Today is going to be so bomb. ๐ Happy Valentine’s Day, my love! 
Tabby hugs and kisses for you. And nose taps. And cute mrows. And purr-chirps.
We made it through another week, which means we’re another week closer to the cherry blossoms and earlier sunrises and longer days and warm nights where you can sleep with the windows open and tubing down the river and barbecues and shorts and flip-flops! Just gotta hang in there a little longer…
Here’s your fun feat of the day, as assigned by Tabs: bring your camera with you wherever you go, and have it at the ready. Look for beauty in all things, all around you, and be quick on the draw. Take pictures of pretty things wherever you find them, and don’t be stingy! With digital cameras and camera phones, the film is free.
Today, while the world of consumer products works to shove love down our gullets and make us purchase all things chocolate, heart-shaped and red/pink, I hope you feel loved, my friend, no matter what, especially if you’re flying solo.
I’ve flown many solo V-Days over my 39 years, and while some have been good, some have also been tough. I hope you never forget how much you’re loved, irrespective of your current romantic situation. I love you very much, and Tabs does too (but he’s easy, haha).
May you have a wonderful day. Sending you virtual hugs, candy hearts and nose kisses.
Best of luck in the giveaway. Talk to you soon.

My chin suffers from pimples even though I’m 34! It might partly come from me resting my chin on my hand while slouching at work.. I know, two bad habits.
Happy to be your Valentine!
Only painted my nails once this week, Red Carpet Manicure gel in Red Carpet Reddy.
NAIL POLISH FOR EVERYONE!
Happy V Day
Happy Valentine’s Day, Karen!
Rihanna is someone i look at when i want to create diff. makeup looks.
I bought theBalm CindyLoumanizer thanks to your awesome review. Cant wait to get it!
Happy Valentine’s Day!
I’m lucky because I usually only break out (I use that term lightly) once a month, when my Aunt Flow comes to visit but the pimples are always in the same spots. I’ve started to spot treat the areas a few days before Aunt Flows arrival to try to contain the little monsters.
Of course I’ll be your Valentine.
I never had to deal with too much acne (thankfully), and it helps now that i work in a dermatology office (easy access to all skincare goods). ๐ happy valentine’s day!
My favorite opera is Don Giovanni, and yes I will be your Valentine as long as El Hub doesn’t get jealous ๐
Hating on valentines, but I will be yours!
Just painted my nails once this week! A mauve pink last night ๐
Of course I will be your Valentine <3
Favorite opera is the Barber of Seville ๐ Would love to go to more operas.
Would love to see nail polish worn by men ๐
I wonder how masculine the designs could be in comparison to the regular pretty and feminine ones on women. So far the few boundaries pushed by women include the funky designs but they are seldom really masculine.
I’m sure nail polish designs won’t survive in their pristine state for long on men, but I’ll like to see how they’ll carry the look!
Yes, I get recurring pimples in the same area, right around the side of my nose.
– Nail polish for men?
YES, nail polish for everyone! I love seeing people with polished nails and when I see a man with nail polish, I always feel extra happy ( like “you go, dude, you treat yourself to a nice manicure! Nevermind what anybody else says” :D).
Happy Valentine’s Day!
I haven’t painted my nail at all this week.
I’ve painted my nails 3 times this week, so indecisive lol!
Of course I’ll be your valentine!
I painted my nails I think 3 times this week. Nail polish for everyone! The gender binary is boring.
Painted my nails once this week. Too busy to do any more than that
Of course I’ll be your Valentine! ๐
I love Taylor Swift’s new look. It’s kind of a modern twist on vintage pinup. I adore it!
Happy Valentine’s Day! <-@ <3
I’m really loving Rihanna’s look lately. And I’d totally be your valentine. ๐
I haven’t painted my nails at all this week!
Happy Valentine’s Day! To answer my favorite question: Keira Knightly always kills it on the red carpet. Especially lately…girl is glowing!

NO nail polish for men! Dumb!
I painted my nails one time this week for Valentines!

I just got a new face cream in the mail today from DHC. I can’t wait to use it!

