nails of the week

well until i get bored with them. I'm not sure how much I like this combo.
I started off with Petites Island Smoothie and Sally Hansen Rose Wine as my accent color but Island Smoothie looked more white than pink on the nail. Then I applied Sinful Colors Bianca over Island Smoothie. Once that was dry, I applied Island Smoothie over Bianca, giving me a result of how it appears in the bottle. The accent nail no longer applies because it blends in with the other nails, so that was an accent fail. It's supposed to be the ring finger. Overall it's a nice pinky combo. However, I probably wouldn't use Island Smoothie on its own.





Have you used Petites Island Smoothie? How do you make it work for you?

nails of the week

This is the new beginning of this blog. I've decided to focus on nail polish and what better way to start is with a nail of the week.

In the bottle these colors look somewhat similar but Hannah Pinktana has microglitter while Shausha is a sheer purple with gold shimmer.

2 coats of Shausha, accent nail 1 coat of Shausha over 1 coat of Hannah Pinktana, no top coat.

Nail Polish Collection

So when I moved to PR in February, I obviously couldn’t take everything because I was supposed to travel light. (Sidenote: Light for me was 2 suitcases, a backpack and my laptop bag and I mailed out 2 small boxes.) So of course, I ended up leaving a lot behind and that’s including half my nail polish collection. I asked my sister to do me a HUGE favor and make a list of the polishes I left there. The main reason I wanted the list is so I don’t end up buying dupes of what I already own. Being the great little sister she is, she took the time to type out the list for me. I was shocked, because I thought I had left more. Anyways, here’s the list.

Beauty Wish List

I’m somewhat on a “no-buy” once again. For a while, part of the reason I disappeared from Twitter and the beauty community on YouTube was because I wanted to shop and tweet and was a little sulky I couldn’t. Some of the “new” items I want are a few months old (but I still want them) although I may not be able to find them. Some of the items have been on my wish list even when I wasn’t on “no-buy” but just couldn’t get them. So here’s my wish list and if as I get the items on the list, I’ll mark them off.

10 confessions...

One of the trending topics on Twitter right now is 10 confessions (and NSYNC, woot woot!) Since confessions are a little too personal for Twitter, I figured I would post mine here.

1. Sometimes I do not like what I see when I look in the mirror.
2. I love food too much.
3. I have not forgave my mom for making me quit Marionettes my senior year.
4. I have a strong desire to be a mom but fear it will never happen.
5. I do not know how to swim and hate getting water in my face.
6. I feel like a failure because I'm 27 years old and haven't accomplished anything in life.
7. My biggest mistake was moving out of my dad's house in 2006. I was not ready.
8. I'm afraid of dying before getting married, having kid(s) and having a career.
9. I don't like giving up (materialistic) things. I want to hold on to everything for ever.
10. I've always felt like the odd-ball that doesn't have any friends.
