My Favorite cutepolish Videos!

"cutepolish" is my favorite nail artist on YouTube. Here are the links to my favorite designs.
  I love how short and easy all of her designs are! I love how they dont need to be certain colors. The prom nails would look great with green or red! Some things like the Stormtrooper and Moustache cant easily be different colors, but the cupcake and plaid can be different colors for different holidays or moods.
  Who is your favorite person on YouTube?

Fresh Paint: Lilac and Mint

340 Mint Sorbet on the left and 270 Lacey Lilac on the right
 I love these Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear nail polishes! They are super pigmented and long wearing without being streaky or splotchy.  They are available at Target and Walmart and are under $5.
On my right hand I have Mint Sorbet on four of my fingers and Lacey Lilac in the ring finger nail.

My left hand had the opposite to balance out the look. What nail polish are you wearing?

O.P.I. Holland Spring Collection

Happy Presidents Day everyone! Enjoying the day off? Getting that homework done? Yeah, me neither...Anywho, I was looking through Ultas latest catalog and saw the O.P.I. Holland Collection and wanted to tell you what I think!
Descriptions are from left to righ on the top row first, then the bottom row.
  • Gouda Gouda Two Shoes-dusty mauve with peach undertones
  • Wooden Shoe Like to Know?-warm cocoa brown with orange undertones
  • I Have a Herring Problem-a mid-toned blue/green with silver sparkle
  •  A Roll in the Hague-bright tangerine orange
  • Pedal Faster Suzi!-lilac with pink undertones
  • Dutch'ya Just Love OPI?-a grape with pink undertones
  • Thanks a WindMillion-minty green
  • Red Lights Ahead...Where?-cherry red and strawberrie with pink undertones
  • Kiss Me On My Tulips-hot fushia
  • Vampsterdam-like Wooden Shoe Like to Know? and Dutch'ya Just Love OPI? wixed todether with some sparkle
  • I Dont Give a Rotterdam!-baby blue with silver sparkle
  • Did You 'ear About Van Gogh?-a whitish cream
I kind of want Red Lights Ahead...Where? and Gouda Gouda Two Shoes and Vampsterdam. I think that they are the most unique and pretty. Did You 'ear About Van Gogh? looks like every other white in the drugstore and can probablly find it for 99 cents at Sally's Beauty Supplies...I Don't Give a Rotterdam, Thanks a WindMillion, Kiss Me on My Tulips, A Roll in the Hague and Wooden Shoe Like to Know? are the same. Dutch'ya Just Love OPI?, Pedal Faster Suzi! and I have a Herring Problem are okay but the whole thing is a little expensive...If I had the money, I would get them.
Which ones would you get?

Products I Regret Buying

PRODUCTS:
NYC Lipstick in Retro Red and Petal-These both have a chemical gros smell and the red one stains, and the pink one highlightes the linges in the lips and is so shimmery it looks white! i use it as a blush base but the red is useless.
Ulta Lipstick in Nude-This is a very brown lipstick and it is creamy and nice but the color is aweful. I use it as a base for my blushes as well. lol
WetnWild Nail polish in Party of 5 Glitters-The glitter is very spread out and chips but doesnt come off. It also takes a long time to dry whereas the clear did not. The clear also took off my nail polish...
Almay 1Coat Dial Up-This clumps my lashes together and smells aweful and wore off my eyelashes in about 2 hours. It also irritates my eyes. ):
Sally Girl Bronzer-Here is the link to my review.
NYC concealer in Yellow-This wears off very easily and hardly covers. I can work with it under FOUNDATION not another concealer. And it can work with the blending with the crease brush but still wish I had gotten the skin color.
NYC White eyeliner-No Pigment, and irritates my eyes so much. I mush prefer Wet n Wild
NYC Lip tin in Sugar Angel-This is nice but it is so gloppy that it is so hard to get it to look good. Same goes for the red one, Sugar Baby.
Claire's Nail polish in Snowball-This is half dried up and half separated into a yellow liquid and a white goo... ):
ELF Concealer-I think that this is just the wrong shade. I have it in Light beige and it looks orange. They have a lighter shadem, Ivory, and I am pretty sure that is what I am!