I haven’t painted my nails at all this week! I have been wanting to paint them today, but I’m being so indecisive, I can’t decide on a color or design! Plus I keep telling myself, if you just study a little more for your Physiology exam, then you can paint them. Haha. Gotta reward myself some how!
I painted my nails twice this week!
YES <3
Happy Happy Valentines Day Lovey!! And thanks for the awesome giveaway! This is my top choice for a valentine gift anytime so I’m keeping my fingers crossed! I hope you are having a great weekend and I’m looking forward to reading more of your blog! I love it!
Hi Karen, have you tried the Giorgio Armani eye tints? I’m thinking about getting one but I want someone’s take on them first since they are pretty pricey. Hope you have a lovely weekend!
Nail polish is definitely not for men.
I always get stress breakouts on my chin — argh!
Not everyone knows but my favorite pie is pecan pie
I’m all for guys wearing nail polish if they want! fun colors for everyone
Best celebrity makeup for me it’s Kim Kardashian ๐ I like this makeup style!
Happy Valentine’s Day
It’s so cold in Michigan.
I only painted my nails once this week. I think the dry weather and the nail polish remover combined to make my nails extra dry, and they started peeling. I should probably give the, a rest and go au naturel for a while.
freezing cold here in Wisconsin- wind chill is nuts
nail polish for men? nope. never.
Love my valentine — going out to dinner and to the movies. It’s not very romantic but we decided to see American Sniper.
Of Course, I’ll be your Valentine, Karen! ๐
I paint my nails twice a week because it always ends up chipping off during the middle of week. Ugh! I always have this recurring pimple around my left cheek. Hate it . ๐
nail polish for men?? i say, nail polish for ALL!!!!
How many times did you paint your nails this week? Once this week.
You know that as long as you have a kitty, you’ll never be without a valentine!
Happy Valentine’s day everyone. DH & I were going out to get chocolates today but the weather is iffy. Might be a chocolate bar kinda gift lol
I painted my nails twice this week, once with a solid rose color, and today with a light pink and pink glitter topper for Valentine’s Day – happy day!
Happy Valentine’s Day to you and Tabs! I’ll keep it short… I want to win this giveaway because I’m trying to build my makeup kit. I want to pursue being a MUA. I always enter giveaways Amd for once it would be awesome to win. I don’t have an IG anymore and I don’t have a pinterest (maybe I should make one?) but I did tweet! Hope your day is full of chocolate, hug, kisses, roses and LOVE!
Of course Iโll be your valentine! It would be an honor!
I do sometimes get recurring pimples – what a pain.
happy Valentines all.
Just hoping everyone is enjoying this Saturday, Valentine’s Day, whereever they are!
I painted my husbands toenails with a nude polish once to try and hide a black/blue nail (the results of dropping a heavy object on his big toe).. He promptly asked for the polish to be removed haha
I’m obsessed with Miley Cyrus Viva glam lip gloss lately!!
Yes, let’s be Valentines!
Happy Valentines Day!
My favorite celebrity who rocks the makeup is Adam Lambert. I’m a sucker for guyliner and he does glitter like no one’s business!
yeah… now i have a valentines!
hope you have a beautiful Valentines day Karen!
Of course we can be Valentines…Happy Valentines to you…
I havent painted my nails this week – I am going to treat myself to a manicure tomorrow ๐
My kitties love to snuggle with me during these cold NE winter evenings:-)
If I could, I would have fresh nail polish every day. I am really hard on my hands because I use them to work hard every day. Nail polish does not stand a chance with me but I love the look.
Happy Valentine’s Day! I only polished my nails once this week – too busy! Going for a mani/pedi tomorrow.
Happy Valentine’s Day
Happy Valentine’s Day!
I came across your blog looking for reviews of BE Marvelous Moxie lipgloss in Spark Plug, and there was your picture, rocking that shade like nobody’s business. Thanks!
I’ve never been to an opera but I have seen Les Misรฉrables which almost counts, I think lol.
I’m having a mini Criminal Minds marathon with a sleepy cat on my lap.
I am pro nail polish for men! Especially black.
Happy Valentine’s Day. It is a cold snowy day so I will be cuddling up on the couch and watching some tv tonight.
I painted my nails twice this week
I most certainly would love to be your valentine, question is will you be mine?
I most certainly would love to be your valentine!
I wish I could polish my nails but making and throwing pottery chews up my nails and any polish so I don’t use any unless it’s a special occasion.
Did you mean comment on this Instagram post http://instagram.com/p/zFnDZ5GRsb/?modal=true? The one in the rafflecopter link says ends 2/9/15.
Hi Karen, of course Iโll be your Valentine !
Hi Karen,
I’d totes be your Valetine, but as I have mentioned before, my girls would rather be Tabs’ Valentine ladies – long distance, they can video chat, yes?
I’m a fan of Jessica Chastain’s make up, I find myself trying to emulate it. I’m pale, but just not in the same way somehow.
Have a lovely 14th.
Happy to be your Valentine!
No nail painting here this week :/
Of course I’ll be your Valentine! You’ve taught me so much! I can wait for the cherry blossoms, I just want temps in the double digits.
I don’t paint my own nails but I had them done on Wed . . . . cute Valentine’s mani – NCLA Blow Pop with OPI’s The Bearest of them All over it. Hearts!!
Yes to the pimples, always on my chin!!

