Weekend Shopping Haul!

Hi guys! So instead of a tutorial today I thought I'd show you guys what I bought this weekend!

First I went to Ulta because they were having some sales that I wanted to check out. A lot of the Ulta brand cosmetics were on sale so I got a few of those. I needed some new black eye liner and they had a deal that if you bought two eye products you got an eye liner free! I decided to give the Ulta Whipped Eye Shadow a try too. I swatched this on my hand, it's an interesting formula. It takes a minute to dry, and when it does it has kind of a different smudge proof texture. And of course I couldn't pass up on $2 Ulta nail polish. I tried to pick colors that I don't have anything similar to. I think these two will be really pretty for fall!

I picked up the Maybelline Dream Lumi concealer because I've seen several YouTube-ers raving about it, I needed an new under eye concealer. I've seen a lot about the Rimmel "Fall Catwalk" blush, and it's really pretty on. I also picked up a Rimmel eye shadow quad in "English Rose". I don't own any Rimmel products, I was impressed with the quality. The colors are very pigmented and beautiful. I grabbed the Batiste Dry Shampoo, I'd been wanting to try it for a while.


Then I went to the mall. I didn't buy much, I was trying to control myself haha. I just went to Forever21 and Bath and Body Works. I usually only buy jewelry and accessories at Forever21. I didn't find and jewelry I couldn't live without but I did find two nail polishes! One is a multi sized purple glitter and the other is a burgundy duo chrome. I also got an aqua leopard print cotton scarf, that I forgot to take a pic of. 


I went to Bath and Body Works to specifically pick up the Sweet on Paris lotion. I bought the shower gel and body spray a few weeks ago and decided I really wanted the lotion too. I don't usually like scented lotions, because they're too strong for me. But Sweet on Paris is a really light scent that I love! I had a coupon for buy one get one free so I got a back up of the Carried Away shower gel.

Did you do any shopping this weekend? What did you buy?

Fave Friday: Pinks

PINK!! PINK!! PINK!! Ok I'm done yelling now hehe. I love pink, it's my absolute favorite color, no mater what shade of pink. These are my top three fave pink polishes, and it was super hard to pick just three.

OPI "Cancun Fiesta"- This is probably my all time favorite polish. It's the perfect dark creamy pink, it just looks so classic and perfect. I'm pretty sure it's discontinued now but you can find it on eBay.


OPI "Sweet Heart"- This is a very pale pink polish. It's very classy and clean looking. 


Ulta "Flamingo"- I think this is pretty much the perfect Barbie pink! The formula of Ulta's polishes is very nice, and goes on easy. 



What's your favorite pink polish?

Tilt: Lace

Today's Tilt is all about lace! I've always loved lace, it's just so delicate and pretty! It's also supposed to be super popular for Fall this year. I like that lace can be pretty versatile. It can be really girly, or edgy, or boho. I also like that you can try the trend, without going full on lace, with accessories like scarves or bags!



Are you loving lace? What's your favorite trend for the Fall?

Review: NYX


Today I thought I'd do a review/collection overview about NYX cosmetics. NYX is the brand that I own the most of, and probably my favorite too. I love how affordable NYX is and the quality is comparable to other brands that sell for more. They have a very wide variety of colors for each type of product, something for every personality and skin tone.


I'm so in love with NYX lip products! I've found that most of their products are very pigmented and go on very easily. Also I absolutely love the smell of their lip glosses and some of the lip sticks (not all have a scent). I've noticed a couple different scents: grape, cherry, bubble gum, and lemon. The lip glosses are not super sticky and both the gloss and lip sticks last quite a while. There are tons of colors for their lip products, I tend to stick too pinks. I am having trouble picking out what my very favorite NYX product is but I'd say it's probably the Round Lip Stick in color Narcissus, it's the perfect bright baby pink. I would also say that their lip glosses are my favorite in every color haha!



I buy most of my NYX products from either Cherryculture.com or from Ulta, Cherry Culture is a little cheaper though. Also at Cherry Culture they tend to have more of the products and more of the colors. My Ulta seems to always be out of stuff. My only suggestion with Cherry Culture is too Google swatch pictures of colors you want, the swatches on the site are not super accurate. I have bought a couple of lip sticks that I wouldn't have if the swatch had been accurate, I don't really mind that much I can give them away.

I like their eye shadows a lot too. I really like the matte eye shadows, but all are very pretty and pigmented. The blushes are beautiful and are very comparable to higher end blushes. The jumbo eye pencils are very popular with the beauty community, they're great to use as bases under shadow.





