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?
