Rock-It

Super excited to show you guys this mani. Its one of my top faves that I did and I get to also show you two of my new favorite things!

I went to T.J. Maxx for the first time the other day to see what kind of polishes they had. I didn't even know they sold polishes there until I had received some from one of my buddies with a T.J. Maxx price tag on it. So I went in there and they didn't really have a lot to choose from that I was interested in. They did have a TON of Essie's though in pretty colors for $4 something. Good deal. Anyways, so I did find this cute lil "Perfect Duo" box from Orly. It had Rock-It and Face of Destiny in it. Rock-It is the darker color and Face of Destiny is the salmon color. I got this duo for $5.99! Rock-It is what sold me, this is probably my new favorite nail polish color. I LOVE THIS COLOR!!! Face of Destiny is pretty too, but I am not like super in love with it. There could have been a super ugly color in this duo pack and I would have still gotten it because of Rock-It. lol

I don't have many Orly's, not including these two, I think I have 3 or 4. I haven't really used them much yet either, so this was really my first time using Orly for a full mani. I don't like the brushes, they're real skinny, I hate skinny brushes. Otherwise though its a nice formula and goes on smoothly.

Next I am gonna show you these awesome new Sally Hansen I <3 Nail Art pens!! They're so awesome, compared to trying to use a dotting tool, or the nail art duo pens from Art Club. I love them so much and I want every color now. I have white and black. I will be showing you the white in this post. They're like paint pens. They are so much easier to use to do nail art. I haven't gotten used to applying them yet, so in this mani they're kinda dotty and messy, but I still love it! I mean seriously, this stuff is so easy and so quick to do and dries so fast that I did BOTH hands AND my kids were even awake when I did them. CRAZY! haha Another thing I loved was that the white didn't bleed. All the other white nail art polishes I have the colors always seem to bleed and take forever to dry.

I hope you guys enjoyed my post! Have a great week! xoLeah

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!!

I seen this on Facebook not too long ago and I love it because this is exactly how I feel about the whole situation with people being offended about people saying a certain greeting. Its just rude. You don't have to celebrate it, just respect that they celebrate something different and let them great you how they great people for their holiday. You wouldn't be offended if someone from another country told you hi in their language would you? Anyways, thats just how I feel. So happy holidays to everyone no matter what you celebrate!

 I really wanted to do a lot of Christmas mani's this year, but I have absolutely no Christmas spirit. My kids have been rotten. Even now being Christmas Eve they're screaming at each other and fighting over everything. Its mostly my oldest, he antagonizes his brother and gets him going. My youngest is such a good boy when his brother is at school, he's a different person when he comes home.

I have really been depressing on my last few posts, I am sorry... 

Ok, so here are my Christmas nails. I did two different ones. One on each hand. So the right hand is messy haha. I used mostly all Milani for both manis. Here is the first one:

I smudged the thumb a little, so please ignore that. lol

For that mani I used Nabi White underneath all the glitters. For the middle finger glitter I used NOPI Heavenly Angel. Then here are the Milani colors I used from thumb to pinky: Silver (glitter), Ruby Jewels, Green Glow, Gold (glitter). Green Glow was a very transparent polish. I had to put like 5 or 6 coats on. Its a very pretty color though. I should probably throw out this nabi white polish too cuz its so thick and goopy, its gross. Yet I keep using it for manis because I know right where its at instead of searching for my other whites. lol

For my next mani I used Milani Ruby Jewels, Nabi White, and NOPI Heavenly Angel.

Please ignore my dry skin. This was right after I got out of the shower and the shower dries me out!

I really love using Ruby Jewels for Christmas manis because its sparkly and red. I used it last year I believe too for my Christmas mani. Heavenly Angel is just so pretty and looks like sparkling snow flakes, I love it! I think this is the first time I've used that polish. 

Hope you guys enjoyed my post and have a great Christmas or whatever holiday you celebrate!! Tonight my family and I are going to my parents to do our annual Christmas party. Everyone be safe! Merry Christmas! xoLeah

Merry Christmas from my family and I!
