NOTD!


Nail Of The Day!!

This is one of my favorite neon colors from China Glaze.  This is Turned Up Turquoise.  It is a very pretty and bold turquoise color.  This is two coats, and one coat of Seche Vite topcoat.  Neon polishes dry very matte, so you really cannot skip a topcoat!  I mostly wear this color on my toes, but I just decided to wear it on my nails this time.  It is definitely making me happy on this gloomy day today!

My Hair Journey!!

So in my last Youtube video, I showed off my new hair color.  I am notorious for undergoing major hair transformations, and I thought it would be fun to have a blog post where I show photos of different styles, and colors that I've done through the years.  For the sake of time, and space, I will only be posting some of the more drastic hairdos that I've done.  Given everything that I have put my poor hair through, I'm grateful to still have some! :)  Enjoy, and please learn from my mistakes, all this craziness is not so good for your hair, and it takes a long time for your hair to fully recover from too much processing!

This is the current color and cut that I have now.

MAC Haul With Swatches!

Hello!!

So I have a small, but exciting MAC haul to share today.  I purchased one lipstick, and two eye shadows!  Overall, I love MAC, but it is rather difficult to get it where I live.  So when I do make it to a MAC, it makes me absolutely giddy! :)



I got the Viva Glam Nicki lipstick, and this color is just divine!  You can wear it sheered-out, or at full color.  The formula of course, is amazing.  One piece of advice is to make sure that your lips are nicely exfoliated and moisturized ahead of time.  When you wear this color, dry and chapped lips are intensified!  I used my Bliss Fabulips Sugar Scrub this morning, and made sure that my lips were prepped to wear this fun color today!

This is the color at full intensity with a clear gloss topping it off.

This is the color sheered-out and topped with Bare Minerals 7 Layer Cake gloss.

This is the color at a distance, it is sheered-out here as well.

Now, for my eye shadow choices, I wanted to get two colors that will compliment each other, but can also be versatile and work well with other shades too.  I had a specific look in mind when I got these two, and of course, I will film a tutorial for my desired look!  

I got Tilt, which is a frost that I would describe as a green/blue iridescent shade.  MAC classifies Tilt as a "violet with blue-green pearl."  I also got Copperplate, which is a matte that I would describe as either a grey, or cool brown shade.  Depending on what colors you pair it with, you could use this shadow with a wide variety of color combinations!  MAC describes Copperplate as a "muted mid-tone grey."  The swatches below show both colors with a base of Too Faced Shadow Insurance (top row), and just straight onto my skin (bottom row.)




Hope you all have a fantastic day! :)


Nail Of The Day!

Hey hey!  So for my first blog post, I wanted to do a NOTD!  I love looking at these because I am always interested in seeing what people are wearing on their nails!  


I am wearing Revlon's Top Speed polish in 120 Cupid.  I used two coats, and I must say, this color is amazing!!  I also have an accent nail to add a bit of pop.  I painted the accent nail with one coat of the Cupid first, then I did two coats of Hard Candy polish in 323 Fabuluxe.  I love this combo, it is definitely a look that I tend to keep going back to!
