31 Day Challenge: Day 8

Hey everyone. 

I've been home sick for two days now, and I figured it was time to do this post. I'm too lazy for my own good. It's not going to be a very exciting post, but hey, I'm sick. 

Day 8 is METALLIC nails and here's what I used:

Mr. Wrong is a mostly grey/purple base foil with blue and gold flakes mixed in. It's super sparkly when the sun hits it, and I could wear this all winter. I get tons of compliments when I wear it. A definite must-buy. Hard Candy nail polishes are available at Walmart. That's the only place I've seen them. Until tomorrow! I'm really excited for the next day. I'm doing the mani tonight! :)

Quick Looks: Piiiiink!

I've decided to go ahead and start doing makeup looks, because I love them. I'm starting a new series, "Quick Looks" for the things I do for school, or real quick one day. The first one is very simple and easy to achieve:

All this is is liquid eyeliner, mascara, and bold pink lips.

Eyes:

Urban Decay Liquid Liner in Perversion

Benefit They're Real! Mascara

Lips:

EOS Lip Balm Sphere

Revlon Just Bitten Lipstain in Passion

Covergirl Lip Perfection Lipstick in Spellbound

A random Japanese lipgloss, that I have no idea how to say, or type or anything. it says Jewel Fever on it so... Here's what it looks like:

It's just a medium pink gloss, with gold shimmer flecks in it. Very basic, very pretty. I like it! Thanks mom! :) All for now.

And now for something completely unrelated...

So the other day I was shopping with my mom at Kroger and decided I'd like to try and dye some of my hair purple! I found some temporary hair dye and took it home to try. This is what I got:

  This is Streekers Temporary Hair Color, in purple. It comes in a little cone shaped bottle, and it has a doe-foot applicator. It's immediately very watery, and kind of runny. The way you apply it to your hair is just brushing it on, like with lipgloss. This is the color I got:

Purple. Now, I have very dark brown hair, so this would definitely work better on blonde hair, or highlights. I had to really pack it on to get this color. This WILL stain your hands, and anything else it touches while the dye is wet. Trust me. I'd know...

 ...hands...

 ...forehead..

...the back of my neck...

Anything. All in all, it gets an iffy review from me. I wouldn't use this again, but it's perfect if you only want quick hair color for one night! It washes out after the first shampoo.

Back in the Saddle- 31 Day Challenge: Day 7

So sorry! I've had a busy last few weeks, and haven't had enough time to sit down and do my nails. But it's a Sunday night, and I have plenty of time, so lets dive right in!

Today is Day 6, BLACK and WHITE nails, and I came up with this:

 This is OPI Mummy Knows Best, and Konad Special Black Polish stamped with the Bundle Monster plate bm20, which I neglected to take a picture of. :(  Anyway, I knew I wanted to do stripes, but I was watching a eye tutorial on YouTube today that inspired me to do rhinestones on them! I only did the rhinestones on my ring finger though, as an accent. The last picture is a close-up. Hope you like!

On a completely different, and slightly more serious note, I've really been getting into makeup lately, and I want to know if you think I should start doing makeup looks, reviews and such on here. Should I? I think it would be cool, and I think it would also give me a chance to practice a skill I'd really like to achieve. I already have a ton of makeup in my possession, so maybe part by part I could swatch it? I'm not sure, something to think about. It's really been weighing on my mind lately.

Another thing that has been weighing on my mind is that nobody ever voices their opinions! I don't know if you know this, but I can track how many people view my blog daily, and in what countries. It would appear that people in Europe and Asia have viewed my blog! Europe and Asia! Why don't you people comment or something? I'm a fourteen year old girl, and I get excited very easily. That would make my day! You have no idea how happy I get when I see someone I've never spoken to follow, or comment, or even view! So please, make yourselves known. I'm not asking you to follow, (even though that would probably make me pass out,) but when I ask questions, like above, I really do want to know your opinions. Think about it?

EDIT: For the record, people in the US, Brazil, Sweden, Canada, Russia, Thailand, Austria, Australia, Egypt and Chile have viewed my blog this week. Yep. I wasn't lying, I really can see you.

Thanks for reading.

31 Day Challenge: Day 6

Hello! 

This is my second post tonight and I am feeling pretty good! Today is Day 6, VIOLET nails, and I chose an oldie, but goodie: China Glaze IDK:

close-up of the amazing holo-goodness

:) I love holos! They are super pretty. Although it is storming at the moment and I probably wont be able to fully enjoy this, I still like it. This is from the OMG! collection and in my opinion it's one of the better ones. The light holos look better to me. They seem to show up more... This was two coats and topcoat. Sorry for the strange pictures but I was trying to get different angles to show more of the shimmer. See you tomorrow, (I promise this time!)

Thanks for reading!

31 Day Challenge: Day 5

I know, I know, I'm a bad blogger. 

I really tried to post yesterday. But it was 10:30 again, and I was insanely tired and I hadn't even taken pictures yet so it would have been at least another hour and I just wasn't up to that. I'll try to make up for lost time and post twice tonight, but if I don't get a chance, don't get even angrier. Day 5 is BLUE nails and I chose a new polish I hadn't worn yet, Orly Stone Cold: 

close-up of the wonderful shimmer :)

Not the best pictures in the world, but hey, at least I have pictures! This was SO COOL! It's a blue jelly base stuffed with little shimmer plates. As you added more coats, (I did two here) it gets deeper and more complex and the extra coats add so much depth! It's mesmerizing. I thought I would try some crackle over it, so I did my thumbs in black and white crackle. I only have a picture of the white though, because the black looked weird and you could barely see it. White was much better:  

YES! I used China Glaze Lightning Bolt. Well, that's all for this post! I have Day 6 coming for you! Yay!

Thanks for reading!

31 Day Challenge: Day 4

Once again, I am a horrible person. 

It's not good of me to be posting this at 10:30 at night. I really do feel bad. For today's Day 4 it's GREEN nails and I wanted to do pastel green, because I think it makes my hands look pretty, and tan. I used China Glaze Re-Fresh Mint: 

Please try to ignore the smudge in my pointer finger. I don't know how these things happen to me... This was 2 coats, and surprisingly this went on very smoothly. It was a bit on the watery side, but other than that no complaints! See you on Day 5!

Thanks for reading!
