Happy Earth Day + belated Mani Monday

Welcome to a beautiful Tuesday morning! & let's top off this beautiful weather with that it's EARTH DAY! Mother Nature must be in a good mood because it's going to be in the 80s today in Oklahoma. (: Now, in celebration of Earth Day I moved "Mani Monday" to today (wait what?! What is this madness?!) & chose a lovely, soft pea green to adorn my tips today. 

Today's color is "Stranger Tides" by OPI. I think this color was from their Pirates of the Caribbean collection but I'm not entirely sure since I got it on clearance at ULTA a looooooooooong time ago. I think this soft, dusty green is perfect to honor our Mother Earth as well as being the perfect transition from this bipolar fall-to-spring-back to winter-back to spring & summer weather. 

I had to do 3 coats, although I could've gotten away with just /, my kiddos kept bumping into my arm making the coat all streaky. One coat is quite sheer & actually makes it look like your nails have some sort of fungal coat. 😆 two coats is an ok opacity but I think adding the third was perfect!

What are on your tips today & what do you plan on doing to celebrate Earth Day?

60 Second Nail Polish? How Absurd!

I was in Walmart the other day & saw Rimmel London's new line of 60 SECOND NAIL POLISH! Say what?! Nail Polish that dries in 60 seconds?! No flipping way! As a working mother with 2 toddlers, I need a quick drying nail polish. But just how great can the coverage be & the staying power? Welp, I put Rimmel's "Sage All the Rage" to the test!

2 coats. Day 1. No undies & no top coat.

I did 2 coats of this lovely sage-y green color {which, for some off reason looks teal from my camera. grrr}. Did it dry in 60 seconds? Umm... Maybe like 90 but I didn't allow the first coat to fully dry either before I slathered on a second coat. Still not bad for a $1.50 polish. (:

I'm expecting the polish to start chipping like crazy when I go to work later that day but take a look at this! 

2 coats. Day 3. No undies or top coat.

Absolutely NO CHIPS & NO FADING! 3 days in & it still looks fresh & clean! I am LOVING this polish. Hands down. To give you a better idea of how often I use my hands: I work in a call center taking insurance claims for about 10 hours a day meaning my nails are ALWAYS typing which should cause usual wear & tear on the tips. I am also a mother to a 2 year old & 3 year old little boys who are rambuncious from the time they get up until the time I leave for work. So top regular household chores with 2 toddlers & a full time job. Nails should chip... alot! Right?

Nope! Take a look at this ONE WEEK OLD mani!

2 Coats. Day 7. No undies or top coat.

Thats it! Minimal top fading & the only reason my pointer finger on my RIGHT HAND ONLY chipped at the corner was due to me chewing my on nails. Can you believe the staying power of this cheap-o nail polish?! I do believe I will be going back to Walmart & grabbing one of every color. (:

Have you tried the 60 second nail polish? What do you think of it? What is your favorite color of the line?
