I've ordered 4 pairs of those shorts already & may order more. I agree that the length is a big selling point. BTW, which jeans shorts have you bought & kept?
the denim version of those.
have you tried them on yet?

toes last a lot longer than fingers. the longest i've gotten out of polish on my hands was maybe a little longer than a week, but that's a stretch. usually about a week for good polishes and a few days for bad ones. on toes they never chip - they just grow out.

it's weird bc some polishes used to peel/chip really fast on me but they don't anymore. i think it may have been more to do with my nails than the products themselves.
i wonder why it last longer on the feet. it's so weird. i guess you use your hands more but you'd think walking would make it wear off.

Quote from GoHeels :
I remember us discussing nail polish before, but I don't remember which thread it was in. Anyone mind sharing their favorite base coat, polish, & top coat combo? I used Essie protein base coat, Zoya polish, & Essie to dry for top coat twice recently. Both times my nails didn't make it through the day chip free. By the next day, I had to remove it. Most of the nails were chipping. Annoyed Obviously, the products I'm using aren't right for my nails or the combo doesn't work together.
...
currently i use orly bonder base and seche vite top coat. i've been using that for quite some time now. i use it with all my polishes, which are a mix of zoya, essie, opi, deborah lippmann, and others... with my base/top i find zoya stays the best, DL 2nd. zoya will last over a week for me if my nails are short. (if they're longer there's usually more environmental factors that cause them to chip)

using SV wrong was what was causing my peeling before, i think. it's not good to wait too long in between base coat and polish, i think. now i just try to do everything in 5-10 minute increments. that means i'm usually doing my nails while i'm watching tv shows kuz otherwise i don't have 30-40 minutes to just sit there. i love SV bc after i apply it, in 5-10 min it's pretty dry. if you wait till your polish is already dry to apply SV i think it has more of a likelihood of peeling.

i think most base coats are the same tho. i like SV bc i'm not good at being careful with my nails and it's the fastest drying one. it does cause tip wear faster, but that's something i can live with.

i don't wash my feet nearly as much as i wash my hands. Smilie i think the constant hand-washing is what wears np the most.

that's a good theory. my feet only get washed 2 times a day.

just read my ebay newsletter and it says starting april 16 the free 50 listings a month includes fixed price! Woot i hope i'm not reading this wrong. fixed price is so much easier to manage - i might list stuff again!

love this dress [express.com]. it's super hot!



i'd order. it was almost sold out in-store when i saw it (only larger sizes). only 9 left in the 0 online. this is a must have ladies. i wish the pics did it justice because it's hotter than they show.

it's really hard to tell from your photos but that's the dress i suspected would be really nice. it's pricey tho... does it fit like the ponte knit sheath dress [express.com], size-wise?

nod it is! i realize i have 2 brown belts like that (1 from express) and no black ones. Facepalm apparently i'm really into that cognac/brown color.

and thanks! that sweater is gawd-awful without belting it. it's funny bc i bought it from the night market in taiwan (dirt-cheap) and when i first tried it on, i was :sad: bc it looked so awful. then DH (dbf at the time) suggested that i put a belt on it. i tried it and voila! it was great. who knew DH had so much style?!

it fits about the same. a little more forgiving because of the ruched front. it is very nice. it's hot and there is a reason it was sold out almost in the store! it's just hard to take a pic of the detailing.

my store is always sold out of everything.

wish i had seen it in my store to try on. i still have my eye on the cap sleeve one with the lace sides. i prob should have ordered this one when i still had a 40 off 120 left. oh well.

i'm really hating this lack of codes!!!