I finally painted my nails after about a month of not painting them– went with a subtle french mani!
I am becoming more posh at 45!
My favorite opera…it’s hard! I can’t choose one But I guess I’d go with La traviata or Carmen…or Tosca or La bohรจme. Or Samson et dalila!
My favorite opera is La Boheme; it was actually the first one I’d ever seen. I was lucky enough to see that one and ‘Who’s afraid of Virginia Woolf?’ in Jr. High School.
I always get pimples on my chin, which the docs tell me is a hormonal thing.
Lisa @ Lisa Living Well recently posted … Lately
My favorite soap opera is General Hospital… can’t get enough of that show
I always get pimples on my chin, in the crevices of the nose and now around the lips and I’m 47!!! Been told it’s because of hormones and having oily skin. What a trade off because having the oily skin keeps my face looking young.
new polish for tonite
polished my nails today, after so many years I still have terrible technique and end up with it everywhere!
Happy Valentines Day, Karen and Tabs!
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY TO YOU AND TAB! =) XO
I do my nails once a week usually.
I’m not a fan of fingernail polish for men, but I would enjoy if my boyfriend would let me paint his toes for fun. That will never happen.
Nail polish for whoever likes it.
I would love to be your Valentine!
Happy Valentine’s Day!! I really like a lot of celebrity makeup. I have to admit Kim Kardashian has beautiful makeup.
I painted my nails once this week.
Miki recently posted … Liebster Award… Round 2!
My manicure was chipping so I tried a tip I read: paint the tips with silver glitter polish to get a few more days out of it. Cool!
Happy Valentines Day!!
I’m gonna go with TayTay too for best makeup on a celeb. She always seems so cool and confident. Same with Natalie Dormer.
I’d love to be your Valentine!
And I love nail polish on men. ๐
Yes I always get the same pimples in the same spot, especially on my chin, annoying.
Would love to be your Valentine! Winning this contest would be sweet as I am having back fusion surgery on the 25th…treating myself would be uplifting!! Nail polish usually lasts a week if I use CND or Zoya or a great polish that is proven to last.
I always get pimples on TOP of some scars I have from a car accident! Very annoying.
You can never have too many Valentines!! Hope you had a great one
Thank you for the wonderful message <3
I painted my nails twice this week I wear a lovely green to pair my Green outfit and green make up eyes and lips, and plants in my green hair in my attempt to dress like poison ivy ( batman female Villain)
and today blue ๐ didnt want the tradicional red for valentines.
recurring pimples yeah those that never go on my chain.
Of course I’ll be your Valentine’s! Thanks for asking! ๐
I haven’t painted my nails this week because I currently have a gel manicure. While I love the fact that it lasts longer than a traditional manicure, it is a pain to remove.
โขWill you be my Valentine? Sorry, I’m my puppy dog’s valentine today ๐
