MOTW 7/15/2013 - Glittery French (UPDATED for Interview)

I wanted to share this short lived mani with you before I took it off. It only stayed on for 2 days. Although I loved it, I felt it wasn't conservative enough for interviewing. 

It's Sinful Colors in White & Heavy Metal, Milani in Silver and Wet n Wild's Fergie polish in New Years Kiss. It was super easy to do. This white polish was one of the best I've used. I did my tips freehand, but you can use tape to do the tips if you feel more comfortable.

Here's what I changed it to this:

I used Wet n Wild's Tickled Pink. Love this polish!!

What do you think of this look? Do you think it matters what's on your nails when interviewing? 

Random thoughts:

• The next time you go to Dollar Tree, be on the lookout for Sinful Colors & Milani nail polishes. I found them both here, but they're packaged. Holla for a dollar!!
• Did you know that Dollar General is not a "dollar store"? Their merchandise isn't all a dollar each. I think they need to change the name. ;)

MYTH: You Get What You Pay For (Nail Polish Edition)

Hi! Just wanted to share this with you. It's nice to share products that live up to their claims, but sometimes I feel it necessary to let you know about some that don't & aren't worth the money. I don't always agree with the saying "You get what you pay for".  Some things are inexpensive while others at a low price are just cheap...there is a difference. This is so true when it comes to nail polish. 

I received a free bottle of Ulta's nail polish with their reward points program.  Although I received it for free, it's regularly sold for $6.

Here's what I have to say about it:

I used the same base & top coats I always do too. Sinful Colors usually lasts me a week. For $6 I can get three bottles of Sinful Colors + tax!

On a side note, I really hear my NY accent in this video! LOL

Sale Info: e.l.f. is on sale on Haute Look starting today! Their brushes are great! Get you some!!

MOTW - 6/25/13 More Fun with Tape

I am having so much fun with scotch tape nail art! It's so easy which is why I love it! The hardest part is deciding on a design.

Here's what I used this week:

From left to right: Snow Me White, Starfish, Kaleidoscope,
Orly Bonder & Seche Vite

I started painting my nails like this. Usually I do only one accent nail, but I went with two this week.

Before the tape. Do 2 coats of polish on each nail & apply a quick drying top coat.
Wait 15-20 minutes & apply tape to form your design. 

This is the end result!

Random thought of the day: I walked two miles in the Texas heat today! Get your fitness on!!! You'll be happy you did!!

3/18/2013 Mani of the Week

No blog post last week, because I've been super busy with school work and studying. More content to come once I finish with school and take my certification exam. 

There are so many gorgeous Spring colors out now!! Walgreens had Sinful Colors on sale, so I couldn't resist buying four bottles of polish from their new display of Spring pastels!! In the past, I didn't purchase pastel polish, as it had a tendency to go on streaky.  I'm happy to say that I had no problems applying this one! Check it out!

Sinful Colors in Sweet Tooth

It looks similar to another lavender shade I have, but this one is softer.  Loved it so much that I put it on my toes too!

What's on your nails this week?

1/4/2013 Mani of the Week

I've been so excited to use this pretty blue polish! The main color is Cinderella. I then used two glitter polishes, Queen of Beauty and Frenzy, on my ring fingers. Cinderella is an icy, light blue with a subtle shimmer. Queen of Beauty is silver glitter, and Frenzy is a pretty combination of purple and light 

blue glitter.

Pastels are going to be hot this Spring, so this icy blue will still be on trend. Here's a pic of all three Sinful Colors polishes.

From Right to Left: Cinderella, Queen of Beauty, Frenzy
