Kiss Nail Dress Fashion

Influenster sent me these I got a great pattern!!! LOOOVE these!!!!  They run between $6-$8 and can be found at most drugstores as well as places like Ulta and Sephora. The say they last up to 10 days.

 My started peeling after 7, but I'm extremely hard on my hands and nails!  Also, I feel like if I had painted a clear coat over them they would stay longer than 10 days!  These were also way nice because they FIT MY NAILS!  Seriously, I have small nails... and usually I have to fuss and cut blah blah blah blah! They had such a wide variety of sizes in one package, and I had two full sets as well!! LOVE THAT!

I can't tell you how many people complimented my nails while I had these on!! I was a little unsure I've never worn print on my nails!!  So many people asked me where I got them what they were and totally loved them!! What do you think?

Dating Drama: Over-eager Boys

       So this is more of a personal post but here we go!!! So recently I joined an online dating site! Crazy I know... But I work a lot, and I'm in school when I'm not working and don't meet a lot of people so I figured it would be a good way to meet new people and get myself out there.
       So it's been about a month and I just have some hilarious stories to go with this!! In general, I've haven't met any men that are way weird... other than a couple of men over 50 but never talked to them...because that's just weird.  I really like the site, because you can see the people who are looking at your profile so if you are interested you can always contact them.  Now to preface this, recently I have become extremely picky when it comes to dating people.  I met the most wonderful man ever when I was a Sophomore in high school, that I absolutely love, and it seems that no one ever measures up to him...but recent events have put me in a position were I am forced to try... so here I am... trying... so lets begin.
        Met this guy online seemed cool lets call him Bob...We started texting, and then like a hour before he asked if I wanted to meet up and go grab breakfast! Since it was a quick turnover I didn't have a long time to talk myself out of it and since it was the first time I've met up it was good for me so I agreed.  Then immediately called my brother.  He turned on a tracker to track my phone and I sent him pictures of the guy so that if anything happened....my brother could hunt him down and take him out :) hahahahha The first date was fun, no big deal lasted like an a couple hours and he had to leave for work which was cool... Then four hours later.... this is 11:30pm he texts me asking if I wanted to watch a movie.  Keep in mind he lives about 40 mins from me! I explain that the theatre isn't playing this late! He suggests that we watch a movie at my house or his.  First off... I'm not going to let someone I've met once come over to my house at midnight to watch a movie!!! SO I just tell him no and he insists that I have to watch a movie with him the following Tuesday which I agree to.
       Tuesday rolls around we are going to see The Lorax seemed harmless enough. This is our SECOND date... First I get lost finding the theatre... because he wasn't clear on which theatre it was.. then he decides to see a later showing... which was whatever, but just showed a total lack of planning on his part and that seriously just drives me bonkers!!! SO needless to say I had to try really hard to be in a good mood when I arrived! So we watch the movie it was very cute, we ended up being the only two in the entire theatre which was kind of cool that's never happened to me! So the movie is way cute it ends and I get up to leave but he doesn't.... so I sit back down and we talk for probably forty minuets.  Then the sound turns off and so I was like oh there is a perfect sue to leave... nope... so then the lights turn off... and I'm like alright... I'm done with this so then he says "here let me show you something" turns and decides to kiss me!!!!!! I'm not kidding... and not a "I love you grandma" kiss either! I was like seriously?!?! It was insane... at the end of the date I made it pretty clear that I was not very happy about being ambushed, he ended up not being very happy but we both agreed to start with a clean slate... Haven't seen him since then but plan to go dancing to give him another chance... though... it's pretty clear what he's after in my mind.
       Anyway, a little bit different post than usual for me but still "girl talk" related! :) Let me know what you think about these kind of posts.  More? Let me know what you think.

Update/ Kony 2012

So, I've decided my blog needs a little TLC! I want to focus more doing posts and blogging than I have in the passed! SO I'm going to plan on blogging at least twice before Sunday :)

I wanted to post about this! I feel it's important to be informed about issue and charities. Links below are for both sides of the coin on this issue and there are lots lots more out there! This is just amazing and deserves a lot of support! The truth is Invisible Children are the biggest and most influential organization supporting this issue... and if you are going to help make a difference it's going to be through this organization hope you guys enjoy!!

Review: Maybelline 24 Hour Color Tattoo

Retail $5.99 2 Target (.14 oz/ 4g)

Audacious Asphalt

Tough as Taupe


Too Cool




 I Absolutely love these! They have a great consistency, and staying power.  They last longer on me than Mac's Paint Pots do (with primer of course).  They are so pigmented and blend like a dream and are really inexpensive drugstore products.  For 5g of products Mac's Paint pots are $17.50, while these which are 4g are only $5.99 and to me, work better! They don't have a huge array of colors yet... Five more neutral colors and five more loud and fun colors.  Maybe they will release more but for now I'm really loving these products!
They are very long wearing as  I said longer than paint pots not 24 hours for me, but still really good (and really who needs their eye shadow to last 24 hours?)




What's your favorite cream eyeshadow?

NOTD/ Favorite Nail Combo

This has hands down been my absolute FAVORITE combination recently!!! I absolutely love it! It's Essie's "Shine of the Times" over a black polish, the one I'm wearing happens to be "Licorice." The sparkly "Shine of the Times" really looks like nothing special but layered over black it's just way cool looking! It reflects green, orange, red, and a little pink.   I just love all the different colors it reflects it's simply beautiful! I can't tell you how many people have stopped me and asked me about my nails when I wear it! It's definitely been my favorite nail combo this month and last!

Pressing Mac Pigments

Dazzlesphere Berry Ornament Pigments
 All you need is the pans which you can get at Coastal Scents, rubbing alcohol, something to mix it with, paper towels, a quarter, and the pigment (all easy to get or things you have around the house).

  1.     Add the alcohol to the pigments in the pan 
  2.     Mix
  3.     Let stand for two hours
  4.     Cover the pan and mixed pigment with a paper towel and place the quarter on top
  5.      Push the quarter down to compact the pigment even more
  6.     Let the rest of the alcohol evaporate and then you have your pressed pigment!

 



Next to Mac's Cranberry





















I love these colors they are soooo pretty and for $32.50 a great deal!

Do you like using your pigments loose or pressed?

Shoe Haul!

Okay so I went a little crazy buying shoes recently! :P I really wanted to get rid of some of my shoes and get some new ones!

I needed some black flats and I really love the patent leather on these and they are CRAZY comfortable! The brand is Me too bought at Nordstrom. 

I love these I was kinda iffy about them at first they are by the brand Borne and they are EXTREMELY comfortable as well.  The berry color is a great pop of color with neutral outfits that need a little more to them! Bought at Nordstrom.

I LOVE these they look great with skinny jeans for an edgy look but look really classic under jeans. Bought at Famous Footwear

I  love these flat boots too! They don't look like much on but wow when you put them on these are so cute! You can fold the top down or leave it straight and again ultra comfy!  Bought at Famous Footwear

Okay.... I'm in love... these shoes were made for me!! They are so cute! They are by Steve Madden and they are a great alternative to gold or platinum flats! However, I do have to return them and get a whole size bigger because they run so small but I just LLOOVE these can can't wait to wear them! Bought at Nordstom



XOXO
