I was happily surprised when UPS or FedEx came to my door with Nubar’s new Polka Dots collection last week, because it’s been at the top of my list to order. I love the simple idea of these top coats – hex glitter and fine glitter pieces in a clear base, one black and one …

One of my weekend indiscretions… Last week was a whole new experience for me. Having my gall bladder out last Monday was no fun, and recovery wasn’t as smooth as my friends and family made it out to be! I realize, though, that they downplayed certain things to make me feel a bit better going into …

I’ve really had nothing but praise for the Color Club Backstage Pass Collection. This one today, Platinum Record, is probably my least favorite of all of them, but it’s still a sparkly, nice glitter.
