31 Day Challenge: Day 1

The Day 1 challenge is RED nails so I decided to go with something that may turn a few heads. China Glaze Raspberry Festival:




It's a two-coater, and it's very sparkly. :) I love this. I had actually been wanting to wear this for a while, and had never gotten the chance, so this is just perfect! I wish it were sunny though, so I would be able to see it at it's best before I take it off tomorrow. :) All for now!

Thanks for reading!

The "31 Day Challenge!"

Hey everyone, 

So, I've been reading around and I saw something called the "31 Day Challenge." Now, I'm not usually one to decline a challenge so I decided I'm gonna give it a shot. The rules are very simple. You have to do a fresh manicure everyday for 31 days according to the guidelines below:

I may not be able to post everyday, but I will definitely do 31 manicures. I'm so excited about this! :D

Difficulties

Hey everyone!


I am extremely sorry about the lack of posts going on lately! My camera has been dead, and I need a new lightbox. Therefore, I can't take any pictures. :( Until I get this fixed I'll need you guys to hang on and not hate me too much while I don't post. I have a TON, and I mean a TON, of posts lined up for when I return, from my blogging break and from the vacation I am taking come Monday. You can expect:

A Birthday Haul
A Sally's Haul
Some new makeup looks I'm trying
Vacation Nails
Major Swatches
A Walmart Haul
Amazing Hair Products I've found recently
A guest post
Some Hair Tools I've acquired

Well, that's all for now. See you when I get back!

 Thanks for reading,

There's a first time for everything...




What, you thought these were real?

Random EOTD: Princess Jamsine Inspired!

Wow, I really haven't posted in forever! Well, I'm just going to delve right in. Let's go!

For this look I used:

~BH Cosmetics 120 Palette 1st Edition
~Revlon Liquid Eye Liner
~Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eyeliner- Zero
~ Benefit They're Real! Mascara
~Urban Decay Eyeshadow Potion
~Some of my own brushes

I was inspired by this:








and it's not a very good picture, which is upsetting to me because it really is a nice look. If you want the tutorial here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/user/xsparkage#p/c/9D064FCEEA645DA0/4/n0A_EBXlykc
Her name is Leesha, and I highly recomend you watch her videos, or visit her blog, www.xsparkage.com :)

And now onto my interpretation..





Mine's not nearly as good as hers is, but I'd tried! xD Oh well. Can't win 'em all. I do like the way my lips turned though...

This was...
Mary Kay Nourishine Lip Gloss in #TH02- Pink Diamonds. It's just a really pretty medium pink gloss. :)

Well, I hope you liked my little attempt.. It's not very good, but whatever. I'll try some other time. Lol. :)