Do you like the NYX brand? If so what's your favorite product? Do you have another affordable brand that you love?

Nail Tutorial: Chevron Nails!

Today I bring you a super cute and trendy chevron nail look! I'm so in love with chevron stripes! They can be a little nautical, a little funky, a little tribal; they are just so versatile. I like to just do an accent nail with the chevrons and leave the rest solid, you could do chevrons on all your nails though if you'd like. I did see a video on how to do this from CutePolish. I thought I'd just show you some quick pictures on how to do this and a couple of tips.



1. Paint your nails a solid color, remember to use a base coat first.

2. While that dries, get out your tape dispenser (use regular scotch tape) and pull off at least a two inch long section (more if you're doing all your nails). I like to leave mine on the dispenser to keep it pulled tight, I also like to pull it a little past the end so I can have something to hold on to later. Now paint on the color that you want for your stripes, do a thin coat and wait at least a minute or two then do a second coat. Let this fully dry.

3. Now you need pinking shears (zigzag scissors), you can buy them at craft stores and you can probably find them at Walmart or Target in the craft section. Cut one end of the polished part to start the zigzag. Then cut into it again to make your stripe, this takes some practice to line it up correctly and to get the width you want. It took me a while to perfect this, I suggest practicing first before you're actually ready to do your nails.

4. Stick your stripes to your fully dry nail (definitely make sure your nails are fully dry so you don't smudge them) press down firmly. Leave the excess for now. Keep adding your stripes until it reaches your desired look. You can do just a few spread apart or several close together, up to you.

5. Trim off the excess tape as close to the edge as possible. I use cuticle cutter scissors, they allow you to get very close.

6. Seal it all with your favorite top coat.

7. Admire your pretty nails and let people wonder how you did such a good job!

This look can be changed up so much with different colors of lines and with different widths. You could even use scissors that have a different edge for a totally different look. Also you can use this technique with regular scissors to make perfect stripes.



Polishes I used for the Blue and White:
  OPI "Nail Envy Base Coat"
  Color Club "Blue- Ming"
  Wet N' Wild "Never Been Kissed"
  Seche Vite Top Coat

For the Pink Nail:
  Sinful Colors "Pink Forever"
  Pure Ice "Black Rage"
  Sally Hansen "Wet Cement"
  Wet n' Wild "Never Been Kissed"
  Seche Vite Top Coat


If you try this look I'd love to see pictures! Leave a link below!

What's on My Nails Right Now

What's on my nails right now, you ask? Oh you didn't ask? Well I'm gonna tell you anyways haha. So right now I have Color Club "Blue-Ming" and an accent nail with Sally Hansen "Wet Cement" with white chevrons. I'm going to be posting a tutorial on Monday on how to do the chevrons, it's super easy and fun! I love love love this blue it's the perfect aqua, it's just so pretty. It looks really good on toes too!



And on my toes,  I don't like taking pics of my toes lol, I have Color Club "Modern Pink". I really like this color. It's way more neon in person than this picture. It's a lighter neon pink if that makes sense. The problem I have with this polish, and it might just be my bottle, is that it was really chunky and streaky. I added some thinner but that didn't really help. It's still usable but I have to be really careful with it so it's not streaky or weird looking.


( Pic of polish is from the Color Club site click here to go to the site) (also ignore the fact that these are not painted very well, I painted them late last night lol)

Fave Friday: Reds

Hi guys! So today I'm going to share my three favorite red polishes! Every week I'll show you my faves of a different color. Reds are a little difficult for me, I don't wear them super often. I tend to like a more blue red than an orange red, I just feel like it looks better on my skin tone.


1. OPI "Manicurist of Seville"- I love this red it's so vampy! It's more of a cranberry red, inside it looks darker and outside or in brighter light it looks more red. This is one of my favorite colors for fall and winter.


2. Sally Hansen "Red Carpet"- This is red on red glitter polish. It's super glittery but not overwhelming. I love using this for holiday nails, it's very festive. It also applies very smoothly and isn't chunky. 


3. OPI "Cajun Shrimp"- This is a long time favorite. It's the perfect red coral! It's one of my absolute faves for summer, it's perfect for toes (and nails lol)!




Comment below and let me know what your favorite red polishes are!

