Zoya Charla & Zoya Raven
I thought about going with plain black this week but decided to see what it would look like with Charla over it. I have to say, I'm in love :)

Sobe LifeWater - Flavor With Benefits
To start off, I'm not a fan of sports drinks. They taste salty and if I wanted that I'd put salt in my kool aid. I don't like tap water because (ironically enough) it never seems to quench my thirst. So I usually stick with flavored waters. I've tried a few different kinds but was still a little meh about them.
Recently BzzAgent launched a Sobe LifeWater campaign and I decided to give it a go. I received a free bottle of the product, a coupon for another free bottle and some coupons to share.
I wasn't sure how I would feel about them because I've heard quite a few people say that coconut water was nasty but I was surprised. I received the Pomegranate Nectarine flavor and I really enjoy it. Tonight at the grocery store I tried Mango Mandarin and it tastes just as good.
Sobe LifeWater has 80 calories per 20oz bottle. It's flavor isn't overpowering or too weak. It seems they have managed to get just the right amount.
The Pomegranate Nectarine is still my favorite. So far I've seen three flavors. Pomegranate Nectarine, Mango Mandarin and Pacific Coconut. I'm not a fan of coconut flavorings so I skipped on that one. Tonight, I picked up 5 bottles. I like to cut myself off from caffeine at night and this is perfect.
Have you tried Sobe LifeWater? Are you a fan of the Sobe line of drinks?

Mani of the Day
In case you can't tell, I'm in love with the Kiss Nail Dress. Here are some pictures of Camisole on my nails. I absolutely love this design. I'm going to have to buy more.
Two pics with flash, one without. I don't know if you can see the glitter because it's fairly subtle but it's adorable.

Black Mani Update
I decide to show an example of one of the Kiss Nail Dress designs. I added an accent nail to my regular black mani. This design is actually a zebra print but the stripes that would usually be white are clear, so all you see over the black is the design.
Now this time, it didn't last as long as usual. I'm thinking it's because I used it over nail polish and that changed how it adhered. So if you're going to attempt this, I'd just do it for maybe a night out and count on it coming loose after a day or so.
Next up, glittery zebra print :)
(I bought these on my own [and for only $3 at that!] and am not compensated for posts.)

Kiss Goodies
As an Influenster I recently got to participate in the Valentine's Day LoveVoxBox. One of the items sent to me was from Kiss Products.
I have a recent post showing the style I got and completely fawning over how pretty they are and how easy to apply. By earning the Kiss badge I got some freebies sent to me. They came in the mail today.
I've been using the Kiss Nail Dress ever since the LoveVoxBox so I thought I already had the design they sent me but lucky me, it's one I've never tried!
I also received some Kiss Nail Artist Metallics. It's basically cute stud nail art. Without the mess. I haven't used them yet but I can't wait.
As for the Nail Dress, well I'm sure it will be on my nails within a couple of days :) I received Nail Dress design Camisole which is a zebra print with glitter accents. Everything you need for application is right inside of the box.
I'm pretty excited to try my new goodies out and see how they look!

Plain Black Mani
It's been a while since I've posted. No motivation is a killer. This is just a plain black mani I did yesterday. It fits my mood this week. I used Sinful Colors. In the picture I'm holding one of my favorite perfumes, Lucky.
I just got some Kiss Products in the mail I won from a contest so I may add some rhinestones or a little flair if my mood picks up.
I paid for everything in this post. If you want to check out Kiss Nail Products go to www.kissusa.com.

Kiss Nail Dress
I recently was lucky enough to be included in Influenster's (www.influenster.com) Valentine's Day Love Vox Box program. Included were some yummy products and some products to get you date ready. One of them was a nail product made by Kiss called Nail Dress.
Originally, I had passed these over in stores assuming they would be just like fake nails. I've always had trouble with fake nails. They either pop off or I can't get them to come off without tearing up my nails. It sounds a little strange, stickers for your nails. Who would expect them to be anything other than a novelty? Well, I've been converted!
I received the leopard print nail dress to try out and I LOVE them. They're easy to apply. You just determine which nail dress fits each individual nail, peel them off the clear back, place them onto your nail and smooth down from the center. If you have excess hanging over the free edge of your nail, fold it over and use the included file to file it off. Voila! You're done. No dry time, no mess and no fumes. The product does have a slight vinyl smell to it but it's nowhere near the smell you get from traditional nail polishes. No worrying about getting your cuticles messy, no need for cleaning up around your nails afterwards. As soon as you get all of your nails covered you're ready to go.
My first application last me three days. They would have stayed on longer but my tips were getting a little faded looking to me and I decided to go ahead and change them. Mind you, I have a three year old so that means it survived many, many hand washings and bath time. I can't wait to get to the store and snag some of the other designs. There's a pink zebra print with rhinestones that is just screaming my name!
The product:
A little bit of info straight from Kiss themselves:
Fashion That Sticks
Introducing Kiss Nail Dress, ultimate nail fashion for tips and toes! Just peel, apply, and shape for a manicure that lasts up to 10 days. On in minutes, off in seconds without remover. Nail Dress is available in 18 different styles, many of them featuring 3-dimensional jeweled designs. Check out Peplum, a deep black with multi-colored gems for a pop of color, or Babydoll, for a golden and glamorous jeweled look. Skip the topcoat, Nail Dress has it built in.
With 28 strips in each package, you can cut up your extras to create designs that can be used on top of polished or artificial nails. Nail Dress doesn’t dry out the way other polish strips can, so you can save them to use on your next DIY mani. A nail design booklet is included in each package, just in case you need a little inspiration.
And don’t forget about your feet! Nail Dress looks awesome on toes, too – just use the square side of the sticker for a perfect fit.
Where to Buy
Nail Dress’ suggested retail is $6.99 and is available in all major drug chains and mass retailers like WalMart, CVS and Walgreens.