โขHow many times did you paint your nails this week? Twice. Which is quite rare. Only because I wanted Valentines nails.
โขWhatโs your favorite opera? I have only seen a few, but it’s Phantom nonetheless. I just love that play. It hits me hard every time. It’s such a conundrum that one.
โขNail polish for men? I guess so, but not my men. Unless it’s clear. (Not judging, I don’t care, but I can’t say I would date a man who wears color polish. No attraction there for me).
โขBest celebrity makeup? Katy Perry! ๐ Or Gwen, still love her. Or Taylor Swift!
โขRecurring pimples in the same place? Do you get โem? My chin. Yep. I’ve always had acne though.
I didn’t personally change my polish, but I did go to the nail salon for an acrylic refill.
YES!!
I haven’t painted my nails at all this week, but I’m probably going to try Jamberry for the first time tomorrow. And my celebrity makeup crush is Jennifer Anniston.
My nails has actually been nekkid for the past couple weeks,which hasn’t happened in a loooong time.I’ve had problem with them peeling a bit,so I’ve been giving them a breather to -hopefully- recover somewhat ๐
I always get a pimple on my forehead. Same spot. Every time. Super annoying. I have one right now that’s going to explode
One of these days…
Have not been to a real opera show!
I just had a mani and pedi today ๐
Sure–I’ll be your Valentine–why not? ๐ Men and nail polish…nah…not really!
I did my nails the other day instead of shoveling snow from the driveway. Fingers with OPI’s Kiss Me I’m Brazilian and toes with Suzi’s Hungary Again. Yay for pink!! Haven’t done my toes in a while because it’s been too cold to go without socks.
Of course I’ll be your Valentine!!! XOXOXO
Happy Valentines Day! My nails are not painted right now – I need to get to Sephora and get some nail polish!! ๐
Yes I do get recurrent acne! They best way to prevent it for me is regular use of a mild anti acne soap-free cleanser, oil free moisturizer and topical clindamycin gel for breakouts. I tried clensers with salicylic acid and Brevoxyl cream, those were too harsh for my sensitive skin
I love JLo’s makeup! ๐
Gwen Stefani has the best celebrity makeup ever!
Will you be my Valentine? YES!
Recurring pimples in the same place? Do you get ’em? ALSO YES. Internet says I need to change my diet!
Best celebrity makeup : Kate Winslet and Keira Knightly. I love Lisa Eldridge
Of course I’ll be your Valentine, as long as I can still be my fiance’s Valentine too!
Yes, I will be your valentine.
I will definitely be your valentine.
I didn’t paint my nails one time this past week. I started back getting overlays over my real nails a few months ago because for one reason, they stay painted without any chips until I go back to get a full I which is about every three weeks.
I would like to see nailpolish for men!
Went to Mecca Maxima today for the very first time, my goodness, I felt like a kid in a lolly store! So many luxury cosmetics under one roof the experience is exhilarating, I think I still feel like I am on a high!
Valentine? Yes! Opera? La Bohรจme. Nail polish on men? Some can, more should. Best celeb MU? Tilda Swinton, Marion Cotillard.