Tilt: Hot Pink Lips and Neutral Eyes




Lately, I've been so in love with hot pink lips with neutral eyes! I really love bright pink lips but I don't like to over do it with bright lips and dark eyes, so I've been doing a neutral or champagne lid with black liner and lots of mascara. It's such a fun look and is super fast, just swipe on some light eye shadow all over your lid and add a liner and mascara then a punch of pink lipstick or gloss and you're done!

Are there any make up looks you're loving at the moment, comment below and let me know!

Nail Swatches


If you're anything like me and have over 200 bottles of nail polish and can't remember what every polish looks like on, then you might want to swatch all your polish. I've had all my polished swatched for the last three or so years, but I recently revamped my swatches and did them all over.

When I first swatched all my polishes I only had like four wheels. So I put them all in rainbow order, and numbered them all. The problem came when I got new polish, I've more than doubled my polish since then. Every time I got a new polish I just added it to the last wheel, which meant that I had pinks at the beginning of the wheels and then a random one at the end. This made it hard when I wanted to see all of one color, I'd miss the random ones.



Anyways, I decided to get all new wheels and redo them all. So I went on eBay, the cheapest place I've been able to find wheels. These are the ones I got. I tried to find ones that came in sets of ten, and I ordered five sets. This was probably way more than I needed, but I wanted to have extra for later  and I test designs on them. Mine came from Hong Kong. Which takes a while to arrive, about two weeks, keep this in mind. In the mean time while I waited for my wheels I went ahead and numbered all my polishes. I decide the best way was to number each color separately, and put on their own wheels. This way when I get a new pink I can just add it to the pink wheel with the others. I started each color with number one and labeled them R1, R2 and so on (so Red 1, Red 2. then started each color over again) Before I just used a Sharpie to write the numbers on the bottles but I decided a dot sticker would be better. It took a couple of different stickers to find ones that would actually stay on the bottle. Make sure your stickers say permanent and not removable. I also found that since my bottles sit out in the open and get a little dusty, and they also get lotions and natural oils from your hands when you handle them; that I needed to rub the bottles down with rubbing alcohol. This made the stickers stick much better.




Once my wheels arrived I numbered each set of wheels for each color. I also put a number in the center of the wheel, so I could keep the multiple wheels for each color in order easier. Then came the fun part, swatching all the polish! I made the slight mistake of doing about 150 in one day without a window open. I was a little light headed after from all the fumes, I suggest doing this in a well ventilated area. While swatching all my polish it helped me find polish that I had kind of forgot about. I'm really happy with my new swatches, much more organized. It's also easier to pick a color from the swatches instead of digging through all the bottles.

Do you have a special way you organize your polish? Do you think I'm super obsessive compulsive for being this organized? Hahaha.

Tag Tuesday: Ultimate Nail Tag



Ultimate Nail Tag:

1.When did your nail passion start? 
I really got into polish about three years ago, I think. I'd been into having my nails done before, but my true obsession started probably 3 years ago.

2.When did you start growing your nails long?
My nails aren't always long, they go back and forth. When one breaks I tend to trim them all down so that they're even. But, I've always had longish nails since I was young. I've never been a nail biter. 

3.What are the secrets to growing long natural nails?
I don't really have any real secrets, I think I'm just lucky my nails grow well. But I do think moisturizing helps and keeping your nails filed nicely so it prevents breaks.

4.Do you like long or short nails?
I think I like medium length, not too short or too long.

5.Which do you prefer most acrylic, gel, fiberglass or any other nail enhancement?
I used to get acrylic nails but now I'm much more into natural nails.

6.Do you prefer false nails or natural nails?
Natural nails.

7.What nail shape do you like best, round, square, pointy, squoval?
I kind of change my nail shape off and on between square and rounded and somewhere between the two. Most of the time they are pretty much squoval. 

8.What nail polish brand do you love the most?
This is hard I love lots. OPI is probably and all time favorite, but I've been very into Color Club lately.

9.If you were stuck on an island what would be the 3 nail items you would bring?
Definitely a nail file, I can not stand to have jagged nails. Then probably a moisturizer of some kind, I don't like having dry cuticles or hands. And last I think I'd want a polish, most likely OPI Cancun Fiesta.

10.Why do you love nail art? How did you get started doing nail art?
I love nail art because you can do so many different looks, and most people are seriously impressed with even the simplest of designs. I think I got started doing nail art because I saw a YouTube video showing how to do a zebra print and thought "That's cute! I can do that!" 



I'd love for you guys to do this tag too! Just copy and paste it to your blog and then send me the link!

I'm Back!


