Fall Break

I'm going to be taking a short break from posting and also will be pulling way back on my internet usage in general for the next little while. I'll still be doing stuff for the blog, though, namely a wear test on these babies—Sally Hansen Insta Gel Strips:



I had a coupon for Bed Bath & Beyond and just decided to go for it. I waited so long to try the regular strips and found I really liked those when I eventually did take the plunge, so I'm getting in early on these. Surely a sign how strip crazy I am that I've not really been super tempted by gel polish until it showed up in this form.

I plan to be back on November 7th. In the meantime, if you really need to get in touch with me, e-mail the.karend @ gmail.com.

      Aly, yep, the lamp is just big enough for one fingertip at a time. It's rather cute. :)

    i haven't even seen those yet. i just tried the regular strips this week. they're ok and i think are good for complicated designs. but i can't imagine them lasting 10 or wanting to do them all the time. i am interested in the gel strips though.

    have a fun break. happy halloween!

    Have a wonderful time on your break.

    I've been wanting to try these and I cannot wait for your review! I had no idea these were sold at BBB. I get 20% coupons off ALL the time and I end up throwing them out :(

      Dinitchka, only some BBB stores have cosmetics in them (you can search their website to see which ones); I'm fortunate that the BBB on my way home from work is one that does have nail polish.

Thank you for reading and commenting! I greatly appreciate knowing I'm not just talking to myself here. :) I'm moderating most comments now due to the spate of spammers who claim to be looking for sexy times.
