In the Spirit of St. Patricks Day

Check out this beauty China Glaze Four Leaf Clover. I'm feeling luckier already! 

China Glaze//Four Leaf Clover

I had no idea I had this polish, I found it while looking for something else. WIN!! I love finding polishes that I didn't know I had. (I suppose now I can remove it from my Head2toebeauty.com shopping cart ha ha) This color is so very pretty..light green creme. *Swoon*

I love this color with my skin tone. This is two coats, and it applied like a dream! China Glaze  makes my favorite creme polishes, I am in love with their formula.

Added some polka dots with Bundle Monster plate BM19. I used China Glaze Adore for the pattern.

Oh nail stamping..How I have missed you. ha ha. It has been a while since I stamped..I used to do it almost everyday..I am going to pick it up again...I still have plates in the packaging. UNACCEPTABLE!  I will do more Konad Designs and show all of you pretty ladies! Also..I am considering cutting my nails down, not filing..CUTTING. I am kind of nervous but I have been seeing lots of shorter nails and been jealous of the short chic look. What do you guys think? Should I keep em long or cut em down? I know they will grow back but I am still nervous! EEEEEP!
Thanks for reading!

POLISHGASM!!! China Glaze Tronica Collection!!

Excuse the craptastic Cell phone pic :)

I went in to Sally's Beauty Supply to try and find the China Glaze Crackle polishes but I almost passed out when I saw the girl refilling the Tronica Display. I actually kind of rushed the poor girl and got in her personal space a bit but I was so excited. I made sure they were all there and I actually got the last of them. I was so excited to finally get them. They were 5 dollars each with my Sally's Card.

My Beautiful new Holographic Babies... (all pictures are clickable so you can see them up close!)

O.P.I Black Shatter Review!

Hey loves! Here is yet another manicure floating around on the interwebs featuring O.P.I Black Shatter...hahaha. I am sure most of you have seen or used this polish or something similar but here is my take on it!

Two coats of Not Like The Movies..a pretty silvery..green..purple duo chrome. This polish changes colors depending on the lighting and angles. It's really pretty, it reminds of dolphin skin..ha ha I know that sounds weird but it does...and I am pretty weird so what ever. :)

One coat of the Black Shatter from O.P.I  on my completely dry manicure. It is so cool to watch the shatter take effect I watched almost every nail..ha ha. I was fascinated. It happens almost instantly and dries quickly too! I have seen where people have left it just like this with the Matte Shatter effect..But I wanted to seal everything in and make it SHINE!

I added TWO coats of Seche Vite top coat because I like my nails to feel smooth and 1 coat wasn't cutting it..I could still feel the texture of the Shatter polish. The top coat makes everything pretty and complete. I can't stop looking at my nails ha ha.

I will admit that I have said in the past I wasn't a fan of  the crackle or shatter look but I completely take it back! I had never done it on my nails until this post and I am a fan. I think it looks really cool. I will try it with other bases but I am pretty sure I will prefer it with a base that changes colors. This with a Holographic!! OH MY! I am sure it looks amazing! Hmmmmm..Now I am thinking of which Holo I want to try it with. ha ha. What are your thoughts on this effect? What combinations do you think would work? I am pretty sure I will be picking up the China Glaze Crackle polishes in all of the colors. Thanks for reading!

Fun Green and Glittery EOTD!

Hey Beauties! The other day I was playing with some of my new makeup and I came up with this bright look. I love Green..it makes my brown yes pop! I used up all of my Urban decay Acid rain eye shadow which was my main green shadow. It was my go to shadow I LURRRVED it.  I had to find a new go to green...so I went for and OCC loose shadow in Wasabi and was very pleased!

Products used
Too faced Shadow Insurance Primer
Makeup Forever Aqua Black (base)
Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Wasabi Loose Colour shadow LOVE THIS!!
Urban Decay Blunt Eye Shadow...One of my favorite shadows to blend with and use as highlight
NYX Eye/Eyebrow Pencil on my water line and below w/ tokioki Adios to set
Sephora Teal Glitter eyeliner over the eye pencil

Definitely could have used some false lashes since mine are wretched ha ha.

