Product Review: Nail Art Pen

New nail-painting techniques are constantly emerging and I'm first to admit that often I am skeptical -- do they REALLY work?? When I saw the Sally Hansen Nail Art Pens at my local CVS I was of course intrigued. I instantly began daydreaming about all the funky fresh designs I could draw on my nails; the possibilities seemed endless! So I chose the periwinkle shade and popped it into my shopping cart. 



I am so glad I made this purchase! This nail pen works so well. The color comes out evenly and allows the user to make some pretty intricate designs, especially if you've got a steady hand! 


Above are my designs, and although they are somewhat simple, they definitely add a unique touch to my manicure. 

Would you ever purchase this Nail Art Pen?

Back Back to CT CT


This Friday I'll be making the trek back to good ol' Connecticut and I can hardly contain my excitement! Newtown is the quintessential New England town and despite the fact that during my adolescent years I couldn't wait to escape to college, I've now come to miss it when I'm away for too long. Corey and I have compiled a list of activities for our glorious month-long reunion and “it’s making my head spin how many activities we can do”!! (Name that movie). Besides a ton of QT with family and friends, here are some favorite things that I can't wait to do:
  • Go tubing on the Farmington River
  • Shop antique stores and flee markets
  • Get ice cream at Ferris Acres Creamery
  • Make a trip into New York City
  • Eat sushi at Toro 
  • Have craft time
  • Spend time at Mang Lake (otherwise known to most people as Lake Lillinonah)
  • Lay poolside with friends
  • Pick fruit at a fruit farm and bake a delicious something
What activities do you most look forward to when you go home?
