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?