I wanted to get a close up of that teal liner...it's so pretty. And Unlike my previous experienced with the Sephora gold glitter liner this one didn't burn like hot Lava!! yay! either they changed the formula, I got used to it, or its only the gold that stings, either way I was stoked to not have to suffer for pretty glittery eyes! I hope you like..thanks for reading and I hope you all had a great weekend!

Ahoy Mateys!

Hey Pretty People! I recently got some new babies and included was the China Glaze Anchors Away Collection. I couldn't wait to try First Mate. I am sure by now you guys know that I love my cremes ha ha, First Mate is a pretty nautical Blue Creme. I swooned...not gonna lie.

China Glaze First Mate

China Glaze Cherish for the Design which was from Konad plate number S6

I love this design...Nice clean lines! 

Check out this rad Cobra ring I got from Charming Charlie. I fell in love with this store located in Scottsdale Fashion Square. It is mostly purses and other accesories and its COLOR COORDINATED!! I just about fell out in the store. I also got a sweet purse. I think I am going to do a whole post on my next trip! I will be going back soon for a cute turtle ring and a purse I was debating on.

Thanks for reading! HAPPY FRIDAY!!

One time I went to Sephora and lost my mind...(Pic Heavy post)

Hello ladies...Like a lot of you clearly know I am addicted to makeup and the other day I basically lost my damn mind in Sephora..check it out!

Sephora Glitter Eyeliner. I love this eyeliner because it is so beautiful and inexpensive compared to others..but the Gold one I have burns so bad! Thank goodness it's just during the application for me...that's why I purchased 3 more..ha ha. Beauty is pain I guess.

Trying the Too Faced Eyeshadow Primer...and picked up some of my FAVORITE Mascara..It makes my pathetic lashes look amazing! It smells really good too!

I might not necessarily NEED a Lip Plumper but I just love the tingle that this one has. It does give my lips a bit of a boost in the pout department also ;)

Illasmasqua Nail Varnish in Baptiste..I can never have too many purple polishes and I have had my eyes on this beauty for a while. I have seen it in the blogasphere and I decided to splurge.

Another splurge was Illamasqua Liquid Metal eye cream eyeshadow. I saw this and was like WHAT IN THE EFF!! I need this in my life. It is soo Pigmented and lovely. 

UD Lipstick//Buzzkill and Liquid Liner in Perversion

The detail on the lipstick bullet is cool

I can't wait to try the lipstick!

I decided to give the new UD shadow pencils a shot..this purple is magnificent! 

UD Shadow Pencil in Delinquent 

My first NARS items...I have to say I love the packaging. 

NARS Night Clubbing Eye Shadow// NARS Orgasm Blush//NARS Orgasm Lip Gloss. What can I say Drake got to me ;)

Preeeeettty!

Peachy shimmer

NARS Blush//Deep Throat. (hehe)

LOVE this Urban Decay cream highlight in Sin. Not greasy or heavy...it goes on very light and is super beautiful. I have been putting it on my brow bone. I am a sucker for skulls also so the packaging is also a HUGE thumbs up! Super rad!

It's so pretty. I have the Sin Primer potion and I use it constantly. There are tons of places to use this highlight, eyes, cheeks I'd even use some on my lips! There was another one I had my eye on too...Brown Sugar it was Beautiful!

EMILIO PUCCI Aqua 330 

I got this as one of my 3 free samples during the summer and I loved it so much I had to get the big one. I made that little sample last along time ha ha.  It's a very fresh and clean scent. I get complimented on it whenever I wear it. These are the notes listed on the Sephora Website: Violet Leaf, Bitter Orange, Pink Berry, Aquatic Accord, Egyption Jasmine, Frangipani Flower, Musk, Tonka Bean, Moss. This fragrance is definitely worth a sniff! 

Thanks for checking out my Sephora Haul loves!! I can't wait to try the new stuff! Anything you would like to try? Or HAVE tried..what do ya think?