I love this Mascara above. I use it! I could really use some new make up. Great giveaway! ๐
I haven’t painted my nails all week!
I’ve been doing my nails once a week, which is a lot for me! I’ve been using the Sephora Press Pods that I bought on sale over Christmas. Definitely not my favorite formula, but so many pretty colors!
Happy Valentine’s Day!
I painted my nails twice this week, and vow to continue doing so, despite the havoc playing a stringed instrument (the ukulele) wreaks on my manicure. Yes, I’ll be your valentine!
I painted my nails 3 times thus week ๐
Nail polish for men no!!
Hi! I painted my nails once this week. Lilac, fuschia, and purple/silver glitter on the accent nails. Fun! I used to get pimples in the same place but did a 9 month Retin A treatment and haven’t had pimples since. It completely changed how my skin regenerates itself. For real!
Its freezing outside and i don’t feel like painting my nails. Im curled up in front of a heater, and i wish wish wish, someone would make me a cup of hot chocolate. hmmmmm
Nail polish is for everybody! And Rihanna has the best celeb makeup. She always looks great.
Hope you had a great Valentine’s day!
I didn’t get a chance to paint my nails this week because they were just feeling so dead and brittle, so I trimmed them really short to give them a break ๐

I’ve painted my nails twice this week.
I actually haven’t pained my nails at all this week! The cold hasn’t been kind to my hands and I’ve noticed some peeling on a couple nails so it was time to bust out the duri rejuvacoate!
Valentines day was pretty boring for me – I worked all day and was too bone tired to do much in the evening. Oh well, there are 364 other days in the year to love my man. ๐
I left my nails completely bare the last week. I like to take a week off of polish every once in a while to let my nail bed recover from all the chemicals. I vote no on guy polish.
I absolutely be your valentine <3
I’m definitely struggling with recurring pimples on my chin!
We’re off to do the groceries at Target, as usual! Maybe there will be some fun Valentines goodies on clearance. ๐ I can’t wait until my little munchkin is old enough to get into holidays, he just turned 18 months so maybe next year he’ll be a little interested!

My Valentine’s day included a game of scrabble with my parents in which I lost.
personally i’m not really into nail polish on men!
I painted my nails twice this week
Favourite opera? Hard to pick one… Anything from Wagner, Verdi and Mozart.
didn’t have the time to paint my nails the past week ='(
I actually haven’t painted my nails in over a week – they look so sad! Maybe this afternoon I’ll have time.
Never actual bought anything at sephora but I love the store. Good luck everyone
Yes, I break out on my chin a few times a month. I read that it’s hormonal when it’s on the chin. I’m 29! lol
I didn’t paint my nails at all this week since nail polish starts to chip on me after only a few hours. This is sooooo frustrating!
I don’t paint my nails much anymore……I use jamberry!
my v day was just like any other day
Of course I will be your valentine!!!
And no nail polish for me… I am recovering from a head injury and have the shakiest hands EVER! It would just be a mess lol!
favorite opera? The Magic Flute!!!
I have recurring pimples on my right side of my face then any other part, specifically my cheeks and I don’t know what to use anymore.
This week has been so hectic I only had the chance to put a clear coat on. I hope your Valentine’s Day was lovely! ๐
Emma Stone is someone who’s make-up I always love. It may partly be because she has short red hair and pale skin, so her make-up always works with my coloring too!
I recently purchased that mascara but haven’t gotten a chance to try it yet!
I break out on my chin usually on a monthly basis.:S
I really like Anna Kendrick’s makeup. hope you had a happy Valentine’s Day!
Be glad to be your Valentine! Have a beautiful day!
xoxo
I did not paint my nails this week. Maybe next week!
its the day after vday , time to search for discounted cupcakes!!

I hope you had a wonderful Valentine’s Day! I like your choice of picture; it’s rather apropos ๐

