I'm a sucker for an awesome mani and bold polish but I refuse to pay upwards of $50 for treatments like Minx or CND Shellac.Last year I tried Sephora's DIY version of Minx, Chic Prints, and I loved them but they only lasted a few days. So I was super excited when I came across the Sally Hansen Salon Effects. I heard of them but could never find them in stores until I finally snagged one of the last boxes at Duane Reade for $10.The strips come in more than 20 designs {sparkles, leopard, denim, etc.} and are adhesives that fit over your nails. So say goodbye to drying time. Unlike similar products that require you to peel the sticker off of your nails, the Salon Effects come off with nail polish remover because it's actual polish! The kit contains 18 strips, cuticle stick, emery board and instructions.

I tried "Booty Camp," a pink camouflage print.

Last week I showed you the head-to-toe thrifted outfit I wore for a taping of the Oprah show but I went for a more casual look for my last day on the west coast. We wanted to soak up as much sun as possible so we spent the day chowing down {In-N-Out, Lala's, Porto's Bakery} thrift shopping and of course we had to head to Santa Monica. I knew we'd be out all day so I went for a look that could easily transform from casual to a bit more dressy with a quick shoe change.

{of course I had a pair of flats in my oversized bag}
