Sanchez Says... Day Date Nails

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

It's time for another edition of Sanchez Says... and this time, she requested nails for a Day Date. I think of something sort of fun but delicate so I decided to do a saran wrap mani!

I used 3 Nails Inc Polishes: Lexington Gardens (purple), Mayfair Lane (blush), and Soho Place (minty teal).

Starting with a base of Lexington Gardens, I used 2 coats and let that dry for a minute. Then, I blobbed Mayfair Lane and Soho Place onto the nails and used a piece of Saran Wrap to smoosh the colors together. Simple as that! Top coat and done. Boom. You've been nail arted. These Nails Inc bottles are not easy to pose with, by the way :-p

Makeup Monday: Lorac Unzipped Cheek Palette & Alter Ego Set

Hey guys!

Nothing To Disclose

Welcome to the first evah Makeup Monday! As you know, if you follow me on Twitter or Instagram, I'm really delving into the world of makeup and enjoying the beautiful things and I thought it would be fun to do a makeup post on the blog once in a while! So Makeup Mondays are here!!

For the first Makeup Monday, let's look at the Ulta exclusive Lorac Unzipped Cheek Palette & Alter Ego lipstick set. This set is $30 and includes the cheek palette with 4 blushes and a full sized Alter Ego lipstick. I love my Unzipped palettes and so I kind of felt this was an essential, heehee.

The Alter Ego lipstick is called Girl Next Door and is a coral pink shade. This is a matte finish, which I love.

From first swatch, these blushes seem very pigmented, though a bit powdery in the swatch, particularly Unashamed (the bright pink). I know that looks like a crazy scary pink but I think it will be sooo lovely in the summer, especially with a bit of a tan!

As this is just a swatch post, I cannot attest to the lasting power of these yet. I will say that Unapologetic looks like the color I will get the least use out of, but then again, you never know!

I am happy I bought this set and if you like Lorac like I do, I would hurry because it is Limited Edition and only at Ulta!

And don't forget to shop through Ebates to earn cash back!!

Are you excited for Makeup Mondays??

Talk to you soon!

Twin Tuesday with Maria of NailsMadeSimple

Hey guys! Hopefully everyone is doing well after the storms last night! We got some snow, yuck! But I can't complain too much, as I wasn't having to worry about a hurricane! :-/

Today's post is a Polish Twin post with Maria of NailsMadeSimple. I posted a photo on Instagram after I received two of the Color Club Halo Hues and she suggested we be polish twins. Since I love Maria, I said yes :-)

So, this is Color Club Halo-Graphic, of the Halo Hues collection. I used two coats but I probably could have used one if I had been prepared to use one.

I'm gonna start with the Flash picture so YOU CAN SEE ALL OF THE AMAZING!!!!!!

So so pretty! This isn't usually my sort of color but it's nice for a change :-)

Be sure to check out Maria's post to see her awesome beautiful nails!

Talk to you soon!
