Manicure Monday: Toad-ally Amazing

So, I’m really in the hang of painting my nails now.  Even the Mr is noticing.  This week I decided to try out Toad-ally Amazing from Wet & Wild’s Spoiled collection.  I’ve had this polish for almost a year and this is my first time using it on my own nails.  I painted Moo’s nails with it twice.

Overall, I like the color.  I reminds me of a sea foam green with a hint of blue.  There’s also some shimmer or very fine glitter in it.  So, your nails sparkle really nice in the lights.  You will definitely need to do at least two coats.  In fact, my only complaint about this polish is that it’s really thin.  I did two coats and some of my nails still had a few thin spots but I didn’t have time to add a third coat.
It’s done really well on chipping.  Today is Day 3 and there’s a little chipping, but I do wash my hands a lot with hot water.  Also, I handwash my dishes.  So, that’s contributed to the chipping too.  But I’ve been hearing a lot of wonderful things about those gel polish top coats.  I might visit my CVS and see if I can find one.  That might help to preserve my manicures longer.
But this is a nice polish to have.  It dries glossy and feels really smooth.  I think I purchased this from Dollar General for a $1.  So, it’s inexpensive.  And speaking of Dollar General, they do carry Wet & Wild and have a great selection.  You can find of the funkier and out of the box colors there.  They have a neon yellow that glows in the dark that I’m wanting to try out when Spring gets here.  Be sure to head over to Lipgloss & Binky to link up!

Stay Cozy With Old Navy

The first official day of winter is almost here.  The weather outside is already cold and nippy. So, what better way to stay warm and cozy than with a nice warm sweater or cardi from Old Navy?!  You all know that I love some Old Navy!  Sadly, I wasn’t able to make it to the store in time to use my coupon because I got it late and the car was in the shop. 

No worries though, I have no issues with spending my cash money at Old Navy, they’re worth it.  On my second attempt to visit Old Navy my phone died. So, no cute instore pics of Moo enjoying the mannequins this time.  However, I did find her some cute stuff on clearance.  They’ll make great gifts if you’re still finishing up your holiday shopping too!
Women’s Multi-Patterned Crew Sweater-Heather Charcoal
I love crew sweaters and had planned on using my coupon to get this lovely beauty, but my store didn’t have it in stock. Bummer.  But what I like about this sweater are the colors.  They’re not traditional winter or holiday colors which means I can wear this before and after Christmas.  I also like the thickness.  I like to be nice and toasty. A great gift for the young and older.
Women’s Faux-Suede Sherpa-Trim Boots-  Dark Brown
How cute are these?  Gotta keep the feet warm too right?  Thinking about leaving a stick it note on Santa’s wallet and hoping these can make a magical appearance under the tree before Christmas gets here. 
Women’s Softest Blanket-Wrap Cardi- Graphite Heather
Aside from sweaters, I also love staying cozy with wrap cardis!  My baby sister introduced me to these and now I’m hooked.  You can add a belt to give it more pop or to hold it close in the front.  Love these!!
Men’s Fair Isle Zip-Front Cardigan
I’m debating on whether to go back and pick this up for the Mr.  He’s a sweater guy but I’m trying to get him to try new things when it comes to his fashions.  I could see this paired with a nice plaid button up.
Men’s Everyday Classic Slim-Fit Shirt- White/Red Plaid
Maybe, pairing that cardigan with something like this?  I’ve never ever seen him in a plaid shirt.  So, I’m thinking hard on getting him one.  There’s just something sexy about a guy in plaid.  Tasteful plaid that is.
Hooded Flannel Shirt-Blue Plaid
How cute would JJ look in that?  I’m finally getting used to having a little man to dress.  And he actually enjoys being dressed which is a change from Moo when she was his age. 
Girls Mixed-Stripe Sweater Dress-Cyclamen  Stripe
Isn’t this the cutest little sweater dress.  I could so see Moo in this with a white tights and some red or black booties.  I’ve got it in my virtual cart because it wasn’t at my store.  There’s another Old Navy close by and I want to check and see if they have it to make sure it’s here for Christmas. Can’t wait!!
I hope that you will check out Old Navy!  They really do have some amazing winter wear and a little something for everybody on your gift list.  Plus, the prices are hard to beat.  Happy Holidays and Happy Shopping