I'm Back! Ok not that anyone really even noticed I was gone. Anyways, I find it kind of funny/sad that my second to last post was in February and was about how much I suck at blogging. I think I've now proven my point haha.

But, I do want to continue with this blog. I've made myself a schedule of posts I want to write, I think this will help me stay focused. I have a lot of ideas and information that I can share that will hopefully be fun for people to read. I'm going to try to start doing some nail tutorials/ideas, hopefully these will go up on most Mondays. For Tuesdays I'm planning on continuing my "Tag Tuesdays". Wednesday will be dedicated to reviews or hauls. Thursday will still be "Tilts (Things I Love Thursdays)". Friday I'm think will be "Fave Fridays" I want to show my favorite 3 nail polishes of each color, for example this Friday will be my three favorite red nail polishes. And if possible (depends on internet access) Saturdays will be "What's on My Nails at the Moment".

I hope people will enjoy my blog! If there's anything you'd like to see on my blog or that you think I should change, please comment below and let me know!

Special Edition TILT: Valentine's Day!



Happy Valentine's Day! I may not have a valentine but that doesn't mean I don't love Valentine's Day! What's not to love about a holiday that's all about pink and hearts? To me Valentine's Day has never been about fancy dinners and expensive presents. I would much rather have a silly little gift than one of those ugly pieces of jewelry in all the commercials right now. I love to wear pink or red on Valentine's day and do my nails in a fun festive design! This year I'm thinking of doing conversation heart nails! I'll blog about them if I do.

What do you like to do for Valentine's Day?

Blog Makeover and I Suck at Blogging

Ok so first of all I totally suck at blogging. I keep telling myself that I'm going to get on a schedule and post three blog posts a week. I have only accomplished this once haha! I'm really going to try to be better, because I enjoy writing this blog and I have lots of ideas! There are a couple of blog posts I know I'm going to be writing soon; including a Cherryculture.com haul, a recent nail polish haul, and a NYX lipstick review.

If you haven't already noticed my blog got a makeover! My lovely friend Wendy made me the new banner! I love it, it's so girly and cute. I love the splash of pink across, it looks like blush! I just wanted to say thanks again Wendy, you're the best!


See you soon..... hopefully :)

Tilt: Neon


I am so in love with NEON right now! I want everything to be neon: my nails, my jewelry, my clothes! I think part of why I love neon is because I'm ready for it to be spring and summer! I just love bright pops of color. I'm an 80's kid so that might be part of my love of neon!

Do you love neon? Will you be trying this trend?

Tilt: Pinterest and Pink


I am sooo in love with the site Pinterest! I have the app on my phone and spend way too much time on it. I like looking at all kinds of stuff on there. Obviously I look at the Hair & Beauty section, but I'm really into the Home Decor section lately. I've been pinning lots and lots of pink things, my favorite color. You can check out my pink board here! I like looking for pink things for my bedroom, which will eventually be fully decorated in pink, white and pale green (it's somewhat in those colors now, but not exactly how I want it). I'm very drawn to vintage and "shabby chic" looking things. Also I really like little kitschy knick knack things, like the poodle!  Here's some of my favorite things I've pinned:


I love the writing on the pink walls, I think this would be fun in a closet with wall space or like a little nook. I adore Paris and Eiffel Tower pictures, I want to find a big one to hang over my bed. How cute is that little pink poodle! The dresser is so beautiful, I love the look of older furniture painted new!



My favorite pink thing I've found on Pinterest is this quote from Aurdrey Hepburn. It's just so me! I'd love to paint it on a canvas or something to hang in my room!


Do you have a Pinterest? I'd love to follow you! If you don't already have one and need an invite comment below and I'd be happy to send you one!

Nails: Matte Mermaid Sparkles




Continuing with the glitter posts! I like the look of a matte top coat over glitter, it's just so unexpected! I really loved OPI Mermaid Tears it went on so nicely in two even coats. It reminds me of China Glaze For Audrey, but more of a dusty teal. I did one coat of a multi-sized holo glitter on top, I wanted a scattered glitter look. I got the holo at Urban Outfitters on a sale table for $1! Then I put a coat of Hard Candy Matte-ly In Love. I got my Hard Candy from Walmart.




The polishes I used:
OPI- Mermaid Tears
NYX Girls- Spotlight
Hard Candy- Mate-ly In Love

Do you like the look of matte glitter?

Tilt: Glitter Polishes!!