I only painted my nails once this week. It was Valentine themed:)
I haven’t had time to paint them after taking off my old nail polish on Friday. I can’t wait to get a free 30 min to paint them, I don’t like my nails to be bare!
I got my nails done this week and my hubs went with me, he got a manicure too, he likes clean looking hands and nails
I haven’t painted my nails for a couple of months – but I bought some new polish yesterday (on sale at one of the Target stores that is leaving Canada). My favourite opera is Wagner’s Ring Cycle, although that really is a series of operas. I guess my favourite single opera is Nabucco.
I really want to restart my blog and thinking of a good name is the hardest thing ever.
This is such a sweet post! Thanks for doing this awesome giveaway! I’ve painted my nails twice this week. I’ve been loving deep wine colors lately.
I did a fresh mani this week, I’m obsessed with CND’s Vinylux polishes. Great wear time, easily a week with just some wear at the tips. Different formulas wear different, but I love that it lasts without having to grind down my nails like with gel. Plus it removes like regular polish! My fave color is Rouge Red, the formula levels itself beautifully.
My nails have been naked all week :O
Valentine’s day might be over but yes I will be your valentine!
I polish my nails almost every day. I have a very real problem.
I painted my nails twice this week! First they were black with hot pink glitter but it started chipping so now they’re a nice soft, mauve-y nude by Essie. I’m obsessed with giving myself home manicures.
When you go to the dentist do you wear lipstick? I don’t.
I don’t paint my fingernails since I’m a cook, but my toes are always covered! I treated myself to a pedi & am loving the OPI shade, Malaga Wine. It’s more fuschia than merlot & it makes me happy whenever I catch sight of my toes!
I hope you had a wonderful Valentine’s weekend!!
Have a nice week!
For the past two years I break out on my chin at least once a month. And it’s always super painful. I’ve tried laying off the dairy because of hormones, but it’s so hard!
I try to paint my nails a new color every week!
The Phantom Of The Opera!
I did a LOT of nail polish last weekend. I went to Sephora and tested all the most glittery ones.
My favorite opera is Lucia di Lamamoor. You should check it out, Karen! There is a great production in San Francisco Opera this year. I highly recommend it.
I painted my finger nails twice. On Monday, red glitter. Then on Friday, I painted my nails grey and red for Valentine’s Day and seeing Fifty Shades of Grey. I like nail themes.
Nail polish can be great on everyone!
This year my Valentine was my beautiful new kitty ๐
i actually changed my nail polish twice this week ๐ hope you’ve had a relaxing weekend!
My favorite opera is Le Contes D’Hoffman. Totally awesome!
I always get pimples around my chin ๐
Nail Polish for everyone, but I gotta say what would be hot would be nail polish on calloused hands, love a handy guy!
I’m doing my nails tonight, that makes number three for this week. I wanted to do something special for Valentines, but now that it is over, I wanted something a little more “Spring” so I am going glittery pink!
Painted my nails twice this week!
Hi Karen! I was a huge fan of you a few years ago, and I somehow came across your blog again the other day! So happy you’re still maintaining this blog – it’s a real pleasure to read ๐ Hope you had a lovely weekend.
Why is my food taking FOREVER to come.
Haven’t painted my nails in soooo long. I would like to.. Maybe I will!
I gave my nails a 3 week break from nail polish and I just painted them last night with a coat of fiery red Sally Hansen nail polish ๐
Nail polish for men? YAAAASS please. I love a man-icure.
Nail polish for men? At first it’s a little bit awkward, but then I say ‘why not!’.
I often get zits in my chin.
Yes nail polish for men! Yes makeup for men!
Unfortunately, I have been battling repeat offenders in terms of acne on my cheeks and on the side of my jaw line. Initially, I thought the jaw line culprits were because the collar of a jacket combined with some attractive scarf accessorizing so I switched it up and because to pull my cleanser down to the area. I think that that has helped. Usually that area has given me some hormonal trouble but this sneaky and persistent attack lasted for almost a month and a half!! I think my cheek situation is mainly because I touch my face a lot during the day…I need to change that but I haven’t a clue how. I’ll try washing my pillow covers every month instead of every 6 months… Hopefully this battle can be won.
Uh Oh… I was just supposed to leave a message about if I have repeat offender acne areas not write a novella about them and how I combat them.
Sorry! Hopefully this was fun to read…
I’ve painted my nails seven times this week… ๐ Gotta get through all them Valentine’s polishes!!
I painted my nails twice this week and my toenails once. I use light colors on my nails since my nails are short.
I find that I always get pimples around my cheeks and forehead(due to bangs). Ugh! ๐
I try to paint my nails as often as I can, but with my busy schedule I can only paint ’em twice a week max. Just throw on a top coat for some longevity!
How many times did you paint your nails this week? Twice!
Nail polish for men? Sure, only if they want to!
Recurring pimples in the same place? Do you get โem? Yes I do
I didn’t paint my nails at all this week.
Best celebrity make up … Kat Von D usually looks pretty rad, and if I were to win this giveaway I would be going nuts spending it on her studded kiss lipstick range!
Recurring pimples all the time! Why?!
Best makeup: Emma Stone, Emma Watson, Keira Knightley. Anna Kendrick
I really like Emma Stone and Blake Lively make ups…
need to paint my nails asap. it has been a long time..
I usually paint my nails once a week unless their is a special occasion then I may repaint them.
Thanks for a great giveaway! I always get pimples on the side of my nose for some reason…
I had a great Valentine’s Day, spent with good friends! Hope everyone else had a good one as well!

