The Clean I Didn't Expect With Michael Todd True Organics Soniclear!

Product provided for review.  All opinions are my own.

Hello, Fireflies!

Before I get started, you should know that I am an idiot.  In the picture above, the Soniclear is facing the wrong way in the charger.  Just thought I should get that out of the way.  If you buy this machine, TURN IT AROUND in the charger.

Luckily, it arrived fully charged, and a charge can last 30-40 uses, so I wasn't kept from using it.  And, use it I did.  It's like nothing else I've tried!

Avon and Glitter I

Some of my earliest nail polishes were Avon - in the square bottles.  A bright orange and a light grey.  Must have been 20 years ago, because they're back in fashion again!

I decided to try Avon again, and ordered some polishes from my friend Alyssa from Pretty Little Bottles.

This is pretty pix heavy, so I put all the lovelies after the jump!

Really dressed-up digits

I am all about a good dupe, and these Jessica polishes were supposed to be just like the Dior spring 2012 collection that were so beautiful.  I don't even know how many peach/orange polishes I bought trying to match this color.  So glad I finally was able to get Jessica Love Story!

I wasn't worried about the VNL because I knew I wanted to try this glitter.  I am really enjoying the glitter trend with oranges and yellows.  If it looks like an orange or a fire, I'm probably going to want it!  I couldn't resist Indie polish  The Polish Bar Citrus Squeeze.   I think it goes perfectly with Love Story - it's not so orange that the orange glitter gets lost, and not so yellow that the yellow glitter is hidden.  The white just pops on it.  I got some compliments on this combo.

You may think that's the end of the manicure, but you'd be wrong.  I added a new piece of nail jewelry, recently introduced by Chronicle Stones, called the Nail Veil.

Nail Veils come in several different styles  - some are long and pointy, some have jewels hanging on them, but I loved this one the best.  Unlike rhinestones or most other nail art, this is real jewelry, and it is reusable.  You can put polish on it, or topcoat, or nail glue, and then clean it with acetone, and you're ready to go again.  

Now that is a dressed-up manicure!  What do you think about nail jewelry?
