New colors from A-Daz-L

My favorite local beauty supply store always has the best selection. Excited to pick up my 18k gold OPI polish this weekend. Could have gotten a bottle yesterday but ordered tomorrow never dies to go with it:)

I did however pickup Zoya Lara which I used yesterday for pink Wednesday then I grabbed OPI On Her Majesty's Secret Service which is a greenish, gray sparkle polish with specks of many different color glitter. Looks nice going to swatch this weekend between wreath making:). Then I grabbed OPI Unfor-Greta-Bly Blue from the German line. Even though I plan to get tomorrow never dies which is also blue I couldn't resist this dark cobalt blue. I love blue shades and this is a great fall blue, dark but has a pretty shimmer.

I will do some swatches later going to Ulta today to see what new stuff they have and check out some of the winter stuff that is starting to come out slowly. May end up with a couple more polishes and some other stuff:) Also after I ship my Etsy sale I am going to Michael's to get some more supplies for my fall and winter wreaths. Going to post a peek at one of my winter Christmas designs with this post. Let me know what you think, I still bees to add leaves, pine cones and the bow:). I can't wait to show off my newest creation this weekend had this brilliant idea=).  Coming soon
Hope everyone is having a great week

Pink Wednesday second week

Been so busy but did not forget pink Wednesday.

I actually painted my nails last night before bed with china glaze exquisite and then Sally Hansen fuschia power but it got messed up guess I didn't let it dry long enough:(. I ended up painting them again with Zoya Lara. I had stamped my nails last night with the Sally Hansen bright pink but today didn't have time was rushing.

Going to paint my toes tonight cause Saturday doing a breast cancer walk in Ft. Lauderdale and then have an event I am making cupcakes and bracelets for along with a small candy station my company colors are hot pink an black with zebra so my aprons are perfect I got a pink ribbon pin to attach to the apron for the occasion and plan to put in two pink hair extensions for the event.

Please if you haven't entered my second contest there is still time it ends October 15! I sent out the prizes claimed from the first one last week except for one which is going to another country that one will go out this Friday:).

Hope everyone is having a great week. Off to ship my first etsy order and make a Christmas wreath:). Xoxo

Essie samples:)

I was bored and decided to sample out some colors either I haven't worn or it has been awhile.

I sampled Essie brand and the colors are go overboard, turquoise and Caicos, smokin hot and very structured. Go overboard and smokin hot were my two favorites and also liked very structured. I love blue and turquoise colors are my absolute favorites but this turquoise and Caicos was very watery.

It took three thick coats and still looked weird to me also kind of streaky. Normally I have found this before in china glaze but Essie has always been pretty good as far as the thickness and consistency of the color etc. I have a couple of light pink colors that need a few coats to look solid or to cover nail good, but was odd with this one. Was wondering if anyone else has this color and if it was the same way for them.

Posting a couple photos. Please ignore my cuticles been doing a lot of painting and crafting around the house and need to give myself a good manicure to fix up my cuticles. I also broke several nails last week and this am:( need to do a trim and try to make them look as uniform as possible.

Enjoy the photos and hope everyone has a wonderful week:)

Pink Wednesday for Breast Cancer Awareness

I wanted to post these earlier but been super busy finishing up my final three wreaths for Halloween since it is approaching so quick. I will have photos to share tomorrow and hopefully will have them up for sale on my etsy shop no later then Friday:) they are pretty cool and I can't wait to share them. I will throw in a smell peak after my photos for pink Wednesday.

So today I ran to the beauty supply, wanted to hit ulta but they don't open till ten and I had errands to do do the beauty supply opens at 9. I go to a dazl beauty supply in pembroke pines and love it:). The staff is so friendly and the sales girl is always showing me photos of new stuff coming in and photos of polishes she has bought which helps me decide what colors to get. I grabbed two new polishes then had a couple I got last week. I went with these two shades cause I love the light pretty shade for the under coat then the Milani pink and silver sparkles is gorgeous:).

I already have my colors and planning to do a design next week. Last week before this all started I posted a photo of some pink ribbon nail tattoos my girlfriend gave me and everyone asked me where they can be found. I actually found some on an end cap full of pink ribbon and Breast cancer awareness goodies. They have stickers for your car, iron on shirt designs, bracelets, pendants, pins and the nail tattoos. They are only $2.00 and proceeds go to research for breast cancer.

I did a base coat of butter London nail foundation then two thick coats of OPI, In the spotlight pink. Once dry I applied two thin coats of Milani Pink Flare gorgeous sparkle polish. This is such a gorgeous top coat. I recommend both to everyone, the OPI color is super sheer and would be great for a French manicure as well. I did two thick coats cause I was covering with sparkles but if I wore it solo may have needed three or four coats to not see the nail line underneath.

Enjoy the photos and look forward to seeing what all the other ladies did for the first Wednesday. Have a great week, weekend is almost here. Goodnight

Julep October box, love it!

Just got my October Julep box thought about canceling it, because I did the penny thing just to try it and was impressed for a penny but 20? Wasn't sure but then I forgot to cancel and they sent me the one free polish with box option so I got the Sofia glow in the dark one for my daughter.

I opened my box and was surprised to see candy corn and two little packets of black and orange nail glitter;). Love the little cute added extras.  This julep box was a pleasant much needed surprise today. I also got some of my eBay purchases my victoria secret soft comfy pants, some tops and long sleeve pullover crew neck vs tops. I love eBay:) I get the same items vs sells for 49-69 dollars for $19-26 love it! I live in sweats or velour pants with a tank or tee. Wish some cool weather would come through so I can wear my boots and scarves too.

My other julep colors are Caroline which is a deep burgundy with a shimmer to it and Leslie which is black with what appears to be green and purple sparkles in it. Then I got the crackle Glenda in silver, I don't care much for crackle but maybe for Halloween it won't be to much. I also got the candy corn yum reminds me of my daddy was his favorite candy:) then two pods of glitter one black and one orange:). I will sample them out soon and post some photos.

I also have to review Birchbox and am excited to see the goop Birchbox for oct. I will also be sure to post some photos of my amazing eBay finds I have gotten like six pants, three tee shirts, a tank and two long sleeve sweat shirt style tops with no hoodie.

Even with rain, Crazy and waking up on wrong side of the bed in the end it's been an excellent day for me:). I love my hubby he is the best and most supportive man I am blessed to have such an amazing spouse. He knows me so well and sticks by me thru thick and thin.

Happy Monday everyone
