30 Followers?!

Woo hoo! Thank-you guys! I just noticed that I've gotten up to 30 followers. That's just plain crazy. It sounds funny that I'm jumping up and down about 30 followers, but I feel like that's a pretty big accomplishment. When I first started my blog, I didn't think even two people would read my blog, let alone 30! I just wanted to thank each and every one of you. I appreciate you following me. It means so much!

I've been buried under books and papers, trying to get all my school assignments done, so I apologize for not posting more often. Hopefully  I'll be able to post a little more soon!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful week! Happy Hump Day! haha

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Manicure

Creative title, eh? This past weekend, the fourth movie of the hit saga came out! I'll admit, I'm a bit of Twilight nerd. I don't even want to say how many times I read the books when they first came out... A friend and myself even wanted to try to remake the first movie... *hides face in embarrassment* Don't believe me? Take a look for yourself...

Okay, okay.. now that we've all gotten a bit of chuckle... on to what we're actually hear for! Beauty talk! For the premiere of the movie I did a manicure inspired by the cover of Breaking Dawn. Painting chess pieces is a lot harder than you would expect!

What was used:

Alpine Snow by OPI

Black Out by Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear

Acrylic Paint from the dollar store for the white and red on the ring finger

Seche Vite Quick Dry Top Coat 

I used an Essie base coat (I don't recall the actual name of it)

Did any of you ladies see Breaking Dawn? I thought it was pretty good. Although, I could understand why critics are giving it such a hard time! I think they may be thinking that it dragged a bit in parts... but as a reader of the books, I'm sort of glad that the audience got to enjoy Bella and Edward's honeymoon a bit more than anticipated.

 I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

Have a great and healthy week!

Hello everyone!

Welcome to my new followers. Thank-you so much for following me.. it truly means so much! I've been so busy with trying to catch up with school work from when I was sick. I feel so overwhelmed! I'm sorry I haven't been posting often. I know.. I know.. I say that every time I do post, but I mean it! 

Hopefully everyone had a wonderful weekend. I know where I live, it was bright and sunny, and even warm! You'd almost think it was the spring, not the fall! 

Here's a quick look I did on my brother. 

I used my MUFE Flash Colour Palette, translucent powder to set the colour, and MAC's Fig. 1 eyeshadow gently dabbed on the nose and lips. 

I hope you enjoy this look! 

Have a fantastic week, full of smiles and laughing!

Halloween Splatter

Hello everyone,

It's been a very long time since I've posted! I'm very sorry. I've been sick in bed with pneumonia... but I'm finally almost back to myself! I had so many big plans for some Halloween looks, but I've just run out of time. Perhaps my looks might just be a little late! Who says Halloween can't be in November and December too?!

I managed to sit down and do my nails for the first time in weeks. I didn't have tons of time, so I decided to try something simple. I've seen many tutorials on splatter nails, and I've always loved how they looked. So this was the perfect opportunity to try it with some Halloween themed colours! Hope you enjoy this quick post!

I hope you are happy and healthy! Have a fantastic week... and of course.. a HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Om Nom Nom Nom Nom... COOKIES!

Hello everyone!

It was a beautiful Monday today.. lots of sun and the weather was warm for once! (It's been so cold lately that I've had to wear jeans - sometimes even sweaters!) I hope it was like that for everyone!

Today I'm going to show you some nail art that I did about a week ago. This isn't my original idea by any means.. I got the idea for this mani from CutePolish on YouTube (check out her video here). I just loved this. I couldn't stop staring at my hands. There's something about cookie monster that just makes me happy! Who was your favourite character from Sesame Street?

Okay.. enough rambling.. on to the manicure:

Have an awesome week guys! Thanks for following my work, it truly means so much to me! 

Flying to Space

Several afternoon's ago I didn't have anything to do, so I decided to sit down and play with make-up. I didn't have anything in mind, so I searched google for some inspiration. I've seen some beautiful space inspired looks lately (Check out this amazing look here!) After remembering this, I decided to look up some pictures of space! Here is my lovely inspiration:

Originally, I was going for a cut crease.. but it didn't quite turn out. What can I say? I'm a blender! haha I wasn't quite thrilled with the result, but some of the members over on Make-up Geek seemed to enjoy it, so I thought I'd share it with my followers! Hope you guys enjoy it as well. Constructive criticism is always welcome! I will try to edit this post with the products I used etc.. when I get a chance!

Have an awesome Sunday everyone! For those of you going to school, try to enjoy your second week back!

Cherry Blossoms

Hi everyone!

I have yet another nail look.. I'm sorry I've been posting so many of them, rather than make-up looks. I just haven't been very creative with my make-up. I hope you still enjoy these nails! I hope everyone is having an awesome week!

What was used:

Firstbase Base Coat by Essie

For Audrey by China Glaze (teal blue)

Snow White by Zoya (white)

Sparrow Me The Drama by OPI (light pink in center of the flower)

Kiss Nail Art Paint in Black

Fast Drying Top Coat by Seche Vite
