It looks like this design in no longer offered. I bought these, oh, probably 2 years ago. When I was packing to move, I cut the package apart and put it and the nails into a snack zip bag, and brought them along in the car.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">These are long on me but sometimes I just want that option. After I applied the nail to my natural nail, I put a little bit of glue behind my nail, into the well of my finger, to fill in the gap where I could see through the nail, because my real nail is so short. </div><div style="text-align: center;">I used Nailene pink gel glue because the Fashion Express nails don't come with glue.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">They cost between $3.99-$4.49. Since there are 24 nails in the package, I should have enough for one more manicure. A very inexpensive alternative to salon nails. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Even though these are dressier nails, I'm wearing them with my olive colored shirt today. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXd2DE1fmKGzzxJVPWv5vFrHInIMcBLDOLvKpg35lxWVTVeWOpcw5t9Lo4EJIEicH8V-sgeMheZ6Imyk0wXob0yVGUIF5nGcu1neWoJvp2fOdbXuzyFBvs0eiDmCSDERKfGCavk7Wfm0zR/s1600/BroadwayFlash-6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXd2DE1fmKGzzxJVPWv5vFrHInIMcBLDOLvKpg35lxWVTVeWOpcw5t9Lo4EJIEicH8V-sgeMheZ6Imyk0wXob0yVGUIF5nGcu1neWoJvp2fOdbXuzyFBvs0eiDmCSDERKfGCavk7Wfm0zR/s320/BroadwayFlash-6.jpg" width="255" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">I think they look good with this color.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I just love the Hollywood fold out cover editions. The nails and polish are inspired by this beautiful cover.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidb3aq1kcLYL-r5PoObgHo-AhzA-AiYlKpAGP_AEkXS-CFC4HCJLddK5xGN8rRTlcxGZx6HtdWxIYs9jmlJJKHZoS_ze9vAiWUlDbd9tNWfXW5n6XpqKcjRG0HhP6sFwwP96Fe26SPwfol/s1600/Hollywood-7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="176" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidb3aq1kcLYL-r5PoObgHo-AhzA-AiYlKpAGP_AEkXS-CFC4HCJLddK5xGN8rRTlcxGZx6HtdWxIYs9jmlJJKHZoS_ze9vAiWUlDbd9tNWfXW5n6XpqKcjRG0HhP6sFwwP96Fe26SPwfol/s400/Hollywood-7.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
I started off with Fing'rs California girl short length nails with black and floral design tips.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdtOak0AUFQgh8K5n4ojYk5D2uLcRydDpwL6Sgz7iB4YjjdWT8YrSNwTPRDSB7doa4sSsVVGzsQcv58_HcMu9iurL4Vt137_b298uOkzOeJ7wHtCSucEDwbWXkR-EZs0Qm1EwDCIUuAUBi/s1600/Hollywood-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdtOak0AUFQgh8K5n4ojYk5D2uLcRydDpwL6Sgz7iB4YjjdWT8YrSNwTPRDSB7doa4sSsVVGzsQcv58_HcMu9iurL4Vt137_b298uOkzOeJ7wHtCSucEDwbWXkR-EZs0Qm1EwDCIUuAUBi/s1600/Hollywood-1.jpg" /></a></div><br />
The length of these nails are so natural looking and comfortable. However, I'm all thumbs when it comes to applying them. They are so short and I can't grab them and put them on without getting air bubbles. Ugh! But I love the length and design so I came up with a solution. More on that in a moment.<br />
<br />
As I said above, I got inspired by the Vanity Fair Hollywood edition magazine cover. The actresses and their dresses are just gorgeous. I love the 1940's feel to the design of the dresses and cover. Rooney Mara's black bob is striking with her pale pink dress. And that's what gave me inspiration when I was faced with 8 fingers of air bubbles.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxQHd65RTtECFcHMSQ50IZtS6qgJ_yZOKyQasQf0Gl1nl_MGw7X2Urp5OxD3bKHzXHe5idFjlHJ6ZZLUajnZJ0n_FEsu91lRBJGJzXuLwhtxYXhvlTdSdWUz12DF2-YXJqzSS1NMDrI5S5/s1600/Hollywood-6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxQHd65RTtECFcHMSQ50IZtS6qgJ_yZOKyQasQf0Gl1nl_MGw7X2Urp5OxD3bKHzXHe5idFjlHJ6ZZLUajnZJ0n_FEsu91lRBJGJzXuLwhtxYXhvlTdSdWUz12DF2-YXJqzSS1NMDrI5S5/s1600/Hollywood-6.jpg" /></a></div>I took Confetti Dreamdate and added a layer over the nail beds, avoiding the floral design. Then with Wet n Wild Hallucinate, I covered the floral designs, avoiding the black tips as much as possible. By doing this the air bubbles are much less noticeable.<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"> I always feel better when my nails look pretty.</div><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">I'm sure I'm not alone in this feeling. Am I?</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Nothing much new has happened since my last post. We're still looking for a home to buy. Still living in hotels. And I'm still biting my nails because of all the stress.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I wore these nails, probably when I first bought them and before I starting blogging.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I can't find them in my blog post list.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Before we left our old home and started on this adventure, I consolidated my fake nails collection. </div><div style="text-align: center;">You can read about here. <a href="http://tinyplasticfingernails.blogspot.com/2011/10/fake-nails-collection-consolidated.html" target="_blank">"Click Here"</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">These Broadway Color Changing Nails are a really cute idea. I believe when I wore them before, they didn't change color in the sun. I had put a clear top coat over them and thought maybe that had affected their ability to change.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

