Zoya Swatches!

So I finally got my package from Zoya! Took longer than I thought but everything was there :) This was a promo that Zoya was having where you buy one item on their website and you get Caitlin and Dove for free! How could I resist?!

From left to right:
Kotori, Caitlin, & Dove
swatches!




I didn't know what to expect from this color when I first got it, but it's a beautiful fine shimmer glitter polish!
It's looks a bit darker on my nail eh?


Midnight in NY by Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure
Can you see the small shimmer fine rainbow glitters!? It's hard to see :(

A coat of Kotori on top of Midnight in NY
For the first polish, Kotori, I put on three coats! But if you use a black polish first & then Kotori on top, it'll give you the same effect as three coats!

That's all the Zoya swatches for now. Talk to you guys later! :)

Waterfall & Fishtail Braid

Happy Happy Tuesday Everyone!

This post won't be on nails today, sorry! It'll be on a hair style that I really like! If you guys follow me on youtube, you would know that I also do hair tutorials! But I'm not the best at it. && this look does not have a tutorial on my YT. sorry!

Went to a BBQ yesterday & did my bff's hair! :)






So that is the final look! It also looks nice because she has highlights in her hair :D Hope you all like it! :)

Hello to all you paypal-ers out there haha !
So, I suddenly feel compelled to do this.

is refreshing in this day and age.


But, she needs some mulaaaaa lol !
I know its hard to spare $ nowadays
but it doesnt have to be a lot : )
It can be less than a lipgloss haha !
I was trying to think of a way to
help her out ! If you are an online shopper
you probably have paypal. I know not
everyone does but hopefully you do !
Please help her out even by just sending
5 bucks or something ! If lots of people
send even small amounts it could really help her !
If you can spare more that would be awesome !
It will have immediate benefits for her
trip that she has been waiting centuries for : )
Im sure you all have had or have a dream.
This is hers...

If you send something let me know in the comments
or on youtube...let me know your email address
associated with your paypal account and you
will be automatically entered into a random draw
for some cute asian goodies. You know the sorts
of things I tend to buy...it will be that kind of thing : )
I will post up the items a bit later. I will

OUT OF THIS WORLD - MATTE

I decided to use China Glaze Matte Magic over my yesterday's NOTD. The base is Ruby Kisses topped with NYX Enchanted Forest.









Then for a little fun and because I wanted to use my new bundle monster plates, I stamped a green star on my nails.

CHEESE TOES


Dinky says: HATERS GONNA HATE!


STRAIGHT KILLING IT!!!
Dinky is rocking Ruby Kisses HD - Cheezums with OPI black crackle on top. When I showed my BF he said she had Cheese Toes - lol! Which, that is a perfect name for this mani.

Like I said on FB - Dinky is slayin' all the other bitches in the neighborhood - and by "bitches" I really do mean all the other female dogs! :)

NOTD - OUT OF THIS WORLD!

This is my NOTD today and think it's pretty cool. I did a 3 coats of Ruby Kisses Pure Black, a black jelly polish and then added two top coats of NYX Enchanted Forest, a chunky green glitter. It just has a spaced out look to it that I'm really diggin'








In a previous post someone asked me what that sparkly green thing is, it is my phone cover. I meant to reply back to you and forgot, sorry!

RUBY KISSES HD - LIME GREEN WITH ENVY

Lime Green with Envy is a neon green polish that has a jelly finish to it. I did 3 coats. This polish is so bright and shiny, a perfect summer shade.







NAIL POLISH ROOM UPDATE

Well, my nail polish room is coming along nicely. Last night I really worked on getting the room laid out how I want it. My original idea didn't work because of where the tv needed to be hooked up. So I switched it up and moved things around.

My idea is I would really like to paint the walls a lighter grey color with a darker grey for the windows and base boards. I have visions of a black and grey color scheme with punches of a brighter color, like turquoise.


I am going to paint this little table the tv is on black.
I also have some special shelves being built that will hang on this wall. They are black.



The corner with the boxes are my craft stuff. Plan on going through that and getting that stuff out of that corner soon.


My babies favorite spot. Dinky loves to be in here with me, you will always find her right there. If she had it her way she would be in my lap, but it's to hard to paint nails with her there - sorry Dinky!!
My chair needs to be recovered, but not sure how to go about doing that one just yet, and painting it black.



This is where the "magic" happens, lol. I do my sister's and mom's nails quite a bit, so I have a chair for them.
My plans are to recover this chair and paint it black.
I also plan on painting my desk black too.




Here is my nail polish stash. Both on top of the table and underneath.



Here is how my nail polish room started:




Ok - now for those who made it all the way through, I have some awesome news to share with you. A while ago I mentioned having a name my nail polish room contest. It's time ladies!! I will have more details coming, but let me just say the prize is going to be pretty cool - so get your thinking caps on!!
