Weekend Wrap Up!

Hello fashionistas!

This was a very busy weekend and I snapped some pictures to share with you all. 

My mom and dad went to IKEA this weekend and my momma is so sweet and picked me up a few new fancy pillows. I am obsessed with fancy pillows and my mom picked out the best ones to go with my room!

#newpillowswag 

Yes, I did hashtag that... 

This was Lily and I before the art camp gallery show started. We helped set up the whole show which consisted of different pieces from 5 different art camps. It was crazy, but really fun to set up. I can really envision myself putting together store fronts and displays, and or styling because obviously that would be my dream job. 

These are some of the flowers from the Flower Power art camp. I helped install and place them on the wall. They were paper maiche, wire, and netting. Lily looked really cute in distressed jeans and my black top and bright emerald green cardigan. 

I walked in our office on Sunday morning to find my sister asleep on the futon with our dog snuggled up on her back. It was too precious to not take a picture of it!

I have to confess... I actually painted my nails this morning, but I thought I would still put it up with the weekend post! I used Essie "Mod Square" for a pretty summery pink. Also hollaaaaa at my new pillow swag..

Going to go finish watching the Bachelorette! Hope you guys had a fab weekend full of shenanigans!

Easy Nail Design

Hello fashionistas!

I must confess... I am horrible at painting my nails.. 

Seriously. If there is a way that I can smudge them or get the nail polish all over my hands then it will probably happen. The funniest part is the fact that I have way too many nail polishes and I am too inept at nail painting to use them. 

I saw this over on Pinterest the other day and really liked it, but kind of knew that I would not be able to do it, but I still pinned it. A girl can dream, right?

Left to right: Essie Turquoise and Caicos, Pure Ice Fast Lane, and Sally Hansen Double Duty Base and Top Coat. 

I had already painted my nails Turquoise and Caicos, but decided I wanted to do something more to them. I decided to attempt the nail art that I had seen on Pinterest. 

I wish I could give you more of a play by play as to what I did, but all I did was get a bit of the gold nail polish on the brush and put it on the nail at an angle. I tried to keep a really steady hand to make sure that the lines were pretty even. 

I'm not going to lie, I'm pretty happy with the outcome! I think I will probably try this with some other colors, maybe hot pink with silver accent.

Are you guys nail design gurus or poor painters like I am?

Hope you're well!

Nail of the Day

Hey fashionistas!

Thanks for all of the get well wishes(:

I had some exciting things to post about today but, I'm just not feeling up to it. Whenever I feel better I'll show you what I got for Christmas and my overdue birthday "haul".

I wanted to show you the new polish I picked up the other day.

It's Wet n' Wild's "Wild Card", the number is 465.

The color pictured above is more darker than it is in real life.

It's a nice purple with a pink shimmer running through it. It went on sheer so I put on 3 coats. I didn't mind doing 3 coats because it dried super fast! This is pretty true to life.

Excuse my dry cuticles!

This is day 2 with 3 coats on.

Here's the rundown:

Price- 5/5

Application: 4/5

Wear time: 4/5

Repurchase: Yes, I would

Overall rating: A

I think you guys should definitely check this out. It's only $1 so even if you don't end up liking it won't break the bank.

Smoky Brown Polish Review/NOTD

Hello dolls!

I have a little review/NOTD of Elf's Smoky Brown polish. No I was not sent this nor am I being paid to review this. I just really like this polish and a few people requested to see a NOTD with it.

*Image taken from E.L.F. website*

This is the image shown on the site, I must say that in real life this looks nothing like it. It shows up WAY more grey on the site and in real life it's way more brown.

This is very true to color in real life. It's much more of a brown with a bit of grey. On other blogger's reviews they said this was a 'greige' (grey beige) color. I feel as if it is more of brey (brown grey, hehe).

It's a really great creme polish.

I've had it on for over two days and it hasn't chipped. I used 2 coats and a top coat. I'm really rough on my nails and being in pottery makes my polish chip all of the time so I'm impressed that this had held up.

I actually got a couple of compliments on this polish.

This picture I just took before doing this post, so this polish has gone through two days of pottery class!

Overall Ratings

Price: 5/5

Packaging: 4/5

Quality: 5/5

Would I re-purchase? Yes I would. I think next I make an ELF order I will probably buy another one.

Now for a side ramble!

I'm super excited for tomorrow, it's my 15th birthday! Which means I am technically legal to get my permit but, I probably won't get it until January because I haven't had any time to study for the test.

Tonight I'm going to my best friend's winter guitar concert.

That's about it!

Orly 'Close Your Eyes'

Sorry for slacking on the blog front... I've been busy, on Saturday my mom and I did a 5k for Breast Cancer and on Sunday we walked 10k (my mom is training for a 1/2 marathon and I just tagged along). It was such a nice day on Sunday, cool and crisp but, not cool enough for a jacket. Saturday was all rainy after the 5k but, Sunday totally made up for it!





Before I go jump in the shower and pop on some press-ons I'm going to do a quick nail post.

Application: 5/5
Chipping: 4/5
Opaqueness: 5/5

I did two coats over my Revlon white tip nails. I'll do a review tomorrow or sometime this week.






I absolutely adore this color, my new fall favorite. A purpley/red with some shimmer. Adore it, you must buy it!

NOTD

Hello again my lovelies(:

I was going to do my August Faves but then I thought about having to take pictures/swatches and I was like well I'll just do it tomorrow. Lazy, I know!

This is Goldie's Creepy Groovy and it is 2 coats with a base coat. Oh and there isn't a top coat on.

This was available at Bath and Body Works and then they stopped carrying Goldie there. Why, I do not know.





I was pleasantly surprised to find out how fast it's dry time is, very fast!

It is a brownish color with a bit of gold shimmer running through it. Overall I definitely think this will be on my nails during fall. I don't know where you can purchase it now and I don't know how much it was because it was a gift from a friend last year.

NOTD

Hello lovelies(:
Here is what I had on my days a few days ago.



This is Bryant Park from New York Colors. A nice beigey/gold color (that I adore!). I think it is perfect for autumn. You can get this for 1.72 at Target and I'm sure Wal Mart has it.

Dollar General Haul

Hey girlies there happens to be a Dollar General right next to the gym my mom and I go to so we occasionally pop in there so this is what I picked up.



Nail polish remover
LA Colors 12 palette in "Traditional" - does anyone want swatches? They are quite pigmented for how inexpensive they are.
LA Colors nail polish in "Red Stilettos"- I have this on now (I just did my nails) so I will take pictures tomorrow and do a post on it.
Conair Professional paddle brush
E.L.F. Total Face Brush I actually was in the market for something to blend my bronzer with and I am really glad I bought this.

So now to tell you girls about my latest project. Yes the time has finally come to do a Project 10 Pan, and I'm sure most of you are familiar with this but, if you aren't it means I am going to finish up 10 products before I buy any more makeup. Yes you read that right. Oh how this shall be fun, wait no it won't be! It needs to be done, I have so many things that I just don't use often enough.

I'm off to bed but I just wanted to remind you all that I will be having my 75 follower giveaway once I reach well, 75 followers!

I hope you all have a good Monday tomorrow (or for some of you today!)