So I decided I'd try to start doing "Things I Love Thursday" posts, or Tilts! Lately I've been super into glitter nail polish, see my previous post lol. I already had several glitters, but I HAD to have more haha! Glitters are so fun, I like using them when I don't have time to do a design, because it still looks different than just a solid color. The only drawback of using glitters so much is taking them off, it's such a pain! I really want to try a Deborah Lippmann glitter polish, especially Up In the Air, or I want to find a dupe for it.

What's your favorite glitter polish?

Happy New Year and Nail Polish Galore

Happy New Year! So it's been a while since I've posted anything. But it's a new year so I've decided to make my resolution to blog more! I really enjoy this blog and want to get into it more. My main problem with keeping up with frequent posts is that I don't have regular internet access. I've decide though that I'm going to try to write a couple of posts at once and then schedule them to post throughout the week.

Anyways, I hope you all had a wonderful holiday and a super awesome New Years! I decided I wanted to do a Christmas haul for you guys, I'm also going to include some things I've purchased recently as well! I've been on a bit of a nail polish kick so that's where I'll start!


The top row I purchased for myself (except the OPI Natural Nails Base Coat, my sister gave it to me) I got the neon green and neon yellow at this little accessories store that we have here. I don't have very many neons, besides pink, so I thought I'd give these a try. Plus they were cheap lol! I picked up a new bottle of Seche Vite and OPI Nail Envy. I've never used Nail Envy so I hope I like it!

The middle row I purchased myself, from the nail supply store. I went to the store looking for OPI Rainbow Connection, because I couldn't find it at Ulta. I was so excited to find it, it's so fun! I love going to the nail supply store because everything is cheaper than if you buy it at Ulta or Sally's Beauty Supply. I have really been into glitter polishes lately, as you can see. So everything sparkly caught my eye! The silver on the end is also from the accessory store, it's my favorite silver, it applies so well and is a perfect chrome silver.

The two bottom rows were given to me by my sister and my mom. My sister knew I really wanted to get some of the OPI Muppet's collection. I already used Excuse Moi! it is so pretty and totally different from anything else I have. The three bottles on the end are mood polishes, they change color in heat or cold! The four on the bottom are glow in the dark. My mom bought the glow in the dark and the mood polishes for me, she didn't know which colors of regular polish I already have so she got these, which I love because I don't have anything like either! The three little bottles on the bottom are glitters as well, the first two are different, it just didn't show up on camera.

If you notice the numbers written on some of them, that's because I number and swatch all my polishes. I got nail wheels from EBay. I swatched them all so I could tell what they look like on, because I have too many to remember lol.

I'll list the color names in case you want to look for any of them!
Top Row:
Ruby Kisses- Lime Green with Envy and Neon Yellow
OPI Natural Nail Base Coat
Seche Vite Fast Drying Top Coat
OPI Nail Envy

Middle Row:
OPI- Rainbow Connection
Orly- Rage
Orly- Oui
China Glaze- Material Girl, Fairy Dust, CG In the City
LA Colors Color Craze- Live

Bottom Row:
OPI- Warm & Fozzie, Excuse Moi!
Love & Beauty: purple glitter, rose gold glitter, silver holo glitter (these don't have color names)
Color Club- Very Merry Berry
BlueCross Beauty Products Inc- mood polishes (no color names)
Sally Girl- So Disco, So 70's, Gold Glitter
Expressions- glow in the dark (no color names)

I also got some makeup! Mostly lip products. My sister got me the Ulta Lip Gloss set, which I love because I like the little tubes because they fit well in clutches. She also gave me the Baby Lips, EOS, and one of the Lip Butters. My mom put the little Avon gloss in my stocking! I bought one of the lip butters and the Ruby Kisses eye shadow primer. I found the eye shadow primer at the accessory store, I immediately thought it looked just like Urban Decay Shadow Potion (which I use) I thought I'd give it a try since  it was only $4! I've used it twice and so far its not too bad, it takes a little longer to dry than Urban Decay but I like it, I'll have to use it more to get a better review of it.


Color names:
Revlon Color Burst Lip Butters- Strawberry Shortcake and Lollipop
Maybelline Baby Lips- Quenched
Avon Glazewear Shine- Darling Pink
EOS balm- Strawberry Sorbet


Hope you enjoyed this haul! What did you get for Christmas?



Disclaimer: all items were given to me as gifts or purchased by me, all opinions are my own. This post is in no way meant to brag, it is just to show what my family chose to give me and what I bought for myself.
