duri Systems

 It's hard to believe that I started this blog 4,271 days ago. That's almost 12 years! I do believe I'm one of the longest (semi) active nail blogs left in the United States. One of my favorites from the beginning was duri. I used their Rejuvacote Nail Growth System for years - sometimes as just a base coat, sometimes as the full nail growth system. Much has changed in twelve years and duri has expanded their line quite a bit!

I'm almost done with the Gone West Fall 2019 China Glaze collection! Nail polish has been a huge hobby of mine for years and sometimes I feel like I've seen them all. This is Campfired Up!, a red creme that is super opaque.

My kids start school Wednesday and they are not in a year round school. While I don't feel like it's fall at all, I wanted to finish off the Gone West Fall 2019 China Glaze collection. This is Lawless & Flawless, a pink sheer with gold and copper shimmer.

My skin has taken a beating this past year between wearing masks, different diet, and of course, being sick. When Love, Indus reached out to try their Amrutini Precious Potion Vital Cream, I was excited to see how it would work for me. The founder, Surbhee Grover incorporated her rich Indian heritage with the energy of her newfound New York home.

Nothing To Disclose

Hello dear friends! I took a nice long break for my health (still battling long-hauler COVID-19 issues) and then a long vacation to see my husband's family in Maine. While I was up there, I had toyed with the idea of getting my nails done but I had broken one on the plane and was just in a funk over color, shape and design.
