ULTA!!!

 Look at all these pretties!

Holy crap guys, I went a little crazy today (for my standards). Ulta had buy 2, get 2 free. So of course I bought 4. Then I found one of my favorite colors ever, so I had to get that. Then it kept snowballing from there. PLUS, my cousin picked up the China Glaze Hunger Games colors Riveting and Smoke and Ashes for me. Score!! :)

From left to right:

Sally Hanson | Ring-a-Ding!, Ulta | Blue Streak, Bam-Blue-zled, Plum Perfect, Indigo-go Girl, Goddess, Oh!, Scene Steel-er, High Roller, Revlon | Whimsical, Orly | Oui, and NYC Matte and Quick Dry topcoats (I got those two at Wal-Mart).

Can I just say that I have seen Whimsical swatched a dozen times, and I was all meh. It was OK, but wasn’t getting too excited about it. Until I saw it at Ulta today. They had like 5 of them. And it is AWESOME.

I’m really excited about Ring-a-Ding!, Whimsical, and Oui. I’ve been wanting Oui for a while now…:)

I also bought this today:

Tomorrow I am doing a fresh mani for me, and my mom too! I can’t wait to try these puppies out!

Thanks for reading!

Tangerine Tango

I got some awesome stuff at Sephora as a "Yay, I didn't totally bomb my interview and I may actually get a job!" present to myself. Along with that came an Iced Latte from Starbucks. :)


So, Sephora currently has a huge collection of products that are influenced by Pantone's Color of the Year.

Tangerine Tango.

I LOVE IT.

Here's what I got:

 Urban Decay LipLove Honey Infused Lip Therapy in FailBait (This isn't exactly Tangerine Tango inspired, but it IS orangey)

Sephora Lip Gloss Set

Each was $12.

Can you see the beautiful shimmers?

 Luckily there's a little brush and mirror, and a little pot for mixing colors!

 This stuff looks, feels, and smells amazing!

Do you think I left Sephora without buying polish?

NOPE.

 I bought this. I couldn't resist. NO MORE POLISH for a while.

Sephora for OPI | Sparkle-tacular!

I love Sally!

Hi kids! I just did a new tape/stripe mani and pedi, but I'm unable to get good pictures, so I will just share with you my recent purchases:

I went to Sally's on Saturday and this is what I chose:

China Glaze | Diva Bride

China Glaze | Sun Worshipper

China Glaze | Pool Party

Finger Paints | Tiffany Imposter

China Glaze | Turned Up Turquoise

I have been on the prowl for the perfect nude. Every time I pick one out, it is either too pink, too white, too brown, too peachy. CG Diva Bride may be my new go-to. I used it tonight and so far I think it looks gorgeous. We will see what it looks like tomorrow.


I have been wanting a minty-blue for a while now (ever since I ordered one from Avon and they sent me a discontinued light blue instead! It wasn't worth the hassle of returning for $2.99). I haven't tried out Tiffany Imposter yet but I have a few interesting ideas for nail art/stamping to go with it. BTW, Tiffany Imposter is Sally's color of the week (or maybe month?) and you get a free China Glaze base coat. OF COURSE, they were out when I was there, so I could have gotten a rain check but I live too far away to drive all that way for a base coat. ALSO, China Glaze colors were on sale 2 for $10.


And of course I bought THREE neons! I'm not a huge fan of neons because 1) they are usually matte, which I don't care for in a neon polish because I think it should be loud and shiny, and 2) they require a base color and lots of color coats. But for some reason I could not resist these. Probably because it is so warm here and bright colors look kickin' with a tan.


I have a fresh new mani and pedi to share but my little camera takes horrid pics at night so I will wait until daylight tomorrow. It didn't turn out quite like I wanted, and I had to coat some Sally Hanson Disco Ball on it to save it, but I think it will still look awesome.


There may be a trip to Sephora tomorrow afternoon, depending on how my interview goes...wish me luck!

Thanks for reading!

XOXO