The internet in this hotel is very slow tonight. I'm not sure I'll be able to get my two pictures uploaded. At least the 5 or 6 women who played twister above our heads last night are gone...or out for the evening. <br />
<br />

It took 2 pads. Each pad is thick, slightly nubby, and soaked with nail polish remover. $4.19 for 10 pads. The box claims that one pad can get polish off of 10 nails. Maybe so, but I had probably 4 or 5 layers with all nail polish to paint the daisies, plus that was back in August so the polish was really old. However, the pads did get the polish layers off, and I was able to paint them today.<br />

It's a light mossy green. At first, I didn't think I'd like it too much, but it's grown on my now. The first coat is really streaky but the next coat evens it out. The 3rd coat completes the smooth look. I thought this was similar to Essie Sew Psyched but <a href="http://tinyplasticfingernails.blogspot.com/2011/10/essie-sew-psyched.html" target="_blank">*click here*</a> I see that one is a really dark moss. <br />

What do you think of Da Bush? Do you own it? Do you like it? Do tiny nail polish brushes bother you?<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I've been so stressed by this move, and buying a home, I've reverted back to stripping the bark off my nails. They're just sub-nubs now.

My husband and I are just wrecked. </div><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><div style="text-align: center;">But when I put on some nails, ahhh...I feel so much better. This length is really comfortable for me, and gives me a feeling a being pulled together.

Since the last time I posted, we've downsized everything we own to 2 relocubes, and relocated to Southern California! We're in the process of looking for a new home, and everything is taking most of my time now. I'm so sorry I've been absent for so long.<br />
<br />
I have been tweeting here and there though, and trying to make comments on others' tweets when I get the chance. So if you follow me on twitter I will do my best to follow you back.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, I finally got the chance to put on some nails. These are Kiss "Fashion Week."<br />

They come with a cuticle stick but I didn't find any glue. Now it might come with glue and I took it out when I bought this months ago. I'm just not sure. I used some glue I had on hand. It was really weird and gave me some trouble hardening. But it finally did "cure" and held the nails for a good 6 days.<br />

I really like the designs of these nails by GoldFinger. The quality is on par with Broadway/Kiss nails. The price is really reasonable.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">What do you think of these nails? Have you tried nails by GoldFinger? </div><br />

Now I have to figure out how to add these to all the other polishes I'm transporting in the car, for our long-distance move.<br />
<br />
Why do I do this to myself?!?<br />
<br />

Is there any interest in seeing what I'm using to transport all my polishes? Should I make another video of that?<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">The directions are pretty straight forward.

<div style="text-align: center;"></div><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">I was worried about these nails because of my two "problems:" Short nail beds, and flat nail beds.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">However, I really had nothing to worry about. These imPress nails are real short length, and they are flexible at the base. Instead of me having to fill up the gap of space between the arch of the artificial nail and my flat bed nail, these conform to my nails.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">The package says they last up to 7 days. We will see. I'm still in the middle of packing and living, ie: washing my hair, dishes, hands, etc. If they actually stay on for 7 days, these might be my newest nail obsession.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Have you tried these imPress nails yet? What are your thoughts? When they are removed, there is no damage to the natural because there is no glue. Does that make you more eager to try them? </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Let me know your thoughts in the comments...</div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><div style="text-align: center;">Thanks for taking the time to stop by!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

It's been awhile since I posted a blog post. I'm in the middle of packing to move. And even though I started out packing a little bit back in September, we're in the thick of it now, and I'm going crazy! When I get a break, I scroll through twitter. This is the first I've been on my computer in ages. I'm only on it to pay bills, and I thought I'd post something so you all won't forget me. I'm sorry I haven't been able to comment on blogs. But when I see one pop up on twitter, and I'm there, I try to retweet and make a comment. That's probably lame, but it's the best I can do for now. If you want to contact me, catch me on twitter.<br />
<br />
<br />
Back in the summer, I created this mani and decided to share it at Christmas-time. (Which is a good thing because I have no time to do any nails. And moving does tremendous damage to my cuticles right now!)<br />

