Hot Pink

Hi there :)

I hope everyone is having fun entering the giveaway! I am so excited! We have 288 likes on our facebook!!!! You guys are so cool!!!!

So today I wanted to show you a really neat polish I found at Hot Topic!! The brand is called Black Heart, they are cruelty free and I believe they are also vegan formula..  I have a few polishes from Hot Topic from before they changed their bottles.. They had clearanced all the ones out a loooooong time ago and when I asked why the lady told me they wouldn't be selling them anymore... I never really gave it another thought.. When I walked in and saw these... I HAD TO HAVE THEM ALL!!! ( I only bought 2 ).. The bottles.. They are wicked cool... Want to know what they look like? They are skulls! How. friggin. wicked! LOOK!




Ok. See how that is 3 different colors there..  I was like oh hey how does this work. And I started to shake it... Then I noticed this...


So I was confused... I was like wait how is this supposed to work? I don't understand...  Then I tried it on.. THAT is how it's supposed to work. Wow what a beautiful color!!  Not one nail looked exactly the same color and I think that is neat. It turned out to be a light pink/silver. Very pretty. 


I decided to try a glitter polish that I had made to put on top. Its pink, purple and a tiny bit of blue holo glitter with some black hex glitter.. I kind of really love how they look together!


My camera could not get a great picture of the polish on my nails... I really hate this camera! The Blackheart polishes can be found at Hot Topic and they are 5$, which I didn't think was too bad since I'm pretty sure they used to be like 6.99$ AND they are SO COOL!

Thank you for reading, I hope you enjoy!

I lavendare you!



Hi there :) Happy Friday! 
 
I wanted to post this like Monday or Tuesday but this past week my schedule was really dum and weird and I couldn’t find the time to sit and do my nails and write a post. . So here is the post. :)
 
Last week I got a 10$ Wal Mart gift card from my mypoints, so I stopped to get Noner some dog food… As I was walking in I noticed these super adorable polishes I’ve never seen before, and I had to stop! The colors were sooo pretty! Right away I checked to see if they had anything about being cruelty free.. It must have been fate – it said it right there on the label! ‘We never test on animals’. Oh yay! I think I stood there looking at them for at least 15 minutes trying decided which one I wanted… It was so hard!

 I chose a really pretty light lavender color called “I lavendare you!” it wasn’t until I went to use it that I noticed it had a really pretty glittery/shimmer undertone to it! 

The brand is named “flower beauty”. After doing a little bit of googling I found that the company is owned by Drew Barrymore ( I really love her as an actress! ), I believe they are a Wal Mart exclusive brand, they are made in the United States, and they never test on animals. You can check out the philosophy, other cosmetics they have, where to buy near you and other stuff on their website. I loved the formula of this polish and even in my gloves it lasted a few days! When it did peel off it only peeled in small flecks.. I will definitely be buying more colors of this!  



Omg in this last picture my hands look so bad! The antibiotics that I am on and this cold weather we are having are KILLING my skin! 

Thank you for reading! I hope you enjoy!

Evangeline

I already have a few posts lined up to put up, but I wanted to share this one first. Did these nails last night and I just LOVE this color. The pics don't do it any justice! I took advantage of the Zoya pick 3 for free sale and got Jem, Karine, and Evangeline. I will eventually show you guys the other two, but Evangeline I wanted to do last night. I just think its such a pretty color, and it has a subtle shimmer to it. Looks really awesome outside in the sunlight too! I was kinda worried when I got it cuz in the bottle it looks red and I was like "OH NO! Its supposed to be a pink color!" After putting it on though, its definitely pink. Used China Glaze's no chip top coat for my top. Sorry this is such a short post, but I promise I will have a longer post soon!

Sasha

Hi there :)

Happy Weekend! I hope everyone is having a great one :). I really wanted to crochet today... Like all day but we ended up running errands and I had to do dishes and clean up some. The house has really taken the back seat lately with me being sick and working and I couldn't seem to get any better :0

I wanted to show you a pretty that I got from a swap. I know I mentioned the swap groups before and some may be weary but so far I have had nothing but wonderful swaps with wonderful people and I've made some new friends too!

Meet Sasha! She is a really pretty pink/salmon color. I was really surprised with how nice it looked on me and to me, the color made my nails look longer than they are :)


This is a short post but I just had to share with you this pretty color! I hope you like it! Thanks for reading!

Optical Illusion Rodeo Fanatic!

Hi there :)

I have a short post for you with my nails :) .

For Christmas Hubby got me some really pretty nail polishes. Two of them were China Glaze Rodeo Fanatic & Optical Illusion.

I did 4 nails with Optical Illusion and I wanted an accent nail so I used Rodeo Fanatic under one of them.. After I finished I wish I would have done Rodeo Fanatic as a base for all of them and did just one accent nail with just Optical Illusion, but I still really love how they turned out!



The Optical Illusion I used two coats but I feel like I probably could have added one more. It didn't last very long either :((. It started chipping after my first shower and a day in my gloves at work, I only had polish on the accent nail.... That's ok- just a reason to repaint my nails :D






Thank you for reading! I hope you enjoy!

My dog Fiona

Hi there :)

I have a nail post for you but, I'd really like you to meet my dog!! Her name is Fiona and I love her SO much! About 2 1/2 years ago Hubby and I wanted to start a family but we weren't in a place to be able to and we weren't ready.. We still aren't.. He said to me he would like a dog.. Growing up my family always had cats and even since Toby and I have been married- we have 5 rescue fat cats. I never really wanted a dog (even when I told my facebook friends that I got a dog, they couldn’t believe that I had gotten a dog!) But I thought about it a little and I decided that maybe a dog would be ok, but it would have to be a rescue.. So he looked, we went to a few shelters and then he found Fortunate Lab Rescue a shelter that saves dogs from being used in test experiments…  When Toby told me about this place I said “There is still testing on animals?” Surprisingly there are a lot of companies that still do.. I thought for sure with all the technology and stuff that we have now-a-days that was for sure a thing of the past…

 He pulled some dogs up to look and we found Bella (Now Fiona). She is a German Shepherd and she is a big fat baby :D. When we went to the place to actually look at the dogs we looked at a few and one of them was SO obnoxious and the other one peed right there on the floor in front of me…. If I had a bigger home with a yard, I would have adopted all those babies but we decided to adopt Fiona for now. Adjusting to a dog was weird, and a lot of times at first I would forget we even had her! I have grown to love her so so much, I can't imagine my life without a dog and she has changed something in me. I’ve always been compassionate and especially toward animals but when we got her I feel like I really realized my passion and purpose in life- to help animals. I love animals- more than most humans… I would love to have another dog!! Toby and I have decided when we move we will buy a large house with a large yard so that we can have more… I don’t even know if there is another dog in this world that is as good as Fiona but I'm willing to find out. For a first dog, I could not have asked for a better dog! That is a lot to live up to lolol. When I look at her, I just cannot believe that someone would want to test on or hurt her or that someone could test on or hurt any animal.. For me it was easy to make the choice to become cruelty free. In my home we don’t buy products that have been tested on animals.. A lot of times the things are the same price as a non cruelty free product, I just have to take a little longer to do the research to find out if the Company is cruelty free or not. You can order a free guide from peta, here.  I’m still waiting for mines, I ordered it about 2 months ago, maybe a little less but it is estimated 10 weeks to get so I will wait- that is what smart phones have google for! A word to companies that don't test- GO YOU! PLEASE know that you are amazing and if you are a cruelty free product show that shit off! Paste it on every product!

Thank you for reading about my dog Fiona. I will post my nail post in a little bit!
