Clinique Purple Lip & Nail Set - Nordstrom (Plus Clinique Bonus Gift!)

I received an email from Nordstrom that featured this free bonus gift with a $32 Clinique purchase, a Tracy Reese cosmetic bag with 7 Clinique products. Since I'm running low on skin toner (or "Clarifying Lotion" according to Clinique), I decided to take advantage of this well-timed offer and purchase the largest size, which coincidentally only costs $29. So I need to purchase something else by Clinique to get the bonus gift...of course!

Offer valid May 20, 2014 - June 8, 2014

After perusing all of the Clinique products at Nordstrom.com, I decided to get this Clinique Purple Lip & Nail Set which includes a full-size Chubby Stick Intense Moisturizing Lip Color Balm in "Grandest Grape" plus A Different Nail Enamel for Sensitive Skin in "Hot Date" for $19.50. I have a similar product in the Tarte line, the LipSurgence lip tint in "Moody" so I thought I would give the Clinique version a try...plus I love purple!

Isola Alary II White Patent Leather Sandals - Nordstrom Rack

Believe it or not, my closet has a void in the white shoes department. Yes, you heard right. I don't have any white sandals, flats, slippers, heels...and it's almost Memorial Day! So I went to my local Nordstrom Rack to see if I could rectify this situation and lucky me, I found this cute pair of Isola Alary II flats in white patent leather. The gold against the white really goes well with my OPI Jade is the New Black nail polish!

OPI Jade Is The New Black Nail Polish

When I go to yoga class, my Starbucks cup always comes with me...filled with water, of course! Maybe the Starbucks green has been giving me subliminal messages, maybe not. All I know is that when it came time to select a color to paint my nails, I was somehow drawn to this color that I've had for several months but never used until now: OPI Jade Is The New Black. Love it!

Sally Hansen Cinna-snap 340 Nail Polish

I notice that I've started this fun tradition of buying matching nail polish whenever I get a new bag or bracelet, so I went shopping today for something to match my new-to-me Hermes Bolide 31 in classic Rouge H. First stop was ULTA...nothing. Second, Wal-Mart...and I found this perfect match, albeit a brand that I've never tried before - Sally Hansen Cinna-snap 340.

Nail Polish Wall Rack from Amazon

I just received this new Nail Polish Wall Rack from Amazon last week, which has 6 rows of shelves and holds up to 100 bottles of nail polish. Although I currently own less than 50 bottles of nail polish, I am planning ahead. At the rate I've been buying nail polish lately, I should have no problem doubling my collection and filling my nail polish rack by the end of 2014. I used to be mostly a pink, red and purple girl, but now I'm really starting to love blue, green and even orange polish colors!

Here's a close-up photo showing the bottom 3 shelves I've managed to fill so far:

Maybelline Color Show Frozen Ice Nail Polish

My new Hermès Clic Clac H bracelet in lagon (lagoon) has asked me to paint my nails to match, so last night I went to ULTA but did not have any luck finding anything. Next stop was Super Walmart (thank goodness it is open 24 hours) and I found a nail polish that is an excellent match: Frozen Ice by Maybelline Color Show.

Frozen Ice has a slight holographic-like characteristic with specks of gold glitter. Here's how it looks with my demanding little Clic Clac H...and I absolutely LOVE the color!
