Lush Angels On Bare Skin Revie

Hi!
So today I am reviewing this amazing product that has forever changed my skin. This is Angels On Bare Skin by Lush
LUSH is a organic/vegan cosmetic line. I am so in love with lush. I'm addicted. So I will have a bunch of reviews coming of their products soon. So basically Angels on Bare skin is a face wash for normal skin. The main Ingrediants are kaolin clay for deep cleaning, ground almonds foe a gentle exfoliant, and rose and lavender for soothing. The smell is very herbally. Its quite hard to describe. After one week my skin has toned down in redness and becone noticeably softer. They cut how much you want depending on what you ask for in the stores.
I so recommend checking out lush and all of their products

My First Indie!!!

Hey Fellow addicts,
I miss you guys, I hate that college has kept me so busy.  SO anyway, I bought my very first indie polish. I bought Suess and Peanut Butter & Jelly from Pam who's is the creator of Whimiscal Idea's. I love her whole collection. She recently just came out with Some "Hallowhimsies" Check it out. Heres the link: https://www.facebook.com/whimsicalideasbypam. In her about me she tells you how to order. The shipping was unbelievably fast. I mean I got an invoice after like 1 day and got my actual polish in a little over a week. So enough chit chat and down to the polish.
OMG. The formula was literally like butter. It applied so well. I wore Peanut Butter and Jelly for two weeks and barely had any tip wear. So I'm going to post some photos now so you can see the beautiful polish.
Also sorry for the nubbys and getting a little photo heavy.
Here is two coats of Peanut Butter and Jelly :))

OPI Into the Night

So I got the entire Spiderman collection from my Dad today and I picked the pretty blue- into the night as my first color to try. And as much as I love the color and formula (which was amazing) this polish chipped super easily. I've only been wearing it for a few hours and my tips are already chipped. Here's the only pic I as d able to take before the chipping.

Penny Talk - Essie

Hi Ladies,
So I know I've been so lacking in the post department. I'm so sorry. So I was actually able to sit down and make a swatch post for you tonight.. I am currently wearing Penny Talk by Essie. I love this polish. Its so cute! I'm not a huge fan of metallics but I definitely will be wearing this again.  The formula was just a tad iffie.. I had some dragging problems and it dried almost too fast. I wasn't able to spread it as nicely because it dried so fast.  In the end the color is amazing and I will definitely look past the no so nice formula! I hope you guys check this out!!

So for today's Mani I am wearing OPI If You Moust you Moust from the Minnie Mouse collection. The formula for both polishes ( top coat and OPI) were wonderful. They went on smoothly! So here's my Mani

UH Gameday nails!

So on my vacay, I found a brand that I don't have near me, called Spoiled. Which is a very pocket friendly brand by the way. So I snatches up two colors that screamed at me from the rack. I needed a nice red and glitter mix for when I go back to University. And since our colors are Red and Black. I loved this. And the formula was to die for. Very smooth.
Base Coat: I Tripped on The Red carpet
- 2 coats to be opaque
-very smooth

Glitter : Shuffle the Deck
- smooth
- but I had to fish just a little
- 1 coat with touch ups for picture

It's My Year OPI

Hey guys! So my vacation is going great! I'm having a blast, but since i am gone I thought id try to throw in a post.
This is OPI IT'S MY YEAR!
It's more of a fall polish than summer but my roommate had it in her stash and i knew I needed to at least try it out!
It's a purple/gold duochrome with buckets of fine gold shimmer. It's very memorizing. I also added a blurry photo so you could see how glittery it is. Tell me what you think :)

Another Glitter Mani!

Hi Ladies,
So I loved my Milani Diamond Dazzle polish soooo much that I couldn't resist layering it over another color of mine for a beautiful glitter-acious (I totally made that word up) Manicure. I layered it over China Glaze Kiwi-Cool-Ada, which is a neon lime green. I had to use to layers of China Glaze fast foward top coat to smooth this out since the Milani Polish dries a little textured. I hope you enjoy!

NOTD Glitter Mani :)

Hello Lovelys,
I'm doing this post from my mobile app, so it might look a little funny. I am going to be going on Vacation to Oklahoma for a week to visit my college roommate and her family! I might be Mia for a few days. But I promise to try to squeeze in a post.

Ok so now down to business.
I bought a new pretty glitter today . I bought Milani diamond dazzle. It's almost like a shimmer/glitter. It's very fine. Just by looking at the bottle I see golds, purples, greens, silvers and blues. It's so dazzling, the name is spot on. I just keep turning the bottle over and staring at it. I layered it over Fingerpaints michealtangelo, which is my go to orange because it's just fantastic and I'll do a review on it eventually. I hope you guys like. Tell me what you think of my layering combo!


All photos are in the shade except the last one! It's in sunlight! :)))

I Just Spotted the Lizard OPI

Hello Lovlies,
So In my last post, I mentioned that I bought a beautiful polish from the OPI Spiderman collection. I bought Just Spotted the Lizard.
This is a beautiful polish and I loved it so much that I even put it on my toes!
Just Spotted the Lizard is a gold/green duochrome with hints of a blue if the light hits the nail in just the right angle. It also has gold shimmer in it. I love this so much, I can't say how much I love this polish. It's definitely one of my favorites.  It'll be a go to polish. The application was divine. It was pretty opaque in one coat, but I went ahead and did two just to be sure.

Here is Two coats of Just Spotted the Lizard with a top coat of China Glaze Fast Foward. (Which I'll eventually get around to reviewing)



All of these pictures are in low light, but they are pretty accurate. I'll update with a picture in the sunlight eventually though. :)

Thanks for stopping by.
Tell me whatcha think

OPI Ballet Today

Hello,
So I was at a local department store when I came across a few OPI displays, which, was a shock since I was in a department store. They had the Spiderman and Ballet collections. So I couldn't resist. I did limit myself to only 1 of each. I'll have a swatch of my spiderman one soon. Today I am showing you OPI Care to Danse? This is a beautiful lilac  tinted sheer polish. Its so sheer that I ended up using 4 coats on most fingers and 5 on a few.  The polish was awesome to apply. Not thick or thin. Just the right formula.  It built up beautifully which was awesome. I can see myself wearing this polish to a job interview which is awesome cause normally I just clean up my nails and put a clear coat on for those since I like to look clean and neat. So I'll stop babbling and show you the pictures.
