least I don’t have to hear the squeaky noise. Then I got ready for work, home now and eating Vietnamese food…. Need I say more!?
Chelsea says
I never paint my nails. I just keep them bare, and I like it that way. I’ve been using hydrocortisone cream for eye cream, because I have scaly red patches around them 🙁 I hate Eczema season! All the walls in my house are white because I rent. I’m at my best probably 7-11PM. That is my creative time, when I can write papers, be productive, etc.
I don’t really finish beauty products that often. I guess it would probably be a sample of DiorShow Extase or a Lancome Artliner… I usually have to get rid of stuff because of expirations/sanitation concerns.
Dee says
My new default color is OPI’s Jade is the new black. My room is painted lilac, WOnderful time of the Morning is 6am. Clinique’s all bout eyes is so multi- purpose as an eye makeup base and moisturizer.
Olivia says
I REALLY want the new Naked2 palette! im stalking pictures of it online right now when i should be studying for finals :\
Melissa says
I haven’t painted my nails in several weeks either. I may have to remedy that tomorrow. Red is my favorite nail polish color because…well, because you just can’t go wrong with a good red polish. It’s impossible. 😉
Gans says
My default nail polish is none because I pick at my nails too much 🙁

Marilyn says
I’m wearing Essie’s Go Overboard obsessively!!! I love it!
Bridget says
Last product I finished was Benefit’s They’re Real! mascara…my FAV mascara! 😉
Caryn Moy says
My favorite mascara eveeeer is Blinc Kiss Me mascara, it NEVER smudges since its a tube mascara and I love that the color is so dark. Also, it was so wonderful because it removes without any difficulty with just warm water and some pressure to your lashes. Slides right off! 🙂
Daniell says
Default nail color is shimmery nude. Boring, but forgiving when I don’t have time to do a perfect application. And beauty products I go through the most are lip plumpers. The stinging kind. They really work on my lips, so I keep running out of them!
Elizabeth says
I want to see “War Horse,” but I don’t want to cry! I’m sure I will, since Tabs did.
Danielle F says
I just finished a mini-tube of Lancome Hypnose Drama- it lasted forever! It’s a good thing though, because I really enjoyed the formula, might have to purchase the full size!
auroragyps says
I’ve been meaning to get Zeal a cat tree since we moved into this basement apt. The one window in here (besides the tiny one in the front door) is about 5′ off the ground, with a 3′ deep sill, and is over an inset radiator, so I can’t just put a piece of furniture in front of it for her to jump up on and into the window. However, to get a tree I can put next to the window, that’s tall enough, and that I feel is sturdy enough is pricey. 🙁 Poor Zeal… one of her favorite past times used to be sitting in a window & people watching too.
Thanks for the giveaway.
Jess M says
I just got the naked 2 palette and am SO excited to use it:) love your blog!
The Blossom Shed Beauty Blog says
I can’t believe Tabs actually uses his cat tower – my cats ignore theirs and only like the scratch and play on the family antiques and anything particularly irreplaceable:)
Happy weekend!
Kathy says
I recently just purchased the clarisonic mia and I can feel the difference in my oily, acne prone skin. BTW, love your blogs! 🙂
Diane says

Bridget says
Tabs rocks!!!! Everytime you post up pics of him, I show my sisters. Their not into beauty products like me and don’t read beauty blogs like me. But everytime there’s a Tabs photo they have to see it. It’s so funny because he’s a household name at my house. Everybody loves Tabs!!!! : )

Hannah R. says
Right now i have on my nails:
Zoya’s Yasmeen as a my base color/all over the nail, with China Glaze’s Snow Globe and Milani’s Diamond Dazzle (which is just like SG but with smaller glitter) layered and faded from the tip in a sort-of ombre effect. And then i have 6ss “AB Crystal” Swaravski crystals at the bottom of my nails (just above the cuticle)
I love glitter and rhinestones. If fact i rarely do a mani or pedi that doesn’t include a rhinestone or two. Even my “basic” french mani/pedis usually have them. 😀
Quinctia says
Well, I guess my default nail polish is purple, since I can’t stop purchasing more purple nail polish. (New Zoya promotion? Somehow I ended up with another purple.)
In terms of finished products, I have nearly finished my Dream Matte Mousse foundation by Maybelline, and I guess Seche Vite counts as being finished if I’m amassing 1/4th full bottles with the intention to restore them all and put them into one bottle. (Seche is a pain in the butt to work with sometimes, but it works rather well for me.)
Christy O says
Lately everything I buy at the drugstore goes on sale a few days after. Nofe air! Wish I could have saved that money, paltry as it may seem.

