Glitter Gel Nails

Glitter Gel Nails. Whee.
Doesn’t everyone need twinkling tootsies?
Just a thought.

Jamey applying pink glitte - not buffed or coated yet!

I get mine with Jamey Mason of “So Fabulous” 727.639.9536 (AND SHE IS).

First stage of fluorescent yellow being applied by Jamey

Admittedly, the wild yellow green got a bit tiresome (and a bit closer to Halloween-ish than I’d have preferred) over the two month Japan siege, but the Barbie Pink may be here to stay. So, Kawaii desu ne.

That said, I thought the jelly bean effect (each toe a different colour) could have been interesting…..okay, maybe that verges on toe sock territory. Have to give that up at twelve.

Anyway—I can attest that these laser coatings last –AT LEAST eight weeks (and with the fluorescent green I was trying to file it off with anything I could get my hands on as it did not budge against the polish remover). The thought of chiseling did cross my mind.

Ah, my testimonial. Shine on girlfriends.

Versace Knit CHEMICAL BLUE dress

yumyum's Versace chemical blue dress

Stuff that Va-va-voom into Donatella’s vision of Fall’s fare in a striking blue that verges on neon.

Check out eLuxury for the matching coat, but beware that the fabric composition is a blend quite different from that of the dress (YYC purchased ours at Neiman Marcus–Thank you, Neil).

It runs true to size and is simple enough to highlight your…..ummmmmm…..jewelry? Embellish away.

Check out Brownsfashion.co.uk for more Versace (this was, however, not included in their fare). We loved the fuchsia dress with self belt. Very Emma Peel.

MBT sneakers: Masai Barefoot Technology

MBT sneaker with fluorescent green accents

Okay, I bought them. I actually shelled out my $250 for a pair of grey (the same ‘height’ also comes in white and black) last year at the Bliss Spa - W/Westwood. That was before I learned that these were de rigueur for the ‘would-be workout set.’ I broke down and bought another pair. Easier to run in than your average Louboutin Pigalles.

I don’t generally lope around in sneakers, but these babies are comfortable and I’ve noticed that while my butt is not more firm, my posture seems better. At least something isn’t drooping.

That said, I have never seen one Masai wearing them. It must be a secret tribe.
