I was wearing this watermelon pink/red shade by Ulta and really didn’t have the energy to do a new manicure for my trip to the O.C. Fair last weekend , and I knew for sure I didn’t want to top off the mani with glitter and deal with the hassle of removing it. I decided to give water marble nails yet another try. When I first tried this nail design Read More ...

Not to start this post off being a total buzz kill but I’m already over the holidays. Nail polish is the only thing keeping me going. I started a new job last week and I’m already feeling the pressure to participate in a Secret Santa gift exchange with people I just met…awkward. They also want everyone help bring Christmas tree ornaments to decorate the tree- I just spent what seems Read More ...
NARS “Midnight Express” finally arrived last week and I got a chance to wear it but was so busy I forgot to take pictures. I got so many compliments on the color. I promise I’ll get pictures up this week. I bought NYC “Plaza Plumberry” because it’s a great balance of both maroon and burgundy. I intended on looking for a nice burgundy…clearly I got a little sidetracked. NYC “Starry Read More ...
Making your makeup more autumn appropriate is easier than you may think. The most noticeable change is your lip colors. Autumn calls for deeper shades of browns, reds, and wines. With the holidays quickly approaching the last thing we need to be overwhelmed about is our makeup. Since we’re hosting Thanksgiving dinner for our families and the boys have the ARDACITY (in my NeNe Leakes voice) to ask for expensive Read More ...
Muted plum toned grays Nina Ultra Pro Nail Lacquer “Never Glum Plum” – a muted mid-tone plum toned gray with a crème finish. Nina Ultra Pro has a warm spot in my heart. This brand is like the new and hip Sation. They’re affordable (suggested retail price $3.50), you can typically get away with doing a single coat, and the color selection covers everything you’re looking for. From Read More ...

When I say I’m one lucky girl I mean it. I went to Sephora to return a blush that simply couldn’t deliver no matter how much I tried and decided to do a little browsing. As I was leaving I walked pass the Urban Decay shelves..not looking for anything in particular because I knew the only item I wanted…the most sought after makeup item of the season (so far) wouldn’t Read More ...