I’m at work and my browser is so old I can’t do the rafflewidget thing. LOL

Yes I get the same pimples in the same spot its SOOO annoying. IfI get really stressed especially if I’m sick or around my period I’ll get a giant cyst on my chin. Also near my lip, right above it. I swear its like a broken pore.
Jlo always rocks the best makeup looks. I only like watching American idol to see what look she’ll have next!
I painted my nails 3 times this week, but the same color(s) – I messed up twice and wanted them to look great for V-Day!
Happy belated V’s to all! Karen, can I just say that I live vicariously through you when it comes to experimenting with all kinds of makeup as I’m not bold enough to try the more fierce color combinations that you showcase so fabulously!
I’m gung ho over Olivia Palermo’s make-up.
I didn’t paint my nails at all this week. I did break a nail and it’s so short it feels (and looks!) awful.
Recurrent chin acne, unfortunately. Ugh.
I painted my nails with Gelish Hello Merlot on Friday. It has been my favorite nail color for a couple months now.
I didn’t paint my nails at all this week!
Please no nail polish for men. Please. Men can easily get a manicure and have nice hands without any color.
I love Sephora, great to find products for any occasion worth dressing up for!
Hope you had a wonderful Valentine’s Day!
I hope you had a great Valentine’s Day Karen!

UGH recurring pimples in the same place. I always get them on the rim of my face cause I’m always touching my hair & my nose cause she hates me. Can they not?
Painted my fingers & toes for Valentine’s Day ๐
I’d love to see more tutorials on older palettes!
I painted my nails once this week ๐
Karen, I’d like to see some reviews on at home gel polishes. For example Salley Hanson. I’m curious to know if they really work! ๐
I NEEEEED to paint my nails this week. Such a chore, but I can’t stand having naked nails lol.
Hi Karen ๐
Have a great week!
Karen! You lovely soul! Have an awesome week!
In response to your prompt, my favourite opera is probably Carmen. I’m like 90 per cent sure it’s Carmen.
I hope you had a great Valentineโs Day!!!
I try to paint my nails once a week!!!
I am currently wearing Dior nail glow on my fingernails & Zoya aurora on my toenails.
Hey Karen!
Hope u enjoyed your valentines day! Not surprisingly, mine was boring and spent alone eating junk food.. and my nails were plain old nude too LOL!
ummm…I haven’t painted my nails (other than clear strengthener) since like the end of October.It’s too cold to worry about being cute. Winter rules – don’t worry about shaving your legs or painting your nails.
spending valentine’s day with friends!!
I don’t paint my nails but my kids are loving having their toes done – both the girl AND the boy. ๐
hi, karen! thanks for the reminder on facebook! i wish i could tell you i painted my fingers and toes a few times this week, but i haven’t painted my nails in a WHILE :/
hoping to muster up some courage to add some colour to these au natural fingers and toes. i’m thinking a perky spring colour. it’s birthday month, so i should make myself feel special.
Thanks for the giveaway!
Yeah, whenever I break out it’s always on my chin, sucks
I painted my nails once this past week. A pretty pink color for Valentine’s Day!
Recurring pimples in the same place – do I get ’em? Yes! On both sides of my cheeks – lately though, they’ve calmed down a bit.

I haven’t painted my nails at all this week ๐ . They could definitely use a nice bright color!
Wearing Probelle Into the Blue from the January IPSY bag.
I haven’t painted my nails in a while T-T
FREEZING weekend, but still had 13 cats adopted at our adopt-a-thon!
Yes, Yes I would love to be your Valentine.
Hi karen, hope you had an amazing Valentine’s day! I almost missed the deadline for this, my 7 month old daughter was recently diagnosed with infantile spasms, a type of seizure. With medication it will be under control and she will outgrow it! ๐
Can I please win this one?
I have puppy snuggles. At least he thinks he’s a puppy.