(He-he, don't I wish!) Really liked the movie. Every time they showed the Bifrost Bridge, at least I think that's what it was, my husband would say: "That's a really cool bridge." And it is. Thor called it a sort of rainbow bridge. It was like a subtle prism with mid-range colors. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">So I had cool tones and icy things on the brain when I made this mani:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiM4p5WC8cRxQT3OHNjuaaNJf1CvIlNPvhhq4cNBj-pbj_tH4FFNQq_qxcwT6lQrrxHIIFctH11UKUWYJcnyo1rqEboL4nzARVOqIAhQ0wf5GdpD69Yo08UhpnhoTM0Ay16-WVAcfBUFaYB/s1600/TheClaw-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiM4p5WC8cRxQT3OHNjuaaNJf1CvIlNPvhhq4cNBj-pbj_tH4FFNQq_qxcwT6lQrrxHIIFctH11UKUWYJcnyo1rqEboL4nzARVOqIAhQ0wf5GdpD69Yo08UhpnhoTM0Ay16-WVAcfBUFaYB/s400/TheClaw-2.jpg" width="282" /></a></div><br />

I've wanted to try out Revlon's glue on nails ever since I saw them. However, their $9 (more or less) price point stopped me. But then CVS spit out a coupon for me during a BOGO 1/2 off sale, and I knew it was time to break open the piggy bank on these.<br />

<li>Vintage Velvet nail color</li>
<li>Medium Length</li>
<li>Glue, nail file, and cuticle pusher included</li>
<li>7-10 Day Wear </li>
</ul>REVIEW:<br />
After removing my cuticles, washing my hands, and rubbing each natural nail with nail polish remover to remove any soap or natural oils remaining:<br />
<br />
<ul><li>I sorted the nails according to size for each finger. Starting with my pinkie nail, I glued on the nails. For my thumbs, I trimmed the cuticle edge with scissors so they would lie more flush to my straight cuticle edge.</li>
<li>Theoretically these should be easier to glue on than french tip nails because the threat of seeing air bubbles is not there.</li>
<li>However, if you get glue on your fingers and then try to apply the nails, you'll get glue on the color and flub it up, like I did.</li>
<li>I used pink gel glue I have, not the glue that came with the nails. I feel most of these glues are the same anyway, and it's what I had nearest to me.</li>
<li>Not really necessary but I applied a clear top coat over the nails and free edges. </li>
<li>These are medium length. Compared to Kiss or Broadway nails though, I feel these are shorter than medium length. I have short nail beds, and Revlon fits me like Kiss' short length. If you have longer nail beds than I do, these may appear as short length on you. (<i>To Explain: Because my nail beds are short, standard press-on/glue-on nail sizes are longer on me. "Real Short Length" is a short length on me. "Short Length" is more of a medium length on me. "Medium Length" is actually long on me.</i>)</li>
<li>After 6 days wear: I can feel a little bit of lift on the cuticle edge of some my right hand nails, but none on my left. </li>
<li>The color is really dark and pretty. The surface stays shiny. </li>
<li>BONUS: These did not bleed like the Fingr's brand of color nails I tried. Those bled as I was gluing them on. Truly weird!</li>

The next morning after I applied the nails, we went to Sandia Peak. My husband's mother's ashes are up there, and he wanted to visit one more time before we moved. We were in Bear Country. There were warning signs all around. Not many people were around on that Thursday, and honestly, I was really scared. I'm a city girl.<br />
<br />
The cold really affected my hands and nails. I could feel pressure or a pull on my nails and they ached some. Maybe it was a combo of cold and almost 6,000 more feet above sea level I was experiencing. When I got home that night, one of the thumb nails was loose. I simply reglued it.<br />
<br />

There is some tip wear. </div><br />
I thought I would decorate them or paint them or do something to embellish them, but I never did. I really like them the way they are. <br />
<br />
Are these worth $9 a box? Possibly. I would buy these and wear them again.<br />

But it can definitely be used as a layering polish. <br />

I wouldn't call it silver because it has more dimension to me, than a silver polish. <br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">My husband brought home flowers too, </div><div style="text-align: center;">but it was the polishes that <i>really</i> cheered me up.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">What a great guy I've got!<br />
<br />
I am so excited about these polishes! I feel that each one was a home run for me. I don't normally love every polish in a box set but this Muppettes did it for me.<br />
<br />
What do you think of the new OPI Muppets Collection? Have you purchased any? Which is your favorite? What do you think of mini-sets? Do you buy them when available?<br />
If you're thinking of buying the min-set, I encourage you to do so. Even though the brush is tiny, the formula is smooth and goes on evenly. It also dries very fast.<br />
<br />
Let me know what you think in comments below...<br />

They have contests running for prizes. I have always loved making collages. This is just a fun way to do them in a virtual environment. No glue or scissors needed. Everything is available, just one click away.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;"><iframe allowtransparency="true" src="http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/browse.sets?.mid=embed-gridv-2963081&_out=embed&display=gridv&displayOptions=%7B%22withBy%22%3A0%7D&size=m&sort=-pop&src_action=browse.sets&uid=2963081" style="display: block;" frameborder="no" height="486" scrolling="no" width="486"></iframe></div><br />
The last one in the second row was my first attempt. I used a template for that one, and just dropped and dragged the items into the windows. All the other ones, I created using various backgrounds and items to create the collages.<br />
<br />
