OPI Nail Envy Nail Strengthener

Hey girly's <3
are you all enjoying back 2 school?? It's definetely bitter sweet for me!! I don't have any classes I was hoping to get and am scrambling to work out some sort of schedual for myself!! ugghh oh well, could be worse!! Anyways.... I wanted to do a review on OPI's Nail Envy because I have benn using it for quiet some time now.

As you can see from the bottle I am almost out. So now I am coming to a decision. Should I re-purchase or choose something else? Prior to a year ago I always wore acrylic nails. For years I always had fake nails so when I finaly had enough of those and started to repair my nail strength my nails were TERRIBLE!! They were so small and thin and would break whenever they grew any sort of length. I was recomended OPI nail strengthener and I fell in love right away!! My nails were doing very well there for a while. They were strong and would stay an exellent length. But once it hit summer this year my nails have been breaking ALL the time!! I don't know if its just coincidence or if they are not as strong but they are definetley not the same as when I first started using this product!! I see other people's nails and some of them are getting lengths that I would never dream of reaching with my 'natural' nails. So, I am possibly considering changing my nail strengthener. If I can find something that everyone is very impressed with.

So now my question!! What are you all using for nail strengthener?? I am after something that gives me excellent length!! I would love some feed back ladies please help me out!!

Maybelline Express Finish Timely Turquoise

Hey dolls <3
I am so pumped today!! I just applied for a dream job!! (fingers crossed!!) And finished up registering for the fall semester and am hopefully getting some of the core classes I need to finish up and get my degree! It feels like I'm starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel!! So what do I do when I'm in a good mood?? Paint my nails of coarse!! I've decided since its officially September I should break out more *fall* colors as opposed to my pink & orange summer colors!! Buuut I didn't want something TOO fall-ish cause it is still sunny and hot here so I picked something shiny so its still a bit summery!! So here is Maybellines Express Finish in Timely Turquoise...

I love this color!! It is so pretty!! It glided on very nicely with no streaks! I would say it had an average dry time though nothing special!! Anywho, hope you all enjoy long weekends! :)

Value Village 50% Off Haul!!

Hey deary's <3
How are you all doing? Can you believe tomorow is the last day of August?! :( I do not want summer to be over!! It feels like it only just began! I definetly am not looking forward to be going back to school. I've quiet enjoyed spending all my time with Ava just hanging out and playing! She is so much more fun then being stuck in school. Oh well, I know it will better her in the end and that is all that counts! Anyways.....Value Village was having one of their anual 50% off days. I have not been to one of these since I was a teenager (I used to LOVE going to thrift stores) I remember driving past Value Village at 630am last year and there was people all lined up waiting to go in and I didn't know why. Well I guess it's because on 50% off days they open at 7am!! (I never knew this!) Sooo I woke up super early and got in on all the fun! I got a few cute things! But I must say it was extremely busy that morning and I think going at 10am would not be that much difference then waking up extra early to go! Anyways on to what I got.......

All this for $20!! Sweet deal!!

My Fall Clothing Wishlist!!

Hey Dolls <3
How have you all been? I went on a final "camping" (in a hotel? does that count as camping lol) trip this week!! I was going to do a post on Sunday before I left but I was busy packing mine and Ava's bags (2 girls gone for one week require a lot of stuff!!) Anyways when I got back I had an hour to kill inbetween appointments so I decided to pop into Sirens and 'browse'. I've been spending money like CRAZY lately so I'm trying not to spend any money so all I actualy bought was a nude nail polish (exciting right?!) Anyways they had all their new fall stuff out and oh my I have got the biggest wishlist for their store now!! I wanted to do this post with items right of their site but apperently they only have this lame little 'online catolouge'. (how silly is that?) So I searched a few sites and found just as great stuff!! These items make the fact that summer is coming to an end a little less bitter!!

                                         Rust Skinny Jeans $29.90 @ Forever 21

                                           Grey patterned Sweater $69 @ Urban Outfitters

                           Mustard colored Sweaters $13.50 @ Forever 21

Print Sweater Dress $21.80 @ Forever 21

                              Red Flannel Shirt $17.50 @ Forever 21

What are all your 'must haves' this fall?? I can't wait to see some great Fall hauls!!
