imPress Press on Nails Review

-

I was taking the boys out and realized I wouldn’t have time to do my nails over the course of the weekend due to the Labor Day holiday. So, I turned to the imPress press on nails that I had sitting with the rest of my nails stuff. I was a little on the fence because this particular brand has the peel and stick adhesive guaranteeing to last. 


I had used them once before and they didn’t last the full night let alone the ride in the car. By the end of the night I had 2-3 nails missing from each hand. Which had me feeling like I should have went to the event with my nails not being done at that point. Which I found interesting because I had tried another imPress press on set and it lasted for a week actually longer. Disappointed was an understatement when it didn’t work out that time.


This time knowing that I was going to be outside these nails needed to last me. I prepared my natural nails as if I was going to do the “gel x” application. I used DND tip glue applied to my natural nails and cured them for 10 seconds to make the nails sticky. I applied the tip glue to the press on nails and then my nail and cured it under the lamp for 30 seconds. Once I completed the hand I would do a full cure of 120 seconds under the lamp. I didn’t remove the sticky adhesive prior to applying the nails to my nail. They actually came in handy on a couple of nails where I didn’t apply enough glue. The sticky adhesive held the nail in place closer to the tips of the nails so I could add the amount of glue and clean up the nails where necessary.


I am happy to report that the nails are still lasting. It has been over a week since I have applied the press ons. The only thing that I have noticed is the coffin shape is now more oval which is fine to me. I have a tendency sometimes to be hard on nails since I use my hands alot. I do like a good oval look and I am still getting compliments on them. I’m debating on doing a follow up post about these nails. Let me know of you would be interested.


Well I hope you enjoyed this post and I’ll see you in the next one!


With gratitude,


Cita

Easing Back into Blogging

-
I posted my first blog post in some years just the other day. While I was going through my drafts I counted and I have 26 drafts of posts that I have not posted in the all the years I was blogging! At first I couldn’t believe I had so many posts just left there. Then I really thought about I know and understand why they were just left there. Some for reason of “being seen” and others for situations I was dealing with in my life. I didn’t want to start the blog post off with “I’m back!” Or “Yes, I know it been awhile…” I’ve done all of that before only to leave and not post for months or in this case years until now… all I can say is that I am here now.  I wanted to start this month off with easing back into blogging. I want to get use to blogging again and do it with no pressure to post for the sake of posting. I enjoy writing and getting back into the swing of things will show me how much I missed the creative process. I’m unsure if I should use any of those old post at this point see

Can we talk for a second? So, I just so happened to be on  Pinterest  and this picture of a lip balm crossed my screen. It was the  Shea Moisture Shea Butter Vegan Lip Balm  in Coconut & Hibiscus and African Water Mint & Ginger. Pause. I must get it... both flavors... I then check on Target & Walmart to see if I can get it in store. Yes, I can. I purchased it from my local Walmart and couldn't be any happier. Open it up apply it to my lips. What is that smell? The taste... What the heck is in this lip balm? Can I be honest for a second? I don't like it. Ok, don't get the pitch forks out just yet. I'm a Shea Moisture fanatic. Shea Moisture is always my go to, my wishlist, my it gets me every time Walgreen's has a bogo sale. But, here me out for a second. I don't like it for the following two reasons, it smells and tastes like castor oil to me. It has the faint smell of the Coconut & Hibiscus but the smell that overpowers everything else is t

How A Setback Can Put You in Proper Alignment

I woke up with a cold sore last week Friday and I was filled with so many emotions none of which were happy. I was upset with the fact that I didn’t think the day prior was that stressful but my body told me otherwise. I was upset because that meant I let an event get to me that much that the stress caused this to happen. But, I hadn’t eaten the best that week I had been reminded that I had eaten McDonald’s twice that week (which is something I normally don’t do), my upcoming cycle didn’t help the situation either and the life event was just probably the icing on the cake.   I was disappointed to say the least but I had to sit with the thought of everything happens for a reason. The longer I sat with it the more I thought about how I hadn’t been taking care of myself like I really should in a while now. I remembered some of the stuff I use to do and I wasn’t doing it anymore. Talking with a family member they reminded me that sometimes as a mother you neglect yourself while caring for