Thanks for joining me on this litte rant and I hope you all liked! If you make a post on it, leave the link down bellow!

Hey everyone! I know that I have been doing so many reviews lately but in the new year I like to tell yall what I think is good and not good!

I am so bored with going on my own instincts! I would love to do stuff like fashion help or something but I dont know if that is what you want!!!
Sorry for this little blab! Only a week of reviews left then back to other stuff! Love yall!

Nail Art - Two Tones

  This tutorial is about using the trend of two tones.  My take on it is more about using the same color, but different hues.  I first tried out this pattern with purple and lavender. Then I tried gray/white, then red/hot pink, blue-green/lighter blue-green, and then a few others. I took pictures and here they are!

NYC Purple Pizazz w/Kiss Lavender

Sally Hansen Instadry Speedy Red w/Kiss Hot Pink


Ulta Gray w/Sinful Colors Bad Chick

Sinful Colors Gorgeous w/Kiss Teal


Sinful Colors I Love You w/JustShine Blackout
The designs themselves (from pinkie to thumb) are: Half Moon Manicure w/Raindrops; French Tip; Diagonal Tip w/Extra line; 3/5 of nail French Tip; Grid.  Tell me which colors YOU try by email or comment.  Luv y'all!

Trend Tracker:Fall Nails

Hey! I have seen a few trends in the latest beauty magazines like Teen Vogue and Allure. Here is a quick list: red, white, pale/pastels, orange, metallic and bare. Now I shall go in depth.
RED: I have already told you about the crimson trend so this you already know. Sally Hansen Intadry-Speedy Red. WHITE: So many times I have seen white nails on the latest models! I used to question this look, but then I realized that it goes with everything! Essie-Blanc. PALE/PASTEL: any pale green, purple, blue, yellow, pink, et. will match this trend! It looks clean but colorfully cute. Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear-Lacy Lilac, Mint Sorbet. ORANGE: I knew this was going to come because of the crimson. Any very bright or redish orange will do. NYC-Times Square Tangerine Creme. METALLIC: I have only seen silver metallic around and I have loved this mani for a while. LA Colors-Live. BARE: I have seen this more than the pale and pastels on madels nails. Not French manicures, but literal bare, healthy nails!
So this is the end and I hope that you all liked this and give me an email or comment to tell me what I should do next and give me feed back on this trend!

Crackle at Claire's



My friend from out of town, Robin, and I went to the mall recently and during our epic adventure, we went to the Claire's. As we were searching though the headbands, scarves and hair clips, we saw the Claire's brand crackle polish. I have been waiting sooo long until I could use Crackle. The nice store clerks allowed me to test the nail polish before buying and it really works! There was a Buy One Get One 50% so when I found this awesome stuff, I got two! I wanted silver and black, but sadly neither were there. I gold and pink because they are also very pretty. Tell me by email or by commenting if you want a demo or review! I put the gold over the orange for Thanksgiving and I like it! Much Love!

www.wnwbeauty.com





This is my happy place! Just putting that out there...I am going to give you a tour/review of the Wet 'n' Wild website.



When you first get there, you will see pictures of their latest collection, deals, or other special thing. In the upper left corner there is a list of all the places on the site. Products, Newsletter, Makeup Advisor, WNW Beauty Ambassador, WNW Cares, WNW V.I.P. Login, and Where to Buy. Everything is perfectly laid out and easy to maneuver. One of my favorite things to look at would be their eye products! Their eyeshadows are to die for....Not to mention affordable!


Their Newsletter is really nice and it gives so much info in a short amount of time! It is so fun to read and to look at what it is about. They update all of the latest trends and fashions and where to get the supplies you need. Only downside is the fact that they don't update the newsletter very often.....



Every so often, on the Makeup Advisor, they have product you can use to create a look or two. This includes a video and a list of the products. The Beauty Ambassotor and WNW Cares has all of the details and the sign up info. I just read some and now I love Wet n' Wild even more! I have not yet become a WNW V.I.P. but I cannot wait to do so!



