Retro Inspired-Neutral Color Blocked NOTM

MY LOVES!
I feel like I haven't posted on here in AGES! I've been so busy with school and work, but it feels good to post something again. The weather here has been making me VERY happy lately! Too bad I'm always stuck in doors. =/

Color blocking is so in for this season! The whole 70's retro theme is coming back, and I wanted to portray that on my nails. I used neutral tones in order to make this look a little bit more wearable.

Purple and Pink Leopard NOTM

MY LOVES!
I feel like I haven't posted a blog in FOREVER long! But really, it's been about 5-6 days? Anyway, I'm back with another NOTM POST. I asked my BF how I should do my nails, so he googled ideas for me and this is what he came up with. So I did it. =) This is my version of spring leopard! I also did a tutorial on it, so do check it out! <3

Cupcake Nails

Hello, Loves!
I feel like i haven't blogged in FOREVER! I have been so busy lately, especially because I just took on a second job! This past week was my first week at my new job and I love it! But between working 2 jobs and studying like a mad woman, my immune system definitely took a hit and now...I'm a little sick. =/ For the first time in a LONG time, I actually have a whooole weekend off! I was planning on doing some OOTD posts and what not, but I've been stuck at home in my pj's looking like poop. lol! So since I've been home, I've been watching a LOT of television. I was watching the Food Network for HOURS today, and one of the shows I watched was CUPCAKE WARS! I LOOOVE that show! That's how I got inspired to do my cupcake nails. =)

I've never done cupcake nails before, but I think they turned out okay? teehee! Hope you lovelies are having an amazing weekend!! 

See you in my next post <3

SHATTER + New Hair Product

Hello My Loves!
Oh my! Long time no blog! I've been so busy with school+work! I've also been spending a lot of time with my old college friends! (sheesh, does that make me sound old or what?) But it was so good to see them and to catch up on LIFE! But anyway! I'm back and I promise to be more consistent with my blogging.

I finally got my hands on the OPI Shatter Polish! Thanks to my good friend, Nikole (hey girl! i know ur reading this!!). I had already given up on finding it, but she text me and told me that they had one left at the salon she was at and asked if I wanted it! So of course, I said yesss! And I'm so happy that I have it.

I also purchased new shampoo and conditioner today. My hair is so BLEHCK and dry! I also shed like a freaking BEAST! I feel like I'm gonna go bald one day. So I decided to give this Loreal Sulfate Free shampoo and conditioner a try.

Obviously, these aren't the two that exactly go together, but I was determined to try it out. If any of you have tried this out, or any other sulfate free shampoo for that matter, let me know what you think about it! I will definitely be doing a follow up review once I've used this for quite some time.

Until next time, I'll see you in my next blog! <3

Valentine Colored NOTM

Hello lovelies! I have been doing my nails like crazy this past week! Since I recently hauled a ton of new polishes, any bit of down time that I have, I use it to either Zumba (which is SO FUN!) or do my nails! Lol! I think this past week alone, I changed my polish 3 times. I think that may be a record for me. Amongst my friends, I am definitely notorious for always changing my polish, but that most I would do is once every week. But three times?! That may be a bit much...but oH WELL!

I decided to have Valentine-themed nails again, at least with the colors. I tried to do some hearts again, but failed miserably, so I kept it simple with a 2-toned color design.

This was the nail design that I had right before.

See you lovelies in my next post! <3

Nail Polish Haul + NOTM

Hello, loves! This weekend was SO fun! I FINALLY hung out with my girlfriends! I haven't seen them it what seemed to be YEARS! But it wasn't really that long, just a couple months, which is still super long! But it was such a relaxing weekend. We did typical girl stuff. Went to a lounge in L.A. on Friday night, had a slumber party, woke up on Saturday and went shopping, got massages, and had dinner. I had a BLAST!

When we went shopping, my friend, Eliza, took us to the best kept secret for nail supplies. You are gonna go crazy when I tell you how much I paid for these OPI, China Glaze, and Essie nail polishes. My OPI polishes were 3 for $12, Essie polishes were $3, and China Glaze polishes were $2.50! My grand total for 8 nail polishes = $30.50. INSANE, RIGHT? Seriously ladies, if ur anything like me, and are always on the hunt for a bargain, I suggest trying to find a nail supply store. This place that I went to looked like a mom&pop store where all the local manicurists went to buy their stuff. They had EVERYTHING you could think of in there, not just polishes. It almost seemed like a whole-sale type place. I was just so overwhelmed by all the colors! Thank goodness I had my girls with me, otherwise, I woulda bought 100 polishes! =P

I was in a spring mood, so for the most part, all the colors that I chose were really bright. I LOVE all the colors that I got. I'm super excited to use all these colors!

Names of polishes are listed below each photo. I also added a swatch so you can see how the color turns out in real life.

Do You Lilac It? (1 coat)

Mod-Ern Girl (1 coat)

Manicurist of Seville (1 coat)

Java Mauve-a (2 coats)

Jade is the New Black (1 coat)

Gargantuan Green Grape (2 coats)

Sew Psyched (2 coats)

Sunset Sail (2 coats)

Now onto my Nails of the moment! I LOVE this shade of green by Essie. This is my FIRST Essie polish and I am SO happy with the way it turned out. The consistency is amazing and I highly recommend Essie to everyone!

I hope you enjoyed this post! I also hope my little bargain tip helped! I think it's time for me to buy a nail polish rack so that I can properly display my polishes. I have a feeling that I will be returning to that place VERY soon!

Me & my girls at Boiling Crab. Love these girls like NO OTHER! (Thanks for not laughing at me!)

Thanks for reading, loves! See you in my next post!
