Every corner of Charleston is picture perfect, but this spot was one of my favorites from this trip 😍

The temperatures were dropping this weekend so @breakfastatetiffany @simplybysimone and I headed up to Foxwoods for a Winter Girls Getaway to escape the cold ❄️

When we visited last Summer we kept saying we COULDN’T WAIT to come back in the Winter because everything you need for the perfect girls weekend - restaurants, bars, fun activities, THE SPA - are all under one roof and you don’t need to step foot outside! So we packed up and headed to Connecticut for the first cold weekend of 2023 and it didn’t disappoint!

My perfect favorites from the weekend were…
🧖🏼‍♀️Massages at @gspaatfoxwoods
🏮Dinner at @redlanternct
⛸️Ice Skating at the Winter Terrace

…but everything we did was so much fun and as always I can’t wait to go back! PS if you’re looking to book a trip NOW is the time! Book your hotel stay by March 10th to receive 20% off deluxe hotel room stays now through April 30 OR 30% off between May 1 and July 31!!

Step-by-Step Tropical Long Wear Manicure with CND™ VINYLUX™

Step-by-Step Long Wear Tropical Manicure with CND™ VINYLUX™

Full Disclosure…I love the look and durability of a gel manicure, but I hate the process of taking gel polish off AND I like being able to change my polish and nail art every week so I rarely get them. So when CND™ VINYLUX™ asked me to try out their long wear polishes I jumped at the chance…flawless gel finish and easy removal…sign me up!

The system consists of an all-in-one base and color polish (no separate base coat needed) and a top coat. And this tropical long wear manicure only took about 20 minutes following these 3 easy steps!

Step 1: Apply two thin coats of the all-in-one base and color CND™ VINYLUX™ Long Wear Polish in Shells in the Sand and let dry.
Step 2: Take a striping brush and carefully draw a triangle from the tip to the middle of your nail with CND™ VINYLUX™ in Butterfly Queen.
Step 3: Finish with one coat of CND™ VINYLUX™ Long Wear Top Coat for a gel-like finish. (Allow 8.5 minutes for fully dry nails).

One of my biggest pet peeves when it comes to nail polish is when it’s thick and doesn’t apply smoothly, but I’m happy to report that these are thin and smooth and apply so nice! The polish brush also hugs your nail perfectly allowing for flawless coverage. I also long that these long-wear polish is infused with Vitamin E, Keratin and Jojoba Oil!

Scroll down for the step-by-step photos for this tropical long wear manicure and be on the look out for CND™ VINYLUX™ Long Wear Polishes NEW to Rite Aid stores!