Jamie Rebecca says
i used to paint my nails at least once a week. now i can’t be bothered. if i start to paint mine, then my 4 year old demands i paint her nails and toes. the only problem is that she insists on a different color for each nail! sooooooo i just stopped painting mine to avoid her demands. hahahah

Denise says
I’m using one of those magnetic nail polishes. I like it, but I keep hitting my nail with the magnet and messing up the polish. I need more practice. But, the ones that I didn’t mess up look really cool.
Kelsey says
What’s your default nail polish color?
Bright blue.
Which eye cream are you loving right now?
I don’t use eye cream.
What color are the walls in your room?
White… *sigh* We rent an apartment and of course we’re not allowed to paint. If I had a choice, I’d paint the bedroom Tiffany blue.
What time of day are you at your best?
Definitely in the afternoon or evening. I am NOT a morning person! 🙂
What was the last makeup or beauty product you finished?
Um, my zit cream… 😛
eRiN says
I resolved to buy fewer lipsticks in 2012 – since last year I bought an average of 3 per month, I decided the max would be 1 per month this year – and two weeks into the year I have bought 5 lipsticks T______T
Amanda Sakovitz says
the last beauty product i finished was bare minerals bisque concealer.
Lindsey says
My cats have a 3-level tower and only ever use the top. I got some covers made for the nests too so we can remove and wash them. It really saves wear and tear on the carpeting!
Mireya says
I want to wear Essie’s Turquoise & Caicos allllll the time. It’s my absolute favorite and looks better on me than any other polish I’ve tried. I feel like it’s a very spring/summer color, though, so I’ve forced myself to stay away from it lately.
kaia says
My favorite default nail color is revlons mint green.
Melissa says
Love your blog! Thank you!
Maggie says
Zoya Charla is my go-to nail color. I love love love it so much! It’s so sparkly and amazing, it makes me think of mermaids 🙂 China Glaze For Audrey and Zoya Blair are my other top ones. Of the gajillion polishes I own, those are probably the only ones I’ll ever actually finish!
b.s. says
clinique all about eyes.
Helen says
I love Sephora!
Karen F says
I have WAY too many polishes to have a go to! I guess the closest thing I have is Zoya Evangeline. It’s my favorite pedi color!
Eli says
I’m currently head over heels for Sephora,s only gold for me. It is a topcoat but I wear it alone for sparkly but discreet nails.
🙂
Sandy says
Nothing fun today — had to work both yesterday and today! But it would sure be fun to look forward to a Sephora spree… Thanks, Karen!

Probably my default when I’m not sure what else to wear is RBL Grunge. It’s such an awesome nude with a twist!

Melanie says
How would you achieve a flawless, beautiful look that looked totally natural?
Thanks!
Meenakshi Dudani says
Love your blog!! The only colors I use in nailpaint are Red and Hot pink. I swear when I was in college I wore all colors from blue to green to pastels. But I am all about red and hot pink now. EVen with lipsticks. Keep up the good work.
Stylesplenty says
I love Sephora and your blog.
DeborahB says
Right now I am loving the Tarte eye candy shadow stick in champagne on my lids. Just enough shimmer, not too much. And for a while I was hooked on Wet n Wild in nutty. LOVE that color on the lid and just into the crease. I’m not too into nail polish, I type a lot and can never find one to not chip. I think I’m gonna try shellac.
Paula says
I’m really liking my Orly nail polishes!
alison c says

Sole says
Sadly I have been having a serious allergy attack since I woke up, but yesterday I wore the bronze and pomegranate tattoo colors. They are amazing!
Lucia says
umm, default nail…Chanel Particuliere or Becca Saddle up. My eye cream right now is Pai Echium antiaging cream, it is the only one that does not sting my eyes.
The last makeup item I finished is my Chanel waterproof eyeliner in Espresso, I used it everyday and the thing only lasts a little more than a month…I am looking for a cheaper alternative for my upper waterline, no luck!
Thanks Karen!
Maple says

What time of day are you at your best? Fun question — for me, anytime when the sun is NOT up. I am a night owl of the most extreme kind! Of course, I have kids, a job and all of that stuff, so I can’t actually be nocturnal. 😀
Thanks for the giveaway!
magda says
I need to try new maybeline eyebrow pencils
Micaela says

Danielle says
My room right now is baby blue but i really want a rustic blue or green
Sue C. says
I’m a night owl trying to become an early bird. I’m still searching for a great eye cream. I seem to collect more nail polish than I wear, mostly mauvy pinks. Love Tabs on his condo – think of all the furniture he hasn’t scratched because he picked on his condo instead.
Molly says
I had such high hopes for my New Years Eve look, Lol. It all began to go down hill when the dress I ordered didn’t fit.
I haven’t had my nails polished since Christmas either! I did however paint my toes.
Kristine Ayala says
I’m totally a lover of deep chocolate nail polishes!

Hmm..I don’t think I have a “go to” nail color. I do prefer creme polishes though.

Jasmine says
I most awake at about 8pm – I am sooo not a morning person. My lips are killing me so I need somemore Sephora$$ to get Fresh lip treatments 🙂
Kristie says
I just purchased Laura Mercier’s Cavier eye liner in Midnight!
AK says
Hey Kristie,
How do you like it so far? I was THIS close to buying the caviar stick in the blue color. I hear it’s impossible to manipulate after it dries, which, apparently is pretty quickly. Would you recommend?
Thanks!!
Kate says
Right now I’m all about the teal nail polish! I have a darker cream teal from Joe Fresh (I really wasn’t expecting much when I bought it, but I’m actually loving it!) that goes from navy to a dark green. Its so pretty against the snow 🙂
Liz says
Lately I’ve been loving Bobbi Brown hydrating eye cream. It feels lovely on, moisturizes nicely, and acts like a primer for my concealer. Really nice stuff!
Janet says
I don’t have a default nail color because I have so many different ones, but I do love my glitters…
