All my OPI, Essie and regular nail polishes are jealous. Why? Because I have been loyal to gel polish ever since I started getting $25 gel manicures at the salon. I only did this for about a few months last year until I realised that I'd save so much money by doing it myself at home. That's when I hunted down the Sephora by OPI Gel Shine Kit. The kit was a bit expensive so it's a good thing I know a few people who work for Sephora ;-) I love that LED light is safer than UV light, also I can use any gel nail polish with the kit. So, I've picked up some drug store gel polishes (average $9)-which last the same two weeks as the OPI gel shine ($17) Now I can have a variety of gel colours and an easy, quick French Manicure too! I only visit the nail shop once in a while for a spa pedicure. When I use to go the mandatory 2 weeks for a spa pedicure and gel manicure! You do the math...

UK Haul vs US Drug Store Haul
During my UK visit to my now Fiance, I picked up some drugstore items that we don't have here and clothes at Primark, which is probably equivalent to like Target, not sure what to compare it to. Stuff was very affordable-I'll see if it lasts. Because though I LOVE AFFORDABLE, I am a magnet for affordable yet LASTING. I ussually shop where I can get designer brands or good quality items at discounted price. Such as TJ Maxx, Loehman's and Nordstrom Rack. I also added some purchases I made this month at Walgreens.
NutriBullet
I've been feeling SUPER ENERGETIC and had less of an appetite for salt, sugar and meat. The Nutribullet is all to blame...
BB Creams for Darker Skin Tones
Gosh Cosmetics, Maybelline and Smashbox all have great options for BB Creams that will cover darker skin tones. Though in the drugstore here in the US Maybelline is the only option. I found many choices in the UK. Here's a video on the three:
I'd love to post some pics of how my skin looks with each one on. Comment and I will!