One of the best things about http://www.wnwbeauty.com/ is that is is fast and it doesnt lock up your computer! Also all of the swatches are true to color and that is the BEST part! My problem with http://www.eyeslipsface.com/ is the swatches....they are never true to color......



Bottom Line: 10/10

Crimson Trend

So I have heard about the trend of crimson going around and I thought that I would give you guys a couple of ideas!

You can wear red nails which is the easiest way to sport this trend. Next is red lips and this can be tricky but is very simple once you learn how! Then I would suggest clothing. I love wearing crimson clothes because it brings out my blue eyes. But make sure that the red is in a shirt, shoes, accessories, but not the pants. I you feel that red pants looks OK on you, go ahead, but I dont think it looks good on many people. Another way is to use a crimson blush. It sounds ridiculous but if you lightly dab the powder, tab off the excess and gently sweep right above the hollows of you cheek, it would look very nice and pretty. The hardest way to sport red and crimson is eyeshadow. I don't have any red eyeshadow, but I know that AllThatGlitters21 on YouTube and elleandblair.com have a couple of ideas. I just say don't go all out and slather red on your eye. Lightly but noticeable or less is more applies to this trend!

luv y'all!

OMG! No More Makeup?!?!?

Thats right people. I am not going to buy any makeup for 9-12 months! I started the first of this month and forgot to tel you...But my mom and besties don't think that I can pull this off, so I guess I can prove them wrong...lol So I will explain what I may and may not buy.

May Buy: I can still buy stuff like nail polish (not makeup), hair products (not makeup), and tools of any sort. I will accept gifts and stuff (not that I am asking) because I don't want to be rude. I may also buy lip balm and skin care.

May Not Buy: makeup as in lipsticks, lipgloss, primers, mascara (Ikd how this will work; both of mine are 2 months old.....), eyebrow stuff, eyeliner, etc. Ummm...Soooo....Yeeeaahh....lol

So this is my idea and it started September 1 but I kept on forgetting to post it! luv yall

Brrrrrrr!

the Best Restful Relaxing Reviving Refreshing Rockin' Relizationalizing season is fall. Here are the things I am looking forward to in autumn:
1. Crispy air that nips your nose! I love this because it is refreshing and reviving!
2. Hot drinks. I love cocoa, coffee, and tea! I love cocoa with whipped cream and coffee with regular cream. And tea is just awesome so yeah. The feeling of something warm is wonderfully relaxing.
3. Reading books with a cat, tea, and a warm nook! This is the best feeling of fall because, well, do I have to explain?
4. Piling huge fluffy blankets on your bed. I love the feeling of lots of blankets on me right before I fall asleep.
5. The darker nail polish colors! I adore red, brown, silver, and green colors on my nails. I have one dark green, a wonderful silver, a couple great reds, and a really pretty brown. It looks sophisticated.
6. Fuzzy socks and slippers! There is this hot pink pair of fuzzy socks that i own and I love them! but I never wore them because it was always too hot.
7. Fall scents. I love i love cinnamon, cookie, pumpkin, and spicey scents. I have a great candle that i cant wait to burn.
8. The makeup that you can wear in the fall is very great. I love red lips, smokey eyes and brownish orangy colors for everything...
9. The last thing that I love about fall is the TV shows that start! I love So You Think You Can Dance? that starts in the summer but I like the X Factor and American Idol in the fall. Also there is Fringe and other stuff too.
What are your favorite things about fall/autumn?

Nail Polish Trick

Do you have trouble getting glitter polish off of your nails? Still want that full glitter affect? Have a cream nail polish that just will not stick? Well here is your answer!



  1. Put on a base coat.


  2. Apply on the most thin but mostly solid color of a horrible nail polish on your nail. After it has dried, apply one more but not a third.


  3. Put on as many glitter polish coats onto the nail for a cool new color, easier take off and less polish wasting (not to mention money!)


  4. Finish off with a nice top coat and let dry completely!

Suggestions:



  • Revlon-Pink Ice w/ Sinful Colors-I Miss You


  • Revlon-Cherries in the Snow w/ Wet n Wild-Party with 6 Glitters


  • Revlon-Winter Skies w/ Sally Hanson-Celeb City

Luv yall!
