Too Short To Be French??

Yeah.... I wanted to try a funky french. It looks kinda weird because the tips are on my nail bed because I have NO tips!! What a sad, sad story. But it doesn't look terrible. Not when your working with awesome colors! Wanna see what I mean? Of course you do!

So I used Anise Greyfully Yours as the base. Cheesy name, awesome color! It is opaque in ONE SMOOTH COAT! I used Sally Hansen Celeb City for the tips. Look at how it sparkles! Finally, to add a little pizazz, I added polka dots with Delias Golden Sun on my thumbs and ring fingers. It just adds a finishing touch. So what do you think? Not that bad? Me Neither!

Gaga for Glitter!

Yes... I am going to Lady Gaga tonight. I am wearing a quite glittery manicure.... I'm not sure if it is up to Gaga's crazy standards, but I tried! I will report back on the concert later... I am going with some friends and I am really excited! Heres my mani:

I used Sinful Colors Dream On as a base. It did not capture well at all! It is a nice once coat matte pink leaning purple neon. Its perfect. It is topped with once coat of Sinful Colors Frenzy. It is purple and light blue glitter in a clear base. It also did not capture well..... I think I'm in love though! It's awesome and even somewhat Gaga-esque.

Sir, Can I Have A Re-Fresh Mint?

Sorry for the cheesy title.... I was in the mood. Sorry I havent posted lately. What can I say? I've been busy. So anyways, heres China Glaze Re-Fresh Mint

Its a really pretty mint green pastel creme. It applied like a dream with 2 thin coats. It doesnt make my hands look that red. I think I like this! No.... I think I LOVE this!

DC Nails !

So, I may or may not have told you but I'm going to Washington tomorrow. I am going with my school and I'm going for 3 days! My dad even got us into the White House. (he has connections) So, I thought I would do a festive mani !

 I used Sally Hansen Strobe Light and then red and white Stripe Rite nail stripers. For the thumb, I used a layer of China Glaze Black Mesh.

I really like it! I'll tell all about Washington when I get back...

BH Cosmetics 120 Palette 1st Edition

Here it is.... The most amazing palette ever!

 Hehe sorry for the reflection.... It's sooooo shiny!

 The back to show you that this is the first edition (the brightest of the 3)

 The front palette. This is what it looks like when you first open it!

 Look at the speckled ones! Some are shimmery and some are matte! I don't have swatches of those because I couldn't capture them but they are so pretty!

 After you pull a flap on the side, you lift up the first palette and it reveals the second. You can put the first one up at the top. Here I have some swatches for you... they are all WITHOUT primer!

 look at these mattes! They are so pigmented (especially the red). It is so hard to find red eyeshadow! this palette has this red, an orangey red, and a red shimmer! Plus all of these other beauties *dies*

 look at the neons! Even the neon yellow is pigmented like crazy.... maybe the most pigmented of all! Now for the shimmers!

 look at how beautiful! Again, pigmented but the shimmer really is crazy!!! Again, how many times can you find a pigmented, shimmery yellow?

Even the shimmery white shows up incredibly well! Theres that shimmery red too! 

Overall, INCREDIBLE! The only words I have to say are AHFJEGGSHMWKUWGSHEFJW! AND IT WAS ONLY 25 DOLLARS! I didn't think you would want to pay $150 for a mac palette when you get this! *dies from sheer awesomeness*

buy it! buy it NOWWWWWW!

My Nails and Nail Mail!

Hi Guys! So yesterday, I got my mail! The pics will be below but I'm not gonna show you the adidas slides (because I'm sure you don't care) and the chapstick (because I lost it already). Also, I was cleaning out my garage and I found some nail art stickers. I didn't know where they were from, so I asked my mom. She said that they were hers from when she was little. The pieces were already cut out! I used them for my mani. Anyways, here's my mani from today:

I used 2 coats of Sinful Colors 24/7, which is a neon (that you can't see from the photos). I used the nail stickers too. I really like how this came out. I also used the NailTek that I got:

 It comes with a ridge filling basecoat, A cuticle oil that smells like mint, and a nail strengthening topcoat for peeling, soft nails.

 These are my makeup brushes that I got. They are supposed to be all natural!

 This is my BH cosmetics 120 palette 1st edition! This is the thing I was most excited for. It has mattes, shimmers, and 6 eyeshadows with different colored specks. I will do a review on those later.

and my 2 step Maybelline XXL mascara! It actually works really well!

What do you think? Money well spent? I am going to go work on my review now for my palette
