Bubblegum Pink

Hey everyone! Today I have a beautiful pink swatch to show you.  I picked this up the other day because it was on sale and even though it's not very season friendly I couldn't wait to try it out.  Here is 2 coats of Sally Hansen I Pink I Can.  This was so creamy and easy to apply... I absolutely love it!

Snowflakes...

Hey everyone!  I worked on some snowflake manis that never made it on here last week so I thought I'd try again today.  I have to say I'm still not happy with it.  What's it going to take for me to get these snowflake manis down???
My base is 2 coats of China Glaze Grape Juice.

Happy Thursday <3

Husband's Pick

Hey everyone!  Awhile back when I was at Sally's I couldn't decide on one of the polish's so I let my husband pick something off the China Glaze rack.  His pick? Regge to Riches.  It is BEAUTIFUL and I must give him props for this one!  It's much more vibrant in real life and leans way more purple than pink as these pictures make it seem.



Happy Wednesday <3

Polish Addict Review - Pretty Little Glitters

Hey everyone!  Today I have the final polish from Polish Addict to show you.  This one is called Pretty Little Glitters - I don't watch Pretty Little Liars but maybe if you do you'll be a fan of this polish ;)
When I first applied this it immediately reminded me of a jawbreaker.  It's a shimmery milky white with lots of different colored glitters - I see green, fuchsia, blue, red and silver.  Application was good and it only took 2 coats to get it opaque. 



 This is the best picture I could capture to show you the shimmer that lies within the milk ;)
Laura is currently re-working the formula on this polish but Pretty Little Glitters will be available again on January 2, 2013.  So make sure to get yours then!
Happy Monday <3

Polish Addict Review - Jellyfish

Hey everyone!  Today I bring you another polish from Polish Addict.  This time its Jellyfish, one of my favorites by Laura! 
This has a pink/lavender milky base with so many different colored glitters!  There was nothing difficult about the application and NO fishing involved which makes me happy! 
Here she is with 2 coats...


 See all this amazing glitter? There's blue, gold and fuchsia of varying sizes. 
Jellyfish is currently on sale for $6 at Polish Addict.
Happy Sunday <3

Polish Addict Review - Dancing Plums

Hey everyone! Today I have an awesome polish to show you.  The lovely Laura of Polish Addict has been so kind to send me a few polishes to share with you all and the one I chose for today is Dancing Plums.
This is a maroon base filled with lots of shimmery goodness!  Application was a breeze and after 2 coats it was fully opaque.

 In this close-up you are able to see a bit of the micro holo glitter.
Dancing Plums is currently available at Polish Addict for only $5! Don't miss this sale!
Happy Saturday <3

December Ipsy Bag

Hey everyone! Today I have my December Ipsy bag to show you and once again I love what I got.  This months bag is a mauvey silver?  All I know is it's pretty and the inside is a bright pink.

Here are the contents of my Ipsy bag:
1)  Mirabella Prime - It says it's a primer for face and eyes I however, only used it on my face.  Initially it felt like it went on a little oily but my face didn't appear oily at all.  It's a good primer but not awesome enough to make me switch from my usual favorite. (the Porefessional by Benefit)
2) Be a Bombshell Lipgloss in Hot Mess - I LOVE this lipgoss! It's actually a bit more sheer than it looks.  I love the consistency and I feel like it's pretty long-wearing for a gloss.
3) Mai Couture Highlighter Papier - This was kind of cool to get as I've never tried highlighter sheets.  It's very pretty however I feel like there's a little too much shimmer in this for my face so I think I will use these for my shoulders/chest etc.
The sheets themselves appear pretty gold as you can see below.

 4) NYX Loose Pigment Eye Shadow in Pearl - the name says it all for this one PEARL.  I hate the packaging but the color is very pretty and wearable for everyone.

5) - Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-on Eye Pencil in Zero - I was so excited that I got an UD product in this month's bag but when I actually used it I can't say I really loved it.  The main problem was I felt like it just wouldn't stay put.  I don't usually wear black liner anyway but I'm willing to give this another try with a better eye primer.
Happy Thursday <3
