My Nails Today...

OH NO!  I haven't posted anything in weeks.  I haven't been wearing nail polish (about 4 weeks) because I've noticed that my nails were getting weak.  I have very strong, healthy nails; but because I've been wearing nail polish for the past 4 years without giving my nails a single day of break, they were starting to get weaker and weaker.  Anyway, my nails are all healthy and strong again!  AHHHHH I'm so excited to be wearing nail polish again!!!  I've been looking through my bright colored nail polishes this morning, and I'm thinking super bright neon green color for next week!  Maybe maybe not :P  I'm going to give my nails another week of break, and I will be back with my weekly nail color post this weekend! :)

I Lilac You Nails!

As you saw from my haul from yesterday, I got new nail colors!!!  I absolutely ABSOLUTELY fell in love with this lilac color at the drugstore!  Maybe this is love at first sight!  I just had to bring it home with me.  I was little afraid that this wouldn't be pigmented because I've never tried these polishes before (except for base coat).  But when I applied it, it was so pigmented and creamy!  I think the color is so amazingly beautiful!  This is my new favorite light purple color.  I highly highly highly recommend this color if you're looking for a good lilac.  This is such a pretty light purple with blue undertone; it's a cool tone lilac.

I'm seriously considering wearing this again next week.  I love this color so much!  I haven't liked a nail color this much in such a long time.  I applied some glitter at the tips of my nails.  It has blue and purple glitters.

Walgreens haul

On to the haul!
I went lip product crazy!  I always get the same kind of colors, usually hot pink.  But, I'm proud to say that I went out of the box and bought a nude!  I haven't worn a nude lip color in years.  There was a time when I was only wearing nudes, but currently, I'm addicted to hot pink!

Wet n Wild Megalast Liquid Lip Color- Back to the Fuchsia

I've been wanting to try the Rimmel Show Off lip laquers for so long!  They're also known as the Apocalips. The coral color is beautiful and of course, I had to get the hot pink one.  I haven't worn these out yet, so I don't know the lasting power or how they wear.  I love balm stains so much!!  I'm constantly buying other brands of balm stains to replace the Revlon balm stains because the Revlon ones dry my lips out.  I was sad when I didn't see a hot pink color!!!  And the Wet n Wild megalast liquid lip color seems super long lasting because when I swatched it on my hand, it was hard to remove.  Lastly, of course I couldn't leave the drugstore without getting some nail polishes!

Unexpected purple nails

I'm about to redo my nails even though I just did them today.  It's all because the purple color ended up looking super dark!  I wasn't expecting this color to be so dark.  This is a new color; I've never tried this polish before.  But, I guess I should'be known better because it looks quite dark in the bottle too.  It's a pretty color, but I think I'm going to redo my nails with a lighter purple or pink because it's Valentine's day soon!!

This is Sally Hansen's triple shine in vanity flare.  If I do end up redoing my nails, I'll update this post or something.

Crackle red polka dot nails

Hello Hello to all of you who love polka dots!  For some reason, I couldn't find my plain white polish, so I had to use my white crackle polish.  It turned out super unique!  I think it looks pretty cool!

The burnt red color is Essie's spinning again and the Sally Hansen's crackle overcoat is in snow blast.  I hope you all give this one a try.  Super easy and super cool :)

Nude glitter tip nails

I wanted to wear colors that are more simple and business appropriate this week because I have some meetings to go to throughout the week.  I think this will pass as a cute, and also appropriate for those who work at a business setting and want to wear sparkling glitters.

 I have used Sally Hansen's maximum growth nourishing nail color.  It doesn't have a color name on the bottle, so I have no clue what it's called.  Maybe this is the only color they have! I don't know...
The glitter polish is the Sally Hansen's triple shine in dream sequins.  It's a very pretty and settle glitter polish that consists of orange-ish rose gold colored glitters.

Super simple, cute, and easy to achieve!

DIY glitter jewelry/ make up dish!

This DIY of glitter jewelry or make up dish is super easy!  I've been seeing this DIY all over the internet, so I decided to give it a shot.  It will definitely spice up your vanity, bathroom, or where ever you wish to place them.  They look fantastic anywhere!  I picked gold glitter for mine, but you can choose any color glitter for yours.

Materials: Elmer's liquid school glue
Mod Podge sealer
glitter of your choice
anything you want to put glitter on (plain dishes, glass bottles, etc)

Direction:
1. put a layer of Elmer's liquid school glue on the areas where you want to add glitter. I used a 1inch paint brush to make it easier and to make it even.
2. pour glitter over the areas you have put the glue on.
3. put more glue on to get the areas you didn't get the first time around.
4. apply a thin coat of mod podge over the glittered areas.
5. let this all dry, then reapply a layer of mid podge to prevent the glitters from getting everywhere.
Super easy, huh?  You should give it a try!

 I put my body sprays and perfumes on one and some of my face make up on the other, but these dishes would look fantastic as a jewelry dish.  Oh, by the way, the dishes I used are from Goodwill for 50cents :)

This is part of my bedside table.  I decided to use a Starbuck's coffee glass bottle as a flower vase.  You can spice up any cute glass bottle to use as a vase.
I hope you all give this a try!
