If you're a fan of Katy Perry, then you know she always seems to be sporting some pretty awesome nail designs. Well did you know she did a nail polish collection with one of my favorite nail polish companies?! Katy Perry created a nail polish collection with OPIthat includes four new nail polish colors and a black "crackle" polish, which is my favorite out of the collection. Last Friday Night, Not Like The Movies, Teenage Dream, and The One That Got Away are the four different polish colors included in the collection. In all honestly, those colors didn't really call to me. The only one I bought was the crackle polish, which is called Black Shatter.I was so happy to pick this one up because I've never owned a crackle polish before! When I was younger, I believe Cover Girl released a few crackle polishes. However, I was a child at the time, so I didn't have the money for it, and my mom didn't believe in buying nail polish for a child..go figure =\ Anyways, now I finally have my hands on my very own crackle polish, and I am so happy with it! In case you didn't know, crackle polishes are a sort of topcoat. You apply the crackle topcoat over a base color, and the polish begins to make a cracked effect on the nail. It gives off this cool shattered look, leaving your nails looking edgy and rockin'!
This is OPI Black Shatter over Klean Color Pink Holo. I used one coat of Black Shatter. This polish dries matte, so if you want a shiny finish, I suggest you add a nice topcoat. Topcoat will also help make the polish stay on longer =)
Who needs a Super Man when you can have a WONDER WOMAN?? ;D
I see my wallet is going to be crying a river next month because that's when Mac's new Wonder Woman inspired collection will be released! I've been a DC Comics fan all my life, so when I first heard about this collection I was jumping for joy! I know everyone doesn't feel the same way, but I LOVE the packaging! It reminds me of the comic book! Is anyone else excited? Will you be picking up anything from this collection? U.S. Launch date: February 10, 2011
Hey sweeties! As soon as I saw the promotional cover art for Britney Spears' new single "Hold It Against Me" I knew I HAD to do my own version of it. Her makeup looks fierce, yet natural, and I love that aspect of it.
Ignore the brows...I'm going through a transitional phase with them at the moment :P
Heyyyyy sweeties! So recently I've been OBSESSED with creme polishes. I can't help myself! It's all I've been wearing for two weeks straight. I don't know what's going on with me, but I'm not used to this. For the past couple of months I've been wearing shimmery and glittery polishes for Christmas and my birthday, so maybe that's the problem. Maybe my eyes need a rest from all the sparkles :P Anyways, here's the color I put on today, and instantly fell in love with! It's a nail polish from American Apparel called Mac Arthur Park. It's not your average nail polish color, and because of that I LOVE it! And yes, I know there's air bubbles on my nails. I was testing out my new top coat, Nail Tek Quicken Top Coat, and I don't like it =\ I miss my Seche Vite! I lost it last week.. I need to take my butt to Sallys and go pick up a new one, because air bubbles are quite irritating..lol.
My mom says the color looks like baby poo (SMH!), but I don't care...I think it's beautiful and unique!
What do you think of this shade? Would you ever wear it?
Heyyyyyyy sweeties! Since I showed these lipsticks in my video ( CVS Beauty Clearance Vid ) and in my previous blogpost, I figured I'd swatch them for you so you knew what they looked like! I'm not sure if these colors are getting discontined or not, but if they are you might want to pick them up now! They're beautiful shades and only $2.49 right now at your local CVS!
These are my first makeup swatches on my blog, so don't flame me for not having perfect swatches pleeeeease!
