Beauty Bloggin'

 After blogging for nearly two years, I’ve come across a slight dilemma! I’ve posted blogs on most of my nail polish! Since I’m not always buying more and more, I decided to switch up my manicure with of a more color-block situation. Kind of an exercise of mixing and pairing colors together! This allows me to use polishes I may have worn before, but in a new exciting way (for me)!

I wore this combo in my latest Face of the Day video. Unfortunately shortly after painting my mani, I dropped Sally Hansen’s Mint Sorbet (pointer and middle finger) & it broke and poured all over my granite counter top, whoops. I have a good amount of mint polishes in my collection, but I still plan on repurchasing this one because it’s so perfect and opaque– highly recommended. My ring and pinkie are Essie’s Navigate Her. I like this in a combo rather than the full manicure. And the thumb is one of my all-time favorites, Essie’s Turquoise & Caicos.

Thanks for readiiiing :)

p.s. can you see the links within this post or is the contrast too slight? Let me know!

This month’s Birchbox looks adorable!  (I LOVE Gossip Girl, too) …The fact that I was disappointed with the products inside was the first tell-tale sign I should probably unsub.

I’m beginning to accumulate a ton of tiny products that I’m not too excited about! What’s my issue though, honestly!? Fresh has a great Sugar balm, the gold Color Club polish (Disco Nap) is pretty cute… I just think it’s time to move on and try other subscription boxes- or perhaps save my $10 for a weekend matinee movie! Ya know? Also, if you’re interested in making your own ribbon elastic hair ties, check out Danielle’s DIY video to save your dollars! Just click here :)

As I mentioned in my latest video, I’m really interested in subscribing to Glossybox (whether is be 5 travel size items or 5 delux samples… something new may be in my future!)

When might I be unsubscribing? Depends. I want to review my products in this box to receive points and purchase something full-sized with those points! I don’t want those to go to waste. xxoo!

I started this manicure with 2 layers of Essie’s Borrowed & Blue. I absolutely adore this color, and you’ve seen me wear it before! It’s so opaque and such a delicate shade of baby blue.

(I actually included it in my favorite nail polishes of all time, it’s THAT fantastic!)

I then layered Revlon’s Whimsical on top. I picked out a few of the larger glitters to place on the nail because I only wanted to apply one coat, but still have plenty of pretty pieces!

Whimsical is a sheer milky blue color, I’m not sure what else to pair it over! Any thoughts?

Love it! xxoo

Today’s nail post is a hot, hot pink! I can’t wait to film my Glossybox video, but spoiler-alert! I received OPI’s Kiss Me On The Tulips from the Holland collection. I am so excited to have this in my stash.

I have a hard time picking out pinks for myself (I always pass them up for something more “unique” I suppose, but I really do love them!) I should look into picking up Elephantastic Pink, that one was my favorite for so long but I finished it up and never repurchased. I wonder if it’s still available, I need to do some Googling!

Moments after finishing the manicure (topcoat and all), I decided to stamp on a little Konad for a subtle nail art effect. I used OPI’s Designer De-better for the shimmery snakeskin (w/ image plate was BM 215). It wasn’t contrast-y enough, and pink and snakeskin don’t ultimately make sense but whatever! I love it :)
