Nails of the Night


Nails of the Night 




Base Coat: OPI Natural Nail Base Coast (dries so fast!) 
Color: 2 Coats of Nails Inc London in Victoria 
Glitter: Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in 120 Golden Rule
Top Coat: Sally Hanse Mega Shine 

So I don't know if it's just me or I feel like the OX blood color trend just came and went and now I'm kinda missing it. I had received this ox blood color in a glossy box a while ago and it's been sitting on my nail polish rack for a while now and I thought tonight was the perfect night to give it a go. 

At first application I noticed the formula of the Nails Inc to be VERY watery and difficult to work with. I also noticed one little hair of the blush was not wanting to go with the other hairs which in the end annoyed me and I had to cut it off. Why to brushes do that? 
What you are seeing in the picture is two coasts and to be honest with you I'm not loving it. I felt like it didn't go on as even as say an opaque Essie Polish would. 

Since I was disappointed with the color I felt like I had to add some glitter to make it up for it. 
I've always loved Sally Hansen products so I choose a nice gold to complement the red. 

I feel the top coat would probably look a lot more shinier on a different color.  I haven't used this one in a while so we shall see how long it lasts. 

Final Thoughts?
  • Nice Color but horrible formula 
  • Will probably just take it off in a day or two 
  • I wish my nails grew as fast as my hair did

THINGS ARE CRAZY

Hi everyone.
So I wanted to come on here quick and say that I am back blogging.
Things have been beyond hectic for me between graduating and stuff going on from work with the holidays and then my birthday then my moms birthday YIKES! It was just one thing right after another. As I am trying very hard to get my name out there in YouTube Land as a part of the beauty community I may have fallen off the ban wagon of writing my beauty blogs.


So if anyone is reading this I hope you guys stay tuned...

Nails of the Night

Pink Black Glitter!


I cannot take credit for this manicure because I was inspired my beauty guru/beauty blogger missjenfabulous. She always has the best manicures that I just love recreating. So if you like nail art as much as I do I would deff check her out!

MissJenFabulous Blog: http://polishandpearls.com/

Anyway this is just my little take on it (it's pretty much the same though but I did use some different colors) 

Black: Sinful Colors Black on Black
Pink: China Glaze Pink Voltage
White: Sinful Colors Snow me White
Glitter: Essie Set in Stones

    For the Polka Dots
  • White color again FIRST to the colors pop! 
  • Essie Mint Candy Apple
  • Essie Avenue Maintain
  • Sinful Colors Candy Coated
Base Coat: Sally Hansen Nail Growth Miracle (the one in the gold bottle)
Top Coat: Out the door along with Sally Hansen Salon Manicure Dry & Go Drops

Dotting Tool: Orly Dotter Duo tool 
I got it off hautelook a while ago. Orly does go on there pretty often but you can just use a simple bobby pin which works just as well. 

I absolutely LOVE the way this design came out. I am super curious how it would look with different colors. 

Thanks so much for stoping by today. 

Hope you guys take a moment to follow me on all my social media sites and of course here as well. It would make my day =)

Favorite Summer Foundation

Covergirl Clean Whipped Creme Foundation

Purchased at Walmart for around &6-$8 (18mL or 0.6 FL oz) 


I saw this foundation in Walmart once before and really didn't know how well it was going to turn out. Came home that night, researched it a little and got some opinions from other makeup gurus and well hey just decided to give it a try and so happy i went back to walmart and picked it up. 


Application:  You can absolutely apply this foundation with your fingers or a brush. 
My favorite is the F80 Flat Kabuki from Sigma (sigmabeauty.com) 

Texture: It has a mouse like consistency yet has a very light feel to it which is perfect for the summer time. If you run a bit more oily you may have to touch up throughout the day with your normal powder and girls who have dry skin will deffinatly want to use a setting spray because yet this foundation is light it may cling to your dry spots so case in point deffinatly make sure you use a moisturizer and primer. 
*no matter what foundation or bb cream I use I ALWAYS use a primer. 

Shades:  There's actually a nice variety of shades to choose from (i believe 10-15)
I'm an NW 25 in MAC prolong wear foundation and I purchased 325 (no name for a shade) and it runs a tad too light for me. Never the less I was able to work with it using bronzer of course ;) 


Break Down: 

Pros: 
  1. Affordable 
  2. Amazing to blend
  3. Nice variety of shades
  4. Works well with different skin types
  5. Not heavy feeling on skin 
Cons: 
  1. Packaging not so great for traveling. 
  2. If you are on the extreme end of oily skin you may want to pass this up but if your the type of girl who just loves to try new things then heck why not go for it. 
  3. Since there is no pump make sure your hands are nice and clean if you are using your fingers to apply. 
Thanks for reading guys.
