Travel FOTD and NOTD



Heading off to visit my brother and his family ... here's a quick peek at what my look was for the day I spent traveling! ... Simple eye look with a basic nail color.  I picked this nail color in hopes that I wouldn't have to redo or touch up my nails during the whole 5 days I was gone and thankfully it worked!!

Review - Out the Door Top Coat



Ok! So as some of you may know, I’m a loyal fan of my Beauty Secrets top coat.  It’s what I've used for years and have sworn by it.  It previous posts I’ve explained my belief about how you can use less expensive nail polishes if you have better quality top and bottom coats.  I still believe this and now I would have to say I have a new favorite top coat!

Now let me explain….

I still love my other top coats and think it definitely is a good top coat and would still recommend it to anyone.  However, I’m not a very patient person and have a hard time waiting around until my nails are dry enough.  Usually end up messing up at least one nail because I try to do something too soon.  Yes. Yes, I know, this is my fault and if I would just wait until they are completely dry, I would avoid this.  I usually change polish about twice a week, sometimes I only do it once a week.  Whatever the break down is, waiting a full hour to ensure my polish is completely dry just doesn’t always work.  Especially for those last minute decisions “oh, I should paint my nails before dinner”, which is usually decided with not enough time to do a full polish change… Man, I’m really hoping I’m not the only one out there with this issue!! 

So! While at Sally’s looking at products.  I ran in looking for Orly’s Nail Strengthener and it never fails, I can’t walk in looking for one thing and walk out with only that one thing!! As I browsed around I came across the Out The Door top coat.  I’ve heard great things about this top coat.  I’ve even recently watched YouTube videos from Beauty Gurus giving it rave reviews.  So, I figured for around $4, what did I really have to loose?

Wow… I definitely got long winded … promise to wrap this up!!


Long story short … this is probably the fastest drying top coat I have ever tried!! From removal of polish until my new polish was dry was less than a hour.  And when I say dry, I mean I was able to put my hair up with a pony and wash dishes without the polish chipping, smudging or rubbing off.  It was awesome!!
