Valentine's Day Shoes...

What are you ideal Valentine's Day Shoes? Do you keep it simple and just wear whatever the weather "allows" you to wear or do you spice it up and throw on some super sexy red high heels?

I think it all depends on your mood. If it is too cold where you are and you're afraid to get too sexy for fear of falling throw on a nice wedge. Here's one that I think says safe, yet sexy:

Bordello Burlesque Shoes Camille

                                     Red Wedge $55

If you are not afraid to be sexy for your Valentine here's one for you:

Michael Antonio Lantana Pump $44.95

The above are just some suggestions from me. I don't have either of the above shoes and if I was going out with my Husband tonight I would've probably went with: 

 JS by Jessica Simpson $59.95

Tell me your plans on your outfit and shoes. 

Are you playing it safe in flats, trendy in wedges and daring in Heels? 

Happy Valentine's Day to All!!

Happy Valentine's Day

I was working on a post for the Wet n Wild ColorIcon collection, well the 6 I have, and decided to go with the Red color because it was so pretty. The Red color is called: Rockin' Rubies and it is beautiful. Upon first glance, you can see the red and pink glitter, but there are more colors involved. Here's a close up of the lacquer to show the variations throughout:

This picture shows the Red, Purple, yellow, green and even pink holographic glitter.

This was perfect for Valentine's day! I'm not really a pink girl so Red works for me. 

The name Rockin' Rubies works! It's definitely Rockin' and so shiny and sparkly! 

More pics:

 It's .34 fl oz. compared to OPI, China Glaze and Zoya that are usually .05 fl oz just to give a comparison. The small square shape has it's good and bad qualities. It's good because it's not bulky and allows for a nice hold while you polish. However, it does seem to be just a smidge too small because it kept slipping through my grasp. Maybe, I just have big hands!! :-)

I absolutely LOVE this color. My Husband loved it too. We decided it'll be perfect for Today! Happy Valentine's Day everyone!!





 I'll have another post with the other Wet n Wild ColorIcon polishes I picked up. In depth review about the "chunkiness" and so on.


Until you read again,

Shopping at CVS

Have you heard of Extracare bucks? This is a program at CVS at basically rewards shoppers for buying certain products. This can be very beneficial you is as a consumer. 

 ExtraCare Card.


 Go into CVS and sign up for an ExtarCare card. CVS has a big red machine that prints out coupons when you scan your card. Be sure to scan this card until you see a a message that states "no more coupons check back tomorrow". Sometimes you will receive some great coupons and sometimes not so great.



 Green tag. 


 Get a green tag and attach it to a reusable bag/ tote. Here's where you can use those extra DSW totes that they give out on the Facebook page. Every time you go to CVS take the bag (with the tag) and have them scan it. The Green tag is $1. However, every fourth visit you will receive $1 ECB (extra care buck). You'll defintely get your money back on the green tag! :-)





 Beauty club.
 
Join CVS' beauty club. For every $50 you spend on beauty products you will receive $5 ECB!! This is the part that is so great for us polish lovers! You can go into CVS pick up polish and earn money for doing your regular shopping. Doesn't that sound exciting? I think so.


Also, CVS sends emails out stating 20% off a certain $$ amount, $4 off $20 purchase, $5 off $30 purchase and so on. These are great to have, too because you can use these with your ECBs and any other coupons you have.


 Example: I have 2 $1 off coupons for any Revlon beauty product, $4 off $20 purchase and $6 in ECBs. I would have the cashier ring everything by:
 1. Scanning my Extra Care Card
 2. Ringing my goodies
 3. Scanning my Green tag bag
 4. Scanning my coupon for $4 off $20 purchase
 5. Scanning any coupons I have
 6. Scanning my ECBs

Then you will pay out of pocket (OOP) anything your coupons and ECBs doesn't cover.

Does this make sense? Let me know if it doesn't by leaving a comment or by emailing me tallgirlinheels@gmail.com. I will try to explain it to you further. Also, if you have anything to add please do so!

 Thanks for reading. Please follow the blog!!

Bite The Bullet...

Wet n Wild MegaLast "Bite The Bullet" is such a beautiful color! It goes on very evenly and opaque in one coat. This Creme lacquer comes with a great brush! The brush seems to shape to my finger nail and allow for great coverage the first time around. I did, however, use two coats just to be on the safe side :-). I would defintely reccommend this product!

The bottle has a different shape than other bottles which makes it easy to hold while you polish your nails. What kind of shape do you like for your polishes to have?









The Brush:

The Brush is similar to this brush by Sally Hansen.


Check out the color for yourself with different Fingerpaint Flakies: "Asylum," "Twisted" & "Motley" I liked "Bite the Bullet" best with Finger Paints "Twisted."

"Bite The Bullet" with Finger Paints "Twisted" on top:

Check out the way "Twisted" Flakes sparkles on top. It's just beautiful.

I love this combination. I got several compliments when I wore these two together.













What do you think of the two together?

I can't wait to try other colors!!

Sally Hansen Hi-Definition Nail Color

Sally Hansen Hi-Definition Nail Color are Toluene, DBP and Formaldehyde free and are available in 16 shades. Most retailers are selling these for $5.79 and up. I have been hearing good things about the Sally Hansen HD (Hi-Definition) polishes, but I never bought any. No real reason, I just didn't. I heard a tip that Christmass Tree Shops had them for $1 I decided to see if one of these stores were located in my area.



I had never heard of this store before and I located two stores fairly close. One was within 20 minutes. I found the store and located the Sally Hansen HD Nail Color for $1! The bad thing is that they only had three different colors: "Pixel Pretty", "Lite" and "Cyber." According to Sally Hansen HD polishes are "Patented formula with Real Liquid Crystals for multi-dimensional color and iridescent shine!"



Pixel Pretty is a blue-green color. It was my favorite of the three I tried. I like how thin it was and not too runny. Cyber is the Purple color. It was really close to my favorite, but I'm more of a blue girl :-). This one went on with little issues as well. Two coats and the color was lovely for both.



Finally, Lite. Well, Lite is yellow. I'm not really a fan of yellow so Lite was okay. Lite was also a little runny, much more than the other two. I had spillage onto my cuticles over and over. I removed and removed and then I was able to do two coats, FINALLY! I'm already not the best nail painter in the world and Lite added to my frustrations. This was my least favorite. I would probably use Lite on my toes only due to the mess it kept making. I'd say I'll definitely use it again though.




Here are some picture of the colors:

Pixel with flash and without a flash. Love this color!!

Cyber is very nice, too! Again, with the flash for the first two and without a flash for the last one.

Lite is a very pretty yellow, but this was too thin and runny. The first is without a flash and the second one is with a flash.


What do you think of the Sally Hansen Hi-Definition Nail Color? Do you have any? How was the formula?


I will definitely be on the look out for the other 13! :-)

Orly Androgynie

This weekend I decided to go dark with my polish. I still wanted a little sparkle so I chose to go with Orly's Androgynie. This color is beautiful! It's a black base lacquer with small glitter sparkles and big colorful hexagon sparkles.

This is how it looked on.

Here's a close view. I tried to get close to show the colorful pieces throughout. (Sorry to get this close it is a little blurry.)

I was just swatching this color at first and then I fell in love with it and had to do my whole manicure.

I loved this lacquer, but I wish Orly would have added a little more of the color pieces into the mixture. I didn't get a lot of color on every nail. Some nails had one or two pieces and some nails had lots of color. I just wished it was a litle more balanced. Overall, I'm satisfied.

What do you think of this color? Do you have it?
