China Glaze Techno Teal + Sally Hansen Grey Area

July 30, 2011

WOW! This polish was amazing... I kept staring at its gorgeousness ALL day!!! You just HAVE to click on that top photo above to enlarge it...You can really see how awesome this polish is. This is two coats of China Glaze Techo Teal. Of course, I can't have a manicure without adding a little something extra (even though this polish didn't need it). I stamped it with a leave print or at least I think it is a leave or feather print. I am not really sure....But I used Sally Hansen Grey Area. I chose that color because I didn't want a stamp that popped. I wanted one that kind of blended in. So what do you think?

Some Recent off the wall Makeup looks from me!!

Sorry I have been M.I.A... its summer and i have 3 kids..that explains it all!..lol they also got a new pool so I have been busy playing lifeguard :)

But i have managed to sneak in a few makeup looks over the past few weeks...they are all contest entries though but still im very happy with how they turned out...the one most important thing i love about makeup which is...the freedom to express myself

I know i have been lacking on the nail designs which im truly sorry about..Ive just been on a makeup kick lately but I promise my next video tutorial on my youtube will be a nail art tutorial :)

But anyways here are the makeup looks i have done...nothing wearable..lol

I need to take a break from makeup from awhile to give my poor face a rest..lol...but I m loving my creations.There for several months i didnt touch my makeup as i had so inspiration then it just hit me one day!

Hope you all enjoyed seeing my looks and would love to hear what you have to say :)

as always thank you for stopping by and checking out my blog ** HUGS**

Nail Life Nail Revitalizer + Haken Cuticle Oil

July 26, 2011

Today I thought I would share with you the nail strengthener and cuticle oil I use. I got both of these brands for the first time about a month ago from Sally Beauty Supply. The cuticle oil is called Haken Essential Fragrance Cuticle Oil. The main ingredients are Vitamin A, E, &D, oils of safflower, apricot kernel, canola, and sweet almond. I have tried both the Mango and the Tropical Blend. Both smell wonderful, and I have noticed a big difference in my cuticles. I will be buying this again.

The nail treatment, Nail Life Nail Revitalizer, is formaldehyde free, and it is supposed to work well for problem nails that are weak, split easily, cracked, thin, soft, or peeling. At first I thought I liked this treatment until I noticed that I am still getting tiny cracks in my nails. My nails do feel stronger though, but that could also be from some of the polishes I wear. I don't think I will be buying this again when I run out.

Has anyone tried these two brands before?

10 Minute Manicure: Wet n' Wild Blue Moon

July 24, 2011

This was a really quick manicure that I did. I think it looks like snake skin. I stamped on the print on my bare nail with Wet n' Wild Blue Moon. I messed up my pointer finger when I was doing clean up with the polish remover.. haha... I hate when I do that. Anyways, I like posting the occasional super quick nail design for people that don't have much time for their nails. All of these pictures were taken inside no flash. It was gloomy outside that day. So what do you think?

Flower Nail Design

July 22, 2011

You can click on any photo to enlarge it .

This design is LOUD, but then again I like loud. I think the dried flowers were a bit large, but still cute. I have many, many pictures for you today. I have pictures of the base coat (Sinful Colors Unicorn--3 coats), the stamping polish (GAP Wine), and pictures without the dried flower. So what do you think? Should I have stopped at just the stamped nail and eliminated the flower?

My cuticles are a little red because I just cut my cuticles and applied cuticle oil.
