The Valvet Manicure by CIATE' at Sephora

Over the weekend, I was able to stop by one of my favorite cosmetics stores. Since moving 25 miles from the nearest one..I don't get to visit as much as I use too. The first thing I notice was the new Ciate' Velvet Manicure.

We all know the OPI and Essie are the top contenders in the nail polish world but Ciate' has some of the most creative and effortless nail polish. In Berry Poncho, Mink Cashmere and Blue Suede..each set come with nail polish, tube of crushed velvet and a brush.

Apply the nail polish on all nails and let them dry( few mins). Add another coat and quickly try to sprinkle on the velvet. Use the brush to even out the texture. Instructions comes with each set and you can always Youtube a how to video..

Don't wait too long to get yours, these will go very fast and will be a fall trend everywhere. I'm getting mines in blue and purple.

My summer vacation is coming to a end...

I can't say that I've been having the most exciting summer but I can say it was a vacation!! I will be wrapping up our vacation in a week to get back to LIFE lol

With me making everyday a "relaxin by the pool day" or "shopping for something day"..I've neglected my blog :( ..not on purpose I promise!

I got the chance to experience different hotel styles of living and this one(above) was by far my fav so far. It was more like a apartment in NYC..small, modern, compact but comfy. Kitchen with a   seperate dining room. The Macy's entrance to the mall was about 50 feet from the entrance of the hotel. Plenty of shopping, dining and attractions that was all walking distance. I snap this pic, just as I was pulling off on my last day there.

This is the view me and the boys got to wake up to every morning..with coffee in hand, I would take a few moment so just enjoy.
