NOTD

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!! My apologies for not posting in a few days. So here is a couple NOTD from this week :) 



First I had Revlon 250 Flirt and used Essie Marshmallow for the heart :)


Than I tried doing something different and used Essie Turquoise & Caicos and China Glaze Street Chic.  The lines aren't perfect since I just free handed it.  








 Used O.P.I German Collection: Suzi & The 7 Dusseldorfs and Nein! Nein! Nein! Ok Fine!

















I used Chine Glaze Recycle (Gray) Essie E-Nuff is E-nuff (coral color) and Revlon 340 Stunning








Lastly, I would like to share a small purchase I made over the weekend. We were shopping at Garden Ridge in Schaumburg and while walking through the "As seen on tv" aisle, 
I came across this:



It was $9.99 so I figured I would just give it a shot and see how it was. 
I just purchased it yesterday and have only tried the Filing ones and so far so good. I just don't know how long the pieces will last. Still haven't used anything else...but when I do, I will definitely let you know how it all works.




                                                






Well, thats it for now. Hope everyone has a wonderful day and thanks so much for taking time out of your day to read my blog. Happy Painting! :) xoxoxox

Walgreen's Mini Haul

Hope everyone has had a wonderful week! I recently went to Walgreen's for a quick errand and of course found myself in the makeup and nail polish area. LOL I ended up buying a few polishes that normally I don't buy or have ever used just so that I could try them out and see how they are.
I purchased (from left to right) Revlon 250 Flirt, Revlon 471 Fashionista, Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear 480 The Real Teal Deal, Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear 120 Hot Magenta.
Revlon was $4.99 a bottle and the Sally Hansen was 2 for $5.00. Which compared to OPI, ESSIE and ORLY..those are steals!! :)
I also purchased Essie's Total Nail Treatment for $9.50 which is a bit pricey but it serves as a base and top coat.












I already tried the Revlon Fashionista with the Revlon Flirt:

I do like the polishes but after a day of wearing it I have noticed that some nails have already chipped :/
As far as the heart, it is not too difficult to accomplish. You just take a piece of paper and drip a bit of nail polish onto the paper...let it sit for 30-60 seconds (try not to use quick drying nail polish) than take a tooth pick and make two dots on your nail...grab a little more polish and than just drag down from the dots to connect and make a heart..
Probably not the best instructions but check out this site if you need more help:

Well hope everyone has a wonderful day! :) And thanks again for taking time out of your day to read my blog! Happy Painting! :)

NOTD

Today I have on Essie Sexy Divide (purple base color) and than Orly's Can't be tamed which is the purple glitter over it. The glitter was on super clearance at Sally's and now I know why..LOL it was wayyy too clumpy and the clear base kept dripping everywhere. So I did the best I could..but this polish will be coming off tonight. lol.
Thanks for checking out my pics! Happy Painting! :)
