Summertime Skittle

Hey dolls!  I hope everyone had a great holiday weekend.  I enjoyed mine very much.  Time spent with loved ones is always a good time.  I even did some nail art for the weekend.  Instead of doing a red, white and blue Independence Day themed design,  I did a summer skittle.

Here's a list of the polishes I used for this manicure:

Essie Bikini So Teeny

Revlon Spirit

Wet n Wild Candy-licious

Sephora by OPI It's Totally Karma

Revlon Black Magic

L.A. Girl Extra Extra

It's been a while since I've done my nails like this.  Would it be weird to say my nails put me in a good mood? No?  Okay, it did.  Don't judge.  I'm actually inspired to start doing my nails regularly.   Or it could be the new nail treatment I'm using, Nail Tek Strengthener.   My nails have been weak and peeling for months.  I can't get them to grow long and stay long.  Do any of you have this problem?  If so, what did you use or are using to combat it?   I hope this one works because Nail Envy failed me.  I'll keep you posted.

Thanks For Stopping By! 

Graffiti Nail Art

HI!!!! I know, it's been AGES.  Sorry about the hiatus. Micah got sick then I got sick and it just threw off my mojo.  I'm getting it back, little by little :).  My birthday was 2 weeks ago and I couldn't celebrate without doing my nails.  That would've been just blasphemous.

I wanted something bright and fun to help me out of my little funk. These definitely did the trick.  I wuv how these came out.  Super easy to do and now I want ALL of the Formula X for Sephora glitters.  Just look at TNT! Ugh so gorge-balls.

To get this look I randomly sponged Revlon Black Magic over my Revlon Spirit.  Followed by one healthy coat each of Formula X TNT and Mind Blowing.  For an extra pop of color I used neon pink square studs I got from Born Pretty.

I just want to apologize again for vanishing.  Winter does things to me lol. I hibernate and it's inexcusable haha. I'll see you next week with a St. Patricks Day post.

Thanks for stopping by!

New Year's Eve Complete Look

Salutations beautiful, hope everyone had a wonderful holiday. Mine was perfect, I got everything I wanted, great times with family and Micah was the happiest little monster, with all his new toys.  I actually can't believe it's over and we're headed towards the new year, and the biggest party night of the year.

For my last post of 2013, I put together another completed look for you guys.  New Year's Eve makeup, nails and a Polyvore set.  New Year's Eve is all about glitter and bling.  I believe I brought the sparkle lol. Let's just jump right into it, shall we? First up, the makeup...

Ermagerd, I'm soooo happy with the way these came out. The gold is much more intense IRL. I wish you could see it.  To get this eye look I used Stila Eyeshadow trio Gold Glow and Make up Forever Diamond Shadow Diamond Black.  Here's how I used them:

I hope that photo was helpful.  Now you can try this out for yourself if you'd like. This look is so versatile you can pretty much wear any lip color.  You can go bold like I did with purple.  This is Revlon Matte Balm in Shameless...

Or you can wear a classic red, pink or nude lip.  If you're real adventurous even gold, it's New Year's Eve go cray cray lol.

Here's a list of the other products I used.

Now the nails....

Nothing fancy, just gold glitter polish and rhinestones.  I wanted to use loose gold glitter but my Born Pretty Store order wants to take 2 months to get to me :(.  China Glaze Angel Wings is definitely a gorgeous substitute.  The rhinestones are from Born Pretty Store.

To bring it all together, a New Year's Eve party outfit inspiration. 

This post may suggest otherwise but I actually plan on staying home and ringing in the New Year with my boys.  I live in NYC but I've only gone to a New Year's Eve party ONCE, and I don't ever plan on doing it again lol. 

What are your New Year's Eve Plans?

Thanks For Stopping By!   Happy New Year, See ya in 2014
